Front-end automation using Ruby, RSpec and Selenium

Ruby Selenium Examples

About:

These examples are for building GUI acceptance tests using Selenium WebDriver (Selenium) in Ruby using an open source BDD framework called RSpec. (Sometimes these GUI tests are called integration tests or end to end tests.)

Many of these test ideas come from the Elemental Selenium tips site and elsewhere on the web as separate bits of example code. Then they get refactored into a single test suite with separate page objects as it presents a cleaner and more realistic view of how you might structure a similar test suite.

The challenge (and fun) with any automation is always about how to reveal new and interesting information through tests in a computer aided fashion.

Container

1. Build it docker build -t selenium_rspec
2. Run it docker run -ti selenium_rspec /bin/bash

Can't do much from here at this point. TBD

Installation:

1. Download or clone the repo
2. Run bundle install to install all of the required gems

Running

Locally:

Run tests individually:

1. Switch to the /spec/ folder
2. Run the tests at command line rspec <specname>.rb

Run tests in parallel:

1. Run tests at the command line rake local:chrome or rake local:firefox

Remotely at SauceLabs:

(Must have a SauceLabs account:)

1. Update config_cloud.rb file for

• SAUCE_USERNAME
• SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY

2. Run the tests at command line rspec -r ./config_cloud.rb or
3. Run the tests in parallel at the command line rake cloud:<browser[options]>
