<summary> ▶️ How is <b>SeleniumBase</b> different from raw Selenium? (<b>click to expand</b>)</summary>
|
||
<div>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase is a Python framework for browser automation and testing. SeleniumBase uses <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver2/#endpoints" target="_blank">Selenium/WebDriver</a> APIs and incorporates test-runners such as <code translate="no">pytest</code>, <code translate="no">pynose</code>, and <code translate="no">behave</code> to provide organized structure, test discovery, test execution, test state (<i>eg. passed, failed, or skipped</i>), and command-line options for changing default settings (<i>eg. browser selection</i>). With raw Selenium, you would need to set up your own options-parser for configuring tests from the command-line.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase's driver manager gives you more control over automatic driver downloads. (Use <code translate="no">--driver-version=VER</code> with your <code translate="no">pytest</code> run command to specify the version.) By default, SeleniumBase will download a driver version that matches your major browser version if not set.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase automatically detects between CSS Selectors and XPath, which means you don't need to specify the type of selector in your commands (<i>but optionally you could</i>).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase methods often perform multiple actions in a single method call. For example, <code translate="no">self.type(selector, text)</code> does the following:<br />1. Waits for the element to be visible.<br />2. Waits for the element to be interactive.<br />3. Clears the text field.<br />4. Types in the new text.<br />5. Presses Enter/Submit if the text ends in <code translate="no">"\n"</code>.<br />With raw Selenium, those actions require multiple method calls.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase uses default timeout values when not set:<br />
|
||
✅ <code translate="no">self.click("button")</code><br />
|
||
With raw Selenium, methods would fail instantly (<i>by default</i>) if an element needed more time to load:<br />
|
||
❌ <code translate="no">self.driver.find_element(by="css selector", value="button").click()</code><br />
|
||
(Reliable code is better than unreliable code.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase lets you change the explicit timeout values of methods:<br />
|
||
✅ <code translate="no">self.click("button", timeout=10)</code><br />
|
||
With raw Selenium, that requires more code:<br />
|
||
❌ <code translate="no">WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable("css selector", "button")).click()</code><br />
|
||
(Simple code is better than complex code.)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase gives you clean error output when a test fails. With raw Selenium, error messages can get very messy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase gives you the option to generate a dashboard and reports for tests. It also saves screenshots from failing tests to the <code translate="no">./latest_logs/</code> folder. Raw <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" translate="no" target="_blank">Selenium</a> does not have these options out-of-the-box.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase includes desktop GUI apps for running tests, such as <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/commander.md" translate="no">SeleniumBase Commander</a> for <code translate="no">pytest</code> and <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/behave_bdd/ReadMe.md" translate="no">SeleniumBase Behave GUI</a> for <code translate="no">behave</code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase has its own <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/recorder_mode.md">Recorder / Test Generator</a> for creating tests from manual browser actions.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase comes with <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/case_plans.md">test case management software, ("CasePlans")</a>, for organizing tests and step descriptions.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>💡 SeleniumBase includes tools for <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/chart_maker/ReadMe.md">building data apps, ("ChartMaker")</a>, which can generate JavaScript from Python.</p>

<a id="fun_facts"></a>
|
||
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Fun Facts / Learn More:</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ SeleniumBase automatically handles common <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" target="_blank">WebDriver</a> actions such as launching web browsers before tests, saving screenshots during failures, and closing web browsers after tests.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ SeleniumBase lets you customize tests via <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/customizing_test_runs.md">command-line options</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ SeleniumBase uses simple syntax for commands. Example:</p>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.type("input", "dogs\n") # (The "\n" presses ENTER)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Most SeleniumBase scripts can be run with <code translate="no">pytest</code>, <code translate="no">pynose</code>, or pure <code translate="no">python</code>. Not all test runners can run all test formats. For example, tests that use the ``sb`` pytest fixture can only be run with ``pytest``. (See <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/syntax_formats.md">Syntax Formats</a>) There's also a <a href="https://behave.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gherkin.html#features" target="_blank">Gherkin</a> test format that runs with <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/behave_bdd/ReadMe.md">behave</a>.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest coffee_cart_tests.py --rs
|
||
pytest test_sb_fixture.py --demo
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --rs --html=report.html --dashboard
|
||
|
||
pynose basic_test.py --mobile
|
||
pynose test_suite.py --headless --report --show-report
|
||
|
||
python raw_sb.py
|
||
python raw_test_scripts.py
|
||
|
||
behave realworld.feature
|
||
behave calculator.feature -D rs -D dashboard
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ <code translate="no">pytest</code> includes automatic test discovery. If you don't specify a specific file or folder to run, <code translate="no">pytest</code> will automatically search through all subdirectories for tests to run based on the following criteria:</p>
|
||
|
||
* Python files that start with ``test_`` or end with ``_test.py``.
