Selenium

1. In the main menu, go to File | New | Project. Alternatively, if you're on the Welcome screen, click New Project.

2. From the list on the left, select Selenium with Pytest.

   

3. Name the new project and change its location if necessary.

4. (Optional) Enable the Create Git repository option to place the new project under version control. If you do not want to do it now, you can do it later at any time.

5. Select whether you want to create a new or use an existing Environment and configure the corresponding settings.

   

   • Specify the location of the new virtual environment in the Location field, or click and browse for the desired location in your file system. The directory for the new virtual environment should be empty.

   • Choose the base interpreter from the list, or click and find the desired Python executable in your file system.

   • Select the Inherit global site-packages checkbox if you want all packages installed in the global Python on your machine to be added to the virtual environment you're going to create. This checkbox corresponds to the --system-site-packages option of the virtualenv tool.

   • Select the Make available to all projects checkbox if you want to reuse this environment when creating Python interpreters in PyCharm.

   For more information, refer to Configure a virtual environment.

   

   • Specify the location of the new conda environment in the Location field, or click and browse for the desired location in your file system. The directory for the new conda environment should be empty.

   • Select the Python version from the list.

   • Normally, PyCharm will detect conda installation.

     Otherwise, specify the location of the conda executable, or click to browse for it.

   For more information, refer to Configure a conda virtual environment.

   

   • Choose the base interpreter from the list, or click and find the desired Python executable in your file system.

   • If you have added the base binary directory to your PATH environmental variable, you don't need to set any additional options: the path to the pipenv executable will be autodetected.

     If the pipenv executable is not found, follow the pipenv installation procedure to discover the executable path, and then specify it in the dialog.

   For more information, refer to Configure a pipenv environment.

   

   • Choose the base interpreter from the list, or click and find the desired Python executable in your file system.

   • If PyCharm doesn't detect the poetry executable, specify the following path in the dialog, replacing jetbrains with your username:

     /Users/jetbrains/Library/Application Support/pypoetry/venv/bin/poetry

     C:\Users\jetbrains\AppData\Roaming\pypoetry\venv\Scripts\poetry.exe

     /home/jetbrains/.local/bin/poetry

   For more information, refer to Configure a Poetry environment.

   

   • Select the interpreter from the list. If there are no available interpreters, click Add Interpreter and configure one according to your needs.

6. Click Create.

1. Open the file where you want to add an element.

2. Click on the right-hand sidebar to open the Web Inspector toolbar window.

3. Specify the URL of the page in the address bar.

   

4. Click and select the element that you want to add in the Web Inspector.

   

5. Once the element is selected, click to add the element to the code.

   

   To add a specific type of the selector (ID, Name, Tag with classes, and so on), click and select the required option.

   

   If you want to switch specifically between CSS and XPath locators, click and select the required locator type.

   

1. Click the framework name on the Status bar. The UI Automation Framework menu opens.

   

2. Select the Customize Template option.

3. In the File and Code Templates dialog, select the required framework from the list.

   

4. Rewrite the code generation algorithms for the web element locator.

5. Click OK to save changes.

• To run your tests, click the gutter icon next to the test class or test method, then select the Run option from the list.

  

  Alternatively, place the caret at the test class to run all tests in that class, or at the test method, and press Ctrl+Shift+F10.

1. In the gutter, hover over the executable line of code where you want to suspend the execution and click .

   

2. Click in the gutter and select Debug. This starts the debugger session and runs your code.

   

3. Once the program hits the breakpoint, the execution becomes suspended, and you can review the results of the debugger session on the Debug tool window.

   

1. Click the current configuration in the run/debug configuration switcher and select the Edit Configurations... option.

   

2. In the Run/Debug Configurations dialog, configure the required startup properties.

   

Run Selenoid on Docker
