Selenium Actions
Selenium
Actions
- addLocationStrategy
( strategyName,functionDefinition )
-
Defines
a new function for Selenium to locate elements on the page. For
example, if you define the strategy "foo", and someone
runs click("foo=blah"), we'll run your function, passing
you the string "blah", and click on the element that your
function returns, or throw an "Element not found" error if
your function returns null. We'll pass three arguments to your
function:
-
locator:
the string the user passed in
-
inWindow:
the currently selected window
-
inDocument:
the currently selected document
-
The
function must return null if the element can't be found.
-
Arguments:
-
strategyName
- the name of the strategy to define; this should use only letters
[a-zA-Z] with no spaces or other punctuation.
-
functionDefinition
- a string defining the body of a function in JavaScript. For
example:
return
inDocument.getElementById(locator);
-
addScript
( scriptContent,scriptTagId )
-
Loads
script content into a new script tag in the Selenium document. This
differs from the runScript command in that runScript adds the script
tag to the document of the AUT, not the Selenium document. The
following entities in the script content are replaced by the
characters they represent: < > & The corresponding remove
command is removeScript.
-
Arguments:
-
scriptContent
- the Javascript content of the script to add
-
scriptTagId
- (optional) the id of the new script tag. If specified, and an
element with this id already exists, this operation will fail.
-
addSelection
( locator,optionLocator )
-
Add
a selection to the set of selected options in a multi-select element
using an option locator. @see #doSelect for details of option
locators
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator identifying
a multi-select box
-
optionLocator
- an option locator (a label by default)
-
allowNativeXpath
( allow )
-
Specifies
whether Selenium should use the native in-browser implementation of
XPath (if any native version is available); if you pass "false"
to this function, we will always use our pure-JavaScript xpath
library. Using the pure-JS xpath library can improve the consistency
of xpath element locators between different browser vendors, but the
pure-JS version is much slower than the native implementations.
-
Arguments:
-
allow
- boolean, true means we'll prefer to use native XPath; false means
we'll only use JS XPath
-
altKeyDown
( )
-
Press
the alt key and hold it down until doAltUp() is called or a new page
is loaded.
-
altKeyUp
( )
-
Release
the alt key.
-
answerOnNextPrompt
( answer )
-
Instructs
Selenium to return the specified answer string in response to the
next JavaScript prompt [window.prompt()].
-
Arguments:
-
answer
- the answer to give in response to the prompt pop-up
-
assignId
( locator,identifier )
-
Temporarily
sets the "id" attribute of the specified element, so you
can locate it in the future using its ID rather than a
slow/complicated XPath. This ID will disappear once the page is
reloaded.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator pointing
to an element
-
identifier
- a string to be used as the ID of the specified element
-
break
( )
-
Halt
the currently running test, and wait for the user to press the
Continue button. This command is useful for debugging, but be
careful when using it, because it will force automated tests to hang
until a user intervenes manually.
-
captureEntirePageScreenshot
( filename,kwargs )
-
Saves
the entire contents of the current window canvas to a PNG file.
Contrast this with the captureScreenshot command, which captures the
contents of the OS viewport (i.e. whatever is currently being
displayed on the monitor), and is implemented in the RC only.
Currently this only works in Firefox when running in chrome mode,
and in IE non-HTA using the EXPERIMENTAL "Snapsie"
utility. The Firefox implementation is mostly borrowed from the
Screengrab! Firefox extension. Please see http://www.screengrab.org
and http://snapsie.sourceforge.net/ for details.
-
Arguments:
-
filename
- the path to the file to persist the screenshot as. No filename
extension will be appended by default. Directories will not be
created if they do not exist, and an exception will be thrown,
possibly by native code.
-
kwargs
- a kwargs string that modifies the way the screenshot is captured.
Example: "background=#CCFFDD" . Currently valid options:
-
background
-
the
background CSS for the HTML document. This may be useful to set for
capturing screenshots of less-than-ideal layouts, for example where
absolute positioning causes the calculation of the canvas dimension
to fail and a black background is exposed (possibly obscuring black
text).