|
||
* Python methods that start with ``test_``.
|
||
|
||
With a SeleniumBase [pytest.ini](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/pytest.ini) file present, you can modify default discovery settings. The Python class name can be anything because ``seleniumbase.BaseCase`` inherits ``unittest.TestCase`` to trigger autodiscovery.
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ You can do a pre-flight check to see which tests would get discovered by <code translate="no">pytest</code> before the actual run:</p>
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest --co -q
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ You can be more specific when calling <code translate="no">pytest</code> or <code translate="no">pynose</code> on a file:</p>
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest [FILE_NAME.py]::[CLASS_NAME]::[METHOD_NAME]
|
||
|
||
pynose [FILE_NAME.py]:[CLASS_NAME].[METHOD_NAME]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ No More Flaky Tests! SeleniumBase methods automatically wait for page elements to finish loading before interacting with them (<i>up to a timeout limit</i>). This means <b>you no longer need random <span><code translate="no">time.sleep()</code></span> statements</b> in your scripts.</p>
|
||
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Flaky%20Tests%3F-%20NO%21-11BBDD.svg" alt="NO MORE FLAKY TESTS!" />
|
||
|
||
✅ SeleniumBase supports all major browsers and operating systems:
|
||
<p><b>Browsers:</b> Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.</p>
|
||
<p><b>Systems:</b> Linux/Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows.</p>
|

|
||
<p>✅ SeleniumBase includes an automated/manual hybrid solution called <b><a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/master_qa/ReadMe.md">MasterQA</a></b> to speed up manual testing with automation while manual testers handle validation.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>✅ SeleniumBase supports <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/tree/master/examples/offline_examples">running tests while offline</a> (<i>assuming webdrivers have previously been downloaded when online</i>).</p>

<a id="demo_mode_and_debugging"></a>
|
||
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Demo Mode / Debugging:</h2>
|
||
|
||
🔵 <b>Demo Mode</b> helps you see what a test is doing. If a test is moving too fast for your eyes, run it in <b>Demo Mode</b> to pause the browser briefly between actions, highlight page elements being acted on, and display assertions:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest my_first_test.py --demo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 ``time.sleep(seconds)`` can be used to make a test wait at a specific spot:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import time; time.sleep(3) # Do nothing for 3 seconds.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Debug Mode** with Python's built-in **[pdb](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html)** library helps you debug tests:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
|
||
import pytest; pytest.set_trace()
|
||
breakpoint() # Shortcut for "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> (**``pdb``** commands: ``n``, ``c``, ``s``, ``u``, ``d`` => ``next``, ``continue``, ``step``, ``up``, ``down``)
|
||
|
||
🔵 To pause an active test that throws an exception or error, (*and keep the browser window open while **Debug Mode** begins in the console*), add **``--pdb``** as a ``pytest`` option:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_fail.py --pdb
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 To start tests in Debug Mode, add **``--trace``** as a ``pytest`` option:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_coffee_cart.py --trace
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
<h2>🔵 Command-line Options:</h2>
|
||
|
||
<a id="pytest_options"></a>
|
||
✅ Here are some useful command-line options that come with <code translate="no">pytest</code>:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
-v # Verbose mode. Prints the full name of each test and shows more details.
