Testing with multiple browsers

jmarc

Hi,

How to automate running Sahi scripts under multiple browsers, including different version of a same browser.
For example, I have to run my Sahi scripts under Safari, FireFox, Chrome, IE 10, IE9, IE8, IE7
Can anyone help me to do this, particularly how to handle multiple versions of IE ?
Thanks.

Regards,
Jean-Marc

Hi jmarc,
you can access the file :

sahi_pro/userdata/config/browser_types.xml

and add as many browsertype tags as you want. In other words, you will be able to launch multiple versions of same browsertype(chrome,ie etc) through the dashboard.

eg. you might have something like this for IE8 in your browser_types.xml file:

<browserType> 
	<name>ie</name>  
	<displayName>IE</displayName>
	<icon>ie.png</icon>
	<path>$ProgramFiles\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>  
	<options></options>  
	<processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
	<useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy> 
	<capacity>5</capacity>  
</browserType>	

you can add another one for IE7 that will go something like:

<browserType> 
	<name>ie7</name>  
	<displayName>IE 7</displayName>
	<icon>ie.png</icon>
	<path>path_to_ie7_exe_file</path>  
	<options></options>  
	<processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
	<useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy> 
	<capacity>5</capacity>  
</browserType>

You can also play scripts on IE 7 using testrunner now, using the keyword "ie7".

Regards.
