do you mean alerts that will pause the test?

any kind of popup for the user

I would also like to pause the test, yes

well, you could have the driver execute a Javascript alert

use a breakpoint? :)

driver.execute_script("alert('hello world');")

that is blocking

don't do that

yeah...

:s

well they want to pause the test, so maybe that's what they want?

driver.execute_script("setTimeout(function(){alert('hello world');}, 1)")

I would like to pause the test, yes

pause it until the user accepts the alert?

Where should I include that?

maybe...

Sorry, I'm new to the IDE

oh in the IDE?

oh, ide

Yes, sr

sry

:ide ;)

sorry i assumed you were using webdriver

Selenium IDE is no longer being maintained. You can ask a question, but most people here will be unable to help you. Instead, consider using WebDriver - http://www.seleniumhq.org/projects/webdriver/

oh, oops

I find the IDE so easy to use tho

I am so many test cases

you can export them ;)

I love the ability to quickly use page functionality

to WebDriver

oh, good idea

you might need to do some light cleanup after that, but you do always have that option

What do I output it to?

a programming language of your choice :)

Ok, thanks :-)

alexcreamer: export to Webdriver in whichever language you wanna use. I think there's also a "remove" option, only use that one if you're going to hook it up to a Grid or something (but you can always change it afterwards anyway)

er, "remote," not "remove"

was certainly kind of the evil tester http://seleniumsimplified.com/2016/07/first-imp...

ooo test failures mentioned in that

13selenium/06master 1479d02a1 15Luke Inman-Semerau: bumping version to beta2

13selenium/06master 1437d3b6b 15Luke Inman-Semerau: System Property DRIVER_USE_MARIONETTE if set in java or command line arg with server will ignore desired capabilities and force marionette when true or force legacy firefox driver when false. Default unset, listens to capabilities requested.

lukeis: did you do a python release last night?

nope

see davehunt's concerns in the :log

from about 6 hours ago

lukeis: the pre-release suffix stuff?

yeah 3.0.0b1 or whatever he said

lukeis: I was planning on doing that

+1

doeet

looks like jimevans did his .net release

jimevans: there going to be a IE Driver release too? or are you going to break the tie to selenium versions on that ;)

there has literally been no change in the IE code base since the last 2.x public release.

i imaged so

imagined*

i can do an IE release, but i'm not entirely sure i see the point, other than to make it easier for folks to find.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ old one is linked from downloads page

then i'm not going to bother for now. maybe later.

i wouldn't mind you starting to tag it and release as IEDriverServer.JimsRelease.1

then just increment from there ;)

we can refer to the old versions as BJ …. Before Jim of course

jimevans: I have written some c# code...

I am redirecting stdout/stderr to a file in the service

are you happy for a change like this

AutomatedTester: and you're doing that because… ?

jimevans: I was having issues with GeckoDriver and the error message from DriverService wasnt helping me with the cause

It just says "Can't connect to the service"

where, at least GeckoDriver outputs what could be wrong

and could guide the user

we also output a log that way if people get stuck that we can debug from

and GeckoDriver doesn't allow you to redirect its output to a file (like every other command-line driver service?)

if you dont want it, then thats fine too

not at the moment

AutomatedTester: one sec.

jimevans: the error message is so generic that it doesnt even suggest setting logging on the other services

no, and it wouldn't. in the common case, the driver's console output would be echoed to the console, but i think nunit may actually be the one overriding that.

(in other words, nunit is fucking with things it oughtn't be)

but that's not really germane to the discussion at hand

well... it might be

if NUnit is being a twat then assuming it has 30% market share, there is 30% of users who are "WTF is it not working douche service"

if you want to add something to FirefoxDriverService class that does this, i won't scream too much, but both IE and chrome driver server executables already provide a mechanism for writing to a log file, and their respective service classes expose that functionality via properties on the object.

jimevans: ok, I will do it at as a stop gap and mention it as such

and will raise a bug to get GeckoDriver to take a --log argument

if you want to make the base class's Start() method virtual and override it, i wouldn't kick.

but yes, GeckoDriver probably ought to provide that… :)

ok... I will clean up the code and do land it later

13selenium/06master 145f3ee5a 15AutomatedTester: Bump Python to 3.0.0.b1 for prerelease

lukeis: were you in the office yesterday?

yes

did you see the low flying c-130 ?

no

don't have much of a view from my current desk

apparently there was one flying at a couple thousand feet over the city yesterday

yay! I got the pre release stuff correct

(cert) dburns in ~/development/selenium on master λ pip install selenium -U --pre

w00t

without the --pre it installs 2.53.6

to the twitters

and this is why i didn't attempt to do the python release ;)

I had no idea what I was doing either

python packaging isnt the greatest

at least the pip folks made it sane-ish

also… relevant http://selenium-memes.tumblr.com/post/130843272...

AutomatedTester: i thought you had the no idea dog in the memes… i think that needs to be fixed ;)

"Son of a Mongoose!"

lukeis: http://selenium-memes.tumblr.com/image/70318862894 is more relevant :D

doh

lemme get the proper link

god tumblr is awful

no… that's exactly why i didn't attempt this beta release :-D

titusfortner: you fix the passphrase thing yet? ;)

Either we use a Unix utility (so won't work on Windows) or we upgrade our damn JRuby

i will never use windows to deploy maven

or we do whatever you did last time to make it work. :-D

i hard coded my password in the Rakefile.

no thanks

no one uses maven

so you'd be happy if I got it working for Unix?

titusfortner: most people are on posix environments

Just saying Simon said no when I suggested it

but if it is better than what we have...

just wanted to know if it was sufficiently better

sounds like it, so I'll work on it

titusfortner: something is better than nothing

I can speak to Simon if need be

He also told me it probably wasn't worth updating our JRuby at this point

seriously... of the handful of people who can release... who uses windows as a dev environment

does jimevans even use it as a dev environment?

or is all of it VM for him? :)