|
||
-q # Quiet mode. Print fewer details in the console output when running tests.
|
||
-x # Stop running the tests after the first failure is reached.
|
||
--html=report.html # Creates a detailed pytest-html report after tests finish.
|
||
--co | --collect-only # Show what tests would get run. (Without running them)
|
||
--co -q # (Both options together!) - Do a dry run with full test names shown.
|
||
-n=NUM # Multithread the tests using that many threads. (Speed up test runs!)
|
||
-s # See print statements. (Should be on by default with pytest.ini present.)
|
||
--junit-xml=report.xml # Creates a junit-xml report after tests finish.
|
||
--pdb # If a test fails, enter Post Mortem Debug Mode. (Don't use with CI!)
|
||
--trace # Enter Debug Mode at the beginning of each test. (Don't use with CI!)
|
||
-m=MARKER # Run tests with the specified pytest marker.
|
||
```

For detailed examples of command-line options, see **[customizing_test_runs.md](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/customizing_test_runs.md)**)
|
||
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
🔵 During test failures, logs and screenshots from the most recent test run will get saved to the ``latest_logs/`` folder. Those logs will get moved to ``archived_logs/`` if you add --archive_logs to command-line options, or have ``ARCHIVE_EXISTING_LOGS`` set to True in [settings.py](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/seleniumbase/config/settings.py), otherwise log files with be cleaned up at the start of the next test run. The ``test_suite.py`` collection contains tests that fail on purpose so that you can see how logging works.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd examples/
|
||
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --chrome
|
||
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --firefox
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
An easy way to override seleniumbase/config/settings.py is by using a custom settings file.
|
||
Here's the command-line option to add to tests: (See [examples/custom_settings.py](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/custom_settings.py))
|
||
``--settings_file=custom_settings.py``
|
||
(Settings include default timeout values, a two-factor auth key, DB credentials, S3 credentials, and other important settings used by tests.)
|
||
|
||
🔵 To pass additional data from the command-line to tests, add ``--data="ANY STRING"``.
|
||
Inside your tests, you can use ``self.data`` to access that.
|
||
|
||
<a id="directory_configuration"></a>
|
||
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Directory Configuration:</h2>
|
||
|
||
🔵 When running tests with **``pytest``**, you'll want a copy of **[pytest.ini](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/pytest.ini)** in your root folders. When running tests with **``pynose``**, you'll want a copy of **[setup.cfg](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/setup.cfg)** in your root folders. These files specify default configuration details for tests. Test folders should also include a blank **[__init__.py](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/offline_examples/__init__.py)** file to allow your test files to import other files from that folder.
|
||
|
||
🔵 ``sbase mkdir DIR`` creates a folder with config files and sample tests:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sbase mkdir ui_tests
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> That new folder will have these files:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ui_tests/
|
||
├── __init__.py
|
||
├── my_first_test.py
|
||
├── parameterized_test.py
|
||
├── pytest.ini
|
||
├── requirements.txt
|
||
├── setup.cfg
|
||
├── test_demo_site.py
|
||
└── boilerplates/
|

|
||
├── google_test.py
|
||
├── sb_swag_test.py
|
||
└── swag_labs_test.py
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<b>ProTip™:</b> You can also create a boilerplate folder without any sample tests in it by adding ``-b`` or ``--basic`` to the ``sbase mkdir`` command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sbase mkdir ui_tests --basic
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> That new folder will have these files:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ui_tests/
|
||
├── __init__.py
|
||
├── pytest.ini
|
||
├── requirements.txt
|
||
└── setup.cfg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Of those files, the ``pytest.ini`` config file is the most important, followed by a blank ``__init__.py`` file. There's also a ``setup.cfg`` file (for pynose). Finally, the ``requirements.txt`` file can be used to help you install seleniumbase into your environments (if it's not already installed).

