- should we unmark ShouldNot as deprecated?
- do we need SeleneDriver anymore? (if we go the direction of SeleneBrowser)
- deprecate the majority of
Selene.*
(except S, SS) when providing alternative API viaBrowser.*
- fix element.GetAttribute to call webelement.GetAttribute instead of webelement.GetDomAttribute
- correspondingly the behavior of element.Value is also fixed, becaused is based on element.GetAttribute
- upgraded Selenium.WebDriver to 4.* (i.e. to 4.17.0 as of 2024.02.09)
- WDM is not used anymore in NSelene examples and removed from README since Selenium Manager is in charge of managing drivers now
- added Configuration.BaseUrl, thanks to @davespoon
- added Have.AttributeWithValue* conditions, thanks to @davespoon
- upgraded Selenium.WebDriver from from 4.2.0 to 4.5.1
collection.ElementBy(condition)
alias tocollection.FindBy(condition)
FindBy
will be probably deprecated in future
collection.By(condition)
alias tocollection.FilterBy(condition)
FilterBy
will be probably deprecated in future
element.Element(locator | selector)
alias toelement.Find(locator | selector)
Find
will be probably deprecated in future
element.All(locator | selector)
alias toelement.FindAll(locator | selector)
FindAll
will be probably deprecated in future
Should(driverCondition)
alias toWaitTo(driverCondition)
- conditions: Have.Url, .UrlContaining, Title, TitleContaining
- collection.ElementByIts(locator | selector, condition)
- so you can implement something like this:
SS(".table-row").ElementByIts(".table-cell[role=name]", Have.Text("John")).Element("[role=remove-user]").Click()
- so you can implement something like this:
- upgraded Selenium.WebDriver from 3.141.0 to 4.2.0
- kept old-fashioned names for SeleneElement.GetAttribute & .GetProperty but now under the hood they use new GetDomAttribute & GetDomProperty correspondingly
- added SeleneElement.GetShadowRoot as wrapper over WebElement.GetShadowRoot
- improved error messages for cases of inner element search
- like error on S(".parent").Find(".child").Click() when .parent is absent or not visible
- FIXED experimental Configuration._HookWaitAction application to Should methods on SeleneElement and SeleneCollection (was not working, just being skipped)
- added waiting to SeleneElementJsExtensions:
- JsClick
- JsType
- JsSetValue
- improved error messsages
- now condition in Should method will be rendered like:
... .Should(Be.Visible)
over just... .Visible
- now condition in Should method will be rendered like:
- deprecated SeleneElement#config, use SeleneElement#Config instead (same for SeleneCollection)
- yet be attentive... the fate of keeping SeleneElement#Config as public is also vague...
- added experimental feature: Configuration._HookWaitAction
- prefixed with underscore implies that this feature is kind of "publically available private property that might be changed/renamed/removed/etc in future;)", so use it on your own risk!!!
- by default equals to null, making internally call waiting algorithm for actions as it is, without additional customization
- specified to something like:
Configuration._HookWaitAction = (entityObject, describeComputation, wait) => { Console.WriteLine($"STARTED WAITING FOR: {entityObject}.{describeComputation()}"); try { wait(); Console.WriteLine($"FINISHED WAITING FOR: {entityObject}.{describeComputation()}"); } catch (Exception error) { Console.WriteLine($"FAILED WAITING FOR: {entityObject}.{describeComputation()}"); throw error; } };
- should provide some additinal logging for all Selene actions, called on entities (like SeleneElement, SeleneCollection)
- under actions we mean "void commands" not "queries returning result".
- void command like element.Should(condition) will return the element itself instead of void ;)
- turned off "waiting for no overlay" that was built-in in alpha05 in all actions. (#85)
- cause it could break some NSelene + Appium mobile tests that can't use JS, while this waiting was built on top of JS so it's relevant only for web...
- yet the Configuration.WaitForNoOverlapFoundByJs was added (false by default)
- so you can turn it on globally by Configuration.WaitForNoOverlapFoundByJs = true
- or per element by element.With(waitForNoOverlapFoundByJs: true)
- in future we might made this waiting enabled by default, when we provide better docs and plugins to work with Appium
- added rendering of elements under overlay into errors (#84)
- made rendering elements HTML – lazy (when waiting for no overlap)
- should improve performance in context of polling during waiting
- made rendering elements HTML – lazy (when waiting for no overlap)
- upgraded waiting of commands, error messages, thread local configuration, etc. (see CHANGELOG for more details)
- it should be
- faster,
- more stable/less-flaky (with implicit waiting till no overlay-style pre-loaders)
- more friendly to parallelisation in context of configuration,
- more customizable on elements level (not just global)
- it should be
- upgrade and check your build
- refactor your custom conditions:
- if you have implemented your own custom conditions by extending e.g.
