AppNeta-supported Selenium commands - AppNeta Documentation

AppNeta supports a large subset of “Selenese” commands as shown below. A full list of Selenese commands can be found here. Descriptions of AppNeta-specific commands can be found here.

Selenium actions

Selenium actions are commands that manipulate the state of the web app.

Each Selenium action can be used with or without the ‘AndWait’ suffix. So, for ‘addSelection’, as an example, the following are available:

addSelection
addSelectionAndWait

Selenium actions include:

addSelection
altKeyDown
altKeyUp
answerOnNextPrompt
break
captureEntirePageScreenshot
check
chooseCancelOnNextConfirmation
chooseOkOnNextConfirmation
click
clickAt
close
contextMenu
contextMenuAt
controlKeyDown
controlKeyUp
createCookie
deleteAllVisibleCookies
deleteCookie
doubleClick
doubleClickAt
focus
goBack
keyDown (see below)
keyPress (see below)
keyUp
metaKeyDown
metaKeyUp
mouseDown
mouseDownAt
mouseDownRight
mouseDownRightAt
mouseMove
mouseMoveAt
mouseOver
mouseUp
mouseUpAt
mouseUpRight
mouseUpRightAt
open
openAuthenticated
refresh
removeAllSelections
removeSelection
runScript
select
selectFrame
setCursorPosition
shiftKeyDown
shiftKeyUp
submit
type
uncheck
waitForCondition
waitForFrameToLoad
windowMaximize

The ‘AndWait’ suffix does not apply to the following commands as they do not result in browser navigation change:

echo
pause
setSpeed
setTimeout
setUserAgent
store
waitForPageToLoad

Selenium accessors/assertions

Selenium accessors are commands that examine the state of the web app and store the results in variables (e.g., storeAlert). Assertions verify the state is what is expected (e.g., assertAlert, verifyAlert, and waitForAlert).

Selenium accessors can have a ‘not’ prefix and/or one of the following prefixes: ‘store’, ‘assert’, ‘verify’, ‘waitFor’. So, for ‘alert’, as an example, the following are available:

storeAlert
storeNotAlert
assertAlert
assertNotAlert
verifyAlert
verifyNotAlert
waitForAlert
waitForNotAlert

Selenium accessors include:

alert
alertPresent
allButtons
allFields
allLinks
allWindowIds
allWindowNames
allWindowTitles
attribute
bodyText
checked
confirmation
confirmationPresent
cookie
cookieByName
cookiePresent
editable
elementHeight
elementIndex
elementPositionLeft
elementPositionTop
elementPresent
elementWidth
eval

selectedValue
selectedValues
somethingSelected
speed
text
title

xpathCount

Key representations for keyDown and keyPress

The keyDown and keyPress commands take a key representation as an argument. The key representations can be found here. It is important to note that the representation shown on this page is not what is used as an argument to these commands. For example, the ENTER key is represented as u’\ue007’ but must be specified as \e007 in Selenium. When used in the script editor, it looks as follows:

AppNeta-specific Selenium commands

blacklistUrl( url )

(supported in Chrome only)
Stops the browser from requesting content from the specified url. This is typically used so that traffic generated by Experience monitoring scripts does not affect marketing statistics. In addition, it ignores the load time of secondary resources (for example, advertising) that do not impact the ability of a user to interact with a given page.

Arguments:

url - The URL to be blacklisted. It can be an exact URL or a pattern as specified here. Badly formatted patterns are ignored. Blacklisted URLs specified with this command are in addition to the list of system-defined blacklisted URLs. The user-defined blacklist is reset at the start of each new test.

clickIfVisible( locator )

(supported in Chrome only)
Clicks on a link, button, checkbox, or radio button only if it is present and visible. If the element is not present and visible, script execution continues.

Arguments:

locator - The element locator.

openAuthenticated( url, username:password )

Provides a convenient way to access a site that uses basic access authentication or NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication. Be aware that, if a redirect occurs after login, credentials will be lost.

Arguments:

url - the URL to open
username - the user name to login with
password - the password to login with

selectActiveWindow( )

(supported in Chrome only)
Switches script execution to a newly spawned tab.

setUserAgent( useragent )

(supported in Chrome only)
Provides the ability to specify the user agent you want your script to identify as. This is useful when communicating with applications that support a number of different user agents. By default, the @linux User Agent Request Header (see below) is sent.

Arguments:

useragent - The user agent you want to be active. You can use one of the pre-defined values or specify a custom string directly. Pre-defined values and the associated User Agent Request Headers generated include:

useragent	User Agent Request Header
@default	User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.79 Safari/537.36
@linux	User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.79 Safari/537.36
@macos	User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.79 Safari/537.36
@mobile	User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.79 Safari/537.36
@windows	User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.79 Safari/537.36

An example custom string and the User Agent Request Header generated:

useragent	User Agent Request Header
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0)	User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0)
