NAME

Selenium::UserAgent - Emulate mobile devices by setting user agents when using webdriver

VERSION

version 0.11

SYNOPSIS

my $sua = Selenium::UserAgent->new(
    browserName => 'chrome',
    agent => 'iphone'
);

my $caps = $sua->caps;
my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new_from_caps(%$caps);

DESCRIPTION

This package will help you test your websites on mobile devices by convincing your browsers to masquerade as a mobile device. You can start up Firefox or Chrome with the same user agents that your mobile browsers would send, along with the same screen resolution and layout.

Although the experience may not be 100% the same as manually testing on an actual mobile device, the advantage of testing this way is that you hardly need any additional infrastructure if you've already got a webdriver testing suite set up.

ATTRIBUTES

browserName

Required: specify which browser type to use. Currently, we only support Chrome and Firefox.

my $sua = Selenium::UserAgent->new(
    browserName => 'chrome',
    agent => 'ipad'
);

agent

Required: specify which mobile device type to emulate. Your options are:

iphone4
iphone5
iphone6
iphone6plus
ipad_mini
ipad
galaxy_s3
galaxy_s4
galaxy_s5
galaxy_note3
nexus4
nexus9
nexus10

These are more specific than the choices for device agent in previous versions of this module, but to preserve existing functionality, the following conversions are made to the deprecated device selections:

iphone         => "iphone4"
ipad_seven     => "ipad"
android_phone  => "nexus4"
android_tablet => "nexus10"

The exact resolutions and user agents are included in the source and in the github repo; they're vetted against the values that Mozilla uses for Firefox.

Usage looks like:

my $sua = Selenium::UserAgent->new(
    browserName => 'chrome',
    agent => 'ipad'
);

orientation

Optional: specify the orientation of the mobile device. Your options are portrait or landscape; defaults to portrait.

METHODS

caps

Call this after initiating the ::UserAgent object to get the capabilities that you should pass to "new_from_caps" in Selenium::Remote::Driver. This function returns a hashref with the following keys:

• inner_window_size

  This will set the window size immediately after browser creation.

• desired_capabilities

  This will set the browserName and the appropriate options needed.

If you're using Firefox and you'd like to continue editing the Firefox profile before passing it to the Driver, pass in unencoded => 1 as the argument to this function.
