The browser type and other configuration options can be defined in the twist.properties file.

The following Selenium options are supported in Twist:

• -port <nnnn>: the port number the Selenium server should use (default 4444).
• -timeout <nnnn>: number of seconds before we should give up (integer).
• -multiWindow: puts you into a mode where the web site under test executes in a separate window. Selenium supports frames in this mode.
• -forcedBrowserMode <browser>: sets the browser mode (e.g. "*iexplore" for all sessions, no matter what is passed to getNewBrowserSession().
• -userExtensions <file> indicates a JavaScript file that will be loaded into Selenium.
• -browserSessionReuse: stops re-initialization and spawning of the browser between tests.
• -avoidProxy: By default, Selenium proxies every browser request. Set this flag to make the browser use Selenium proxy only for URLs containing '/selenium-server'
• -firefoxProfileTemplate <dir>: normally, a fresh Firefox profile is generated for each launch. You can specify the Firefox profile directory instead.
• -proxyInjectionMode: puts you into proxy injection mode, a mode where the Selenium server acts as a proxy server for all content going to the application under test. Under this mode, multiple domains can be visited, and the following additional flags are supported:
  • -dontInjectRegex <regex>: regular expression of URLs used to bypass proxy injection mode.
  • -userJsInjection <file>: specifies a JavaScript file which will be injected into all pages.
  • -userContentTransformation <regex> <replacement>: a regular expression which is matched against all test HTML content; the second is a string which will replace matches.
  These flags can be used any number of times. An example of how this could be useful: if you add "-userContentTransformation https http" then all "https" strings in the HTML of the application under test will be changed to "http".

Addtional properties

• -Dhttp.proxyHost, -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts and -Dhttp.proxyPort.
• Selenium RC normally overrides your proxy server configuration, using the Selenium Server as a proxy. Use these options if you need to use your own proxy together with the Selenium Server proxy. selenium.server.options = -port 4545 -proxyInjectionMode
• selenium.browserLauncher = *pifirefox
• selenium.browserURL = http://localhost

Twist specific selenium driver options

• twist.selenium.enableImplicitWait Setting 'twist.selenium.enableImplicitWait' to true is relevant when proxyInjectionMode option is set in selenium.server.options
• twist.selenium.highlight = true|false
• twist.selenium.enableImplicitWait = true|false

The Selenium configurations currently not supported in Twist by default are

1. -log: writes lots of debug information out to a log file
2. -debug: puts you into debug mode, with more trace information and diagnostics
