How to unittest selenium code without browser or network access while testing code in CI platform like...












0















I am scrapping website data using selenium package in python with functions like:



driver.find_element_by_ ...  (...) 


I want to test this code in travis-ci platform where it has no access to browser or network.



How to test this code? it uses the following methods to retrieve data:



driver.get(url)
driver.find_element()


Because it processes html inside, I can't feed static fixed html data directly to it for testing. So can you suggest best way to do so?

If you can put the website page on the same machine where yous test script besides, Selenium can open local HTML file with file: protocol as following:



driver.get('file:///C:/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/test.html')

  • In any CI process, you want to run it in the real environment. but it's good to know we can run local files with selenium! +1
