SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The Selenium RC home page is at http://openqa.org/selenium-rc

Selenium Remote Control is a test tool that allows you to write automated web application UI tests in any programming language against any HTTP website using any mainstream JavaScript-enabled browser.

Selenium Remote Control provides a Selenium Server, which can automatically start/stop/control any supported browser. It works by using Selenium Core, a pure-HTML+JS library that performs automated tasks in JavaScript.

METHODS

start

This method launches the Selenium RC server bundled in this package. This call will block until the server is killed.

The first argument passed to start() will be passed to selenium-server.jar as a command line argument.

help

Prints the selenium-server.jar usage.

UPDATING SELENIUM-SERVER.JAR

A copy of selenium-server.jar is installed in the Alien::SeleniumRC module directory. The Selenium RC version in this distribution is Version 1.0 beta 2, released 12 January 2009.

To update your local copy, download SeleniumRC from http://seleniumhq.org/download/ and extract the file selenium-server.jar. Copy it to the Alien::SeleniumRC module directory. On most systems, you can find that path by typing

    perldoc -l Alien::SeleniumRC
