Developer How-To

Setup a Selenium IDE Test Environment

Use these instructions to setup a Selendium-IDE test environment.

1. Install the Selenium-IDE Firefox extension
2. all tests are saved in the /testcases folder under the appropriate github repo
3. all tests should be numbered (test1.html, test2.html, etc) and documented briefly in the wiki documentation page for the project.
4. Never run test cases on production sites. We should expect them to be destructive.
5. It should be assumed that the root developer login in always available.
6. (developers only) When creating a test site, add the following code to the /includes/Contensiveconfig42.php page for the site to eliminate the frameworks serialized form system.

	//
	// bypass form serial numbers for automated testing 
	//
	$needle = 'ccFormSN" VALUE="';
	$snPos = stripos ( $s, $needle, 0 );
	while ($snPos !== false ) {
		$snPos += 17;
		$needle2 = '">';
		$snEnd = stripos( $s, $needle2, $snPos );
		$sn = substr($s, $snPos, ($snEnd - $snPos));
		$s = str_replace( $sn, "0",  $s );
		//$s .= '<br>ccFormSN sn=' . $sn;
		$snPos = stripos ( $s, $needle, $snEnd);
	}
	return $s;
