webdriverdemo

Just a very short demo of Selenium's WebDriver.

prerequisites

• Java JDK >= 7 (See Oracle JDK or OpenJDK)
• Maven 3
• Git
• Firefox

Note for Windows users: The instructions in this README are run from a console. This program is called cmd.exe. The program code can best be seen by another editor than notepad, since all code will be displayed on one line. Use something like Notepad++, UltraEdit, ... or use Wordpad. Also, forward slashes in file paths / are backward slashes \ in Windows.

Get the code

Open a console. On the command line, type:

git clone https://github.com/ghsnd/webdriverdemo.git

Now there is a new directory webdriverdemo, which contains the project source. cd to that directory.

cd webdriver

Build

To compile the source:

Open a console, go to the webdriverdemo directory, and type:

mvn compile

To make a runnable jar from the compiled code:

mvn package

Now, a file target/webdriverdemo-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar should be created.

Run

Still in the console, in the webdriverdemo directory, type:

java -jar target/webdriverdemo-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

This launches Firefox and navigates through the NMBS website http://www.belgianrail.be

Hack

The code is in webdriverdemo/src/main/java/be/ugent/mmlab/webdriver/Demo.java. Change the code, build, run and enjoy!