-
check
( locator )
-
Check
a toggle-button (checkbox/radio)
-
Arguments:
-
chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation
( )
-
By
default, Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will return
true, as if the user had manually clicked OK; after running this
command, the next call to confirm() will return false, as if the
user had clicked Cancel. Selenium will then resume using the default
behavior for future confirmations, automatically returning true (OK)
unless/until you explicitly call this command for each confirmation.
-
Take
note - every time a confirmation comes up, you must consume it with
a corresponding getConfirmation, or else the next selenium operation
will fail.
-
-
chooseOkOnNextConfirmation
( )
-
Undo
the effect of calling chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation. Note that
Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will normally
automatically return true, as if the user had manually clicked OK,
so you shouldn't need to use this command unless for some reason you
need to change your mind prior to the next confirmation. After any
confirmation, Selenium will resume using the default behavior for
future confirmations, automatically returning true (OK) unless/until
you explicitly call chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation for each
confirmation.
-
Take
note - every time a confirmation comes up, you must consume it with
a corresponding getConfirmation, or else the next selenium operation
will fail.
-
-
click
( locator )
-
Clicks
on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the click action
causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), call
waitForPageToLoad.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
clickAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Clicks
on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the click action
causes a new page to load (like a link usually does), call
waitForPageToLoad.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
close
( )
-
Simulates
the user clicking the "close" button in the titlebar of a
popup window or tab.
-
contextMenu
( locator )
-
Simulates
opening the context menu for the specified element (as might happen
if the user "right-clicked" on the element).
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
contextMenuAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Simulates
opening the context menu for the specified element (as might happen
if the user "right-clicked" on the element).
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
controlKeyDown
( )
-
Press
the control key and hold it down until doControlUp() is called or a
new page is loaded.
-
controlKeyUp
( )
-
Release
the control key.
-
createCookie
( nameValuePair,optionsString )
-
Create
a new cookie whose path and domain are same with those of current
page under test, unless you specified a path for this cookie
explicitly.
-
Arguments:
-
nameValuePair
- name and value of the cookie in a format "name=value"
-
optionsString
- options for the cookie. Currently supported options include
'path', 'max_age' and 'domain'. the optionsString's format is
"path=/path/, max_age=60, domain=.foo.com". The order of
options are irrelevant, the unit of the value of 'max_age' is
second. Note that specifying a domain that isn't a subset of the
current domain will usually fail.
-
deleteAllVisibleCookies
( )
-
Calls
deleteCookie with recurse=true on all cookies visible to the current
page. As noted on the documentation for deleteCookie, recurse=true
can be much slower than simply deleting the cookies using a known
domain/path.
-
deleteCookie
( name,optionsString )
-
Delete
a named cookie with specified path and domain. Be careful; to delete
a cookie, you need to delete it using the exact same path and domain
that were used to create the cookie. If the path is wrong, or the
domain is wrong, the cookie simply won't be deleted. Also note that
specifying a domain that isn't a subset of the current domain will
usually fail. Since there's no way to discover at runtime the
original path and domain of a given cookie, we've added an option
called 'recurse' to try all sub-domains of the current domain with
all paths that are a subset of the current path. Beware; this option
can be slow. In big-O notation, it operates in O(n*m) time, where n
is the number of dots in the domain name and m is the number of
slashes in the path.
-
Arguments:
-
name
- the name of the cookie to be deleted
-
optionsString
- options for the cookie. Currently supported options include
'path', 'domain' and 'recurse.' The optionsString's format is
"path=/path/, domain=.foo.com, recurse=true". The order of
options are irrelevant. Note that specifying a domain that isn't a
subset of the current domain will usually fail.
-
deselectPopUp
( )
-
Selects
the main window. Functionally equivalent to using
selectWindow()
and
specifying no value for windowID
.
