Alien::SeleniumRC(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Alien::SeleniumRC(3)NAMEAlien::SeleniumRC - Packages the Selenium Remote Control server.
SYNOPSIS
use Alien::SeleniumRC;
Alien::SeleniumRC::start();
DESCRIPTION
The Selenium RC home page is at http://openqa.org/selenium-rc
<http://openqa.org/selenium-rc>
Selenium Remote Control is a test tool that allows you to write
automated web application UI tests in any programming language against
any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.
Selenium Remote Control provides a Selenium Server, which can
automatically start/stop/control any supported browser. It works by
using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated
tasks in JavaScript.
METHODS
"start"
This method launches the Selenium RC server bundled in this package.
This call will block until the server is killed.
The first argument passed to start() will be passed to
selenium-server.jar as a command line argument.
"help"
Prints the selenium-server.jar usage.
UPDATING SELENIUM-SERVER.JAR
A copy of "selenium-server.jar" is installed in the "Alien::SeleniumRC"
module directory. The Selenium RC version in this distribution is
Version 1.0.3, released 24 Feb 2010.
To update your local copy, download SeleniumRC from
<http://seleniumhq.org/download/> and extract the file
"selenium-server.jar". Copy it to the Alien::SeleniumRC module
directory. On most systems, you can find that path by typing
perldoc -lAlien::SeleniumRCENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Previous versions of Alien::SeleniumRC used "sudo" to launch the Java
process using "StartupItemContext" when running under any version of
Mac OSX. Running "sudo" in the middle of automated test suites can be
problematic and not alwasy required so from 1.01 on this is no longer
the default behaviour.
To get the old behaviour back, set the environment variable
"SELENIUMRC_USE_SIC" to a true value before calling "start".
