Start with Ruby WebDriver - Procedure to create first test script for the beginners

Setup of Ruby and Selenium 2

1. Download ruby setup file  from url http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads . Install the executable file into your system and set Ruby as Environmental variable into your system.
2. Open command prompt and check “ruby  -v “ to verify ruby installation and path setup.
3. After ruby installation run below command for selenium2 installation.

gem install selenium-webdriver

Create First Test Scripts:

Capture your test scenario using selenium Ide. import test script into Ruby/ Test::Unit /Webdriver and save as a .rb file in your machine. I have created below a sample Google search script.

require "selenium-webdriver"
gem "test-unit"

require "test/unit"

class Google < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup

    @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

    @base_url = "https://www.google.co.in/"

    @accept_next_alert = true

    @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 30

  end

 

  def teardown

    @driver.quit   

  end

 

  def test_Google

    @driver.get(@base_url + "/")

    @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfq").clear

    @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfq").send_keys "testing"

    @driver.find_element(:id, "gbqfb").click

  end

 

  def element_present?(how, what)

    @driver.find_element(how, what)

    true

  rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError

    false

  end

 

  def verify(&blk)

    yield

  rescue Test::Unit::AssertionFailedError => ex

    @verification_errors << ex

  end 

end

 Open command prompt and Go to created script folder and run command.

  ruby TestFlleName

Test should be executed and after execution screen should look like as below.
