WebDriver
extends Module
in package
implements
Web, Remote, MultiSession, SessionSnapshot, ScreenshotSaver, PageSourceSaver, ElementLocator, ConflictsWithModule, RequiresPackage
Run tests in real browsers using the W3C [WebDriver protocol](https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/).
There are multiple ways of running browser tests using WebDriver:
Selenium (Recommended)
- Java is required
- NodeJS is required
The fastest way to get started is to Install and launch Selenium using selenium-standalone NodeJS package.
Launch selenium standalone in separate console window:
selenium-standalone start
Update configuration in acceptance.suite.yml
:
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver:
url: 'http://localhost/'
browser: chrome # 'chrome' or 'firefox'
Headless Chrome Browser
To enable headless mode (launch tests without showing a window) for Chrome browser using Selenium use this config in acceptance.suite.yml
:
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver:
url: 'http://localhost/'
browser: chrome
capabilities:
chromeOptions:
args: ["--headless", "--disable-gpu"]
Headless Selenium in Docker
Docker can ship Selenium Server with all its dependencies and browsers inside a single container. Running tests inside Docker is as easy as pulling official selenium image and starting a container with Chrome:
docker run --net=host selenium/standalone-chrome
By using --net=host
allow Selenium to access local websites.
Local Chrome and/or Firefox
Tests can be executed directly throgh ChromeDriver or GeckoDriver (for Firefox). Consider using this option if you don't plan to use Selenium.
ChromeDriver
- Download and install ChromeDriver
- Launch ChromeDriver in a separate console window:
chromedriver --url-base=/wd/hub
.
Configuration in acceptance.suite.yml
:
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver:
url: 'http://localhost/'
window_size: false # disabled in ChromeDriver
port: 9515
browser: chrome
capabilities:
chromeOptions:
args: ["--headless", "--disable-gpu"] # Run Chrome in headless mode
prefs:
download.default_directory: "..."
See here for additional Chrome options
GeckoDriver
- [GeckoDriver])(https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) must be installed
- Start GeckoDriver in a separate console window:
geckodriver
.
Configuration in acceptance.suite.yml
:
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver:
url: 'http://localhost/'
browser: firefox
path: ''
capabilities:
acceptInsecureCerts: true # allow self-signed certificates
moz:firefoxOptions:
args: ["-headless"] # Run Firefox in headless mode
prefs:
intl.accept_languages: "de-AT" # Set HTTP-Header `Accept-Language: de-AT` for requests
See here for Firefox capabilities

modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver:
url: 'http://localhost/'
browser: firefox
window_size: 1024x768
capabilities:
unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept'
firefox_profile: '~/firefox-profiles/codeception-profile.zip.b64'
Loading Parts from other Modules
While all Codeception modules are designed to work stand-alone, it's still possible to load several modules at once. To use e.g. the Asserts module in your acceptance tests, just load it like this in your acceptance.suite.yml
:
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver
- Asserts
However, when loading a framework module (e.g. Symfony) like this, it would lead to a conflict: When you call $I->amOnPage()
, Codeception wouldn't know if you want to access the page using WebDriver's amOnPage()
, or Symfony's amOnPage()
. That's why possibly conflicting modules are separated into "parts". Here's how to load just the "services" part from e.g. Symfony:
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver
- Symfony:
part: services
To find out which parts each module has, look at the "Parts" header on the module's page.
Usage
Locating Elements
Most methods in this module that operate on a DOM element (e.g. click
) accept a locator as the first argument,
which can be either a string or an array.
If the locator is an array, it should have a single element,
with the key signifying the locator type (id
, name
, css
, xpath
, link
, or class
)
and the value being the locator itself.
This is called a "strict" locator.
Examples:
-
['id' => 'foo']
matches<div id="foo">
-
['name' => 'foo']
matches<div name="foo">
-
['css' => 'input[type=input][value=foo]']
matches<input type="input" value="foo">
-
['xpath' => "//input[@type='submit'][contains(@value, 'foo')]"]
matches<input type="submit" value="foobar">
-
['link' => 'Click here']
matches<a href="google.com">Click here</a>
-
['class' => 'foo']
matches<div class="foo">
Writing good locators can be tricky. The Mozilla team has written an excellent guide titled Writing reliable locators for Selenium and WebDriver tests.
If you prefer, you may also pass a string for the locator. This is called a "fuzzy" locator.
In this case, Codeception uses a a variety of heuristics (depending on the exact method called) to determine what element you're referring to.
For example, here's the heuristic used for the submitForm
method:
- Does the locator look like an ID selector (e.g. "#foo")? If so, try to find a form matching that ID.
- If nothing found, check if locator looks like a CSS selector. If so, run it.
- If nothing found, check if locator looks like an XPath expression. If so, run it.
- Throw an
ElementNotFound
exception.
Be warned that fuzzy locators can be significantly slower than strict locators.
Especially if you use Selenium WebDriver with wait
(aka implicit wait) option.
In the example above if you set wait
to 5 seconds and use XPath string as fuzzy locator,
submitForm
method will wait for 5 seconds at each step.
That means 5 seconds finding the form by ID, another 5 seconds finding by CSS
until it finally tries to find the form by XPath).
If speed is a concern, it's recommended you stick with explicitly specifying the locator type via the array syntax.
Get Scenario Metadata
You can inject \Codeception\Scenario
into your test to get information about the current configuration:
use Codeception\Scenario
public function myTest(AcceptanceTester $I, Scenario $scenario)
{
if ('firefox' === $scenario->current('browser')) {
// ...
}
}
See Get Scenario Metadata for more information on $scenario
.

