Webtest with Selenium - together? Possible? How?

56 views Asked by At

While reading through WebTest documentation, I found a somehow cryptic note about webtest.http.StopableWSGIServer:

StopableWSGIServer is a WSGIServer which run in a separated thread. This allow to use tools like casperjs or selenium.

I know, what WebTest does. It is a package to simulate a web browser, with a very nice API, to test web pages.

I know, what Selenium does. It is a package that allows a programmer to actually use a real web browser to test web pages.

I use both of those tools in my codebase, only separately.

Somehow I can get my head around the thought of using WebTest with Selenium.

Could anybody please elaborate on that? Am I missing something?

My first idea, a bit vague, is to use WebTest API to access pages running inside a browser controller by Selenium. Was it the idea behind webtest-selenium package?

As a side note, webtest-selenium package seems to be in very early stage of development, since a long time. Does anybody know, is it alive?
