The purpose is +for the different driver implementations to be tested to determine +whether they meet the recognized standard. + +## How to run the tests + +1. Go to the WebDriver tests: `cd _WEBDRIVER_TEST_ROOT_` +2. Run the tests: `python runtests.py` +3. Run the test against a different config specified in webdriver.cfg: + `WD_BROWSER=chrome python runtests.py` + +To be run a specific test file you can just run `python test_file.py` + +Similarly you can specify a different browser to run against if in webdriver.cfg: + `WD_BROWSER=chrome python ecmascript/ecmascript_test.py` + +Note: that you will need likely need to start the driver's server before running. + +## Updating configuration + +The _webdriver.cfg_ file holds any configuration that the tests might +require. Change the value of browser to your needs. This will then +be picked up by WebDriverBaseTest when tests are run. + +Be sure not to commit your _webdriver.cfg_ changes when your create or modify tests. + +## How to write tests + +1. Create a test file per section from the specification. +2. For each test there needs to be one or more corresponding HTML + files that will be used for testing. HTML files are not to be + reused between tests. HTML files and other support files + should be stored in a folder named 'res'. +3. Test name should explain the intention of the test e.g. `def + test_navigate_and_return_title(self):` |
