I'm starting out using Selenium 2/Webdriver, been using Selenium IDE for a few weeks, to automate some tests and decided to go with Python. I've been writing some simple tests using some basic documentation that I found: http://readthedocs.org/docs/selenium-python/en/latest/index.html

While this documentation is good to start off, I noticed it's missing a lot of other commands that I'm used to using with Selenium IDE, such as verifying and asserting text/elements. Eventually I'd like to put some conditionals in my tests, so being able to do an assert and seeing if that returned true or false would be helpful, but I have no idea how to do that.

Is there any detailed documentation online?

  • Previously, I found nothing helpful so just used a combination of the Java documentation, web examples and built-in docstrings to try and work it out; but thanks for pointing this out, it's the most comprehensive documentation I've seen yet.

  • Yeah, I ran into the same problem. You can, however, obtain the Python library and run pydoc on it. The comments are in there; unfortunately the Selenium Python documentation is not autogenerated and published :( Commented Oct 26, 2011 at 3:53

As it happens, that isn't (as far as I can tell) the official documentation, which is here: http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/index.html (Link is dead)

Official documentation is here : https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/py/api.html

(And which does have the full API reference.)

There is an documentation provided here by Balaji Muthukundan. This is not an official one but it is pretty detailed and systematic. I often refer this documentation for any help regarding Selenium API's.
