Selenium Core 0.8.2 Released

Version 0.8.2 is a bug-fix release for Selenium Core. A critical bug was fixed in all waitFor* commands that made them never timeout. Other bug fixes were mostly in in element highlighting and support for IE HTA mode.

Warnings:

  • Selenium's support for handling baseUrls has changed from version 0.8.1. Whereas before, opening relative URLs with the "open" command would result in windows opening relative to TestRunner.html, they now open relative to your test suite. Tests using relative URLs may therefore fail in 0.8.2. Fortunately, 0.8.2 also adds support for specifying an arbitrary baseUrl by specifying it in the TestRunner query string, like this: TestRunner.html?baseUrl=http://localhost/blah/

Note that your baseUrl should end with a "/". If it does not end in a slash, we'll have to assume that it's really a file and strip off everything after the slash.

  • Use of the multiWindow layout in Firefox requires installation of the "readyState.xpi" extension, available in the Selenium Core distribution.

    I have one question: is the Selenium Jira actually active? For example the waitFor* problem was reported there as well http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SEL-389. Of all my five reports there not a single one has generated any feedback.

    So what's the preferred way to report bugs and submit patches?
