Annotating Sauce Labs tests in Node JS

SauceLabs does not annotate jobs by default, showing the question marks instead of statuses, and the name of a job is always set to "Unnamed job". Luckily we have all the powers of Sauce Labs REST API in our hands and can both set the name of a job and its final status to something more meaningful. This example demonstrates how it can be done in Node JS. Every Sauce Labs job has a unique ID. We get this ID from the Webdriver object.

Switching between keyboard layouts in Openbox (Arch Linux)

Switching between two (or more) keyboard layouts in Openbox DE is a task that's quite easy to accomplish, although it might not be so obvious as in other desktop environments. This solution was tested on Arch Linux. You just need to edit this file (assuming you want to switch between English and Ukrainian Phonetic layouts with Alt-Shift): /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard-layout" Driver "evdev" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ua(phonetic)" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle" EndSection If you have Nvidia card, don't forget to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and change Driver from "kbd" to "evdev" in InputDevice section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "evdev" EndSection Y...

How to control CPU frequency on Linux Fedora 20

Sometimes you need to make CPU run faster or slower, depending on your needs. In Linux you can control this by using different CPU governors. The following steps were tested on Fedora 20, but most likely they would also work on later versions of Linux Fedora OS. sudo yum install kernel-tools Check the available CPU governors: sudo cpupower frequency-info --governors sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor [governor] More information about the governors here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Power_Management_Guide/cpufreq_governors.html

Using querySelector in Selenium WebDriver

Sometimes it's very helpful if we are able to click some element directly, by calling JavaScript click event. For example, this can be the case when the element is not visible, or not clickable, thus we cannot use native WebDriver methods. WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver; js.executeScript("document.querySelector('.pane .object_options .dropdown-toggle span').click();");
