Expose handy selenium wrappers to C#

[KevM]

I am working on a team with zero F# experience and intent to adopt F# 🙍‍♂️ I'm working on that but in the meanwhile we are starting to do a lot of end to end testing with Selenium. I am running into issues where their polling FindElement(s) wrappers are not as battle tested as Canopy's.

What if we could export the excellent mechanisms to be something consumable in C#. Maybe a string extension or some such. No idea where this could go but not re-inventing the Selenium wrapper wheel in C# would be really nice.

I will make a new class that exposes everything properly to C#.

I can work on that some today. It should not be too hard fortunately.

[lefthandedgoat]

Before I go further, can you look at the C# version

https://github.com/lefthandedgoat/canopy/blob/cswrapper/csharptests/Program.cs

compared to the F# version

https://github.com/lefthandedgoat/canopy/blob/cswrapper/tests/basictests/Program.fs

And see that the API is acceptable to you?

[lefthandedgoat]

I actually think I am done. Give the commits a review and let me know what you think.

[KevM]

Thank you! I like it. I'll have some time next week to put together a POC. We have a whole lot of tests that might be a lot more reliable on top of something like Canopy.

[lefthandedgoat]

Ok cool. I will do a build tonight/tomorrow for you and publish to nuget.

Please let me know if you have any problems, find gaps, or need help!

Enjoy!

Worth mentioning here. /cc @KevM

Consider using indexers:

_.test["Value 1 listed in #value_list"] = () =>
{
    _.url(testpage);
    _.startEq("", "");
}

public Action this[string key]
{
    set { /* */ }
}

We're a C#-Dev team, too. All testing in nunit so far. I started with canopy in f# as a poc for web testing and the team was excited. Now I discovered the new C# wrapper, which fits completely our needs.

Currently I'm getting the following exception when using _.displayed(".alert-danger"):

canopy.types+CanopyNotStringOrElementException : Can't check displayed on canopy.core+value@1034-1 because it is not a string or webelement

A short look at csharp.fs shows:

+    static member selected selector = selected value
+
+    static member deselected selector = deselected value
+
+    static member displayed selector = displayed value
+
+    static member notDisplayed selector = notDisplayed value
+
+    static member enabled selector = enabled value
+
+    static member disabled selector = disabled value

It should be selector instead value, shouldn't it?

Sorry when I posted it in the wrong section. I'm still very new to the github workflow :-)

Thanks in advance!

Yep you found a bug. Let me fix it and review all the other methods for copy/paste errors and I will create a new build for you.

[lefthandedgoat]

Good find. Sorry the whole thing was done rather quickly with limited testing. You can find a fixed build here:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/canopy/1.1.2

Thanks again!

[spindev]

I have to thank for the quick response and the new nuget package.

[lefthandedgoat]

Sure no problem!

@lefthandedgoat this has been done right? Link?
