looks like the layout chanced in some behat or selenium version, so i've got that done now. looks like headless is only in the beta chrome of 59 though. suck

hello, how to check if an element exists on the page without generating an exception if it does not?

Hi guys. I am trying to run some tests using the Firefox Webdriver, but it seems that it is unable to access defined variables as explained here:

Is there any solution to this?

niemann the issue looks to be fixed (at least that's what github says)

what is your issue?

p0deje My issue is that if I declare a variable and want to access it later is is seemingly not defined, eg.:

IJavaScriptExecutor js = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver; js.ExecuteScript("var test = 55;"); var result = js.ExecuteScript("return test + 1;");

This throws an exception since the "test" variable is apparently not defined

yeah, that's expected

your variable is only scoped to the script

if you need to make available globally, you should define it for "window"

"window.test = 55;"

"return window.test + 1"

Ahh I see - that makes sense! Thanks :)

Anyone know a 'good' way to debug Behave (python). As ipdb / pdb doesn't work within the page object models. The 'after_all' method in the environment to catch failures, just drops me into a rather unless behave assertion code.
