Does Selenium or WatiN have property like QTP's Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2?

There are some buttons and menus in the application I am testing that require actual clicks to send all the information through and FireEvent style clicking does not seem to cut it. Both TestPartner and QTP can use actual clicks. TestPartner does this always (slow) and QTP does this by changing the 'ReplayType' to 2 from 1.

Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2

So my question is. Is there anyway to get real clicks in WatiN or Selenium? I have not been able to find that option.

Thank You, Josh

  • Selenium 2 can fire real clicks instead of trying to synthesize the clicks and keystrokes like Selenium 1 does. It does a lot of interaction with the OS to do these things natively which over comes a lot of the Selenium 1 issues like is it firing a click or mouseup or mousedown?

    Selenium 2 is in its 2nd alpha phase and is quite stable at the moment. You can get Selenium 2.0a2 from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list.

    I have been working on the .NET bindings and am really happy with the way they are going.
