Question

Selenium seems to be pausing for about a minute between each step (I haven’t seen less than 60 seconds). Even steps that should be simple (like setSpeed) run at the same rate.

However, when I use the PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase class, I am able to run tests at normal speed. (Also, the slow steps run fine on a coworker’s computer.)

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

Here is the slow test:

debug_time(); // 0

require_once 'Testing/Selenium.php';
debug_time(); // 1

$s = new Testing_Selenium('*firefox', "http://google.com/");
debug_time(); // 2

$s->setSpeed(0);
debug_time(); // 3

$s->start();
debug_time(); // 4

var_export($s->getSpeed());
echo "\n";
debug_time(); // 5

$s->open('/');
debug_time(); // 6

$s->stop();
debug_time(); // 7

echo "done";

Here is the output for the slow test:

0 => 18:01:54.44488 (+ 0.00000)
1 => 18:01:54.45478 (+ 0.00990)
2 => 18:01:54.45645 (+ 0.00167)
3 => 18:02:54.97334 (+ 60.51688)
4 => 18:04:03.59346 (+ 68.62013)
NULL
5 => 18:05:04.11214 (+ 60.51867)
6 => 18:06:05.83747 (+ 61.72534)
7 => 18:07:06.63492 (+ 60.79744)
done

Here is the fast test, taken from the PHPUnit manual:

require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';

class WebTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
    protected function setUp()
    {
        $this->setBrowser('*firefox');
        $this->setBrowserUrl('http://google.com/');
    }

    public function testTitle()
    {
        $this->open('/');
        $this->assertTitleEquals('Example Web Page');
    }
}

The same here. Downgrade to Testing_Selenium-0.4.3 helped. Trying to find the reason. May be PHP5.3?
