# Getting Started

Using maven, include it as a dependency:

```xml

  io.ddavison

  conductor

  3.0.2

```

Create a Java Class, and extend it from `io.ddavison.conductor.Locomotive`

### Drivers

Drivers should be put in the resources folder of your project in a subdirectory called drivers, and be named like this:

#### Mac

chromedriver-mac-32bit

#### Windows

chromedriver-windows-32bit.exe

#### Linux

chromedriver-linux-32bit

So as an example, your project structure could be:

```

Project

| src

|   main

|     java

|       TestClass.java

|     resources

|       drivers

|         chromedriver-mac-32bit

|         chromedriver-windows-32bit.exe

|         chromedriver-linux-32bit

| pom.xml

```

Currently, six browsers are supported and they are Firefox, HTMLUnit, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, and PhantomJS

# Goals

The primary goals of this project are to...

- Take advantage of method chaining, to create a fluent interface.

- Abstract the programmer from bloated scripts resulting from using too many css selectors, and too much code.

- Provide a quick and easy framework in Selenium 2 using Java, to get started writing scripts.

- Provide a free to use framework for any starting enterprise, or individual programmer.

- Utilize the power of CSS!

# Actions

You can perform any action that you could possibly do, using the inline actions.

- ```click(By)```

- ```setText(By, text)```

- ```getText(By)```

- ```hoverOver(By)```

- ```check(By)```

- ```uncheck(By)```

- ```navigateTo(url)```

- ```goBack()```

- ```isPresent(By)```

- ```getAttribute(By, attribute)```

- etc.

# In-line validations

This is one of the most important features that I want to _*accentuate*_.

- ```validateText```

- ```validateTextNot```

- ```validateChecked```

- ```validateUnchecked```

- ```validatePresent```

- ```validateNotPresent```

- ```validateTextPresent```

- ```validateTextNotPresent```

All of these methods are able to be called in-line, and fluently without ever having to break your tests.

# Switching Windows

Another nice feature that is offered, is the simplicity of window switching in Selenium.

- ```switchToWindow(regex)```

- ```waitForWindow(regex)```

- ```closeWindow(regex)```

All of these functions take a regular expression argument, and match either the url or title of the window that you want to interact with.

# Switching Frames

- ```switchToFrame(idOrName)```

- ```switchToDefaultContent()```

# Implicit Waiting

In addition to the Selenium 2 implicit waiting, the ```AutomationTest``` class extends on this concept by implenting a sort of ```waitFor``` functionality which ensures that an object appears before interacting with it.  This rids of most ```ElementNotFound``` exceptions that Selenium will cough up.

[See a working example](https://github.com/ddavison/conductor/blob/master/src/test/java/io/ddavison/conductor/FrameworkTest.java) of what a test script written using this framework might look like.
