NAME
Weasel::Session - Connection to an encapsulated test driver
VERSION
0.12
SYNOPSIS
use Weasel;
use Weasel::Session;
use Weasel::Driver::Selenium2;
my $weasel = Weasel->new(
default_session => 'default',
sessions => {
default => Weasel::Session->new(
driver => Weasel::Driver::Selenium2->new(%opts),
),
});
$weasel->session->get('http://localhost/index');
DESCRIPTION
DEPENDENCIES
ATTRIBUTES
driver
Holds a reference to the sessions's driver.
widget_groups
Contains the list of widget groups to be used with the session, or uses all groups
when undefined.
Note: this functionality allows one to load multiple groups into the running perl
instance, while using different groups in various sessions.
base_url
Holds the prefix that will be prepended to every URL passed to this API. The prefix
can be an environment variable, e.g. ${VARIABLE}. It will be expanded and default to
hppt://localhost:5000 if not defined. If it is not an environment variable, it will
be used as is.
page
Holds the root element of the target HTML page (the 'html' tag).
log_hook
Upon instantiation can be set to log consumer; a function of 3 arguments:
1. the name of the event
2. the text to be logged (or a coderef to be called without arguments returning such)
page_class
Upon instantiation can be set to an alternative class name for the "page" attribute.
retry_timeout
The number of seconds to poll for a condition to become true. Global setting for the
"wait_for" function.
poll_delay
The number of seconds to wait between state polling attempts. Global setting for the
"wait_for" function.
state
Holds one of
· initial
· started
· stopped
Before the first page is loaded into the browser, the value of the "state" property is
"initial". After the first "get" call, the value changes to "started".
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
clear($element)
Clears any input entered into elements supporting it. Generally applies to textarea
elements and input elements of type text and password.
click([$element])
Simulates a single mouse click. If an element argument is provided, that element is
clicked. Otherwise, the browser window is clicked at the current mouse location.
find($element, $locator [, scheme => $scheme] [, widget_args => \@args ] [,
%locator_args])
Finds the first child of $element matching $locator.
See Weasel::Element's "find" function for more documentation.
find_all($element, $locator, [, scheme => $scheme] [, widget_args => \@args ] [,
%locator_args ])
Finds all child elements of $element matching $locator. Returns, depending on scalar
or list context, an arrayref or a list with matching elements.
See Weasel::Element's "find_all" function for more documentation.
get($url)
Loads $url into the active browser window of the driver connection, after prefixing
with "base_url".
get_attribute($element, $attribute)
Returns the value of the attribute named by $attribute of the element identified by
$element, or "undef" if the attribute isn't defined.
get_text($element)
Returns the 'innerHTML' of the element identified by $element.
set_attribute($element_id, $attribute_name, $value)
DEPRECATED
Changes the value of the attribute named by $attribute_name to $value for the element
identified by $element_id.
get_selected($element_id)
DEPRECATED
Please use "$self-"get_attribute('selected')> instead.
set_selected($element_id, $value)
DEPRECATED
Please use "$self-"set_attribute('selected', $value)> instead.
is_displayed($element)
Returns a boolean value indicating if the element identified by $element is visible on
the page, i.e. that it can be scrolled into the viewport for interaction.
screenshot($fh)
Writes a screenshot of the browser's window to the filehandle $fh.
Note: this version assumes pictures of type PNG will be written;
later versions may provide a means to query the exact image type of
screenshots being generated.
start
Starts a new or stopped session.
Sets "state" back to the value "initial".
restart
Restarts a session by resetting it and starting.
Sets "state" back to the value "initial".
stop
started
Returns a "true" value when the session has been started.
get_page_source($fh)
Writes a get_page_source of the browser's window to the filehandle $fh.
send_keys($element, @keys)
Send the characters specified in the strings in @keys to $element, simulating keyboard
input.
tag_name($element)
Returns the tag name of the element identified by $element.
wait_for($callback, [ retry_timeout => $number,] [poll_delay => $number,] [ on_timeout =>
\&cb ])
Polls $callback->() until it returns true, or "wait_timeout" expires -- whichever
comes first.
The arguments retry_timeout and poll_delay can be used to override the session-global
settings.
_logged($wrapped_fn, $event, $log_item, $log_item_pre)
Invokes "log_hook" when it's defined, before and after calling $wrapped_fn with no
arguments, with the 'pre_' and 'post_' prefixes to the event name.
$log_item can be a fixed string or a function of one argument returning the string to
be logged. The argument passed into the function is the value returned by the
$wrapped_fn.
In case there is no $log_item_pre to be called on the 'pre_' event, $log_item will be
used instead, with no arguments.
For performance reasons, the $log_item and $log_item_pre - when coderefs - aren't
called; instead they are passed as-is to the $log_hook for lazy evaluation.
_wrap_widget($_id)
Finds all matching widget selectors to wrap the driver element in.
In case of multiple matches, selects the most specific match (the one with the highest
number of requirements).
