In Codeception we use this driver via Mink and we got reports that there are issues when working with new Selenium Server:

Codeception/Codeception#474

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getMessage() on a non-object in vendor/instaclick/php-webdriver/lib/WebDriver/Container.php on line 89

A fix was proposed: Codeception/Codeception#474 (comment)

phpunit.xml.dist has already been committed, but not the test/ folder itself

The :window_handle is no longer part of the URL

I'm trying to run selenium tests so that it only chooses a certain version of IE.

In WebDriver.php line 65 the $requiredCapbilties array gets overwritten with a blank array, meaning that I cannot make the browser version of IE required, only desired.

This is causing issues as it is opening the wrong version of IE to run the tests on.

Thanks.

I downloaded the zip and extract the contents into a folder then install composer.phar and run

php composer.phar require instaclick/php-webdriver

but this couldn't install the dependencies.

How can I install instaclick/php-webdriver with composer?

It would be great if you could support the sendKeys command so it would be possible to do remote file uploads.

See: http://sauceio.com/index.php/2012/03/selenium-tips-uploading-files-in-remote-webdriver/

thanks!

ghostdriver 1.0.4 included a change (https://github.com/detro/ghostdriver/issues/247) to how sessionId is returned, in order to conform with with the WireProtocol specs. It's no longer returned as part of a 302 redirect, it's included in the json response.

I got it to work by changing AbstractWebDriver::curl to return an array with 'value', 'info', and 'sessionId' keys. Then WebDriver::session uses that sessionId if it is set, but can still fall back to other methods.

The function element in Containter can return null. Where the docblock tells it should only return Element type.

See the call to return $this->webDriverElement($results['value']); at line 77.

webDriverElement can return null next to Element. This is inconsistent.

As an alternative to the JSON Wire Protocol inspired API, adapt the Python bindings API to PHP under the Selenium namespace.

Hey,

I'm unsure if this is a problem with php-webdriver or Selenium itself, however the deleteAllCookies() method in the Session class isn't working in IE8, but does in other browsers.

Thanks.

I'm trying to test Facebook sign-in, which involves popup windows. Is this even possible?

Looking at the session class, there aren't methods for selecting popup windows.

Thanks,
Moon

If a testsuite use the Selenium2Driver, session is not properly closed and after some time an exception will be raised:

IMHO, the webdriver close a session that do not exist and an exception will be raised here:

vendor/instaclick/php-webdriver/lib/WebDriver/AbstractWebDriver.php

// if not success, throw exception
        if ((int) $result['status'] !== 0) {
            throw WebDriverException::factory($result['status'], $message);
        }

because thre $result['status'] is 13.

If we call directly the proper function to close/delete sessions like

        $driver->getWebDriverSession()->close();
        $driver->stop();
    }

an exception will be raised because of the result code that is 12 in this case.

hi, Element::value() is not setting the value into the textbox.
I believe this is a bug.

// get input textbox
$user = $session->element('id', 'username');
// try setting a value into textbox
$user->value('John');

Add abstract Logger class, and implement both TAP and XML loggers.

Refactor the ime and touch methods into their own classes (and add @method annotations for phpdocs)

We've discovered a critical breakage in our behat CI caused by the recent 1.4.4 release.

I've traced this to #67.

An example broken build can be seen at https://travis-ci.org/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/jobs/248559035

Our selenium server log shows the requests being passed through to it without any apparent error.

10:32:36.017 INFO - Done: /session/96d209e0-a12b-43ae-aa50-eff91550202d/window/current/size

The issue is caused in AbstractWebDriver when $rawResult is empty. It looks as though selenium emits an empty body for this request. Previously in 1.4.3 this would incorrectly attempt to parse this as json, but fail silently.

In 1.4.4 this will incorrectly attempt to parse this as json, but raise an error.

What should probably happen is that empty results aren't parsed at all, but left empty.

We are using selenium 2.41.0.