-
doubleClick
( locator )
-
Double
clicks on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the double
click action causes a new page to load (like a link usually does),
call waitForPageToLoad.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
doubleClickAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Doubleclicks
on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the action causes a
new page to load (like a link usually does), call waitForPageToLoad.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
dragAndDrop
( locator,movementsString )
-
Drags
an element a certain distance and then drops it
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
movementsString
- offset in pixels from the current location to which the element
should be moved, e.g., "+70,-300"
-
dragAndDropToObject
( locatorOfObjectToBeDragged,locatorOfDragDestinationObject )
-
Drags
an element and drops it on another element
-
Arguments:
-
locatorOfObjectToBeDragged
- an element to be dragged
-
locatorOfDragDestinationObject
- an element whose location (i.e., whose center-most pixel) will be
the point where locatorOfObjectToBeDragged is dropped
-
dragdrop
( locator,movementsString )
-
deprecated
- use dragAndDrop instead
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element locator
-
movementsString
- offset in pixels from the current location to which the element
should be moved, e.g., "+70,-300"
-
echo
( message )
-
Prints
the specified message into the third table cell in your Selenese
tables. Useful for debugging.
-
Arguments:
-
message
- the message to print
-
fireEvent
( locator,eventName )
-
Explicitly
simulate an event, to trigger the corresponding "onevent"
handler.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator
-
eventName
- the event name, e.g. "focus" or "blur"
-
focus
( locator )
-
Move
the focus to the specified element; for example, if the element is
an input field, move the cursor to that field.
-
Arguments:
-
goBack
( )
-
Simulates
the user clicking the "back" button on their browser.
-
highlight
( locator )
-
Briefly
changes the backgroundColor of the specified element yellow. Useful
for debugging.
-
Arguments:
-
ignoreAttributesWithoutValue
( ignore )
-
Specifies
whether Selenium will ignore xpath attributes that have no value,
i.e. are the empty string, when using the non-native xpath
evaluation engine. You'd want to do this for performance reasons in
IE. However, this could break certain xpaths, for example an xpath
that looks for an attribute whose value is NOT the empty string. The
hope is that such xpaths are relatively rare, but the user should
have the option of using them. Note that this only influences xpath
evaluation when using the ajaxslt engine (i.e. not
"javascript-xpath").
-
Arguments:
-
ignore
- boolean, true means we'll ignore attributes without value at the
expense of xpath "correctness"; false means we'll
sacrifice speed for correctness.
-
keyDown
( locator,keySequence )
-
Simulates
a user pressing a key (without releasing it yet).
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator
-
keySequence
- Either be a string("\" followed by the numeric keycode
of the key to be pressed, normally the ASCII value of that key), or
a single character. For example: "w", "\119".

Simulates
a user pressing and releasing a key.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator

-
Simulates
a user releasing a key.
-
Arguments:
-
locator

a user pressing the left mouse button (without releasing it yet) on
the specified element.
-
Arguments:
-

( locator,coordString )
-
Simulates
a user pressing the left mouse button (without releasing it yet) at
the specified location.
-
Arguments:
-
locator

the specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
mouseDownRightAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Simulates
a user pressing the right mouse button (without releasing it yet) at
the specified location.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
mouseMove
( locator )
-
Simulates
a user pressing the mouse button (without releasing it yet) on the
specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
mouseMoveAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Simulates
a user pressing the mouse button (without releasing it yet) on the
specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
mouseOut
( locator )
-
Simulates
a user moving the mouse pointer away from the specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
mouseOver
( locator )
-
Simulates
a user hovering a mouse over the specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
mouseUp
( locator )
-
Simulates
the event that occurs when the user releases the mouse button (i.e.,
stops holding the button down) on the specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
mouseUpAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Simulates
the event that occurs when the user releases the mouse button (i.e.,
stops holding the button down) at the specified location.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
mouseUpRight
( locator )
-
Simulates
the event that occurs when the user releases the right mouse button
(i.e., stops holding the button down) on the specified element.
-
Arguments:
-
mouseUpRightAt
( locator,coordString )
-
Simulates
the event that occurs when the user releases the right mouse button
(i.e., stops holding the button down) at the specified location.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator
-
coordString
- specifies the x,y position (i.e. - 10,20) of the mouse event
relative to the element returned by the locator.
-
open
( url )
-
Opens
an URL in the test frame. This accepts both relative and absolute
URLs. The "open" command waits for the page to load before
proceeding, ie. the "AndWait" suffix is implicit. Note:
The URL must be on the same domain as the runner HTML due to
security restrictions in the browser (Same Origin Policy). If you
need to open an URL on another domain, use the Selenium Server to
start a new browser session on that domain.
