Selenium Module

For additional reference,, please review the source

Uses Mink to launch and manipulate Selenium Server (formerly the Selenium RC Server).

But we recommend you to use Selenium 2 WebDriver as it is an evolution of SeleniumRC and grants you more stable results. For manipulation with Selenium WebDriver use Selenium2 module

Note, all method takes CSS selectors to fetch elements. For links, buttons, fields you can use names/values/ids of elements. For form fields you can use name of matched label.

Will save a screenshot of browser window to log directory on fail.
