selenium-axis-plugin

This plugin creates an axis based on the Selenium grid capabilities. It will also build against the SauceLabs Selenium capability at the same time.

So you can have an axis with both capabilities

It does this by creating four environment variables to pass to the build phase.

• LABEL_URL for either the local Selenium or SauceLabs
• LABEL_BROWSER for the browser (e.g. chrome, firefox)
• LABEL_PLATFORM for the platform (e.g. LINUX, VISTA)
• LABEL_VERSION for the browser version

You can use any label you want for the axis, so long as all the axes are unique

This is an example test in Perl which can be run as a build step

use Test::More tests=>8;
use_ok 'Selenium::Remote::Driver';

ok $ENV{TEST_BROWSER}, "Browser name set";
ok $ENV{TEST_PLATFORM}, "Platform name set";
ok $ENV{TEST_VERSION}, "Version name set";
ok $ENV{TEST_URL}, "URL set";

my $browser  = $ENV{TEST_BROWSER};
my $platform = $ENV{TEST_PLATFORM};
my $version  = $ENV{TEST_VERSION};
my $url      = $ENV{TEST_URL};

#so perl likes the selenium url not to have http:// on the front
#for SauceLabs this will be user:password@ which is set in the global config
$url =~ s|^http://||;

my $parms = [remote_server_addr=>$url ];

push @$parms, (platform => $platform) unless $platform eq 'Any';
push @$parms, (browser_name => $browser) unless $browser eq 'Any';
push @$parms, (version => $version) unless $version eq 'Any';

push @$parms, (extra_capabilities => {name => $ENV{BUILD_TAG}||$0 });

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper ($parms);

my $driver = new_ok('Selenium::Remote::Driver' => $parms);

ok $driver->get('http://www.google.com');
is $driver->get_title(), 'Google';
$driver->quit();

For Selenium it will detect the capabilities and display them. For SauceLabs it will pick some at random from the available. Both will be rebuilt ar build time so new capabilities are incorporated without revisiting the project.

I would advise using the Mask Password Plugin to mask passwords in the console log.

You will need a SauceLabs account to use the SauceLabs part. If you don't want this then you can turn it off in the global config.
