Selenium 2 doc error

[Danny Guerrier]

The doc says you can instantiate a WebDriverBackedSelenium object by doing this

Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(...)

This is not correct.  WebDriverBackedSelenium gives you a WebDriverBackedSelenium object not Selenium.  The doc should read;

WebDriverBackedSelenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(...)

[Eran M.]

WebDriverBackedSelenium extends DefaultSelenium which, in turn, implements the Selenium interface. You should use the Selenium interface - as it's generally wise to write your code against interfaces, not specific implementations.

In this case the only method WebDriverBackedSelenium has which is not in the Selenium interface is getUnderlyingWebDriver. You should use this method carefully anyway, as mixing calls to WebDriver and Selenium will yield some Interesting Results.

Ummm... it should be fine to make calls to the underlying webdriver
instance if necessary. It's probably inadvisable to go around
switching frames or windows because the selenium implementation tracks
that state slightly differently.