|
||
<h3><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Log files from failed tests:</h3>
|
||
|
||
Let's try an example of a test that fails:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
""" test_fail.py """
|
||
from seleniumbase import BaseCase
|
||
BaseCase.main(__name__, __file__)
|
||
|
||
class MyTestClass(BaseCase):
|
||
|
||
def test_find_army_of_robots_on_xkcd_desert_island(self):
|
||
self.open("https://xkcd.com/731/")
|
||
self.assert_element("div#ARMY_OF_ROBOTS", timeout=1) # This should fail
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can run it from the ``examples/`` folder like this:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_fail.py
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 You'll notice that a logs folder, "latest_logs", was created to hold information about the failing test, and screenshots. During test runs, past results get moved to the archived_logs folder if you have ARCHIVE_EXISTING_LOGS set to True in [settings.py](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/seleniumbase/config/settings.py), or if your run tests with ``--archive-logs``. If you choose not to archive existing logs, they will be deleted and replaced by the logs of the latest test run.

<a id="seleniumbase_dashboard"></a>
|
||
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> SeleniumBase Dashboard:</h2>
|
||
|
||
🔵 The ``--dashboard`` option for pytest generates a SeleniumBase Dashboard located at ``dashboard.html``, which updates automatically as tests run and produce results. Example:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest --dashboard --rs --headless
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/cdn/img/dashboard_1.png" alt="The SeleniumBase Dashboard" title="The SeleniumBase Dashboard" width="380" />
|
||
|
||
🔵 Additionally, you can host your own SeleniumBase Dashboard Server on a port of your choice. Here's an example of that using Python's ``http.server``:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python -m http.server 1948
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 Now you can navigate to ``http://localhost:1948/dashboard.html`` in order to view the dashboard as a web app. This requires two different terminal windows: one for running the server, and another for running the tests, which should be run from the same directory. (Use <kbd>Ctrl+C</kbd> to stop the http server.)
|
||
|
||
🔵 Here's a full example of what the SeleniumBase Dashboard may look like:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_suite.py test_image_saving.py --dashboard --rs --headless
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

<a id="creating_visual_reports"></a>
|
||
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Generating Test Reports:</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 <code>pytest</code> HTML Reports:</h3>
|
||
|
||
✅ Using ``--html=report.html`` gives you a fancy report of the name specified after your test suite completes.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --html=report.html
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/cdn/img/html_report.png" alt="Example Pytest Report" title="Example Pytest Report" width="520" />
|
||
|
||
✅ When combining pytest html reports with SeleniumBase Dashboard usage, the pie chart from the Dashboard will get added to the html report. Additionally, if you set the html report URL to be the same as the Dashboard URL when also using the dashboard, (example: ``--dashboard --html=dashboard.html``), then the Dashboard will become an advanced html report when all the tests complete.
|
||
|
||
✅ Here's an example of an upgraded html report:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --dashboard --html=report.html
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/cdn/img/dash_report.jpg" alt="Dashboard Pytest HTML Report" title="Dashboard Pytest HTML Report" width="520" />
|
||
|
||
If viewing pytest html reports in [Jenkins](https://www.jenkins.io/), you may need to [configure Jenkins settings](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46197356/7058266) for the html to render correctly. This is due to [Jenkins CSP changes](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/system-administration/security/configuring-content-security-policy/).
|
||
|
||
You can also use ``--junit-xml=report.xml`` to get an xml report instead. Jenkins can use this file to display better reporting for your tests.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --junit-xml=report.xml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 <code>pynose</code> Reports:</h3>
|
||
|
||
The ``--report`` option gives you a fancy report after your test suite completes.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pynose test_suite.py --report
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/cdn/img/nose_report.png" alt="Example pynose Report" title="Example pynose Report" width="320" />
|
||
|
||
(NOTE: You can add ``--show-report`` to immediately display pynose reports after the test suite completes. Only use ``--show-report`` when running tests locally because it pauses the test run.)
