Documentation

API documentation can be found on GitBook and user guide is on the wiki.

Usage

Include extensions

Create alias for the extension By to be used.

using By = Selenium.WebDriver.Extensions.By;

If you don't want to override the By to be used, you can always create JQuerySelector and SizzleSelector instances with new keyword.

Basic jQuery example

Invoke jQuery selectors on the WebDriver.

driver.FindElements(By.JQuerySelector("input:visible"))

jQuery Traversing methods

You can also chain jQuery traversing methods.

var selector = By.JQuerySelector("div.myclass").Parents(".someClass").NextAll();
driver.FindElement(selector);

jQuery loading

If the site that you are testing with Selenium does not include jQuery this extension will automatically load the 3.5.1 version when you run any of the Find* methods. If you want you can choose to load a different version of jQuery. The library uses jQuery CDN by default, but if you want to use a completely different source, that's also supported

driver.LoadJQuery("1.11.0"); // load specific version from default CDN
driver.LoadJQuery(new Uri("https://some.server/jquery.js")); // load a library from other source

jQuery variable name

When you create a jQuery selector using By helper class the resulting selector will use jQuery as library variable name. If you site is using a different variable name for this purpose you can pass this value as an optional parameter.

var selector = By.JQuerySelector("div", jQueryVariable: "myJQuery");

jQuery context switch

You can use one JQuerySelector instance as a context of another JQuerySelector.

var context = By.JQuerySelector("div.myClass");
var selector = By.JQuerySelector("ol li", context);
driver.FindElements(selector);

Basic Sizzle example

Invoke Sizzle selectors on the WebDriver.

driver.FindElements(By.SizzleSelector("input:visible"))

Sizzle loading

If the site that you are testing with Selenium does not include Sizzle this extension will automatically load the 2.0.0 version when you run any of the Find* methods. If you want you can choose to load a different version of Sizzle. The library used CloudFlare CDN by default, but if you want to use a completely different source, that's also supported

driver.LoadSizzle("1.11.1"); // load specific version from default CDN
driver.LoadSizzle(new Uri("https://some.server/sizzle.js")); // load a library from other source

Sizzle context switch

You can use one SizzleSelector instance as a context of another SizzleSelector. Contrary to jQuery equivalent of this method, only first element from the context is used. This is because it's a limitation of Sizzle.

var context = By.SizzleSelector("div.myClass");
var selector = By.SizzleSelector("ol li", context);
driver.FindElements(selector);
