WebdriverIO Table Tester

Get tables’ columns’ text with WebdriverIO.

Setup

1. First, you’ll need the selenium standalone server. Make sure you have the JDK (try running javac -version to see if you have it.) Then, follow steps 2 and 3 on WebdriverIO’s Getting Started guide. Version 2.45.0 is the latest at the time of writing. If the guide suggests a new version you will need to update the .jar file reference in package.json.
2. Install dependencies with npm install.
3. Make sure you have Firefox as WebdriverIO uses it by default. (You can change this via the options variable at the top of test.js.)

Firing It Up

This project uses http-server to serve up its index.html file. test.js uses WebdriverIO to examine this file. Here’s how to fire up selenium and the server:

• Run npm run serve to fire up the local server. You can navigate to localhost:8080 and see the file.
• Run npm start in another terminal tab/window to fire up the selenium server.

You’re now ready to run the tests! In yet another terminal tab/window, run npm test. This will output test results in the terminal.
