Zalenium

1. Start by installing docker, a standalone container image that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings.

2. Use docker to pull selenium and zalenium using the commands:

   docker pull elgalu/selenium
   docker pull dosel/zalenium

3. Start Zalenium with the command:

   export CBT_USERNAME="YOUR_USERNAME"
   export CBT_AUTHKEY="YOUR_AUTHKEY"
   export CBT_URL= "http://YOUR_USERNAME:[email protected]:80"
   docker run --rm -ti --name zalenium -p 4444:4444 \
   -e CBT_USERNAME -e CBT_AUTHKEY -e CBT_URL \
   -v /tmp/videos:/home/seluser/videos \
   -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
   --privileged dosel/zalenium start --cbtEnabled true

4. Navigate to http://localhost:4444/grid/dashboard to view your Zalenium Dashboard

5. Create an empty file called /zalenium/test/selenium_test.py with the following content:

   Python

   Python

   import unittest
   from selenium import webdriver
   import requests, time
   import os
   
   class SeleniumCBT(unittest.TestCase):
   def setUp(self):
   caps = {}
   caps['name'] = 'Zalenium Test'
   caps['browserName'] = 'Chrome'
   caps['version'] = '72'
   caps['platform'] = 'Windows 10'
   caps['screenResolution'] = '1366x768'
   caps['record_video'] = 'true'
   
   try:
   self.driver = webdriver.Remote(
   desired_capabilities = caps,
   command_executor = "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub")
   
   
   except Exception as e:
   raise e
   
   def test_CBT(self):
   self.driver.get("http://crossbrowsertesting.github.io/login-form.html")
   self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id=\"username\"]").send_keys("[email protected]")
   self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@type=\"password\"]").send_keys("test123")
   self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id=\"submit\"]").click()
   
   print("The title is ", self.driver.title)
   time.sleep(10)
   
   self.driver.quit()
   
   if __name__ == '__main__':
   unittest.main()

6. Now you are ready to run your test using the command:

   python selenium_test.py

   Note:

   You will need to use your Username and Authkey to run your tests on CrossBrowserTesting To get yours, sign up for a free trial or purchase a plan.

If you would like to test behind your firewall or access non-public sites, you can use our local connection tool through our Zalenium integration. Simply add the following parameter to your configuration:

As you can probably make out from our test, we visit a simple login page and display the title.

We kept it short and sweet for our purposes, but there is so much more you can do with Zalenium! Being built on top of Selenium means the sky is the limit as far as what you can do. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Support.