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 <code>behave</code> Dashboard & Reports:</h3>
|
||
|
||
(The [behave_bdd/](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/tree/master/examples/behave_bdd) folder can be found in the [examples/](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/tree/master/examples) folder.)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
behave behave_bdd/features/ -D dashboard -D headless
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/cdn/img/sb_behave_dashboard.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="520">
|
||
|
||
You can also use ``--junit`` to get ``.xml`` reports for each <code translate="no">behave</code> feature. Jenkins can use these files to display better reporting for your tests.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
behave behave_bdd/features/ --junit -D rs -D headless
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 Allure Reports:</h3>
|
||
|
||
See: [https://allurereport.org/docs/pytest/](https://allurereport.org/docs/pytest/)
|
||
|
||
SeleniumBase no longer includes ``allure-pytest`` as part of installed dependencies. If you want to use it, install it first:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip install allure-pytest
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now your tests can create Allure results files, which can be processed by Allure Reports.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest test_suite.py --alluredir=allure_results
|
||
```

<h3><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Using a Proxy Server:</h3>
|
||
|
||
If you wish to use a proxy server for your browser tests (Chromium or Firefox), you can add ``--proxy=IP_ADDRESS:PORT`` as an argument on the command line.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest proxy_test.py --proxy=IP_ADDRESS:PORT
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the proxy server that you wish to use requires authentication, you can do the following (Chromium only):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest proxy_test.py --proxy=USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP_ADDRESS:PORT
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
SeleniumBase also supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest proxy_test.py --proxy="socks4://IP_ADDRESS:PORT"
|
||
|
||
pytest proxy_test.py --proxy="socks5://IP_ADDRESS:PORT"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To make things easier, you can add your frequently-used proxies to PROXY_LIST in [proxy_list.py](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/seleniumbase/config/proxy_list.py), and then use ``--proxy=KEY_FROM_PROXY_LIST`` to use the IP_ADDRESS:PORT of that key.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest proxy_test.py --proxy=proxy1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h3><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Changing the User-Agent:</h3>
|
||
|
||
🔵 If you wish to change the User-Agent for your browser tests (Chromium and Firefox only), you can add ``--agent="USER AGENT STRING"`` as an argument on the command-line.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest user_agent_test.py --agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Nintendo 3DS; U; ; en) Version/1.7412.EU"
|
||
```

||
|
||
<h3><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Handling Pop-Up Alerts:</h3>
|
||
|
||
🔵 <code translate="no">self.accept_alert()</code> automatically waits for and accepts alert pop-ups. <code translate="no">self.dismiss_alert()</code> automatically waits for and dismisses alert pop-ups. On occasion, some methods like <code translate="no">self.click(SELECTOR)</code> might dismiss a pop-up on its own because they call JavaScript to make sure that the <code translate="no">readyState</code> of the page is <code translate="no">complete</code> before advancing. If you're trying to accept a pop-up that got dismissed this way, use this workaround: Call <code translate="no">self.find_element(SELECTOR).click()</code> instead, (which will let the pop-up remain on the screen), and then use <code translate="no">self.accept_alert()</code> to accept the pop-up (<a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/issues/600#issuecomment-647270426">more on that here</a>). If pop-ups are intermittent, wrap code in a try/except block.

