Question

The page I am trying to test sets the value of ‘global variables’. From the Firebug, I can access those as properties of the window object (e.g. window.foo).

From Selenium however, typeof selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().foo always return ‘undefined’, say when used in the condition of a waitForCondition. Any idea of what I could be doing wrong?

Answer 1

I think it cant be done, it could be done in greasemonkey using unsafeWindow, however that doesnt work in selenium. i tried to do it using

 addLocationStrategy zzz return prompt(inWindow.a); 

and than

 click zzz=xxx 

but i cant access it. if you have any ideas how to do it let me know.

if its your page maybe you could keep that variable in some html control. its a hack, but …..
