automated testing

With IE Of “ Sudden death ”,Edge It has become the new successor of Microsoft in the browser field . But for many developers, this is a very painful thing ,“ That's not right ！ You are deceiving me ！”, Not all programmers hate IE Browser ？

This is mainly because many old systems support IE, The automated testing for these businesses is also based on IEDriver Of , Before IE While I was still here , We can even use VBA You can easily handle automated testing .

But when switching to Edge after , This will become extremely difficult （ Unless you install something VBA Of Selenium library , We'll talk about this later ）.

For the business site , In itself Edge Yes, there is IE Mode , such , The business site only needs to set it in the browser , You can switch to... Almost insensibly Edge Continue working on the browser . So how can the test automation office or test team proceed quickly Edge(IE  Pattern ) Development or transformation of ？ Today we will briefly introduce to you how to quickly use Python To achieve such a demand .

What is? IE Pattern

stay  Microsoft Edge  Use in  IE  Pattern , You can easily use all the websites your organization needs in one browser .  This mode uses integration for new web sites  Chromium  engine , And use for old websites  Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)  Medium  Trident MSHTML  engine .

After setting up , We can see , There will be one more in front of the normal address bar ie The icon .

1. IE  The following modes are supported  Internet Explorer  function

• All document patterns and enterprise patterns .

3.  How to set up

open Edge Set up , Then select the default browser . You can see the relevant content on the right , Set as required .

Python How to achieve IE Pattern

1.  download IEDriver

https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/

2.  install selenium library

pip install selenium

3.  Sample code

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

ie_options = webdriver.IeOptions()
ie_options.attach_to_edge_chrome = True
ie_options.edge_executable_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe"

driver = webdriver.Ie(executable_path=r"D:\IEDriverServer.exe", options=ie_options)

driver.get("http://www.bing.com")
elem = driver.find_element(By.ID, 'sb_form_q')
elem.send_keys('IT volute -Tango' + Keys.RETURN)

driver.quit()

driver = webdriver.Ie(executable_path=r"D:\IEDriverServer.exe", options=ie_options)

The path here is the one we just downloaded IEDriver The path to save , Considering that some scenarios are inconvenient to add environment variables , It is written in this form .

The main function of this code is to search on Bing “IT volute -Tango”.

That's what we're talking about today , We will continue to share later .

I am a Tango, An ape who loves sharing technology , See you next time .