-
Arguments:
-
url
- the URL to open; may be relative or absolute
-
openWindow
( url,windowID )
-
Opens
a popup window (if a window with that ID isn't already open). After
opening the window, you'll need to select it using the selectWindow
command.
-
This
command can also be a useful workaround for bug SEL-339. In some
cases, Selenium will be unable to intercept a call to window.open
(if the call occurs during or before the "onLoad" event,
for example). In those cases, you can force Selenium to notice the
open window's name by using the Selenium openWindow command, using
an empty (blank) url, like this: openWindow("",
"myFunnyWindow").
-
Arguments:
-
url
- the URL to open, which can be blank
-
windowID
- the JavaScript window ID of the window to select
-
pause
( waitTime )
-
Wait
for the specified amount of time (in milliseconds)
-
Arguments:
-
waitTime
- the amount of time to sleep (in milliseconds)
-
refresh
( )
-
Simulates
the user clicking the "Refresh" button on their browser.
-
removeAllSelections
( locator )
-
Unselects
all of the selected options in a multi-select element.
-
Arguments:
-
removeScript
( scriptTagId )
-
Removes
a script tag from the Selenium document identified by the given id.
Does nothing if the referenced tag doesn't exist.
-
Arguments:
-
scriptTagId
- the id of the script element to remove.
-
removeSelection
( locator,optionLocator )
-
Remove
a selection from the set of selected options in a multi-select
element using an option locator. @see #doSelect for details of
option locators
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator identifying
a multi-select box
-
optionLocator
- an option locator (a label by default)
-
rollup
( rollupName,kwargs )
-
Executes
a command rollup, which is a series of commands with a unique name,
and optionally arguments that control the generation of the set of
commands. If any one of the rolled-up commands fails, the rollup is
considered to have failed. Rollups may also contain nested rollups.
-
Arguments:
-
rollupName
- the name of the rollup command
-
kwargs
- keyword arguments string that influences how the rollup expands
into commands
-
runScript
( script )
-
Creates
a new "script" tag in the body of the current test window,
and adds the specified text into the body of the command. Scripts
run in this way can often be debugged more easily than scripts
executed using Selenium's "getEval" command. Beware that
JS exceptions thrown in these script tags aren't managed by
Selenium, so you should probably wrap your script in try/catch
blocks if there is any chance that the script will throw an
exception.
-
Arguments:
-
script
- the JavaScript snippet to run
-
select
( selectLocator,optionLocator )
-
Select
an option from a drop-down using an option locator.
-
Option
locators provide different ways of specifying options of an HTML
Select element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for
asserting that the selected option satisfies a specification). There
are several forms of Select Option Locator.
-
label=labelPattern:
matches options based on their labels, i.e. the visible text. (This
is the default.)
- value=valuePattern:
matches options based on their values.
- id=id:
matches options based on their ids.
- index=index:
matches an option based on its index (offset from zero).
- If
no option locator prefix is provided, the default behaviour is to
match on label.
-
Arguments:
-
selectLocator
- an element
locator identifying
a drop-down menu
-
optionLocator
- an option locator (a label by default)
-
selectFrame
( locator )
-
Selects
a frame within the current window. (You may invoke this command
multiple times to select nested frames.) To select the parent frame,
use "relative=parent" as a locator; to select the top
frame, use "relative=top". You can also select a frame by
its 0-based index number; select the first frame with "index=0",
or the third frame with "index=2".
-
You
may also use a DOM expression to identify the frame you want
directly, like this:
dom=frames["main"].frames["subframe"]
-
Arguments:
-
selectPopUp
( windowID )
-
Simplifies
the process of selecting a popup window (and does not offer
functionality beyond what
selectWindow()
already
provides).
-
If
windowID
is
either not specified, or specified as "null", the first
non-top window is selected. The top window is the one that would be
selected by selectWindow()
without
providing a windowID
.
This should not be used when more than one popup window is in play.
-
Otherwise,
the window will be looked up considering
windowID
as
the following in order: 1) the "name" of the window, as
specified to window.open()
;
2) a javascript variable which is a reference to a window; and 3)
the title of the window. This is the same ordered lookup performed
by selectWindow
.
