Selenium 2 (WebDriver) and Phpunit?

Question

Any one know how to use Selenium 2 with Phpunit? Are there any Selenium 2 samples in PHP?

Answer 1

please look at the http://code.google.com/p/php-webdriver-bindings/ . This is PHP library that communicates with Selenium Webdriver server using JsonWireProtocol. This is early version but it works.

Answer 2

I work on selenium2php. I have too many tests for Selenium1 recorded with Selenium IDE. Now it converts html tests into Selenium2. Actually, for PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase. I am going to implement more commands.

I recommened the usage of Menta, a Selenium 2 Framework which requires WebDriver. Both packages are PSR-0 compatible, so you can use them with Composer. You can configure selenium with the phpunit.xml. Here an example

<phpunit bootstrap="tests/bootstrap.php"
         backupGlobals="false" backupStaticAttributes="false"
         strict="true" verbose="true">
    <php>
        <var name="testing.selenium.seleniumServerUrl" value="http://localhost:4444/wd/hub" />
        <var name="testing.selenium.browser" value="firefox" />
        <var name="testing.selenium.windowPosition" value="0,0" />
        <var name="testing.selenium.windowSize" value="1280x1024" />
        <var name="testing.selenium.windowFocus" value="1" />
        <var name="testing.selenium.timeoutImplicitWait" value="10000" />
    </php>
    <testsuites>
        <testsuite name="Integrationstests">
            <directory suffix="Test.php" phpVersion="5.3.0" phpVersionOperator=">=">tests/integration</directory>
        </testsuite>
    </testsuites>
    <logging>
        <log type="junit" target="build/logs/junit.xml"/>
    </logging>
</phpunit>

The bootstrap file reads the configuration variables from testing.selenium.*, so you can easily set new variables.

<?php

\Menta_ConfigurationPhpUnitVars::addConfigurationFile(__DIR__ . '/../phpunit.xml');

$configuration = \Menta_ConfigurationPhpUnitVars::getInstance();
\Menta_SessionManager::init(
    $configuration->getValue('testing.selenium.seleniumServerUrl'),
    $configuration->getValue('testing.selenium.browser')
);

Now you can easily implement you testcases. Here an example

<?php

namespace tests\integration;

use WebDriver\LocatorStrategy;

class TestSearch extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function testGoogle()
    {
        $session = \Menta_SessionManager::getSession();
        $session->open('http://www.google.de');
        $element = $session->element(LocatorStrategy::NAME, 'q');
        $this->assertTrue($element->displayed());
    }
}

The Menta Package also have two demo files, located here

Yes, Selenium 2 (WebDriver) and PHPUnit tests is simple. But May I want to gave you advice that the first you should be try Selenium IDE because you need to expect in selenium command. If you are expect in Selenium command if so selenium 2 (Webdriver) and PHPUnit test will be more simple for you.

You can try selenium IDE tutorials on here and you can learn selenium 2 (Webdriver) and PHPUnit at here.

Answer 5

PHPUnit Selenium integration code lives as a separate project in github, as far as I can see it does not support Selenium 2, so the answer to your question would be - No, you can not use Selenium 2 with PHPUnit.

But you can clone the source tree and make it work with Selenium 2.

I wrote a tutorial about how to use Selenium 2, Facebook wrapper, find it here:
