Selenium: Ajax Testing

Question

Please brief me about the Ajax testing with selenium RC. As in Ajax element does not reflect on the view-source, but using firebug we can see the changes in HTML source code.

There are two methods associated with it..

1. The method waitForCondition (java.lang.String script, java.lang.String timeout), to provide script we have to create a java script by own or it should be the same Ajax script/java script present on the web page.

Please correct me if i am wrong on below point:

2. The method waitForElementPresent(Locator), we check the Element in the firebug and check the same in this method is self waitForElementPresent(Locator).

Let me know if anything else I am missing testing Ajax application.

Answer 1

I already gave an example on a similar question which can be used to wait for Ajax and javascripts to finish.

Here it is:

selenium.waitForCondition(
        "selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().jQuery.active == 0",
        timeout);

Cheers!

Answer 2

You could you wait for condition like this -

selenium.waitForCondition("selenium.isElementPresent(\"element locator\")", "waitPeriod")

Hence you need to write the wait condition and here in I have used one of the Selenium API it self
