User-Extensions js file with Selenium RC

1 –  Create user extensions file and place your user-extension.js file in the same directory where Selenium Server.

Run selenium server using below command.

java -jar selenium-server.jar -userExtensions user-extensions.js

Note: User extension file name must be same as user-extensions.js file 

2. Create an HttpCommandProcessor object with in class scope (outside the Test method)

selenium = new Def HttpCommandProcessor proc;

3. Instantiate that HttpCommandProcessor object as you would the DefaultSelenium object. This can be done in the Test setup method as created below.

proc = new HttpCommandProcessor("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "applicationURL");

4. Instantiate the DefaultSelenium object using the HttpCommandProcessor object as created below.

selenium = new DefaultSelenium(proc);

5. Within test code, execute user-extension by calling it with the DoCommand() method of HttpCommandProcessor. This method takes two arguments: a string to identify the user-extension method you want to use and string array to pass arguments.

String[] inputParams = {"10000"};

      proc.doCommand("waitForAjaxRequest", inputParams);

Note: First letter of your function is lower case, regardless of the capitalization in your user-extension file.

  

User-Extension files code:

Selenium.prototype.doWatchAjaxRequests = function() {

  selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().Ajax.Responders.register({

    onComplete: function() {Selenium.AjaxRequestFinished = true}

  });

}

Selenium.prototype.doWaitForAjaxRequest = function(timeout) {

  return Selenium.decorateFunctionWithTimeout(function() {

    if (Selenium.AjaxRequestFinished) {

      Selenium.AjaxRequestFinished = false;

      return true;

    }

    return false;

  }, timeout);

}

Selenium.AjaxRequestFinished = false;