-
Arguments:
-
windowID
- an identifier for the popup window, which can take on a number of
different meanings
-
selectWindow
( windowID )
-
Selects
a popup window using a window locator; once a popup window has been
selected, all commands go to that window. To select the main window
again, use null as the target.
-
Window
locators provide different ways of specifying the window object: by
title, by internal JavaScript "name," or by JavaScript
variable.
-
title=My
Special Window:
Finds the window using the text that appears in the title bar. Be
careful; two windows can share the same title. If that happens, this
locator will just pick one.
-
name=myWindow:
Finds the window using its internal JavaScript "name"
property. This is the second parameter "windowName" passed
to the JavaScript method window.open(url, windowName,
windowFeatures, replaceFlag) (which Selenium intercepts).
-
var=variableName:
Some pop-up windows are unnamed (anonymous), but are associated with
a JavaScript variable name in the current application window, e.g.
"window.foo = window.open(url);". In those cases, you can
open the window using "var=foo".
-
If
no window locator prefix is provided, we'll try to guess what you
mean like this:
-
1.)
if windowID is null, (or the string "null") then it is
assumed the user is referring to the original window instantiated by
the browser).
-
2.)
if the value of the "windowID" parameter is a JavaScript
variable name in the current application window, then it is assumed
that this variable contains the return value from a call to the
JavaScript window.open() method.
-
3.)
Otherwise, selenium looks in a hash it maintains that maps string
names to window "names".
-
4.)
If that fails,
we'll try looping over all of the known windows to try to find the
appropriate "title". Since "title" is not
necessarily unique, this may have unexpected behavior.
-
If
you're having trouble figuring out the name of a window that you
want to manipulate, look at the Selenium log messages which identify
the names of windows created via window.open (and therefore
intercepted by Selenium). You will see messages like the following
for each window as it is opened:
-
debug:
window.open call intercepted; window ID (which you can use with
selectWindow()) is "myNewWindow"
-
In
some cases, Selenium will be unable to intercept a call to
window.open (if the call occurs during or before the "onLoad"
event, for example). (This is bug SEL-339.) In those cases, you can
force Selenium to notice the open window's name by using the
Selenium openWindow command, using an empty (blank) url, like this:
openWindow("", "myFunnyWindow").
-
Arguments:
-
windowID
- the JavaScript window ID of the window to select
-
setBrowserLogLevel
( logLevel )
-
Sets
the threshold for browser-side logging messages; log messages
beneath this threshold will be discarded. Valid logLevel strings
are: "debug", "info", "warn", "error"
or "off". To see the browser logs, you need to either show
the log window in GUI mode, or enable browser-side logging in
Selenium RC.
-
Arguments:
-
logLevel
- one of the following: "debug", "info", "warn",
"error" or "off"
-
setCursorPosition
( locator,position )
-
Moves
the text cursor to the specified position in the given input element
or textarea. This method will fail if the specified element isn't an
input element or textarea.
-
Arguments:
-
locator
- an element
locator pointing
to an input element or textarea
-
position
- the numerical position of the cursor in the field; position should
be 0 to move the position to the beginning of the field. You can
also set the cursor to -1 to move it to the end of the field.
-
setMouseSpeed
( pixels )
-
Configure
the number of pixels between "mousemove" events during
dragAndDrop commands (default=10).
-
Setting
this value to 0 means that we'll send a "mousemove" event
to every single pixel in between the start location and the end
location; that can be very slow, and may cause some browsers to
force the JavaScript to timeout.
-
If
the mouse speed is greater than the distance between the two dragged
objects, we'll just send one "mousemove" at the start
location and then one final one at the end location.
-
Arguments:
-
pixels
- the number of pixels between "mousemove" events
-
setSpeed
( value )
-
Set
execution speed (i.e., set the millisecond length of a delay which
will follow each selenium operation). By default, there is no such
delay, i.e., the delay is 0 milliseconds.
-
Arguments:
-
value
- the number of milliseconds to pause after operation
-
setTimeout
( timeout )
-
Specifies
the amount of time that Selenium will wait for actions to complete.
-
Actions
that require waiting include "open" and the "waitFor*"
actions.
-
The
default timeout is 30 seconds.
