What's the basic difference between Selenium RC and WebDriver ? Ripon Al Wasim Quoting from WebDriver and Selenium RC : Selenium-WebDriver makes direct calls to the browser using each browser’s native support for automation. How these direct calls are made, and the features they support depends on the browser you are using. Information on each ‘browser driver’ is provided later in this chapter. For those familiar with Selenium-RC, this is quite different from what you are used to. Selenium-RC worked the same way for each supported browser. It ‘injected’ javascript functions into the browser

How to get the HTTP status code in Selenium? E.g. so I can test that if the browser requests /user/27 and no user with ID=27 exists, an HTTP 404 is returned? My primary interest is Selenium RC, but if someone knows the answer for "normal" selenium, I can probably easily translate it into RC. /Pete AutomatedTester This might not be the best use of Selenium for this type of test. There is unnecessary need to load a browser when you could do and have a faster running test [Test] [ExpectedException(typeof(WebException), UserMessage = "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found")] public

I am attempting to run a JUnit Test from a Java Class with: JUnitCore core = new JUnitCore(); core.addListener(new RunListener()); core.run(classToRun); Problem is my JUnit test requires a database connection that is currently hardcoded in the JUnit test itself. What I am looking for is a way to run the JUnit test programmatically(above) but pass a database connection to it that I create in my Java Class that runs the test, and not hardcoded within the JUnit class. Basically something like JUnitCore core = new JUnitCore(); core.addListener(new RunListener()); core.addParameters(java.sql

As part of my selenium test for a login function, I would like to click a button by identifying its coordinates, and instructing selenium to click at those coordinates. This would be done without actually identifying the element itself (via id, xpath, etc). I understand there are other more efficient ways to run a click command, but I'm looking to specifically use this approach to best match the user experience. Thanks. Selenium won't let you do this. There is a way to do this. Using the ActionChains API you can move the mouse over an element, adjust by some offset (relative to the middle of

I can see that since selenium 2.0, WebDriver and Selenium RC are packaged together for download. Now I primarily use WebDriver, but can I bring in Selenium RC in my testing scripts from now and then? Is there anything that Selenium RC is capable of but WebDriver is not, or vice versa? pnewhook You should probably start your research here (though you may have already gone over this): http://seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.html I'll assume you're contrasting Selenium-RC to WebDriver, Selenium-IDE really isn't in the same ballpark. Selenium uses JavaScript to automate web pages. This lets it

Is there a way to capture errors occurring in the DOM in Selenium and probably flag the same as an error in the page? To give a brief example, let's say I'm trying to bind an event on a non-existing HTML control, my browser throws an error saying: element abcd not found in the console. Now, if I want the same error to fail my selenium tests and the message that is shown on the browser is shown as the error message. Is it possible to do something like this? jhanifen Put this script on your page and then check in Selenium for the JSError: <script type="text/javascript"> window.onerror=function