<summary> ▶️ Here are some things you can do to set up a production environment for your testing. (<b>click to expand</b>)</summary>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>You can set up a <a href="https://jenkins.io/" target="_blank">Jenkins</a> build server for running tests at regular intervals. For a real-world Jenkins example of headless browser automation in action, check out the <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/integrations/azure/jenkins/ReadMe.md">SeleniumBase Jenkins example on Azure</a> or the <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/integrations/google_cloud/ReadMe.md">SeleniumBase Jenkins example on Google Cloud</a>.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>You can use <a href="https://selenium.dev/documentation/en/grid/" target="_blank">the Selenium Grid</a> to scale your testing by distributing tests on several machines with parallel execution. To do this, check out the <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/tree/master/seleniumbase/utilities/selenium_grid">SeleniumBase selenium_grid folder</a>, which should have everything you need, including the <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/seleniumbase/utilities/selenium_grid/ReadMe.md">Selenium Grid ReadMe</a> to help you get started.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If you're using the <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/mysql_installation.md">SeleniumBase MySQL feature</a> to save results from tests running on a server machine, you can install <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/">MySQL Workbench</a> to help you read & write from your DB more easily.</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>If you're using AWS, you can set up an <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/s3/" target="_blank">Amazon S3</a> account for saving log files and screenshots from your tests. To activate this feature, modify <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/seleniumbase/config/settings.py">settings.py</a> with connection details in the S3 section, and add <code translate="no">--with-s3-logging</code> on the command-line when running your tests.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
Here's an example of running tests with some additional features enabled:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest [YOUR_TEST_FILE.py] --with-db-reporting --with-s3-logging
|

<h3><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Detailed Method Specifications and Examples:</h3>
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Navigating to a web page: (and related commands)**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.open("https://xkcd.com/378/") # This method opens the specified page.
|
||
|
||
self.go_back() # This method navigates the browser to the previous page.
|
||
|
||
self.go_forward() # This method navigates the browser forward in history.
|
||
|
||
self.refresh_page() # This method reloads the current page.
|
||
|
||
self.get_current_url() # This method returns the current page URL.
|
||
|
||
self.get_page_source() # This method returns the current page source.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<b>ProTip™:</b> You can use the <code translate="no">self.get_page_source()</code> method with Python's <code translate="no">find()</code> command to parse through HTML to find something specific. (For more advanced parsing, see the <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/test_parse_soup.py">BeautifulSoup example</a>.)
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
source = self.get_page_source()
|
||
head_open_tag = source.find('<head>')
|
||
head_close_tag = source.find('</head>', head_open_tag)
|
||
everything_inside_head = source[head_open_tag+len('<head>'):head_close_tag]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Clicking:**
|
||
|
||
To click an element on the page:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.click("div#my_id")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**ProTip™:** In most web browsers, you can right-click on a page and select ``Inspect Element`` to see the CSS selector details that you'll need to create your own scripts.
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Typing Text:**
|
||
|
||
<code translate="no">self.type(selector, text)</code> # updates the text from the specified element with the specified value. An exception is raised if the element is missing or if the text field is not editable. Example:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.type("input#id_value", "2012")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also use <code translate="no">self.add_text()</code> or the <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" target="_blank">WebDriver</a> <code translate="no">.send_keys()</code> command, but those won't clear the text box first if there's already text inside.
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Getting the text from an element on a page:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
text = self.get_text("header h2")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Getting the attribute value from an element on a page:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
attribute = self.get_attribute("#comic img", "title")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Asserting existence of an element on a page within some number of seconds:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.wait_for_element_present("div.my_class", timeout=10)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(NOTE: You can also use: ``self.assert_element_present(ELEMENT)``)
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Asserting visibility of an element on a page within some number of seconds:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.wait_for_element_visible("a.my_class", timeout=5)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(NOTE: The short versions of that are ``self.find_element(ELEMENT)`` and ``self.assert_element(ELEMENT)``. The ``find_element()`` version returns the element.)
|
||
|
||
Since the line above returns the element, you can combine that with ``.click()`` as shown below:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.find_element("a.my_class", timeout=5).click()
|
||
|
||
# But you're better off using the following statement, which does the same thing:
|
||
|
||
self.click("a.my_class") # DO IT THIS WAY!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**ProTip™:** You can use dots to signify class names (Ex: ``div.class_name``) as a simplified version of ``div[class="class_name"]`` within a CSS selector.
