digitalmars.D - WebTesting library

Hi,

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone but I've created a 
webtesting library that is basically a phantomjs driver. It looks 
similar to Webdriver/Selenium but its in D.

I have been using it to functionally test my web apps. If anyone 
is remotely interested I will publish it on dub.

That is cool. Please publish, at least GitHub.

I guess you are talking about https://github.com/kingsleyh/erik ?
Can you tell more about it. You write tests in D and "erik" runs 
them with phantom.js?
Is something special when using it together with vibe.d?
Is there anything planed to put on top on it like behat?
Is it compatible with selenium. E.g. can you run tests in the 
cloud or differnt browsers.

Sorry for asking maybe stupid questions.

Hey - yeah thats it.

I have been using d-unit to write the tests and using erik as the 
tool to operate and drive the browser - in this case the 
phantomjs headless javascript browser.

an example might be:
      Test
     public void doit(){
       Session session = Session.start(); // start new phantom on 
random port
       session.visitUrl("http://www.google.com"); // visit url
       By search = By.cssSelector("input[name='q']");
       session.waitFor(search, Condition.isClickable()); // wait 
for search box to appear
       WebElement searchBox = session.findElement(search); // 
select search box
       searchBox.sendKeys("d language kingsley");                  
    // type into search box
       writeln(searchBox.getAttribute("value"));           // get 
search box value
     }

There is currently nothing special for vibe.d - however I'm 
planning on doing some better integration there.
I may write a cucumber/behat/jbehave thing that it could hook into
It's currently not directly compatible with selenium - the hooks 
exist but I haven't pushed them forward - but it would not be 
hard to support selenium for driving different browsers.

I'm not 100% in which direction it will go at the moment as only 
the basics are implemented.
