I have been assigned the task of automating a web based task ( for a HTTPS website). The users currently are filling in the Excel sheet with the data, they now want to automate excel in such a way that it directly controls the browser and fills in the data. I found the iMacros Scripting edition as a possible solution for doing this, I wanted to know if there are any other similar tools which can be used for controlling the browser and filling in data. I also had a look at the Selenium Client Driver, but I am not sure on how to use it in Excel VBA. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, You can

I'm trying the -browserSessionReuse Selenium mode to speed up my tests but i've noticed a strange behaviour. The purpose of this mode is avoid the time wasted opening browsers between tests, and this is how it works. But not always, if i run tests continuously they are run in the same browser, correct. But if between each test run pass some minutes, it will forget it has an already opened browser and it opens a new one. I suppose there is a timeout to discard the "old" browser, but i don't understand why. Is there anyway to avoid this issue? (tested with Selenium1 and Selenium2) Thanks in

Here's the situation that I'm working with: Build tests in Selenium Get all the tests running correctly (in Firefox) Export all the tests to MSTest (so that each test can be run in IE, Chrome and FF) If any test needs to be modified, do that editing in Selenium IDE So it's a very one-way workflow. However, I'd now like to do a bit more automation. For instance, I'd like every test to run under each of two accounts. I'm getting into a maintenance issue. If I have 6 tests that I want to run under two accounts, suddenly I'd need 12 tests in the Selenium IDE tests. That's too much editing. But a

In one of my Selenium test cases, I try to ensure that certain pages can't be accessed. Instead, HTTP return code 403 should be given. However, here Selenium terminates test execution with the following exception: com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: XHR ERROR: URL = http://user:password@www.example.com/admin Response_Code = 403 Error_Message = Forbidden Any way to work around that? Seems like I have to answer the question myself... I now surround the "open" call with a try...catch block. There, I parse the exception message if it contains the 403 code and XHR ERROR. Seems to me not

Has anyone been successful with getting Selenium to issue a mouse click on an element which is not associated with input, i.e. plain text ? I have tried using click() and click_at() methods, as well as fire_event(locator, event), where 'event' is 'onclick', or by using combination of 'onmousedown' and 'onmouseup' events. I have also tried preceding these events with an 'onmouseover' event. In my app, clicking on this 'plain text' triggers a call to a flash.swf routine. Thanks. Have you tried adapting a Mouse Listener? In case you are extending Selenium using Java, here is a quick tutorial.
