Using PHP Codeception and WebDriver PHP wrapper (Facebook), is it in general possible to get the environment variables of the actual page request, made by PhantomJS or a real browser used?
Maybe it is just my misunderstanding of the technology behind acceptance tests, but given the fact that a testing framework like Codeception is requesting a page using PhantomJS or a real browser like Chrome or Firefox, I would expect to have access to e.g. the $_SERVER global variable. Unfortunately I can not find any methods providing this in WebDriver Codeception module or Facebook PHP WebDriver wrapper.
Specifically, I have a page which is supposed to use SSL only, so a 301 redirection is expected to happen when visiting the page.
I need to have an acceptance test case in Codeception to check just that and checking the $_SERVER['HTTPS'] global variable should do it.
First I tried to match the URL against 'https://' but the WebDriver wrapper method _getCurrentUrl() delivers only the URI part without protocol and host.
Then I tried to get the $_SERVER variable inside custom Helper action, but the one accessed directly looks like it comes from the CLI environment, not a browser request.
No, you can't access $_SERVER in acceptance tests, because $_SERVER is in server-side and all you have is a client.
If you want to check a complete url, you can use getCurrentURL method of webdriver instance, it can be accessed in the same way as _getCurrentUri method in your helper.
public function checkUrl()
{
$url = $this->getModule('WebDriver')->webDriver->getCurrentURL();
//do your checks here
}
If already used WebDriver module:
$currentUrl = $I->executeJS('return jQuery(location).attr("href");');

I am using:
driver.get(“www.google.com”)
The script is not running from this line of code
And if i use:
driver.get(“https://www.google.com”)
It start working
Can anybody please help me out why it is working with https and not working without https?
It is inbuilt implementation of Method get(); and navigate().to(); which work on HTTP GET request.
This is Declaration By method itself:
Load a new web page in the current browser window. This is done using
an HTTP GET operation, and the method will block until the load is
complete. This will follow redirects issued either by the server or as
a meta-redirect from within the returned HTML. Should a meta-redirect
"rest" for any duration of time, it is best to wait until this timeout
is over, since should the underlying page change whilst your test is
executing the results of future calls against this interface will be
against the freshly loaded page.
Parameters: url The URL to load. It is best to use a fully qualified URL
However When we use same string in Browser and it works. Because Browser has it default HTTP protocol and based on that if we don't text http:// or https:// it automatically convert String in to URL.
Here transformation made via get(); method to Browser, and As declared by method it needs URL and not String. Thus it retrieve this Exception.
i use cucumber ruby for automation testing at browser. i need print cookies the browser
how to get cookies in browser in capyabara
1. inspect element at browser
2. application
3. print the cookies
how to print cookies browser in cucumber capyabara
i have try
puts Capybara.current_session.driver
but print like this
#<Capybara::Selenium::Driver:0x007fcbf52e2250>
Since feature tests (which is what Capybara was/is designed for) really shouldn't be dealing with cookies (test user visible things, not implementation details) there is no Capybara cookie API. This means any access is going to be driver dependent. In your case you appear to be using selenium so it would be
page.driver.browser.manage.all_cookies
i try this can be solve
Capybara.current_session.driver.browser.manage.cookie_named("browser_id")[:value]
I'm testing a webpage using Selenium (either IDE or webdriver). The webpage has a "search" function, basically just a GET call with params. The javascript also output to console the JSON returned from the search call, i.e. something like console.log(data). And I'm able to inspect the response data in Firefox console.
My question is: is there anyway I can capture this data from Firefox console in Selenium (so that I can further inspect and doing asserts)? Writing a direct GET request (eg, from Python) does not work since the search url is protected through a login page.
Thanks.
AFAIK Selenium doesnt provide any in built API/method to play with console.
You can redirect console output file and read from file.

It was possible at one point using Firebug. Not sure if it still works.
When using Geb, is it possible to set custom request headers and user agent when using the Browser API (and not the Direct Download API)?
While this is possible with the FirefoxDriver (see here), I am looking for a way of doing this with the WebKitDriver.
A possible solution is via a proxy.
BrowserMob has a standalone mode with REST api, or embedded in your test programmatically: https://github.com/webmetrics/browsermob-proxy . Useful when there are a lot of custom headers you want to test.
If you already have Apache, you can create another VirtualHost on a different port having that particular request header, and point your browser to that port before the test. Given that your header doesn't change between tests.
This might not be the direct solution to your question: modify request headers directly in Browser API, but it achieves the end result.
We have a bunch of redirects in our Apache configuration. I would like to automate the testing of redirects with Selenium, which led me to some problems:
Call an URL, but assert on the redirected page
Check the URL of the browser after redirected
Check Response Header, to determine the type of redirection (301, 302)
Maybe Selenium is not the best solution for this. Any other suggestions?
Selenium-RC has a traffic capture mode, defined as selenium.start("captureNetworkTraffic=true"); that will enable you to capture HTTP responses, including redirects and error codes.
Here is an excellent resource on how to capture and process/format this information once retrieved. It uses Python, though, but should give you a start.
For checking the URL of browser, you could use selenium.getLocation();
in python's implementation,
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
print driver.current_url
