lib/selenium/client/base.rb

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Object

Create a new client driver

Example:

Selenium::Client::Driver.new \

:host => "localhost",
:port => 4444,
:browser => "*firefox",
:timeout_in_seconds => 10,
:url => "http://localhost:3000",

You can also set the default javascript framework used for :wait_for AJAX and effects semantics (:prototype is the default value):

Selenium::Client::Driver.new \

:host => "localhost",
:port => 4444,
:browser => "*firefox",
:timeout_in_seconds => 10,
:url => "http://localhost:3000",
:javascript_framework => :jquery

You can also enables automatic highlighting of located elements by passing the highlight_located_element option, e.g.

Selenium::Client::Driver.new \

:host => "localhost",
:port => 4444,
:browser => "*firefox",
:highlight_located_element => true
