Collection of Powershell scripts and modules for work with Selenium C# Client

Common functionality is in the modules page_navigation_common.psm1 and selenium_common.psm1 Powershell uses C# Selenium Client API library and a few of standard asemblies which are stored in the location $env:SHARED_ASSEMBLIES_PATH (default is C:\developer\sergueik\csharp\sharedassemblies):

	log4net.dll
	nunit.core.dll
	nunit.framework.dll
	nunit.mocks.dll
	pnunit.framework.dll
	WebDriver.dll
	WebDriver.Support.dll

The Selenium JARs are supposed to be installed under c:\java\selenium: chromedriver.exe hub.cmd hub.json hub.log4j.properties log4j-1.2.17.jar node.cmd node.json node.log4j.properties node.xml selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar

The standard Java applications are all supposed to be installed under c:\java:

	c:\java\apache-maven-3.3.3
	c:\java\groovy-2.4.4
	c:\java\jdk1.7.0_79
	c:\java\jre7
	c:\java\selenium

The phantomjs is supposed to be installed under C:\tools\phantomjs-2.0.0\bin.

The Java applications and framework versions need to be updated in hub.cmd, node.cmd e.g.

set SELENIUM_VERSION=2.47.1
set GROOVY_VERSION=2.4.4
set JAVA_VERSION=1.7.0_79
set MAVEN_VERSION=3.3.3
set JAVA_HOME=c:\java\jdk%JAVA_VERSION%
set GROOVY_HOME=c:\java\groovy-%GROOVY_VERSION%

Alternatively the test script can provide

[string]$hub_host
[string]$hub_port
[bool]$use_remote_drive

when the test script provides the grid switch but does not specify $hub_host, the Selenium hub and node are launched locally on port 4444.

To run a Selenium test in Powershell, start with the following script:

param(
  [string]$browser = '',
  [string]$base_url = 'https://www.indiegogo.com/explore#',
  [switch]$grid,
  [switch]$pause
)

$MODULE_NAME = 'selenium_utils.psd1'
Import-Module -Name ('{0}/{1}' -f '.',$MODULE_NAME)
if ([bool]$PSBoundParameters['grid'].IsPresent) {
  $selenium = launch_selenium -browser $browser -grid
} else {
  $selenium = launch_selenium -browser $browser
}
$selenium.Navigate().GoToUrl($base_url)


# Cleanup
cleanup ([ref]$selenium)

Run the script with the option:

. ./test_script -browser chrome

There is over 50 Standalone scripts illustrating varios Selenium-related tasks in a problem-solution fashion.

Usage:

  $browser_name = 'chrome'
  $MODULE_NAME = 'selenium_utils.psd1'
  Import-Module -Name ('{0}/{1}' -f '.',$MODULE_NAME)
  $selenium = launch_selenium -browser $browser_name

Note:

Older scripts contain the same functionality inline. There are few scripts that still do, for some reason.
