Lebowski Browser Support
BrandonK
Hello,
After applying the suggested updates to Ubuntu, I was surprised to
see that my Lebowski scripts would no longer worK! It seems that part
of the improvement was to update Firefox to version 8.0. With this
installed, Selenium would launch the first browser with the Selenium
Remote Control, but would never launch the second browser to open up
the Sproutcore application.
I tried upgrading my selenium server to version 2.15 but this did not
seem to help.
Is it safe to assume this is because Selenium RC does not currently
support Firefox 7 and above? ( http://seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.html).
Through some trouble, I was able to get Lebowski working again with an
old Firefox 3.6.24 and Firefox 7.0 browser.
I'd like to be able to run these tests against the browsers that are
popular. Is there any other way to get Lebowski to work with Firefox
8.0 and above?
I see that Mike Cohen is/was working on a version that would use
Selenium's WebDriver. Once this is finished, would this support the
latest browsers? If so, does anyone have an idea on when this would
be available? How would I get involved in the coding process?

Thanks for bringing this up. I am indeed hard at work migrating
Lebowski to work with WebDriver instead of the current Selenium RC.
This is a rather large endeavor simply because the architecture
between the old Selenium RC and WebDriver are so different. However,
once the transition is complete, everyone will be able to enjoy the
benefits of working with the latest WebDriver releases and run your
scripts against all the latest browsers ... Well, almost. There's
currently no support for Apple's Safari browser. The other good news
is that your scripts should remain as is so long as you haven't done
any crazy stuff with Lebowski -- not that I can stop you from doing
such things ;). All the changes I'm making are under the hood. As for
a timeline, I don't want to give a firm date, but I'm really pushing
to get this done soon. I'm gunning for sometime in January/February.
Cheers,
-Mike
