Ruby on rails - Selenium RC: Run tests in multiple browsers automatically

Selenium RC (Remote Control) is the older version of Selenium WebDriver, and it doesn't have built-in support for running tests in multiple browsers automatically. However, you can achieve this by writing a script that orchestrates the execution of your tests across different browsers.

Here's a basic approach to achieve this in Ruby on Rails:

  1. Install the selenium-webdriver gem if you haven't already:
gem install selenium-webdriver

  1. Write your Selenium tests using the selenium-webdriver gem. You can create multiple test files, each representing a test case or a test suite.

  2. Create a script that runs your tests in multiple browsers. You can use Ruby's iteration and conditional statements to achieve this. For example:

require 'selenium-webdriver' # List of browsers to test browsers = [:firefox, :chrome, :safari] # Iterate over each browser browsers.each do |browser| # Initialize WebDriver with the desired browser driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for browser # Your test code goes here driver.get 'http://example.com' # Close the browser after the test driver.quit end
  1. Run your script to execute the tests in each browser:
ruby your_script.rb

This script will run your tests in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (assuming they are installed on your system) one after the other.

Keep in mind that Selenium RC is an older version and has been deprecated in favor of Selenium WebDriver, which provides a more modern and stable approach to automate web testing. If you're starting a new project or migrating an existing one, it's recommended to use Selenium WebDriver instead. With Selenium WebDriver, you can use test runners like RSpec or Cucumber, which have built-in support for running tests in multiple browsers.
