Can anyone help with using Selenium-RC + Grails? I have used Selenium with Java but had no problem writing the code and launching the browser. But is the source code of my project required when i need to use Selenium-RC with Grails?

Any links to resources to learn will be very helpful.

    I am not sure I understand your question. Did something happen that suggested to you that using Selenium with grails might require accessing your web application's source code?

    You cannot do whitebox testing with Selenium. Selenium drives a browser to interact with a web page, is has no concept of the code layer behind the website (e.g. PHP, ASP, Ruby, etc).

  • @Ardesco, it might however be aware of JavaScript code on browser-side, correct?

    Depends on your definition of aware. You can add hooks into your JavaScript code that Selenium can use and you can use a JavascriptExecutor to use these hooks. You can also use a JavaScriptExecutor to run your own JavaScript (Basically exactly what an end user could do with a JavaScript console).
