Selenium Command Language Reference (Selenese)

Selenium implements a domain specific language (DSL) named Selenese. PushToTest implements the SeleniumHtmlUnit object library in TestMaker to operate Selenese commands in HtmlUnit. Here is a reference to the Selenese commands and a list of unumplemented Selenese commands in SeleniumHtmlUnit.

Unimplemented Selenese Commands

SeleniumHTMLUnit is a TestMaker object library that translates Selenese commands on-to-fly and runs the commands using the HTMLUnit headless browser. Some Selenese commands do not make sense in a TestMaker context. For example, TestMaker provides cookie management commands of its own. The following is a list of Selenese commands not implemented in SeleniumHTMLUnit. TestMaker throws a NotImplemented exception when encountering one of the following commands:

altKeyDown	getAlert	getTable	mouseMoveAt
altKeyUp	getAllButtons	getWhetherThisFrameMatchFrameExpression	mouseUpAt
answerOnNextPrompt	getAllFields	getWhetherThisWindowMatchWindowExpression	openWindow
captureScreenshot	getAllLinks	getWhetherThisWindowMatchWindowExpression	refresh
chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation	getAllWindowIds	getXpathCount	setBrowserLogLevel
chooseOkOnNextConfirmation	getAllWindowNames	highlight	setContext
clickAt	getAllWindowTitles	isAlertPresent	setCursorPosition
close	getAttributeFromAllWindows	isConfirmationPresent	setMouseSpeed
controlKeyDown	getBodyText	isEditable	shiftKeyDown
controlKeyUp	getConfirmation	isOrdered	shiftKeyUp
controlKeyUp	getCookie	isPromptPresent	start
createCookie	getCursorPosition	keyDown	submit
deleteCookie	getElementHeight	keyPress	typeKeys
doubleClick	getElementIndex	keyUp	waitForFrameToLoad
doubleClickAt	getElementPositionLeft	metaKeyDown	waitForPopUp
dragAndDrop	getElementPositionTop	metaKeyUp	windowFocus
dragAndDropToObject	getElementWidth	mouseDownAt	windowMaximize
dragdrop	getExpression	mouseMove
fireEvent	getLocation
	getMouseSpeed
	getPrompt
