Migrating from Selenium RC to Webdriver

Question

I'm trying to migrate to webdriver, as it is faster. How do I do this? Currently I'm using the setUp() command for selenium. Do I need to add any new jar files for the webdriver?

This needs much more information. How do the RC tests work? What testing framework do you use? JUnit? How many tests? What browsers? — Arran, Oct 15 '12 at 09:26

Ok, so I use Junit. There is one test, which accesses an excel file full of testcases. I use firefox 12.0. I launch a standalone selenium server using this command: — Arka, Oct 15 '12 at 09:45
java.exe -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.22.0.jar -browserSessionReuse -firefoxProfileTemplate E:\Automation\profile — Arka, Oct 15 '12 at 09:45

I 'd like to describe in common features approach I use on my project. I'm using selenium webDriver. Working on java. IDE: IDEA. build manager: maven.

So I got POM.xml file. So I simply add there depencdencies in POM xml:

<dependency>
          <groupId>junit</groupId>
          <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
          <version>4.4</version>
      </dependency>

      <dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
          <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
          <version>2.24.1</version>
      </dependency>

On building the project maven will get needed jars automatically.

In my project I got BaseSeleniumTest.java: with the following:

public class BaseSeleniumTest extends SeleneseTestBase {
    static WebDriver driver;



    @BeforeClass
    public static void firefoxSetUp() throws MalformedURLException {


        driver = new FirefoxDriver();  
    }
    @Before
    public void homePageRefresh() throws IOException {
        driver.get("login.base.url");
    }


    @AfterClass
    public static void closeFirefox(){
        driver.quit();
    }
...
}

And have some other classes inherinting from BaseSekeniumTest.java where I describe pack of my selenium tests annotated by @Test That's kind of structure on my project.

Hope this helps you.
