This time i show you the headless testing with Selenium WebDriver and PhantomJS. This method can be used for example on continuous integration systems.
Install PhantomJS
Follow the documentation on PhantomJS website or as Mac OS X user simply use Mac Ports.
# on Mac OS X $ sudo port install PhantomJS # check version $ phantomjs --version
Create a tiny test script
#!/usr/bin/env python import unittest from selenium import webdriver class SearchContentOnWebsite(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): # create a new PhantomJS session self.driver = webdriver.PhantomJS() self.driver.set_window_size(800, 600) self.driver.get("http://softwaretester.info") def test_search_headline(self): title = 'This will fail | - Softwaretester -' assert title in self.driver.title def tearDown(self): self.driver.close() if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main(verbosity=2)
Just create a instance of PhantomJS WebDriver and run you tests. That is all! 😉
