Testing with Web Driver and Selenium through Codeception


I know I'll get crap for this but it's worth it if someone can help.

I can't find a guide, tutorial, or instructions anywhere for installing web driver on a windows machine. I've got a site running on a homestead vagrant box and need a way of running acceptance tests locally. I had tests setup using PhpBrowser but those don't simulate JavaScript. If anyone knows of a guide to do this or a better way to run acceptance tests it would help immensely. I've got Ajax calls so PhpBrowser and resources like it won't work.

Thanks!


Solution

  • Download and Run the selenium-server-standalone-2.43.1.jar as stated in the comment. I had to add firefox_binary: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe under capabilities: in my acceptance.suite.yml file. I also added it to the path variable but I'm not sure if that made a difference. Had to add the firefox_binary to make it work.
