Overview

A Python framework for writing robust Selenium tests.

Installation

As Bok Choy is a Python framework, you first need to install Python. If you’re running Linux or Mac OS X, you probably already have it installed. We recommend that you use pip to install your Python packages:

pip install bok_choy

Note

On Ubuntu Linux 18.04 you might have to install firefox-geckodriver (for Firefox) and/or chromium-chomedriver (for Chromium), especially if you hit the following Error when running bok_choy:

bok_choy.promise.BrokenPromise: Promise not satisfied: Browser is instantiated successfully.

Running Tests

To run the test suite for bok-choy itself:

Install Firefox; as of this writing, the current version 59.0.1 works with the latest selenium Python package (3.11.0)
Install phantomjs
Create a virtualenv which uses Python 3.8
With that virtualenv activated, run pip install -r requirements/ci.txt to install the tox testing tool and its dependencies
Run tox -e py38. If you want to run the tests in parallel, add the desired number of worker processes like tox -e py38 -- -n 5 or tox -e py38 -- -n auto.
To test and build the documentation, run tox -e doc
To run an individual test, run py.test tests/<test file>::<test class>::<test name>
