============================================= Lettuce steps for Web Testing with Selenium 2

lettuce_webdriver provides a set of steps for use with the Cucumber <http://cukes.info/>_ BDD Python port lettuce <http://lettuce.it/>_ using the selenium 2.8 or higher Python package <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium>_.

The included matchers and syntax is inspired heavily by cucumber_watir <https://github.com/napcs/cucumber_watir>_.

Requirements

• lettuce <http://lettuce.it/>_
• selenium 2.8 or higher <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium>_

Setting Up lettuce_webdriver

In your lettuce terrain.py file, add an include statement for lettuce to learn about the additional step definitions provided by lettuce_webdriver and a setup that creates the selenium browser desired::

from lettuce import before, world
from selenium import webdriver
import lettuce_webdriver.webdriver

@before.all
def setup_browser():
    world.browser = webdriver.Firefox()

Usage

lettuce stories are written in the standard Cucumber style of gherkin <https://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/wiki/gherkin>_. For example::

Scenario: Filling out the signup form
  Given I go to "http://foo.com/signup"
   When I fill in "Name" with "Foo Bar"
    And I fill in "Email" with "[email protected]"
    And I fill in "City" with "San Jose"
    And I fill in "State" with "CA"
    And I uncheck "Send me spam!"
    And I select "Male" from "Gender"
    And I press "Sign up"
   Then I should see "Thank you for signing up!"
