JQSelenium

General Information

This library was inspired by SeleniumJQuery (made by Nthalk for java, https://github.com/Nthalk/SeleniumJQuery). this C# library provides better usage than the jQuery Executor that comes with Selenium WebDriver.

Installation

You can either download the source from this site OR you can install JQSelenium from nuget using 'install-package jqselenium'.

Function Summary

The library provides the main manipulation methods in jQuery:

• add
• addClass
• after
• andSelf

• prevAll
• remove

The functions try to mimic the jQuery usage, so for further reference go to the jQuery documentation

What do you need?

You only need to have the Selenium WebDriver (you can find it here), import it into your project:

using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;

and a basic understading of jQuery.

How to?

The library is based in three structures: First you have a jQueryFactory. It recieves the WebDriver and executes the queries:

var driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("URL-you-want-to-test");
var jqf = new JQueryFactory(driver);

Then you can execute queries with the Query method:

    jqf.Query("body");

The Query method returns a jQuerySelector wich is a list of jQueryTags, from any jQuerySelector or jQueryTag you can execute any of the methods listed above and that way you interact with the DOM.

Example

var driver = new FirefoxDriver(); // new webDriver
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://api.jquery.com/find/"); //Navigate to the URL
var jqf = new JQueryFactory(driver); //Create the jQueryFactory
var _testing_selector = jqf.Query("h1"); //Query the element in the DOM you want to access
var _new_text = "Probando";
var _new_tag = "<p id = \"jQ-selenium\">" + _new_text + "</p>"; //new Element in the DOM will be added
_testing_selector.after(_new_tag); //Adds the element after the previously queried element

You can see more examples in the JQSelenium.Specs folder.
