In this article I will use the Selenium webdriver for Chrome in PowerShell to implement automatic testing. For firefox or the original testplan, see [[tfspsselenium]]
\\
Used technologies:
* Selenium webdriver for Chrome
* PowerShell

> Note that I only list chrome here. Chrome works a bit cleaner and the code is exactly the same.

= PowerShell Script - Send Keys =

<code powershell>
# Check for.net version of minimum 4.5:
if (!(Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\' |  Get-ItemPropertyValue -Name Release | Foreach-Object { $_ -ge 394802 })){
	exit
}else{
	write-host "mimimum .net 4.5 version found. Continue"
}

# Load the Selenium .Net library and paths to the various test libraries
# webdriver & support dll
Add-Type -Path "D:\selenium\WebDriver.dll"
Add-Type -Path "D:\selenium\WebDriver.Support.dll"
# Add path for chromedriver.exe and firefox geckodriver.exe
$env:PATH += ";D:\selenium"

# Testplan variables
$testurl = "https://www.google.com"
$testname = "google"
$resultsdir = "D:\selenium\testresults"
[OpenQA.Selenium.ScreenshotImageFormat]$ImageFormat = [OpenQA.Selenium.ScreenshotImageFormat]::Png

### Chrome testplan #########################################################################################################
# Start Chrome headless
Write-Host "Start chrome testplan, starting chrome headless"
$chromeOptions = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeOptions
$chromeOptions.addArguments('headless')
$chromeDriver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver($chromeOptions)

# Start chrome testplan
Write-Host "Go to url $testurl"
$chromedriver.Navigate().GoToURL($testurl)
Write-Host "Start Searching"
$ChromeDriver.FindElementByName("q").SendKeys("Getshifting")
$ChromeDriver.FindElementByName("btnK").Submit()

# Get Evidence that the website works
$chromecurrenturl = $chromeDriver.url
$chromecurrenturltitle = $chromeDriver.title
Write-Host "Current Chrome url  $chromecurrenturl and title $chromecurrenturltitle"
# Get Pagesource
Write-Host "Create pagesource $chromecurrenturl"
$chromeDriver.PageSource | Out-File "$resultsdir\chrome$testname.html" -Force
# Get Screenshots
Write-Host "Create screenshot $chromecurrenturl"
$Screenshot = [OpenQA.Selenium.Support.Extensions.WebDriverExtensions]::TakeScreenshot($chromeDriver)
$Screenshot.SaveAsFile("$resultsdir\chrome$testname.png", $ImageFormat)

# Close Chrome
Write-Host "Close and quit chrome browser and selenium webdriver. "
$chromeDriver.Close()
$chromeDriver.Quit()
