Hi,

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone but I've created a webtesting library that is basically a phantomjs driver. It looks similar to Webdriver/Selenium but its in D.

I have been using it to functionally test my web apps. If anyone is remotely interested I will publish it on dub.

That is cool. Please publish, at least GitHub.

I guess you are talking about https://github.com/kingsleyh/erik ?
Can you tell more about it. You write tests in D and "erik" runs them with phantom.js?
Is something special when using it together with vibe.d?
Is there anything planed to put on top on it like behat?
Is it compatible with selenium. E.g. can you run tests in the cloud or differnt browsers.

Sorry for asking maybe stupid questions.

Hey - yeah thats it.

I have been using d-unit to write the tests and using erik as the tool to operate and drive the browser - in this case the phantomjs headless javascript browser.

an example might be:
    @Test
    public void doit(){
      Session session = Session.start(); // start new phantom on random port
      session.visitUrl("http://www.google.com"); // visit url
      By search = By.cssSelector("input[name='q']");
      session.waitFor(search, Condition.isClickable()); // wait for search box to appear
      WebElement searchBox = session.findElement(search); // select search box
      searchBox.sendKeys("d language kingsley");                     // type into search box
      writeln(searchBox.getAttribute("value"));           // get search box value
    }

There is currently nothing special for vibe.d - however I'm planning on doing some better integration there.
I may write a cucumber/behat/jbehave thing that it could hook into
It's currently not directly compatible with selenium - the hooks exist but I haven't pushed them forward - but it would not be hard to support selenium for driving different browsers.

I'm not 100% in which direction it will go at the moment as only the basics are implemented.