Condition<SeleneElement>
- you will get a compilation error – to fix it:
- change base class from
Condition<SeleneElement>
toDescribedCondition<SeleneElement>
- remove
public override string Explain()
and leavepublic override string ToString()
instead - if you use anywehere in your code an
Apply
method on condition of typeCondition<TEntity>
- you will get an obsolete warning
- refactor your code to use
Invoke
method, taking into account that- anytime Apply throws exception - Invoke also throws exception
- anytime Apply returns false - Invoke throws exception
- anytime Apply returns true - Invoke just passes (it's of void type)
- refactor your code to use
- you will get an obsolete warning
- change base class from
- you will get a compilation error – to fix it:
- if you have implemented your own custom conditions by extending e.g.
- refactor obsolete things, like:
Configuration.WebDriver
=>Configuration.Driver
S("#element").ShouldNot(Be.*)
toS("#element").Should(Be.Not.*)
S("#element").ShouldNot(yourCustomCondition)
toS("#element").Should(yourCustomCondition.Not)
- etc
- refactor your custom conditions:
- take into account, that some "internal" methods of 1.0.0-alpha05 were made public for easiser experimental testing in prod:),
but still considered as internal, that might change in future
such methods are named with
_
prefix, following kind of Python lang style of "still publically accessible private" methods:) use such methods on your own risk, take into account that they might be marked as obsolete in future yet, they will be eather renamed or made completely internal till stable 1.0 release;) read CHANGELOG for more details.
- added
Be.Not.*
andHave.No.*
as entry points to "negated conditions" .ShouldNot
is obsolete now, use.Should(Be.Not.*)
or.Should(Have.No.*)
instead- added
Condition#Not
property,Condition#Or(condition)
,Condition#And(condition)
- added condition-builder classes, yet marked as internal
Not<TEntity> : Condition<TEntity>
Or<TEntity> : Condition<TEntity>
And<TEntity> : Condition<TEntity>
- yet they might be renamed in future... to something like NotCondition, OrConditioin, AndCondition
- let's finalize the naming in #53
- added condition-builder classes, yet marked as internal
- added SeleneElement extensions
.JsScrollIntoView()
.JsClick(centerXOffset=0, centerYOffset=0)
- proper tests coverage is yet needed
- the same can be achieved through (can be handy when storing element in var)
element.With(clickByJs: true).Click()
.JsSetValue(value)
- the same can be achieved through
element.With(setValueByJs: true).SetValue(value)
- the same can be achieved through
.JsType(value)
- the same can be achieved through
element.With(typeByJs: true).Type(value)
- the same can be achieved through
- made Configuration.* ThreadLocal
- added SeleneElement methods:
WaitUntil(Condition)
– like Should, but returns false on failureMatching(Condition)
- the predicate, like WaitUntil but without waitingWith([driver], [timeout], [pollDuringWaits], [setValueByJs], [typeByJs], [clickByJs])
- to override corresponding selene setting from Configuration- usage:
element.With(timeout: 2.0)
- usage:
_With_(_SeleneSettings_)
option to fully disconnect element config from shared Configuration- underscores mean that method signature might change...
- usage:
element._With_(Configuration.New(timeout: 2.0))
- added SeleneCollection methods:
WaitUntil(Condition)
– like Should, but returns false on failureMatching(Condition)
- the predicate, like WaitUntil but without waitingWith([driver], [timeout], [pollDuringWaits], [setValueByJs], [typeByJs], [clickByJs])
- to override corresponding selene setting from Configuration_With_(_SeleneSettings_)
option to fully disconnect element config from shared Configuration- underscores mean that method signature might change...
- usage:
elements._With_(Configuration.New(timeout: 2.0))
- added SeleneDriver methods:
WaitUntil(Condition)
– like Should, but returns false on failureMatching(Condition)
- the predicate, like WaitUntil but without waitingWith([driver], [timeout], [pollDuringWaits], [setValueByJs], [typeByJs], [clickByJs])
- to override corresponding selene setting from Configuration_With_(_SeleneSettings_)
option to fully disconnect element config from shared Configuration- underscores mean that method signature might change...
