Let's use a typical python shell: + +.. parsed-literal:: + + python + +First, import Marionette: + +.. parsed-literal:: + from marionette import Marionette + +Now create the client for this session. Assuming you're using the default +port on a Marionette instance running locally: + +.. parsed-literal:: + + client = Marionette(host='localhost', port=2828) + client.start_session() + +This will return some id representing your session id. Now that you've +established a connection, let's start doing interesting things: + +.. parsed-literal:: + + client.execute_script("alert('o hai there!');") + +You should now see this alert pop up! How exciting! Okay, let's do +something practical. Close the dialog and try this: + +.. parsed-literal:: + + client.navigate("http://www.mozilla.org") + +Now you're at mozilla.org! You can even verify it using the following: + +.. parsed-literal:: + client.get_url() + +You can even find an element and click on it. Let's say you want to get +the first link: + +.. parsed-literal:: + from marionette import By + first_link = client.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "a") + +first_link now holds a reference to the first link on the page. You can click it: + +.. parsed-literal:: + first_link.click() + |