-
Arguments:
-
timeout
- a timeout in milliseconds, after which the action will return with
an error
-
shiftKeyDown
( )
-
Press
the shift key and hold it down until doShiftUp() is called or a new
page is loaded.
-
shiftKeyUp
( )
-
Release
the shift key.
-
store
( expression,variableName )
-
This
command is a synonym for storeExpression.
-
Arguments:
-
expression
- the value to store
-
variableName
- the name of a variable in
which the result is to be stored.
-
submit
( formLocator )
-
Submit
the specified form. This is particularly useful for forms without
submit buttons, e.g. single-input "Search" forms.
-
Arguments:
-
type
( locator,value )
-
Sets
the value of an input field, as though you typed it in.
-
Can
also be used to set the value of combo boxes, check boxes, etc. In
these cases, value should be the value of the option selected, not
the visible text.
-
Arguments:
-
typeKeys
( locator,value )
-
Simulates
keystroke events on the specified element, as though you typed the
value key-by-key.
-
This
is a convenience method for calling keyDown, keyUp, keyPress for
every character in the specified string; this is useful for dynamic
UI widgets (like auto-completing combo boxes) that require explicit
key events.
-
Unlike
the simple "type" command, which forces the specified
value into the page directly, this command may or may not have any
visible effect, even in cases where typing keys would normally have
a visible effect. For example, if you use "typeKeys" on a
form element, you may or may not see the results of what you typed
in the field.
-
In
some cases, you may need to use the simple "type" command
to set the value of the field and then the "typeKeys"
command to send the keystroke events corresponding to what you just
typed.
-
Arguments:
-
uncheck
( locator )
-
Uncheck
a toggle-button (checkbox/radio)
-
Arguments:
-
useXpathLibrary
( libraryName )
-
Allows
choice of one of the available libraries.
-
Arguments:
-
libraryName
- name of the desired library Only the following three can be
chosen:
-
"ajaxslt"
- Google's library
-
"javascript-xpath"
- Cybozu Labs' faster library
-
"default"
- The default library. Currently the default library is "ajaxslt"
.
- If
libraryName isn't one of these three, then no change will be made.
-
waitForCondition
( script,timeout )
-
Runs
the specified JavaScript snippet repeatedly until it evaluates to
"true". The snippet may have multiple lines, but only the
result of the last line will be considered.
-
Note
that, by default, the snippet will be run in the runner's test
window, not in the window of your application. To get the window of
your application, you can use the JavaScript
snippet
selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()
,
and then run your JavaScript in there -
Arguments:
-
script
- the JavaScript snippet to run
-
timeout
- a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command will return
with an error
-
waitForFrameToLoad
( frameAddress,timeout )
-
Waits
for a new frame to load.
-
Selenium
constantly keeps track of new pages and frames loading, and sets a
"newPageLoaded" flag when it first notices a page load.
-
See
waitForPageToLoad for more information.
-
Arguments:
-
frameAddress
- FrameAddress from the server side
-
timeout
- a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command will return
with an error
-
waitForPageToLoad
( timeout )
-
Waits
for a new page to load.
-
You
can use this command instead of the "AndWait" suffixes,
"clickAndWait", "selectAndWait", "typeAndWait"
etc. (which are only available in the JS API).
-
Selenium
constantly keeps track of new pages loading, and sets a
"newPageLoaded" flag when it first notices a page load.
Running any other Selenium command after turns the flag to false.
Hence, if you want to wait for a page to load, you must wait
immediately after a Selenium command that caused a page-load.
-
Arguments:
-
timeout
- a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command will return
with an error
-
waitForPopUp
( windowID,timeout )
-
Waits
for a popup window to appear and load up.
-
Arguments:
-
windowID
- the JavaScript window "name" of the window that will
appear (not the text of the title bar) If unspecified, or specified
as "null", this command will wait for the first non-top
window to appear (don't rely on this if you are working with
multiple popups simultaneously).
-
timeout
- a timeout in milliseconds, after which the action will return with
an error. If this value is not specified, the default Selenium
timeout will be used. See the setTimeout() command.
-
windowFocus
( )
-
Gives
focus to the currently selected window
-
windowMaximize
( )
-
Resize
currently selected window to take up the entire screen
