hi, gang. okay, i will ask once more who's willing to push out a release this week? i, unfortunately, am booked for nearly the entire week, so can't push a java release. i can manage a .NET and IE driver release, because those require comparatively little effort.

I'm ready to do what needs to be done on the Ruby side, now that I have permissions to the gem

Hi guys...

Has anyone here ever tried to use selenium as a data generator?

i need to make something like that... But im not sure if selenium is the best option for it

selenium is slow...

yeah :/

but if it fits your needs you can cook something up

im thinking about business rule...

with selenium the business rule is abstracted... its like the real user doing it.

with JMeter, i will not consider some javascript/browser rules

so... if the develop team make changes on Ajax request, api call, my configuration will break

with selenium i dont need to care with it. The developers should fix the site to implement the change

and my code will still work

what kind of data are you trying to generate?

jleyba: its a e-commerce. I need to create some cases...

like create account, add address, add card, create order, register to a club

i've made this all with selenium

but its really slow

i'm thinking about do it with JMeter

but i'm not sure if the best way

How do I get a named cookie in selenium-webdriver with chrome (node)? I'm using this.driver.manage().Cookies.GetCookieNamed(<cookiename>) but it's saying 'GetCookieNamed' is not a function

asxbr, does your backend have an api you can manipulate directly rather than going over HTTP?

:api

.NET: http://goo.gl/uutZjZ | Java: http://goo.gl/Grc6tm | Ruby: http://goo.gl/jzh4RU | Python: http://goo.gl/sG1GfQ | Javascript: http://goo.gl/hohAut

grepped, driver.manage().options().getCookie('foo')

jleyba: yes. the frontend do all using ajax requests

(to the api)

grepped, also see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/mas...

jleyba: Thanks. Looking like options() is undefined though. I tried this.driver.manage().options().getCookie("foo")

are you using selenium-webdriver?

yes

do you have a repo caes I could look at? (:gist)

Please paste >3 lines of text to https://gist.github.com

jleyba: https://gist.github.com/grepped/96caf8efd24befa...

Line 43 is the issue

sorry, I gave you the wrong code

it's driver.manage().getCookie('foo')

hi, does anyone happen to know how i can grab all the 'th' elements under the first 'tr'. trying to avoid xpath since it's last performant and my css grabs all the 'th' elements under both 'tr' for some reason: #sitelist-table_wrapper .table thead > tr:nth-of-type(1) > th

eindoofus, break it up into multiple queries

findElement(By.css("#sitelist-table_wrapper .table thead > tr:nth-of-type(1)")).findElements(By.css("th"))

jleyba: Awesome, I'll try that out. thanks for the help

nice :). didn't know that was possible :)

eindoofus, yup.. an unlike xpath, using css on a WebElement will always use the WebElement as the search root

jleyba: That's working but it's giving me an object with closure_uids etc, how would i get string output from that command?

jleyba, in the end though that looks like what i'm already doing. why doesn't it work as is already?

grepped, Are you unwrapping the promise? getCookie('foo').then(function(cookie) {...})

jleyba: Nope I wasn't. that's it, working perfectly :)