Because some of exception classes create on the fly by eval function:

        if (!class_exists($namespacedClassName, false)) {
            eval(
                'namespace ' . __CLASS__ . '; final class ' . $className . ' extends \\' . __CLASS__ . ' {}'
            );
        }

All these classes objects can't be unserialized, because you'll get __PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name

Also use eval not a good practice at all, because of code auto-completion in this case.

Right now WebDriver is using Curl to send commands to Selenium server. This works just fine, when we're able to make a connection.

However when server isn't responding for 1 minute then connection just drops (default socket connection timeout in PHP). E.g. https://github.com/instaclick/php-webdriver/blob/master/lib/WebDriver/WebDriver.php#L72-L77

I propose that we allow user setting extra curl options (will go directly to service.curl used and to curl_setopt calls).

Hi all,

I am fairly new to the php-webdriver world. Im having trouble running javascript through my test scripts. Im trying some thing like:
$postButtonVisible = $this->session->execute(array('script' => "$('input[value="Post"]').filter(":visible")", 'args' => array()));

Seems to return NULL. But when i tried running the script on the web developer console on Chrome, i get the intended result. And also, if i run a simple script like the one suggested in the docs for php webdriver, it works just fine returning a string "xyz":
$postButtonVisible = $this->session->execute(array('script' => 'return "xyz"', 'args' => array()));

What am i doing wrong? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Is it possible to do the same in PHP WebDriver version?

A format of the response when creating a new session has slightly changed : session id is no longer included into the session url.

According to https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html#elements, which is in use in Selenium >= 3.5, the element name is no longer returned through ELEMENT, but through element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf. This needs to be fixed in https://github.com/instaclick/php-webdriver/blob/master/lib/WebDriver/Container.php#L206

Same behaviour is reported on:

• nightwatchjs/nightwatch#1332
• SeleniumHQ/selenium#4773

• submitted a support request to TravisCI for the trusty + php 5.3 issue
• may have to tweak the CurlService changes from PR #67

Hi.

I am trying to change default curl service behaviour (as mentioned here: #51 (comment))
I've created subclass of CurlService, and in my application bootstrap file I do something like that:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

\Webdriver\ServiceFactory::getInstance()->setServiceClass('service.curl', '\Webdriver\Service\CurlTimeoutService');

But I get Fatal error: Class 'Webdriver\ServiceFactory' not found

To debug this problem I cloned your project and installed dependencies (via composer install).
In my test.php I have following code:

require_once __DIR__ .'/vendor/autoload.php';

var_dump(class_exists('\Webdriver\ServiceFactory', true));

Executing this code, I get false.
So, there is some autoloading problem.

I took a look your composer.json and found following line

It contains namespace name and directory mapped to this namespace. You are telling composer to search class \Webdriver\Foo in file lib/Foo.php. But in lib directory only Webdriver directory exists. More information about composer autoloading can be found here.

I have removed "Webdriver" from autoloading config, regenerated autoload files (composer install) and my script prints true.

Probably, this fix should solve my original problem.

pre-requisite to issue 3

• Temporary Storage
• JS Unit Testing
• Bugs
• User concurrency
• Delete Job
• Job assets

Currently the WebDriver class is declared final.

This is a pity, as the Selenium2Driver has a method setWebDriver which is typehinted against it.
This means that it is not easy for me to subclass either.
I propose that

• either we remove the 'final' keyword from WebDriver
• or we introduce an interface WebDriverInterface (all it needs is the session method) which can be used by 3rd parties for typehinting...

Pirum is pretty easy to install.

See https://github.com/Element-34/php-webdriver/blob/master/package.xml

I'm currently running Behat-Tests on Travis-CI and Saucelabs. But the remote file upload doesn't work. Attached some links with more information regarding this problem:

The package has instaclick/php-webdriver as a dependence, and has broken due to requiring version 1.0.10.

Thanks.

Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in /home/kbushell/Projects/awardforce/bundles/shift/vendor/instaclick/php-webdriver/lib/WebDriver/WebDriver.php on line 59

Attempts to resolve this by forcing $desiredCapabilities to an array, has resulted in fatal errors from selenium -> something is not setup correctly here.

