Updates for ChartMaker, Traffic-generator, refactoring, and more

Updates for ChartMaker, Traffic-generator, refactoring, and more

• Updates for ChartMaker:
  -- Add parameters for enabling/disabling labels & legends on charts.
  -- Improve some layout and design details for chart generation.
• Updates for Traffic-generator methods:
  -- Add parameters to traffic-gen code for lowering the bounce-rate.
  ---- (Lets you perform a click action as part of traffic-gen methods.)
• Make sure that generated presentations include a progress bar.
  -- (This was probably already the default option if not changed.)
• Refactoring:
  -- Move coverage and flake dependencies into own setup.py area.
  ---- (Install coverage tools with: pip install -e .[coverage])
  ---- (Install flake tools with: pip install -e .[flake])
• Update required and optional Python dependencies:
  -- setuptools>=54.1.2;python_version>="3.6"
  -- prompt-toolkit==3.0.17;python_version>="3.6"
  -- flake8==3.9.0;python_version>="3.5"

SeleniumBase ChartMaker lets you use Python to generate HTML charts from HighCharts JS.

Here's an example: https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/chart_maker/chart_presentation.py

SeleniumBase Traffic-generator methods let you generate traffic to a website for testing analytics software that monitors referral sources.

This works by using JavaScript to create a button on a website, which is then clicked in order to take you to a destination page. Website analytics software is easily fooled and believes this traffic to be a genuine referral from the origin website.

self.generate_referral(start_page, destination_page, selector=None)

self.generate_traffic(start_page, destination_page, loops=1, selector=None)

self.generate_referral_chain(pages)

self.generate_traffic_chain(pages, loops=1)

If a selector is provided in the self.generate_referral and self.generate_traffic methods, then the automation will click that button after reaching the destination site. This can prevent an artificial rise in website bounce-rate because the new user performs an action (and therefore doesn't count as a bounce anymore because the user visits a different page of that destination website).

Add method, update console scripts, and update dependencies

Add method, update console scripts, and update dependencies

• Add a new method: self.is_element_enabled(selector):
  -- Use this to check if a button or other element is enabled.
  -- Add language translations for self.is_element_enabled
• Update console scripts:
  -- sbase mkpres FILE.py generates a fancier presentation.
• Update Python dependencies:
  -- ipdb==0.13.6;python_version>="3.6"
  -- pygments==2.8.1;python_version>="3.5"

Update options, tours, dependencies, and more

Update options, tours, dependencies, and more

• Add the --interval=SECONDS option for autoplaying tour steps:
  -- (This effects tours, presentations, and chart displays)
• Update SeleniumBase tours that use the bootstrap-tour library:
  -- (This changes the overall appearance when running tours)
• Update the Ad-Block list:
  -- New entry: [aria-label="Ads"]
• Update Python dependencies:
  -- setuptools>=54.1.1;python_version>="3.6"
  -- Pillow==8.1.2;python_version>="3.6"
  -- rich==9.13.0;python_version>="3.6"

Improve "--reuse-session" / "--rs" mode

Improve --reuse-session / --rs mode

• If the shared session is closed early, share the next session.
• Update a Python dependency:
  -- setuptools>=54.1.0;python_version>="3.6"

Fix a method that finds unique links on a page

Fix a method that finds unique links on a page

• Fix self.get_unique_links():
  -- (Links where the src starts with ./ weren't being processed correctly.)
  -- This also fixes impacted methods such as self.assert_no_404_errors()
• Also update a Python dependency:
  -- setuptools-scm>=5.0.2

Improve reliability of asserting that there are no 404-errors

Improve reliability of asserting that there are no 404-errors

• Improve the results of self.assert_no_404_errors()
• Also update a Python dependency:
  -- allure-pytest==2.8.36;python_version>="3.5"

Allow the "choose_file()" method to work on hidden "input" fields

Allow the choose_file() method to work on hidden "input" fields

• (The choose_file() method lets you upload a file to a website using a file-picker.)

Example usage:

self.choose_file(selector, file_path)

self.choose_file('input[type="file"]', "my_dir/my_file.txt")

See https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/upload_file_test.py for an example test that uses this method.

Fix the pie chart on pytest html reports for path changes

Fix the dashboard pie chart on pytest html reports for path changes:

• The pie chart from the dashboard should now appear on pytest html reports when changing the folder location of the html report.
  -- (For the pie chart to appear on html reports, both the --html=REPORTPATH.html and the --dashboard arguments must be used when calling pytest)

Also update Python dependencies:

• ipdb==0.13.5;python_version>="3.6"
• Pillow==8.1.1;python_version>="3.6"
• rich==9.12.4;python_version>="3.6"
• allure-pytest==2.8.35;python_version>="3.5"
