PHP interaction with Selenium Webdriver API

##Description

This library allows the interaction with Selenium Server V2 in PHP. It communicates with the WebDriver API through the official JsonWireProtocol.

One of the goals is to provide a client usage as close as possible to the Selenium Official libraries (such as Java's, c#'s). Most methods are named as the same as of these libraries'. In this way, whenever a developer runs into ideas or documentation in Java Client, the same techniques can be implemented by using this library.

##Quickstart

  • Start a session by creating an instance of WebDriver. By default, the test will run in firefox

      $driver = new WebDriver();
    
  • As an alternative you can define desired capabilities for the session

      $desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities("chrome");
      $driver = new WebDriver($desiredCapabilities);
    
  • Navigate by using the WebDriver::get method from the WebDriver Class

      $driver->get("www.nearsoft.com");
    
  • Get elements from the DOM in current location

      $textbox1 = $driver->findElement(By::id("someTextBoxId"));
      
      $button1 = $driver->findElement(By::cssSelector("html body div#content input#someButtonId"));
    
  • Manipulate located elements

      $textbox1->sendKeys("Some text to send");
      
      $textbox1->getAttribute("value");
      
      $button1->click();
    
  • Find element within elements

      $modal1->findElement(By::id("someModalId"));
      $listItems = $modal1->findElements(By::tagName("li"));
    
  • Switch between windows

      $driver->switchTo()->window("windowName");
    
  • Manage alerts $alert = $driver->switchTo()->alert(); $alert->getText(); $alert->accept(); $alert->dismiss();

  • Wait for elements to be present

      $webElement = $driver->waitForElementUntilIsPresent(By::id("someElementId"));
      
      //or
      
      $wait = new WebDriverWait(8);
      $webElement = $wait->until($driver,"findElement",array(By::id("someElementId"),true));
