Changelog of @hackage/hspec-webdriver 1.2.0

1.2.0

• The way capabilities are handled was simplified. In the old API (1.1.0 and below) there was a typeclass TestCapabilities and you had to create an enumeration (or use the default provided by this library) and then there was a Using typeclass that allowed lists or a single capability. All this complexity and abuse of typeclasses turned out to be unnecessary. After using hspec-webdriver in my own projects for several years, the best way to handle capabilities is in a utility module to have a list allBrowsers :: [Capabilities] and then each session in the spec just passes allBrowsers to using (the XKCD exaple in the documentation now uses this approach). The allBrowsers value in the utility module can then be edited and changed to specify which browsers/caps to use for the examples.

  The actual API changes are as follows:

  • TestCapabilities was removed.
  • BrowserDefaults was removed and instead there are symbols firefoxCaps, chromeCaps, etc. which you can use instead of BrowserDefaults. Or you can ignore these and create your own capaiblities directly using utility functions from the webdriver package.
  • The Using typeclass was removed but the using helper function still exists as a standalone function. You must now pass list of capabilities to using but otherwise the usage is the same. As mentioned above, I suggest the argument to using is a list defined in a utility module similar to the XKCD example. (In my large test code, no call to using needed to be changed).
  • session and sessionWith changed to take a list of Capabilities, but when used with using the output of using is still the input to session. Also, sessionWith takes a descriptive string to be used to better describe capabilities.

• In previous versions, as soon as an example had an error the entire session was aborted. This is still the default, but there are now functions runWDOptions and runWDWithOptions which take a setting which can cause the session to continue even if the example has an error. There is an API change in the definition of the WdExample data constructor to take the new options, but as long as you were using runWD and runWDWith and not using WdExample directly, there is no change needed to your code. runWD and runWDWith still have the same behavior as before; as soon as an error occurs, the entire session is aborted.

1.1.0

• Support for webdriver 0.8. The API in hspec-webdriver itself did not change, but we re-export WebDriver.Commands so I bumped the major version. In fact, there were only a few minor changes in the Commands module (most of the changes in webdriver were to session management which is handled internally), so it is likely that your test suite will compile without changes.
