  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string addSelection (string $locator, string $optionLocator)
  • string $locator: an element locator identifying a multi-select box
  • string $optionLocator: an option locator (a label by default)
answerOnNextPrompt (line 485)

Instructs Selenium to return the specified answer string in response to the next JavaScript prompt [window.prompt()].

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string answerOnNextPrompt (string $answer)

Check a toggle-button (checkbox/radio)

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string check (string $locator)
  • string $locator: an element locator
chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation (line 470)

By default, Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will return true, as if the user had manually clicked OK. After running this command, the next call to confirm() will return false, as if the user had clicked Cancel.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation ()
click (line 177)

Clicks on a link, button, checkbox or radio button. If the click action cause a new page to load (like a link usually does), call waitForPageToLoad.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string click (string $locator)
  • string $locator: an element locator
close (line 525)

Simulates the user clicking the "close" button" in the titlebar of a popup window or tab.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string close ()
fireEvent (line 193)

Explicitly simulate an event, to trigger the corresponding "on<em>event</em>" handler

  • string $locator: an element locator
  • string $eventName: the event name, e.g. "focus" or "blur"
getAlert (line 586)

Retrieves the message of a JavaScript alert generated during the previous action, or fail if there were no alerts.

Getting an alert has the same effect as manually clicking OK. If an alert is generated but you do not get/verify it, the next Selenium action will fail. NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript alerts will NOT pop up a visible alert dialog. NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript alerts that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks OK.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getAlert ()
getAllButtons (line 986)

Returns the IDs of all buttons on the page.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
array getAllButtons ()

getAllLinks (line 1000)

Returns the IDs of all links on the page.

If a given link has no ID, it will appear as "" in the array.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
array getAllLinks ()
getAttribute (line 911)

Gets the value of an element attribute

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception

getBodyText (line 672)

Gets the entire text of the page.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getBodyText ()
getConfirmation (line 610)

Retrieves the message of a JavaScript confirmation dialog generated during the previous action.

By default, the confirm function will return true, having the same effect as manually clicking OK. This can be changed by prior execution of the chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation command. If an confirmation is generated but you do not get/verify it, the next Selenium action will fail. NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript confirmations will NOT pop up a visible dialog. NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript confirmations that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until you manually click OK.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getConfirmation ()
getCursorPosition (line 1063)

Retrieves the text cursor position in the given input element or textarea; beware, this may not work perfectly on all browsers.

Specifically, if the cursor/selection has been cleared by JavaScript, this command will tend to return the position of the last location of the cursor, even though the cursor is now gone from the page. This is filed as SEL-243. This method will fail if the specified element isn't an input element or textarea, or there is no cursor in the element.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getCursorPosition (string $locator)
  • string $locator: an element locator poiting to an input element or textarea
getEval (line 728)

Gets the result of evaluating the specified JavaScript snippet. The snippet may have multiple lines, but only the result of the last line will be returned.

Note that, by default, the snippet will run in the context of the "selenium" object itself, so <tt>this</tt> will refer to the Selenium object, and <tt>window</tt> will refer to the top-level runner test window, not the window of your application. If you need a reference to the window of your application, you can refer to <tt>this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()</tt> and if you need to use a locator to refer to a single element in your application page, you can use <tt>this.page().findElement("foo")</tt> where "foo" is your locator.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getEval ( $script, string $locator)
  • string $locator: an element locator

  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getExpression (string $expression)
  • string $expression: the value to return
getHtmlSource (line 1028)

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getHtmlSource ()
getLocation (line 646)

Gets the absolute URL of the current page.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string getLocation ()
getPrompt (line 633)

Retrieves the message of a JavaScript question prompt dialog generated during the previous action.

Successful handling of the prompt requires prior execution of the answerOnNextPrompt command. If a prompt is generated but you do not get/verify it, the next Selenium action will fail. NOTE: under Selenium, JavaScript prompts will NOT pop up a visible dialog. NOTE: Selenium does NOT support JavaScript prompts that are generated in a page's onload() event handler. In this case a visible dialog WILL be generated and Selenium will hang until someone manually clicks OK

select (line 352)

Select an option from a drop-down using an option locator.