|
||
|
||
You can also use ``*=`` to search for any partial value in a CSS selector as shown below:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.click('a[name*="partial_name"]')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Asserting visibility of text inside an element on a page within some number of seconds:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.assert_text("Make it so!", "div#trek div.picard div.quotes")
|
||
self.assert_text("Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.", "div#trek div.picard div.quotes", timeout=3)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(NOTE: ``self.find_text(TEXT, ELEMENT)`` and ``self.wait_for_text(TEXT, ELEMENT)`` also do this. For backwards compatibility, older method names were kept, but the default timeout may be different.)
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Asserting Anything:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.assert_true(var1 == var2)
|
||
|
||
self.assert_false(var1 == var2)
|
||
|
||
self.assert_equal(var1, var2)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 **Useful Conditional Statements: (with creative examples)**
|
||
|
||
❓ ``is_element_visible(selector):`` (visible on the page)
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||

|
||
print("Red Alert: Something bad might be happening!")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
❓ ``is_element_present(selector):`` (present in the HTML)

<h3>🔵 Switching Tabs:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>If your test opens up a new tab/window, you can switch to it. (SeleniumBase automatically switches to new tabs that don't open to <code translate="no">about:blank</code> URLs.)</p>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.switch_to_window(1) # This switches to the new tab (0 is the first one)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 How to handle iframes:</h3>
|
||
|
||
🔵 <b>iframes</b> follow the same principle as new windows: You must first switch to the iframe if you want to perform actions in there:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.switch_to_frame("iframe")
|
||
# ... Now perform actions inside the iframe
|
||
self.switch_to_parent_frame() # Exit the current iframe
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To exit from multiple iframes, use ``self.switch_to_default_content()``. (If inside a single iframe, this has the same effect as ``self.switch_to_parent_frame()``.)
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.switch_to_frame('iframe[name="frame1"]')
|
||
self.switch_to_frame('iframe[name="frame2"]')
|
||
# ... Now perform actions inside the inner iframe
|
||
self.switch_to_default_content() # Back to the main page
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 You can also use a context manager to act inside iframes:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
with self.frame_switch("iframe"):
|
||
# ... Now perform actions while inside the code block
|
||
# You have left the iframe
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This also works with nested iframes:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
with self.frame_switch('iframe[name="frame1"]'):
|
||
with self.frame_switch('iframe[name="frame2"]'):
|
||
# ... Now perform actions while inside the code block
|
||
# You are now back inside the first iframe
|
||
# You have left all the iframes
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 How to execute custom jQuery scripts:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>jQuery is a powerful JavaScript library that allows you to perform advanced actions in a web browser.
|
||
If the web page you're on already has jQuery loaded, you can start executing jQuery scripts immediately.
|
||
You'd know this because the web page would contain something like the following in the HTML:</p>
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
🔵 It's OK if you want to use jQuery on a page that doesn't have it loaded yet. To do so, run the following command first:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.activate_jquery()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<div></div>
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary> ▶️ Here are some examples of using jQuery in your scripts. (<b>click to expand</b>)</summary>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery, window.scrollTo(0, 600)") # Scrolling the page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery('#annoying-widget').hide()") # Hiding elements on a page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery('#hidden-widget').show(0)") # Showing hidden elements on a page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery('#annoying-button a').remove()") # Removing elements on a page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery('%s').mouseover()" % (mouse_over_item)) # Mouse-over elements on a page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery('input#the_id').val('my_text')") # Fast text input on a page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("jQuery('div#dropdown a.link').click()") # Click elements on a page
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("return jQuery('div#amazing')[0].text") # Returns the css "text" of the element given
|
||
|
||
self.execute_script("return jQuery('textarea')[2].value") # Returns the css "value" of the 3rd textarea element on the page
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(Most of the above commands can be done directly with built-in SeleniumBase methods.)
|
||
|
||
</details>
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 How to handle a restrictive CSP:</h3>
|
||
|
||
❗ Some websites have a restrictive [Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) to prevent users from loading jQuery and other external libraries onto their websites. If you need to use jQuery or another JS library on those websites, add ``--disable-csp`` as a ``pytest`` command-line option to load a Chromium extension that bypasses the CSP.