BrowserName.php, CapabilityType.php, and Keys.php are class files that only contain constants. Basically, this acts as a namespace wrapper.

However, a fundamental concept is that classes encapsulate behaviour., but here, there are no methods. Also, there's a code smell here with the class naming (where a constant lives, vs where it is used).

Choices:

1. merge Keys.php into Element.php; merge BrowserName.php into WebDriver.php; merge CapabilityType.php into Sessions.php, or
2. rename Keys.php to WebDriver/Element/Interface.php, BrowserName.php to WebDriver/Interface.php, and CapabilityType.php into WebDriver/Sessions/Interface.php

(I'm leaning towards option 1 as it's simpler and lighter)

e.g., status code -- which would be useful for behat/mink#200

https://github.com/instaclick/php-webdriver/blob/master/lib/WebDriver/Service/CurlService.php#L45 bombs out in a slightly unpleasant way if the curl extension is not available. (As under Ubuntu 13.04, for example.) It would be helpful if it exited with a nice warning if curl is not available.

This feature request is three-fold:

• allow for injection of custom headers in the request to Firefox
• expose the HTTP response code between Selenium and Firefox
• abstract the underlying proxy implementation

Desirable proxies to be supported:

• https://github.com/lightbody/browsermob-proxy
• https://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/

Note: Mink support for getStatusCode() is non-trivial because the Selenium server does not expose the HTTP response received by Firefox (link).

In the Element class, the phpDoc comment for the value() method is incorrectly written as postValue()

https://github.com/instaclick/php-webdriver/blob/master/lib/WebDriver/Element.php#L34

Many tests failed after fetching v1.0.2 I am running
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.23.1.jar locally.

We suddenly started getting failing builds as requiring ~1.1 with "minimum-stability": "dev" was installing dev-master 😄

It would be awesome to get the session() method having the same parameters as the other library methods implementing the $extraOptions array so we can set a curl timeout (and any other desired curlopts) on the session start call.

We have an issue with our Selenium Hub/Grid whereby sessions will attempt to be started but hang/crash on the server which causes the tests to hang forever. Whilst I realise this needs to be resolved at the root cause, it still seems that this would be a useful feature in any case.

wrt draft spec at https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html

Right now the pull model (the service factory) is used instead of push model (dependency injection). The only service that is available right now is CurlService and it's used in 2 classes only:

• AbstractWebDriver
• SauceRest

Proposing to:

1. add an optional $curlService argument to constructor of mentioned classes
2. when not given use service factory to create it
3. add $defaultOptions constructor parameter to existing CurlService class, that would be stored as class property
4. the CurlService::execute method would merge $defaultOptions property with $extraOptions method argument to get final list of curl options for a request

This would both preserve BC and make replacement of CurlService straight forward.

I am using the webdriver in combination with behat. Since the release of 1.4.2 we are getting unusable error messages from the php web-driver

Example:

      Stack trace:

This is (my) desired result here.

I debugged a bit and can track down the error to this commit:

3b11d17

When removing this line everything is working again. I am not into the internals and don't know what problem that commit exactly solved but it makes debugging behat results nearly impossible as there are no error details at all anymore 🍶

I'm using SauceRest class that comes with this library to communicate with SauceLabs service.

Recently my build failed (see https://travis-ci.org/aik099/phpunit-mink/jobs/44319424) with following exception:

As you can see from the stack trace the SSL certificate on SauceLabs appears to be broken or something like that.

To solve that problem I propose to add extra curl options in https://github.com/instaclick/php-webdriver/blob/master/lib/WebDriver/SauceLabs/SauceRest.php#L76 that would allow to skip SSL certificate validation:

// don't verify SSL certificates
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => Array ('Expect:'),

The problem seems to be due to a missing CURLOPT_FAILONERROR option being set by default.
Without that, curl_errno and curl_error do not deliver anything, and the code will let the bad selenium response float all the way up to the upper layers of the testing application.

First noticed while testing using the SauceLabs service. See details here: Behat/MinkExtension#179
