How to access stored value in PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase

How to save a value in Selenium-RC (via PHPUnit) and then access / access it later using PHPUnit?

Suppose I run the following command in test mode:

$this->storeExpression( "foo", "bar" );

If I understand the Selenium API documentation correctly, I could access this data using javascript{storedVars['foo']} using the good Selenese style. It must contain the value "bar" .

My question is this: how can I access this javascript{storedVars['test']} expression (or, more generally, javascript{storedVars} in PHPUnit?

For example, here is a simple test that I performed:

 public function testStorage() { $this->open('http://www.google.com/'); // for example $this->storeExpression( 'foo', 'bar' ); $foo = $this->getExpression('foo'); echo $foo; }

The output is "foo" (among other standard PHPUnit output), while I expect it to be a "bar". It just returns me the name of the expression, not its value.

Can anyone with experience with this give me some guidance?

Good posts in this thread, but at the moment it seems like a 100% working answer.

Based on selenium link here

http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0/reference.html#storedVars

It would seem that the correct code syntax would be as follows:

 $this->storeExpression( 'bar', 'foo' ); $foo = $this->getExpression("\${foo}");

I have not tested this for sure, but something similar with

 $this->storeHtmlSource('srcTxt'); $val = $this->getExpression('\${srcTxt}'); print $val;

did the trick for me.

PHPUnit Selenium test storeExpression driver really understands storeExpression and getExpression ; look at the source code. You can do

 $this->storeExpression('foo', 'bar');

and

 $this->getExpression('foo');

How Selenium Saves the result of an expression in the second argument, it stores the value in "bar", and when u need to call it, you must call the saved name to get the expression.

  $this->storeExpression( 'foo', 'bar' ); $foo = $this->getExpression("bar");

Let it help you, it worked for me.

EDIT:

  $evaluated = $this->getEval("regex:3+3"); $expressed = $this->getExpression("regex:3+3");

First Evaluated will give the evaluated result for the expression and the second will show the expressed output. A wrapper is used to verify that the specified expression was highlighted or not by a warning.
