Capturing browsers with Selenium RC

Question

I want to run UI tests using browsers like BrowserStack. We are currently using BS to run unit tests through JsTestDriver. Thus, starting the server, allowing a bunch of browsers created by the browser, connect to the jstd server and then run the tests.

Unfortunately, I could not find a way to write UI tests that work with jstd (click a button, enter something, etc.).

Selenium RC is a platform that focuses on UI tests, but it forces you to use your own browser instances: Selenium launches its own browsers through Drivers, which are part of the framework.

I want to combine the JsTestDriver concept with Selenium UI testing: write tests with Selenium, run the Selenium RC server on the local host, allow the browser bundle to connect to the server that was running on the browser, and then run the user interface tests.

Is it possible? Is there any other way to run UI tests using JSTD? Selenium RC unable to capture browsers that do not start using webdriver?

early.

Answer 1

Technically, yes, but it will hurt.
Since jsTestDriver supports asynchronous tests , you can launch (and connect to it) the browser (using JavaScript ) at the setup stage.

"Isn't Selenium RC capable of hijacking browsers that don't start using webdriver?" Probably not in the near future .
