Pyrite - Easy Peasy Browser Testing

• mintdigital.github.com/pyrite

• github.com/mintdigital/pyrite

Description

Pyrite is a lightweight DSL around the Selenium browser testing framework.

We found Cucumber to be awesome, but no one was reading the features. We found Webrat to be fantastic, but way too complex for what we wanted. So, we made Pyrite - a few selenium-client methods wrapped up in a readable way.

Example

require 'pyrite_helper'
class BasicTest < Pyrite::PyriteTest
  test "it works" do
    visit root_path
    follow "next page"
    wait_for :page_load
    assert_text "some text you should see"
  end
end

Dependencies

Pyrite has no dependencies that you should have to install manually. Gem installation should pull in the necessary selenium libraries.

You will need an operating system and browser capable of running Selenium

Install

We recommend you use bundler:

gem 'pyrite', '0.5.0', :require => false

Installing as a Rails plugin should also work:

script/plugin install git://github.com/mintdigital/pyrite.git
