And thanks for your work on Selenium, it's such a great tool!Jason Hugginsurn:uuid:708bd102-38c9-4dc4-8af3-7fd39c1058302006-03-01T06:01:43+00:002006-03-01T06:01:44+00:00Comment on Show, don't tell by Jason HugginsHoly flippin' cow! This is cool stuff. Each and every day I'm floored by the all new stuff being done with Selenium. Many thanks for the screencast. I'll be showing this to lots of folks back here at ThoughtWorks. :-)

Paul: I'd guess that programmers prefer RSelenese, and non-programmers (e.g. testers) Selenese. The main benefit of using Selenese is of course the excellent Selenium IDE. But to each his own, they are all rendered the same.<br /><br />

Sellenium has been on my radar for a while but I never got 'round to trying it. Your demo covered a lot of ground.
I particularly liked the inclusion of an .rsel example. I can't imagine creating a comprehensive set of test cases in straight "selenese".

<p>There is this great tradition in the Rails community to create screencasts and I really like them so here's a screencast of <a href="http://andthennothing.net/archives/2006/02/19/new-version-of-selenium-on-rails">Selenium on Rails</a>.</p>
<p>In the demo I create a new Rails project, install Selenium on Rails, create a test case using <a href="http://www.openqa.org/selenium-ide/">Selenium IDE</a>, create another in RSelenese, and run all the test as a Rake task.</p>
<p>The only setup not shown are installation/configuration of Selenium IDE and win32-open3.</p><script language="javascript">