Waits for element and runs a sequence of actions inside its context.
public
performOn(mixed $element, mixed $actions[, int $timeout = 10 ]) : mixed
Actions can be defined with array, callback, or Codeception\Util\ActionSequence
instance.
Actions as array are recommended for simple to combine "waitForElement" with assertions;
waitForElement($el)
and see('text', $el)
can be simplified to:
<?php
$I->performOn($el, ['see' => 'text']);
List of actions can be pragmatically build using Codeception\Util\ActionSequence
:
<?php
$I->performOn('.model', ActionSequence::build()
->see('Warning')
->see('Are you sure you want to delete this?')
->click('Yes')
);
Actions executed from array or ActionSequence will print debug output for actions, and adds an action name to exception on failure.
Whenever you need to define more actions a callback can be used. A WebDriver module is passed for argument:
<?php
$I->performOn('.rememberMe', function (WebDriver $I) {
$I->see('Remember me next time');
$I->seeElement('#LoginForm_rememberMe');
$I->dontSee('Login');
});
In 3rd argument you can set number a seconds to wait for element to appear
Parameters
- $element : mixed
- $actions : mixed
- $timeout : int = 10
pressKey()

public
pressKey(mixed $element, mixed $char) : mixed
To specify a character and modifier (e.g. Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Meta), pass an array for $char
with
the modifier as the first element and the character as the second.
For special keys, use the constants from Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverKeys
.
<?php
// <input id="page" value="old" />
$I->pressKey('#page','a'); // => olda
$I->pressKey('#page',array('ctrl','a'),'new'); //=> new
$I->pressKey('#page',array('shift','111'),'1','x'); //=> old!!!1x
$I->pressKey('descendant-or-self::*[@id='page']','u'); //=> oldu

submitForm()
Submits the given form on the page, optionally with the given form values. Give the form fields values as an array. Note that hidden fields can't be accessed.
public
submitForm(mixed $selector, mixed $params[, mixed $button = null ]) : mixed
Skipped fields will be filled by their values from the page. You don't need to click the 'Submit' button afterwards. This command itself triggers the request to form's action.
You can optionally specify what button's value to include in the request with the last parameter as an alternative to explicitly setting its value in the second parameter, as button values are not otherwise included in the request.
Examples:
<?php
$I->submitForm('#login', [
'login' => 'davert',
'password' => '123456'
]);
// or
$I->submitForm('#login', [
'login' => 'davert',
'password' => '123456'
], 'submitButtonName');
For example, given this sample "Sign Up" form:
<form action="/sign_up">
Login:
<input type="text" name="user[login]" /><br/>
Password:
<input type="password" name="user[password]" /><br/>
Do you agree to our terms?
<input type="checkbox" name="user[agree]" /><br/>
Select pricing plan:
<select name="plan">
<option value="1">Free</option>
<option value="2" selected="selected">Paid</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
</form>
You could write the following to submit it:
<?php
$I->submitForm(
'#userForm',
[
'user[login]' => 'Davert',
'user[password]' => '123456',
'user[agree]' => true
],
'submitButton'
);
Note that "2" will be the submitted value for the "plan" field, as it is the selected option.
Also note that this differs from PhpBrowser, in that
'user' => [ 'login' => 'Davert' ]
is not supported at the moment.
Named array keys must be included in the name as above.
Pair this with seeInFormFields for quick testing magic.
<?php
$form = [
'field1' => 'value',
'field2' => 'another value',
'checkbox1' => true,
// ...
];
$I->submitForm('//form[@id=my-form]', $form, 'submitButton');
// $I->amOnPage('/path/to/form-page') may be needed
$I->seeInFormFields('//form[@id=my-form]', $form);
?>
Parameter values must be set to arrays for multiple input fields of the same name, or multi-select combo boxes. For checkboxes, either the string value can be used, or boolean values which will be replaced by the checkbox's value in the DOM.
<?php
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
'field1' => 'value',
'checkbox' => [
'value of first checkbox',
'value of second checkbox',
],
'otherCheckboxes' => [
true,
false,
false,
],
'multiselect' => [
'first option value',
'second option value',
]
]);
?>
Mixing string and boolean values for a checkbox's value is not supported and may produce unexpected results.
Field names ending in "[]" must be passed without the trailing square bracket characters, and must contain an array for its value. This allows submitting multiple values with the same name, consider:
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
'field[]' => 'value',
'field[]' => 'another value', // 'field[]' is already a defined key
]);
The solution is to pass an array value:
// this way both values are submitted
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
'field' => [
'value',
'another value',
]
]);
The $button
parameter can be either a string, an array or an instance
of Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverBy. When it is a string, the
button will be found by its "name" attribute. If $button is an
array then it will be treated as a strict selector and a WebDriverBy
will be used verbatim.
For example, given the following HTML:
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
$button
could be any one of the following:
- 'submitButton'
- ['name' => 'submitButton']
- WebDriverBy::name('submitButton')
Parameters
- $selector : mixed
- $params : mixed
- $button : mixed = null

switchToWindow()
Switch to another window identified by name.
public
switchToWindow([string|null $name = null ]) : mixed

<?php
$I->click("Open window");
# switch to another window
$I->switchToWindow("another_window");
# switch to parent window
$I->switchToWindow();
?>

method.
Or use native Selenium functions to get access to all opened windows:
<?php
$I->executeInSelenium(function (\Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver $webdriver) {
$handles=$webdriver->getWindowHandles();
$last_window = end($handles);
$webdriver->switchTo()->window($last_window);
});
?>
