Selenium test library for Robot Framework

This library is deprecated. Please use Selenium2Library <https://github.com/robotframework/Selenium2Library>_ instead.

Introduction

SeleniumLibrary is a test library for Robot Framework that enables testing of web applications. As the name suggests, it uses Selenium tool <http://selenium.openqa.org> internally. Because it uses the deprecated Selenium 1.0 version also the library itself is deprecated. All new projects should use Selenium2Library and existing users are also recommended to upgrade to it.

This projects has been migrated from dying Google Code <http://code.google.com/p/robotframework-seleniumlibrary/>_.

Installation

If you have pip installed, you can install SeleniumLibrary by running::

pip install --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary

For other alternatives and more information in general see <INSTALL.rst>__.

Usage

To run tests with Robot Framework and SeleniumLibrary following things must be done

• SeleniumLibrary must be taken into use in Robot test data. See Robot Framework User Guide__ for more information.
• Selenium server must be started with command java -jar [path_to_server]/selenium_server.jar, where [path_to_server] depends on platform.
