Selenium提供了很多的event listening functions来跟踪脚本执行过程中的events.
How it works?
在注册了listener的webDriver里面，这些listener可以listen events。events可以是任何类型的event 或者 action，比如element click，改变输入框的值，甚至是exceptions。
To enable this feature:
1. 创建用户自定义的Event listener class.
2. 通过实现webdriver的接口，来创建一个EventFiringWebDriverObject
3. And register the Listener to the EventFiringWebDriver instance.
Q: 如何创建自己的event listener class?
A: By 实现WebDriverEventListener 接口（不推荐）。
或者By 继承AbstractWedDriverEventListener 类。（推荐）
首先展示实现WebdriverEventListener 接口的方式（不推荐）：
package main.test.org.seleniummonster.com.demo.eventlistenerdemo;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.events.WebDriverEventListener;
public class EventListenerType1 implements WebDriverEventListener {
@Override
public void afterChangeValueOf(WebElement arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done after changing the value in the webelement argo
}
@Override
public void afterClickOn(WebElement arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done after clicking an element arg0
}
@Override
public void afterFindBy(By arg0, WebElement arg1, WebDriver arg2) {
// Things to be done after findby of webelement arg1
}
@Override
public void afterNavigateBack(WebDriver arg0) {
// Things to be done after navigating back
}
@Override
public void afterNavigateForward(WebDriver arg0) {
// Things to be done after navigating forward
}
@Override
public void afterNavigateTo(String arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done after navigating to the given URL say, arg0
}
@Override
public void afterScript(String arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done after script execution
}
@Override
public void beforeChangeValueOf(WebElement arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done before Changing value in the webelement arg0
}
@Override
public void beforeClickOn(WebElement arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done before Clicking an element arg0
}
@Override
public void beforeFindBy(By arg0, WebElement arg1, WebDriver arg2) {
// Things to be done before a Findby of an web element arg1
}
@Override
public void beforeNavigateBack(WebDriver arg0) {
// Things to be done before navigating back
}
@Override
public void beforeNavigateForward(WebDriver arg0) {
// Things to be done before Navigating forward
}
@Override
public void beforeNavigateTo(String arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done before navigating to a url arg0
}
@Override
publicvoid beforeScript(String arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
// Things to be done before javascript execution
}
@Override
public void onException(Throwable arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
System.out.println("There is an exception in the script, please find the below error description" );
arg0.printStackTrace();
}
}
在这种方法里，我们只重写了onException() ，其与方法都没做改动，但还是override了一遍。没办法啊。
然后就要介绍推荐的那种方法了。AbstractWebDriverEventListener 是一个抽象类，它实现了WebDriverEventListener接口，它override了WebDriverEventListener所有的方法（当然只是空的override了一下）。我们可以继承AbstractWebDriverEventListener class 来具体定义我们关注的方法，看如下例子：EventListenerType2.java
package main.test.org.seleniummonster.com.demo.eventlistenerdemo;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.events.AbstractWebDriverEventListener;
public class EventListenerType2 extends AbstractWebDriverEventListener {
/**
* @author Selenium Monster
*/
@Override
public void onException(Throwable arg0, WebDriver arg1) {
System.out.println("There is an exception in the script, please find the below error description" );
arg0.printStackTrace();
}
}
代码简短了不少，接下来就是Registering the Listener with Webdriver instance
下面是个实例： 创建个EventFiringWebDriver 类的实例， 我们定义的listener类的实例。用register()方法把我们定义的listener注册到EventFiringWebDriver 对象上。可以注册As many listener as you whish.
* If you have definitions for an action in all the listener, all of them will be executed.*
package main.test.org.seleniummonster.com.demo.eventlistenerdemo;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.events.EventFiringWebDriver;
public class EventFiringWebdriverExample {
/**
* @author Selenium Monster
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 创建一个 webdriver实例
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// 创建EventFiringWebDriver 实例
EventFiringWebDriver eventFiringWD= new EventFiringWebDriver(driver);
// Creating instance of eventListener, that we just defined
EventListenerType2 eventListener1=new EventListenerType2();
// Register the Listener with the event firing driver
eventFiringWD.register(eventListener1);
eventFiringWD.get("https://www.google.co.in/");
eventFiringWD.findElement(By.className("nosuchclassName"));
}
}
解除注册的方法：
eventFiringWD=eventFiringWD.unregister(eventListener1);加监听的最大目的，就是减少维护脚本所花的力气， 让报错的信息，更容易定位到问题。
