Selenium 2 - Unable to run Se2 test in Firefox:

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1036

I have the following test script (after having installed selenium-webdriver 0.1.0)

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../spec_helper_2.rb")

def driver_browser
  if WHICH_BROWSER == "firefox"
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:firefox)
  elsif WHICH_BROWSER == ""
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for()
  elsif WHICH_BROWSER == ""
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for()
  elsif WHICH_BROWSER == ""
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for()
  else
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for()
  end

end

describe "test" do

  before(:all) do
    driver_browser
  end

  after(:all) do
    @browser.quit
  end

  it "Should be a test" do
    @browser.navigate.to SECURE_HOST
    sleep 10 
  end

end

When I run this test for :firefox the browser starts but I get the following:

Problem while setting context on example startundefined local variable or method `selenium_driver'
for #<Spec::Example::ExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x10244e9d8>

I then get:

Problem while capturing system stateundefined local variable or method `selenium_driver'
for #<Spec::Example::ExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x10244e9d8>

and the browser closes.

Not sure what this is as my tests seem to be setup properly based on the documentation
I could find.

These appear to be warnings and don't actually stop the execution of a test script.

So does the browser close, or does your test run?

Please post the full code needed to reproduce the problem. 

I'm 99% sure the warning isn't coming from our code. The fact that it can't find a
"selenium_driver" method on a Spec::Example class indicates that you're referring to
a selenium_driver variable inside an rspec example somewhere - i.e. it's your own code
that's throwing this error.

Yes browser closes. Here is the full code:

describe "test" do

  before(:all) do
    driver_browser
    setup_testing
    get_student_email
    create_trial_user_through_api("gmat_v2", @student_email)
    login_to_site
  end

  after(:all) do
    @browser.quit
  end

  def login_to_site
    email_address = @browser.find_element(:name, 'email')
    email_address.send_keys(@student_email)
    password = @browser.find_element(:name, 'password')
    password.send_keys("test")
    @browser.find_element(:class_name, 'primary-button').click()
  end

  it "Should validate that the element exists" do
    #@browser.wait_for_element "css=#video_knewton_experience", :timeout_in_seconds
=> 20 #this is Se RC code. Need the SE2 equivalent
    sleep 10 
  end

end

Associated Functions:

def setup_testing
  ensure_user_logged_out
end

def ensure_user_logged_out
  @browser.navigate.to SECURE_HOST + "/logout"
end

def driver_browser
  if WHICH_BROWSER == "firefox"
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:firefox)
  elsif WHICH_BROWSER == "ie"
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:ie)
  elsif WHICH_BROWSER == "chrome"
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:chrome)
  elsif WHICH_BROWSER == ""
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for()
  else
    @browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for()
  end
end

The other 2 functions:   get_student_email and create_trial_user_through_api don't
have any selenium driver code in them.

Issues resolved. Was combining webdriver and selenium rc requires in my spec helper.
Removed the rc ones and the warnings are gone.
