Question

Please brief me about the Ajax testing with selenium RC.
As in Ajax element not reflect on the view-source, but using firebug we can see the changes in HTML source code.

There are two methods associated with it Ajax testing..

1-The method “waitForCondition (java.lang.String script, java.lang.String timeout), to provide script we have to create a java script by own or it should be the same Ajax script/java script present on the web page.

Please correct me if i am wrong on below point..

2-The method “waitForElemantPresent(Locator)”, We check the Element in the firebug and check the same in this method is self waitForElemantPresent(Locator).

Let me know if anything else I am missing testing Ajax application.

Answer 1

I got help on this from one article and with help of @Hannibal

JQuery: “jQuery.active”

Prototype: “Ajax.activeRequestCount”

Dojo: “dojo.io.XMLHTTPTransport.inFlight.length”

So if there is Ajax call we can use second option.

selenium.waitForCondition(
        "selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().jQuery.active == 0",
        timeout);
