Using selenium in a ruby program

Is it posible to make a ruby file that runs test that uses selenium.

This code is from the selenium ide (Only somthing don in a hurry):

require "selenium"
require "test/unit"

class Untitled < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @verification_errors = []
    if $selenium
      @selenium = $selenium
    else
      @selenium = Selenium::SeleniumDriver.new("localhost", 4444,
"*chrome", "http://change-this-to-the-site-you-are-testing/", 10000);
      @selenium.start
    end
    @selenium.set_context("test_untitled")
  end

  def teardown
    @selenium.stop unless $selenium
    assert_equal [], @verification_errors
  end

  def test_untitled
    @selenium.open "/"
    @selenium.click "link=Documentation"
    @selenium.wait_for_page_to_load "30000"
    @selenium.click "//div[@id='selenium-documentation']/ul[1]/li[1]/a"
    @selenium.wait_for_page_to_load "30000"
    assert @selenium.is_text_present("welcome")
  end
end

Would it be posible to runn this code inside eclipse, or from the
command line?

I have tried:
gem install selenium-client
gem install Selenium
gem install selenium-rails

I have also tryed to download selenium RC and placed it in my app
folder. And made a selenium.rb that point in to it. Somthing like this


But I am notetierly sure if I did this corectly.

If it is posible, do anyone have a clear and easy description of how to
get it to work. And including a example file with requier files and all?

I got it to work in ruby, but I have to start the selenium servver
manualy before I runn the program. That is unesesary mutch work and
complicated. Is there a way to start the selenium server inside the code
and stop it at the end?

Here is a code example i got to work... it is a bit messy

    require 'rubygems'
gem 'thoughtbot-shoulda'
require 'shoulda'

require 'spec'
require 'spec/story'

require 'test/unit'
    require "rubygems"
    gem "selenium-client", ">=1.2.15"
    require "selenium/client"
    require "selenium"

    describe "test" do

      before :all do
        @browser = Selenium::Client::Driver.new \
          :host => "localhost",
          :port => 4444,
          :browser => "*firefox",
          :url => "http://www.google.com",
          :timeout_in_second => 60
      end
      after :all do
        @browser.close_current_browser_session
      end

      it "test1" do
        @browser.start_new_browser_session
        @browser.open "/"
        @browser.type "q", "Selenium seleniumhq.org"
        @browser.click "btnG", :wait_for => :page
        assert @browser.text?("seleniumhq.org")
      end
    end

What do I need to add to get it to start the selenium server automaticly
and stop it at the end?

You might want to take a look at Webrat if you haven't already [0] You can
fairly easily switch between a simulated browser (if you don't need to test
javascript) or run in automated mode i.e. selenium.

I can take a look, but I have to test some sites using javascript. I
have to test a bunch of server side programs, and the way to start them
is to click on stuff that are generated by javascript (or somthing like
that).

That's fine too. As I said earlier it can run selenium tests/server. The key
difference being this abstracts that away and manages the lifecycle of the
selenium server for you.

Do you have an easy example. Soem code that i can easely copy paste and
it works? I am new to this kind of coding and I have some problems.

The site I am testing is a secure site with username and password. And i
have one problem. When i start Selenium tests from a ruby program then a
new browser is opened, and this browser is cleen like a freshly
installed firefox browser.

My problem is that the site I am testing gives this error:

Secure Connection Failed
xxx uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is
unknown.
The certificate is only valid for xxx

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

This stops my test and i also has to accept this every time, it wont
remember that I acceptet it earlyer because it always starts a fresh
cleen firefox browser.

Is there a way to start the regular browser insted. A browser that
remember that i have acceptet this before?

When i start the test from the Selenium IDE then it uses my regular
browser: I want it to use my regular browser when I start it from a ruby
program to. How do I do that?
