selenium-travis

Selenium IDE, selenium-side-runner, and Travis CI.

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

This is an example repo that has Travis CI set up to run the selenium-side-runner command, which runs a Selenium IDE .side file, which was recorded by using a visual interface tool (a Chrome Extension called Selenium IDE). When I push a new commit, it creates a new build and shows test results on Travis CI here:

If you want to test out the selenium-side-runner command locally on your own computer, you can do this:

git clone https://github.com/hchiam/selenium-travis.git
cd selenium-travis
npm install # or: yarn

And then run this command:

npm run test # or: yarn test

Or just npm t. (Either way, it runs selenium-side-runner under the hood.)

Make sure to enable the specific GitHub repo in Travis CI

1. https://travis-ci.org/account/repositories
2. Search for the relevant GitHub repo
3. Hit the sliding button so it moves to the right / turns green

Some of the resources I learned from

• Chrome extension Selenium IDE. You can see the example .side file here.
• Commands used in that Chrome Extension.
• Overview video, starting at CLI steps (I skimmed this video).
• selenium-side-runner CLI command.
• Example GitHub repo that makes basic use of Travis CI.
• Example .travis.yml file by RustyNail that uses selenium-side-runner.
• First build for this repo that worked and how the .travis.yml file looked at the time

Aside

To skip running Travis CI upon commit, the commit message should contain [skip ci], or [ci skip], or [skip travis], etc. (ci, travis, travis ci, travis-ci, or travisci).
