Converts HTML text of Selenium test case recorded from Selenium IDE into PHP code for PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase or PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase as TestCase file. Check Commands2.php for Selenium2 and Commands.php for Selenium RC implemented commands.
Basic workflow:
- Record HTML tests with Selenum IDE
- Store them in some directory
- Use selenium2php [switches]
- Use PhantomJS or other webdrivers for testing
- Edit test if necessary and go to step 2
It is easier if you use continuous integration, for example, Jenkins.
selenium2php [switches] Test.html [Test.php]
selenium2php [switches] <directory>
--dest=<path> Destination folder.
--selenium2 Use Selenium2 tests format.
--php-prefix=<string> Add prefix to php filenames.
--php-postfix=<string> Add postfix to php filenames.
--browser=<browsers string> Set browser for tests.
--browser-url=<url> Set URL for tests.
--remote-host=<host> Set Selenium server address for tests.
--remote-port=<port> Set Selenium server port for tests.
-r|--recursive Use subdirectories for converting.
--class-prefix=<prefix> Set TestCase class prefix.
--use-hash-postfix Add hash part to output filename
--files-pattern=<pattern> Glob pattern for input test files (*.html).
--output-tpl=<file> Template for result file. See Selenium2TestCaseTpl.
--custom-param1=<value> Assign value to $customParam1 in template.
--custom-param2=<value> Assign value to $customParam2 in template.
If you are going to use Selenium 2, you should know:
- You do not wait for simple page loading (links, form submits).
- You have to wait for some elements if you use ajax calls or changing visiblity via javascripts. Use waitFor*, for example, waitForElementPresent after click command.
- You can nott manipulate invisible elements.
You have google.html recorded in Selenium IDE:

You run
php selenium2php.php --selenium2 --browser=phantomjs --output-tpl=Selenium2TestCaseTpl.tpl google.html
And you get GoogleTest.php
<?php

*/
class S2p_GoogleTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase{
function setUp(){
$this->setBrowser("phantomjs");
$this->setBrowserUrl("https://www.google.com/");
$this->setHost("127.0.0.1");
$this->setPort(4444);
}
function testGoogle(){
$this->url('/');
$this->waitUntil(function($testCase) {
try {
$testCase->byCssSelector("form input[autocomplete=\"off\"]");
return true;
} catch (PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase_WebDriverException $e) {}
}, 8000);
$input = $this->byCssSelector("form input[autocomplete=\"off\"]");
$input->value("github");
$input = $this->byCssSelector("form input[type=\"submit\"]");
$input->click();
$this->waitUntil(function($testCase) {

$this->assertTrue((bool)(strpos($this->byTag('body')->text(), 'Build software better, together') !== false));

}
Your test case is ready. Prepare your selenim hub + phantomjs webdriver like here:
java -jar selenium.jar -role hub
phantomjs --webdriver=1408 --webdriver-selenium-grid-hub=http://127.0.0.1:4444
And run phpunit:
php phpunit.phar GoogleTest.php
You have google.html recorded in Selenium IDE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</tr>
<tr>

<td>Build software better, together</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>
You run
php selenium2php.php google.html
And you get GoogleTest.php
<?php
/*
* Autogenerated from Selenium html test case by Selenium2php.
* 2013-02-28 12:26:53
*/
class GoogleTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase{
function setUp(){
$this->setBrowser("*firefox");
$this->setBrowserUrl("https://www.google.ru/");
}
function testGoogle(){
$this->open("/");
$this->type("id=gbqfq", "github");
for ($second = 0; ; $second++) {
if ($second >= 60) $this->fail("timeout");
try {
if ($this->isElementPresent("id=res")) break;
} catch (Exception $e) {}
sleep(1);
}
$this->assertTrue($this->isTextPresent("Build software better, together"));
}
}
If you don't need php test files, see PHPUnit Example
<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';
class SeleneseTests extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
public static $seleneseDirectory = '/path/to/files';
}
?>
You can add you php code to every TestCase file. For example, save screenshot on not successful test.
File Selenium2TestCaseScreenshotTpl.tpl:
<?php
{$comment}
class S2p_{$className} extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase{
function setUp(){
$this->setBrowser("{$browser}");
$this->setBrowserUrl("{$testUrl}");
$this->setHost("{$remoteHost}");
$this->setPort({$remotePort});
}
function {$testMethodName}(){
{$testMethodContent}
}
public function onNotSuccessfulTest(Exception $e){
file_put_contents("D:/t/test_screenshots/{$className}.png", $this->currentScreenshot());
throw $e;
}
}
Run converting with option --output-tpl
php selenium2php.php --selenium2 --browser=phantomjs --output-tpl=Selenium2TestCaseScreenshotTpl.tpl google.html