Option locators provide different ways of specifying options of an HTML Select element (e.g. for selecting a specific option, or for asserting that the selected option satisfies a specification). There are several forms of Select Option Locator.

label=<em>labelPattern</em>:: matches options based on their labels, i.e. the visible text. (This is the default.) label=regexp:^[Oo]ther

value=<em>valuePattern</em>:: matches options based on their values. value=other

id=<em>id</em>:: matches options based on their ids. id=option1

index=<em>index</em>:: matches an option based on its index (offset from zero). index=2

If no option locator prefix is provided, the default behaviour is to match on label.

  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string selectWindow (string $windowId)
  • string $windowId: the JavaScript window ID of the window to select
setContext (line 1084)

Writes a message to the status bar and adds a note to the browser-side log.

If logLevelThreshold is specified, set the threshold for logging to that level (debug, info, warn, error). (Note that the browser-side logs will <em>not</em> be sent back to the server, and are invisible to the Client Driver.)

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string setContext (string $context, string $logLevelThreashould)
  • string $context: the message to be sent to the browser
  • string $logLevelThreashould: one of "debug", "info", "warn" , "error", sets the thrshould for browser-side logging
setCursorPosition (line 1046)

Moves the text cursor to the specified position in the given input element or textarea.

This method will fail if the specified element isn't an input element or textarea

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string setCursorPosition (string $locator, int $position)
  • string $locator: an element locator pointing to an input element or textarea
  • int $position: the numerical position of the cursor in the field; position should be 0 to move the position to the beginning of the field. You can also set the cursor to -1 to move it to the endo of the field.
setDriver (line 130)

Set driver for HTTP Request.

  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
void setDriver (string $driver)
  • string $driver
setTimeout (line 1141)

Specifies the amount of time that Selenium will wait for actions to complete.

Actions that require waiting include "open" and the "waitFor*" actions. The default timeout is 30 seconds.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string setTimeout (int $timeout)
  • int $timeout: in milliseconds, after which the action will return with an error
start (line 147)

Run the browser and set session id.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string start ()
stop (line 161)

Close the browser and set session id null

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string stop ()
submit (line 397)

Submit the specified form. This is particularly useful for forms without submit buttons, e.g. single-input "Search" forms.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string submit (string $locator)
  • string $locator: an element locator
type (line 285)

Set the value of an input field, as though you typed it in.

can also be used to set the value of combo boxes, check boxes, etc. In these cases, value should be the value of the option selected, not the visible text.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string type (string $locator, string $value)
  • string $locator: an element locator

  • string $locator: an element locator
waitForCondition (line 1122)

Runs the specified JavaScript snippet repeatedly until it evaluates to "true".

The snippet may have multiple lines, but only the result of the last line will be considered. Note that, by default, the snippet will be run in the runner's test window, not in the window of your application. To get the window of your application, you can use the JavaScript snippet <tt>selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()</tt>, and then run your JavaScript in there

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string waitForCondition (string $script, [int $timeout = null])
  • string $script: the JavaScript snippet to run
  • int $timeout: in milliseconds, after which this command will return with an error
waitForPageToLoad (line 1162)

Waits for a new page to load.

You can use this command instead of the "AndWait" suffixes, "clickAndWait", "selectAndWait", "typeAndWait" etc. (which are only available in the JS API). Selenium constantly keeps track of new pages loading, and sets a "newPageLoaded" flag when it first notices a page load. Running any other Selenium command after turns the flag to false. Hence, if you want to wait for a page to load, you must wait immediately after a Selenium command that caused a page-load.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string waitForPageToLoad ([string $timeout = null])
  • string $timeout: a timeout in milliseconds, after which this command will return with an error
waitForPopUp (line 451)

Wait for a popup window to appear and load up.

  • return: on success, error object on failure
  • access: public
  • throws: Selenium_Exception
string waitForPopUp (string $windowId, [int $timeout = null])
  • string $windowId: the JavaScript window ID of the window to select
  • int $timeout: a timeout in milliseconds, after which the action will return with an error
