ANN: selenium 2 dev

2010-06-08 Thread Miki 
Hello All,

This is the first release of Selenium 2 Python bindings. It contains
the
Selenium 1 Python bindings and a working Selenium 2 remote client.

The plan in the future is to add Firefox, IE and Chrome "direct"
bindings as
well.

Please note this is ALPHA quality code, so expect bugs (and report
them at
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues)

Installing
==
pip install -U selenium

Using
=

Server
--
You'll need the Selenium 2 server (Java). Download it from
http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-server-standalone-2.0a4.jar

The run the server with "java -jar selenium-server-
standalone-2.0a4.jar"

Example
---
from selenium.remote import connect
from selenium import FIREFOX
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from time import sleep

browser = connect(FIREFOX) # Get local session of firefox
browser.get("http://www.yahoo.com";) # Load page
assert browser.get_title() == "Yahoo!"
elem = browser.find_element_by_name("p") # Find the query box
elem.send_keys("selenium\n")
sleep(0.2) # Let the page load, will be added to the API
try:
browser.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'http://
seleniumhq.org')]")
except NoSuchElementException:
assert 0, "can't find seleniumhq"
browser.close()


Happy testing,

ANN: unittest 0.4.2 released

2010-06-08 Thread Michael Foord 

unittest2 0.4.2 is now released:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/unittest2/

unittest2 is a backport of the new features in the Python 2.7 version of 
the standard library testing framework unittest.


The major improvements over unittest in Python 2.6 include:

* A standard test runner with automatic test discovery
* Improved command line options - fail fast, control-c catching and 
buffering standard out

* Many new assert methods
* Improvements to assertRaises (as context manager) and 
assertAlmostEqual (delta keyword argument)

* Class and module level setup and teardown
* Cleanup functions for better resource handling
* Test skipping and expected failures
* Lots of other minor changes and improvements

For more details see:

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/unittest2.shtml

Version 0.4.2 has feature parity with the version of unittest in Python 
2.7 RC 1. There are a few bug fixes since version 0.4.1.


2010/06/06 - 0.4.2
--

Improved help message for ``unit2 discover -h``.

SkipTest in unittest.TestCase.setUpClass or setUpModule is now reported 
as a

skip rather than an error.

Excessively large diffs due to ``TestCase.assertSequenceEqual`` are no
longer included in failure reports. (Controlled by ``TestCase.maxDiff``.)

Matching files during test discovery is done in 
``TestLoader._match_path``. This
method can be overriden in subclasses to, for example, match on the full 
file

path instead of the name only or use regular expressions for matching.

Addition of a setuptools compatible entrypoint for the unit2 test runner 
script.

Contributed by Chris Withers.

Tests fixed to be compatible with Python 2.7, where deprecation warnings 
are

silenced by default.

Feature parity with unittest in Python 2.7 RC 1.

All the best,

Michael Foord