- usage:
elements._With_(Configuration.New(timeout: 2.0))
- tuned selene elements representation in error messages
- now code like
SS(".parent").FilterBy(Be.Visible)[0].SS(".child").FindBy(Have.CssClass("special")).S("./following-sibling::*")
- renders to:
Browser.All(.parent).By(Visible)[0].All(.child).FirstBy(has CSS class 'special').Element(./following-sibling::*)
- now code like
- improved waiting (waits not just for visibility but till "being passed") at SeleneElement's:
- (... wait till visible and not overlapped)
- Click()
- Hover()
- DoubleClick()
- Submit()
- Clear()
- SetValue(keys)
- Type(keys)
- PressEnter()
- PressEscape()
- PressTab()
- (... wait till visible for all but
input[type=file]
)- SendKeys(keys)
- (... wait till visible and not overlapped)
- upgraded waiting to new engine in asserts (.Should(condition)) of
- SeleneElement
- SeleneCollection
- Deprecated (Marked as Obsolete)
Configuration.WebDriver
(useConfiguration.Driver
instead)- it also becomes a recommended wa
- to set driver:
Configuration.Driver = myDriverInstance
- over
Selene.SetWebDriver(myDriverInstance)
- that might be deprecated in future
- over
- also take into account that in frameworks like NUnit3,
when you tear down driver in OneTimeTearDown (that will be executed after all test methods)
ensure you do this by calling
Quit
on your own instance likemyDriverInstance.Quit()
DON'T do it likeConfiguration.Driver.Quit()
orSelene.GetWebDriver().Quit()
cause this will lead in memory leaked driver, this is NUnit thing, not NSelene:) (you still can do the latter in TearDown method that will be executed after each test method)
- to set driver:
- it also becomes a recommended wa
- potential breaking changes:
- Switched to System.TimeoutException in some waits (instead of WebDriverTimeoutException)
- added
SeleneElement#Type(string keys)
, i.e.S(selector).Type(text)
- with wait for visibility built in
- changed in
SeleneElement#SendKeys(string keys)
, i.e.S(selector).SendKeys(keys)
- the wait from Be.Visible to Be.InDom
- to enable its usage for file upload
- but can break some tests, where the "wait for visibility" is needed in context of "typing text"
- this should be fixed in further versions
- added
Configuration.SetValueByJs
,false
by default
-
reformatted project to the SDK-style
-
switched target framework from net45 to netstandard2.0
- adding support of net45 is considered to be added soon
-
removed all obsolete things deprecated till 0.0.0.7 inclusive
-
removed dependency to Selenium.Support
- it's not used anymore anywhere in NSelene
-
updated Selenium.Webdriver dependency to 3.141.0
-
added Have.No.CssClass and Have.No.Attribute
-
S(selector)
and other similar methods now also accepts string with xpath -
removed from API (marked internal) yet unreleased:
- NSelene.With.*
-
kept deprecated:
- NSelene.Selectors.ByCss
- NSelene.Selectors.ByLinkText
-
other
- restructured tests a bit
- removed NSeleneExamples from the solution
- left a few examples in NSeleneTests
- updated selenium version to 3.141
- deprecated:
- Selectors.ByCss
- Selectors.ByLinkText
- added:
- With.Type
- With.Value
- With.IdContains
- With.Text
- With.ExactText
- With.Id
- With.Name
- With.ClassName
- With.XPath
- With.Css
- With.Attribute
- With.AttributeContains
- Upgraded selenium support to >= 3.5.2.
- added
- Selene.WaitTo(Condition) method and SeleneDriver#Should correspondingly
- Conditions.JSReturnedTrue (Have.JSReturnedTrue)
- SeleneElement#GetProperty (from IWebElement of 3.5.2 version)
Should not break anything in this version (because "old names" was just marked as deprecated and will be removed completely in next version):
- renamed
- Config to Configuration
- Browser to SeleneDriver
- SElement to SeleneElement
- SCollection to SeleneCollection
- Utils to Selene to be more "selenide like" (which has com.codeborn.selenide.Selenide class as a container for utility methods) and make name more conceptual
- Selene.SActions() to Selene.Actions and make it property
- Be.InDOM to Be.InDom (according to standard naming convention)
- closed access to (made private/or internal)
- SElement#Actions
- SeleneElement and SeleneCollection constructors (internal) In order to leave ability to rename classes, if one day we extract SeleneElement/SeleneCollection as interfaces. It's ok because we do not create their objects via constructors, but via Selene.S/Selene.SS, etc.
- removed
- SElement#SLocator property
Breaking changes:
- Left only the following aliasses:
- SeleneElement: Find, FindAll, Should, ShouldNot;
- SeleneCollection: Should, ShouldNot
- SeleneDriver: Find, FindAll Everything else moved to NSelene.Support.Extensions, so to fix code: you have to add additional "using" statement It is recommended though to use these extensions only as "examples", because there are too much of them. The latter may lead to confusion in usage. Usually the user will need only some of them. So better to "copy&paste" needed ones to user's project namespace.
- changed Be.Blank() to Be.Blank (refactored to property);
- enhanced interoperability with raw selenium. Now implicit waits for visibility can be added to all PageFactory webelements just via decorating new SDriver(driver); And all explicit driver calls for finding both IWebElement and IList will produce NSelene proxy alternatives with both implicit waits for visibility and for indexed webelements of collections.
- refactored all "static variable" conditions to be "static properties", which should ensure stability for parallel testing
- Changed License to "MIT License"
- added object oriented wrapper over WebDriver - implemented in Browser class
- which makes it much easier to integrate NSelene to existing selenium based frameworks
- and supports "creating several drivers per test"
- enhanced error messages via adding locators of elements and some other useful info when describing errors of failed search by condition in a list
- Added parallel drivers support and upgraded Selenium to 2.53.0
- Stabilized version with main functionality, not optimised for speed, but yet fast enough and you will hardly notice the difference:)
- Initial "pretty draft" version with basic features ported
