Set up a graphical workflow, simulate human interaction using your browser of choice, and replay as often as you wish — without writing a single line of code. The Selenium Nodes are your tools for … Web scraping — GET or POST? Cookies, headers, authentication? Web crawling and data extraction is a pain, especially on JavaScript-based sites. With the Selenium Nodes you have the power of a full-blown browser combined with KNIME’s processing and data mining capabilities. Task automation — Time is precious and repetitive tasks are repetitive are repetitive are repetitive. Bored of doing the same stupid work within your browser over and over again? Set up a workflow once, execute it as often as necessary. Application testing — Develop tests for your web apps as graphical workflows. Dynamic and JavaScript-heavy applications? No problem! Execute your tests and create extensive reports of your results using KNIME’s reporting and statistics functionalities. Selenium Nodes are based on the Selenium WebDriver framework and support all major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge, Safari, Opera. If your computer can run it, you can most likely use it with the Selenium Nodes. You can run headless Chrome and Firefox in batch and KNIME Server environments or use remote services such as BrowserStack to run your browser in the cloud. Download — The trial version allows you to test the entire functionality one month free of charge! Request your trial key below and then follow the download instructions. What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. Getting Started. Selenium WebDriver. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. Selenium IDE. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. Selenium Grid. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point, making it easy to run the tests against a vast combination of browsers/OS, then you want to use Selenium Grid. Which is the selenium latest version? Selenium started with version 1 and now version 3 is the currently the latest released version available in the market. Let’s has a comparative study of the different features of each of the version. Selenium 1 or RC: As name suggest, RC is a Remote Control which works by taking the remote of the browser and then injects the automation code to be tested by injecting the custom scripts written. Selenium 2 or Web driver: The Web Driver (known as Selenium 2) works on the browser directly and uses browsers in-built features to trigger the automation test written by tester. Web driver is the successor of Remote Control. Selenium 3 is the latest version of Selenium by far which got released in 2016. Browser vendors independently provide client browsers. Selenium RC is ruled out from Selenium 3. In selenium 3, the latest version till date is 3.141.59 . Selenium 3.X is no longer capable of running Selenium RC directly; rather it does it through emulation and the WebDriverBackedSelenium interface. Introduction. SeleniumLibrary is a web testing library for Robot Framework that utilizes the Selenium tool internally. The project is hosted on GitHub and downloads can be found from PyPI. SeleniumLibrary works with Selenium 3 and 4. It supports Python 3.6 or newer. In addition to the normal Python interpreter, it works also with PyPy. SeleniumLibrary is based on the old SeleniumLibrary that was forked to Selenium2Library and then later renamed back to SeleniumLibrary. See the Versions and History sections below for more information about different versions and the overall project history. Keyword Documentation. See keyword documentation for available keywords and more information about the library in general. Installation. The recommended installation method is using pip: Running this command installs also the latest Selenium and Robot Framework versions, but you still need to install browser drivers separately. The --upgrade option can be omitted when installing the library for the first time. Those migrating from Selenium2Library can install SeleniumLibrary so that it is exposed also as Selenium2Library: The above command installs the normal SeleniumLibrary as well as a new Selenium2Library version that is just a thin wrapper to SeleniumLibrary. That allows importing Selenium2Library in tests while migrating to SeleniumLibrary. To install the last legacy Selenium2Library version, use this command instead: With resent versions of pip it is possible to install directly from the GitHub repository. To install latest source from the master branch, use this command: Please note that installation will take some time, because pip will clone the SeleniumLibrary project to a temporary directory and then perform the installation. See Robot Framework installation instructions for detailed information about installing Python and Robot Framework itself. For more details about using pip see its own documentation. Browser drivers. After installing the library, you still need to install browser and operating system specific browser drivers for all those browsers you want to use in tests. These are the exact same drivers you need to use with Selenium also when not using SeleniumLibrary. More information about drivers can be found from Selenium documentation. The general approach to install a browser driver is downloading a right driver, such as chromedriver for Chrome, and placing it into a directory that is in PATH. Drivers for different browsers can be found via Selenium documentation or by using your favorite search engine with a search term like selenium chrome browser driver . New browser driver versions are released to support features in new browsers, fix bug, or otherwise, and you need to keep an eye on them to know when to update drivers you use. Alternatively, you can use a tool called WebdriverManager which can find the latest version or when required, any version of appropriate webdrivers for you and then download and link/copy it into right location. Tool can run on all major operating systems and supports downloading of Chrome, Firefox, Opera & Edge webdrivers. Here's an example: Usage. To use SeleniumLibrary in Robot Framework tests, the library needs to first be imported using the Library setting as any other library. The library accepts some import time arguments, which are documented in the keyword documentation along with all the keywords provided by the library. When using Robot Framework, it is generally recommended to write as easy-to-understand tests as possible. The keywords provided by SeleniumLibrary is pretty low level, though, and often require implementation-specific arguments like element locators to be passed as arguments. It is thus typically a good idea to write tests using Robot Framework's higher-level keywords that utilize SeleniumLibrary keywords internally. This is illustrated by the following example where SeleniumLibrary keywords like Input Text are primarily used by higher-level keywords like Input Username . The above example is a slightly modified version of an example in a demo project that illustrates using Robot Framework and SeleniumLibrary. See the demo for more examples that you can also execute on your own machine. For more information about Robot Framework test data syntax in general see the Robot Framework User Guide. Extending SeleniumLibrary. Before creating your own library which extends the SeleniumLibrary , please consider would the extension be also useful also for general usage. If it could be useful also for general usage, please create a new issue describing the enhancement request and even better if the issue is backed up by a pull request. If the enhancement is not generally useful, example solution is domain specific, then the SeleniumLibrary offers public APIs which can be used to build its own plugins and libraries. Plugin API allows us to add new keywords, modify existing keywords and modify the internal functionality of the library. Also new libraries can be built on top of the SeleniumLibrary. Please see extending documentation for more details about the available methods and for examples how the library can be extended. Community. If the provided documentation is not enough, there are various community channels available: #seleniumlibrary and #seleniumlibrary-dev channels in Robot Framework Slack community. Robot Framework forum has channel for SeleniumLibrary. SeleniumLibrary issue tracker for bug reports and concrete enhancement requests. Versions.
