| Version | Package Version | | ------------ | --------------- | | Laravel 5.6 | 2.0 | | Laravel 5.* | 1.0 | | PHP 7.1 | 2.0 |

Requirements:

2. You should have at least basic understanding of PHPUnit.

Installation guide:

Installing with Laravel Package Manager then you can install it by running given command ⇩ and Manager will take care to register selenium service provider.

php artisan add modelizer/selenium

Or you can do it by composer.

composer require modelizer/selenium "~2.0"

Register service provider in app.php

Modelizer\Selenium\SeleniumServiceProvider::class

Working with environment variables: You need to create sperate file testing.env in root directory to load testing specific variable. example

APP_URL=http://testing.dev:8000

Don't forget to clear laravel configuration cache file.

php artisan config:clear

We are done! Lets start the selenium server.

php artisan selenium:start

Create first test:

Via an Artisan command

php artisan selenium:make:test SeleniumExampleTest

Manually

1. Create a dummy SeleniumExampleTest.php file in tests directory.
2. Add this code to SeleniumExampleTest.php file and run phpunit vendor/bin/phpunit tests/SeleniumExampleTest.php

<?php

use Modelizer\Selenium\SeleniumTestCase;

class SeleniumExampleTest extends SeleniumTestCase
{
    /**
     * A basic functional test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testBasicExample()
    {
        // This is a sample code you can change as per your current scenario
        $this->visit('/')
             ->see('Laravel')
             ->hold(3);
    }

    /**
     * A basic submission test example.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function testLoginFormExample()
    {
        $loginInput = [
            'username' => 'dummy-name',
            'password' => 'dummy-password'
        ];

        // Login form test case scenario
        $this->visit('/login')
             ->submitForm('#login-form', $loginInput)
             ->see('Welcome');  // Expected Result
    }
}

Run the test cases

vendor/bin/steward run staging chrome

This package is been build on top of Steward for running test case with specific arguments you can check out Steward's Wiki

For full documentation you can checkout our API wiki. Which internally inherit facebook Web Driver so you can liverage full functionality of these dependency packages.

Notes:

1. Selenium 3.11.0 and ChromeDriver 2.35 is been used.
2. Feel free to contribute or create an issue.
3. The user will not be able to swap between PHPUnit and Selenium who are below Laravel 5.3.
4. We made changelog as release board and wiki.
5. If a virtual machine is being used such as VirtualBox (Vagrant, Homestead), a framebuffer is needed:

# install xvfb if needed:
sudo apt-get install xvfb

# run Xvfb
sudo nohup Xvfb :10 -ac

# Set DISPLAY environment variable
export DISPLAY=:10

Roadmap:

1. ~~Firefox support added.~~ (Note: Only work when user has installed firefox locally)
2. ~~Windows and Linux support needs to be added.~~
3. ~~Drivers files should get downloaded as per user-specific operating system.~~
4. Add more support for more API.
5. Support for multiple browser.
6. Behat integration if possible (research)
7. Support for 3rd party services such as saucelab.

Summary:

Many APIs such as see, wait, submitForm etc are been implemented in Laravel 5.3, and the whole goal of this package is to make it easier for the user to swap testing type anytime. Eg: If a user wants to test by selenium then he only need to extend Modelizer\Selenium\SeleniumTestCase in his test case or if he wants to do PHPUnit testing then he will be able to do it by extending TestCase which Laravel 5.3 provide by default. This will help the user to test a case in many different testing types without doing any changes with API.

Contribution:

1. If you like this package you can give it a star.
2. Help to keep readme up to date with some functionality which exist in this package but not visible to other.
3. Feel free to create PR or Issues or suggestion which can help this package to grow. Just do it. You are welcome :)