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 More JavaScript fun:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<div></div>
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary> ▶️ In this example, JavaScript creates a referral button on a page, which is then clicked. (<b>click to expand</b>)</summary>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
start_page = "https://xkcd.com/465/"
|
||
destination_page = "https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase"
|
||
self.open(start_page)
|
||
referral_link = '''<a class='analytics test' href='%s'>Free-Referral Button!</a>''' % destination_page
|
||
self.execute_script('''document.body.innerHTML = \"%s\"''' % referral_link)
|
||
self.click("a.analytics") # Clicks the generated button
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(Due to popular demand, this traffic generation example has been included in SeleniumBase with the <code translate="no">self.generate_referral(start_page, end_page)</code> and the <code translate="no">self.generate_traffic(start_page, end_page, loops)</code> methods.)

<h3>🔵 How to use deferred asserts:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Let's say you want to verify multiple different elements on a web page in a single test, but you don't want the test to fail until you verified several elements at once so that you don't have to rerun the test to find more missing elements on the same page. That's where deferred asserts come in. Here's an example:</p>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from seleniumbase import BaseCase
|
||
BaseCase.main(__name__, __file__)
|
||
|
||
class DeferredAssertTests(BaseCase):
|
||
def test_deferred_asserts(self):
|
||
self.open("https://xkcd.com/993/")
|
||
self.wait_for_element("#comic")
|
||
self.deferred_assert_element('img[alt="Brand Identity"]')
|
||
self.deferred_assert_element('img[alt="Rocket Ship"]') # Will Fail
|
||
self.deferred_assert_element("#comicmap")
|
||
self.deferred_assert_text("Fake Item", "ul.comicNav") # Will Fail
|
||
self.deferred_assert_text("Random", "ul.comicNav")
|
||
self.deferred_assert_element('a[name="Super Fake !!!"]') # Will Fail
|
||
self.deferred_assert_exact_text("Brand Identity", "#ctitle")
|
||
self.deferred_assert_exact_text("Fake Food", "#comic") # Will Fail
|
||
self.process_deferred_asserts()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<code translate="no">deferred_assert_element()</code> and <code translate="no">deferred_assert_text()</code> will save any exceptions that would be raised.
|
||
To flush out all the failed deferred asserts into a single exception, make sure to call <code translate="no">self.process_deferred_asserts()</code> at the end of your test method. If your test hits multiple pages, you can call <code translate="no">self.process_deferred_asserts()</code> before navigating to a new page so that the screenshot from your log files matches the URL where the deferred asserts were made.
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 How to access raw <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" target="_blank">WebDriver</a>:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you need access to any commands that come with standard <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" target="_blank">WebDriver</a>, you can call them directly like this:</p>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
self.driver.delete_all_cookies()
|
||
capabilities = self.driver.capabilities
|
||
self.driver.find_elements("partial link text", "GitHub")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(In general, you'll want to use the SeleniumBase versions of methods when available.)
|
||
|
||
<h3>🔵 How to retry failing tests automatically:</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can use <code translate="no">pytest --reruns=NUM</code> to retry failing tests that many times. Add <code translate="no">--reruns-delay=SECONDS</code> to wait that many seconds between retries. Example:</p>
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pytest --reruns=1 --reruns-delay=1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p>You can use the <code translate="no">@retry_on_exception()</code> decorator to retry failing methods. (First import: <code translate="no">from seleniumbase import decorators</code>).
