What is Selenium | connect to VNC through the web browser | Test docker selenium | Search

The runSeleniumCell function sets up a Selenium WebDriver session and executes a user-defined search within a web browser, leveraging imported functionalities for tasks like element manipulation and form interaction. It's designed to be reusable and can be integrated into a larger framework or library based on the presence of the $ global variable.

Run example

npm run import -- "run a selenium cell on the Docker machine"

run a selenium cell on the Docker machine

var importer = require('../Core');

function runSeleniumCell(search) {
    var createWebdriverClient = importer.import("webdriver client");
    var promise = createWebdriverClient();
    var isError = false;
    return promise
        .then(client => {
            var context = {
                client,
                browser: client
            };
            Object.assign(
                context,
                importer.import("decrypt password",
"all elements xpath",
"get all elements until",
"resize selenium window",
"click spa link",
"]",
"context"));
            Object.assign(
                context,
                importer.import("form utilities",
"context"))
            if(!search) {
                return context;
            }
            return importer.import("search",
"context");
        })
};
module.exports = runSeleniumCell;

if(typeof $ !== 'undefined') {
    console.log('this should not be hit!');
    $.async()
    runSeleniumCell('test docker selenium')
        .then(r => $.sendResult(r))
        .catch(e => $.sendError(e));
}

What the code could have been:

const importer = require('../Core');

/**
 * Runs a Selenium cell with the given search query.
 * 
 * @param {string} search - The search query to execute.
 * @returns {Promise<object>} A promise resolving to the context object containing the result.
 */
function runSeleniumCell(search) {
    // Import the required modules
    const { createWebdriverClient, formUtilities } = importer.import([
        'webdriver client',
        'form utilities',
    ]);

    // Create a promise to handle the asynchronous execution
    const promise = createWebdriverClient();
    
    // Flag to track if an error occurred
    let isError = false;

    // Return the promise chain
    return promise
       .then(client => {
            // Create the context object
            const context = {
                client,
                browser: client,
            };

            // Import and assign the required functions to the context
            Object.assign(context, importer.import([
                'decrypt password',
                'all elements xpath',
                'get all elements until',
               'resize selenium window',
                'click spa link',
            ], context));

            // Import and assign the form utilities to the context
            Object.assign(context, formUtilities(context));

            // If no search query is provided, return the context
            if (!search) {
                return context;
            }

            // Import and execute the search query in the context
            return importer.import(search, context);
        })
       .catch(error => {
            // If an error occurs, set the error flag and rethrow the error
            isError = true;
            throw error;
        });
}

// Export the runSeleniumCell function
module.exports = runSeleniumCell;

// TODO: Remove this if statement and use a more robust solution to handle $ dependency
if (typeof $!== 'undefined') {
    console.log('This should not be hit!');
    $.async().then(() => {
        runSeleniumCell('test docker selenium')
           .then(result => $.sendResult(result))
           .catch(error => $.sendError(error));
    });
}

This code defines a function runSeleniumCell that sets up a Selenium WebDriver session and executes a user-specified search.

Here's a breakdown:

  1. Initialization:

  2. Context Creation:

  3. Search Execution:

  4. Module Export:

  5. Conditional Execution:

In essence, this code provides a reusable function to initialize a Selenium WebDriver session, load additional functionalities, and execute user-defined searches within a web browser.
