Simpler webdriver API through a wrapper

Project description

Python wrapper for interacting with Selenium through XPath paths.

Example

Nicer tests for web sites.

import unittest
from xpathwebdriver.simple_xpath_browser import SimpleXpathBrowser

class SearchEnginesDemo(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        # Get Xpath browser
        self.browser = SimpleXpathBrowser()

    def tearDown(self):
        # Make sure we quit those webdrivers created in this specific "level of life"
        del self.browser

    def test_duckduckgo(self):
        # Load a local page for the demo
        self.browser.get_url('https://duckduckgo.com/')
        # Type smoothtest and press enter
        self.browser.fill(".//*[@id='search_form_input_homepage']", 'xpathwebdriver\n')

Install

pip install xpathwebdriver

The selenium package requires you to download drivers

Decompressed executables should be in yor PATH.

If you update python’s webdriver package make sure you update browsers and drivers.

Running the interactive shell

Once installed run in command line:

xpathshell

Or:

xpathshell github.com/joaduo/xpathwebdriver

To open https://github.com/joaduo/xpathwebdriver

You will get an IPython interactive shell like:

XpathBrowser in 'b' or 'browser' variables
 Current url: https://github.com/joaduo/xpathwebdriver
