Selenium sending commands into Chromes Console

[Joe Early]

Hi all 

we are testing a anaimtion that works on event IDs. These come from a server but we also use the chrome console to send them locally for playback of certain events. 

How can I use selenium web driver to send a command such as "t.se(1024)" to the console and hit enter. 

I will then be testing what appears on the animation 

Any pointer links would be great

Thanks

Executing commands in the Chrome console for the most part is simply executing javascript code. So if my assumption that "t.se(1024)" is actually a call to a (special?) javascript object t with method se, then you could just execute like follows in Selenium Java:

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("t.se(1024);");

if you needed to get back the return value of a command then it could be something like:

String value = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return t.se(1024);"); //assuming it does return string, otherwise typecast as needed
