NAME

Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst - Test your Catalyst application with Selenium

DEVELOPER RELEASE

This is a developer release. It's working for me in production, but it depends on a Java application (SeleniumRC), which can be unreliable. On my Debian system, I had to put firefox-bin in my path, and add /usr/lib/firefox to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Every distro and OS is different, so I'd like some feedback on how this works on your system. I would like to find a clean solution that lets this module "Just Work" for everyone, but I have a feeling that it's going to look more like if(gentoo){ ... } elsif (debian) { ... } and so on. I can live with that, but I need your help to get to that stage!

Please report any problems to RT, the Catalyst mailing list, or the #catalyst IRC channel on irc.perl.org. Thanks!

SYNOPSIS

use Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst 'MyApp';
use Test::More tests => 2;

my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst->start; 
$sel->open_ok('/');
$sel->is_text_present_ok('Welcome to MyApp');

This module starts the SeleniumRC server and your Catalyst app so that you can test it with SeleniumRC. Once you've called Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst-start>, everything is just like Test::WWW::Selenium.

FUNCTIONS

start

Starts the Selenium and Catalyst servers, and returns a pre-initialized, ready-to-use Test::WWW::Selenium object.

[NOTE] The selenium server is actually started when you use this module, and it's killed when your test exits.

sel_pid

Returns the process ID of the Selenium Server.

app_pid

Returns the process ID of the Catalyst server.

ENVIRONMENT

Debugging messages are shown if CATALYST_DEBUG or MYAPP_DEBUG are set. MYAPP is the name of your application, uppercased. (This is the same syntax as Catalyst itself.)

DIAGNOSTICS

Specify your app's name

You need to pass your Catalyst app's name as the argument to the use statement:

use Test::WWW::Selenium::Catalyst 'MyApp'

MyApp is the name of your Catalyst app.
