The thing with deploying Selenium on MAC OS, is that it can be tricky, and I ended up with failures in my basic code, because I didn’t had some other components installed, like the GeckoDriver.
Once you do that, you’ll get a message which will ask you if you wish to download and install the package. You can also install it by launching P圜harm, and creating a new python (.py) file, in which you only have to write: import selenium. Make sure that you click on the Latest version button in order to make sure that everything is up to date. Install P圜harm Community Edition: - I like PYe, but then again, I’m learning things, so I’ll stick to Python. Install Python with Terminal: pip install python, or from here: - dealers choice.Ģ.
Make changes to the python script replace driver = webdriver.Firefox() with following:ĭriver = (command_executor='', desired_capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX).Java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0.jar Run the selenium server on the machine where you want to run browser using the following command.To run the selenium test remotely these are the steps: The python script exists with no error message.The test script click on the search icon and it expands to a search box as shown below:.Firefox windows opens with search image icon as shown below:.Searchfield = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div > form input")Īssert searchfield != None, "No search input box after the click" # ensure search form and input box after clickĪssert searchform != None, "No form after the click" Searchimg = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div > img")Īssert "/img/search_icon" in searchimg.get_attribute("src") So we'll never come here.Īssert 0 = 1, "Should not find search form in html before the click" Searchform = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div > form") #driver = (command_executor='', desired_capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX)
Here is the python selenium code to achieve this test:įrom import Keysįrom _capabilities import DesiredCapabilities Then we’ll check the existence of the search box. For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll visit and click on search icon which should expand it to a search box. Running selenium locally need only python bindings.
You can run Selenium webdriver locally or remotely.
This article will cover Selenium webdriver test automation on Mac using python. One of the commonly approach is to use Selenium webdriver which has API in many languages like Python, Java, etc. Selenium is an excellent tool which automates browsers.
