Selenium web tests

[wmoore]

Write Selenium tests for web, aiming for as much coverage as possible!

To get started running tests locally, download Selenium RC from ​http://seleniumhq.org/download/ unzip and run

$ cd Desktop/selenium-remote-control-1.0.3/selenium-server-1.0.3/
$ java -jar selenium-server.jar

You need to set up ice.config and various Python paths. This setup (below) works for running OmeroPy unit tests and seems to work for Selenium too.

Put ice.config in components/tools/OmeroPy

omero.host=localhost
omero.port=4064
omero.user=root
omero.pass=omero
omero.rootpass=omero

Go to components/tools/OmeroPy and do:

export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/build/lib:`pwd`/test:$PYTHONPATH
export HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=2
export ICE_CONFIG=`pwd`/ice.config

Then run tests:

E.g. to run the webadmin test
(at omeroweb/webadmin/tests/seleniumtests.py with Selenium server at 'localhost' and the OMERO web pages available at localhost:4080 using firefox:

$ bin/omero web seleniumtest webadmin localhost http://localhost:4080 firefox

I have to make the following modification to avoid the selenium bug described in #3829
