swhgoon / wookie-view

Mini-selenium which uses WebView from JavaFX.

wookie-view

WookieView is made to simplify WebView usage and replace Selenium in some of the tasks, maybe. With WookieView you can easily automatize web browsing operations like searching with Google Search, visiting your Facebook page with your login and password, crawling through a forum and downloading files.

WookieView is pure JDK, it uses a few Java libraries and could remind of lightweight Selenium.

Features

• Concise syntax
• JQuery support
• Embedding scripts into existing pages (i.e. jQuery, Firebug, your manual JS scripts)
• File downloads
• Scala & Java 8 support
• Simple plain script and event-driven API

How to open this project in IDE

To open a project in your IDE, just import it as a Maven project.

Code Examples

Code examples can be found in an example folder. Some few examples from there:

Search Google

load("http://www.google.com")

$("input[maxlength]")
  .value("wookie-view")
  .submit() // execution is blocked here during submit()

println("results: " + $("h3.r").asResultList)

Click 'Sign In' button at GitHub

$("a.button.signin").followLink()

Submit a form

// fill login data at the login page
$("#login_field").value(login)
$("#password").value(password)
  .submit()

Configuring the WookieView

WookieView wookieView = WookieView.newBuilder
    .useFirebug(false)
    .useJQuery(true)
    .createWebView(true)  // WookieView can be invisible
    .includeJsScript(io.Source.fromInputStream(getClass.getResourceAsStream("/wookie/downloadJDK.js")).mkString)
    .build()

Follow a link after a Google Search query

load("http://www.google.com")

$("input[maxlength]")
  .value("wookie-view")
  .submit()

System.out.println("results: " + $("h3.r").asResultList)

// get the list of result links with CSS selector,
// find a link in it and follow it
$("h3.r a").asResultList().find(_.text().contains("chaschev")).get.followLink()

Download a file (Scala)

addDownloadHook(new LocationMatcher(loc =>
    loc.contains("download.oracle.com") && loc.contains("?")
))
downloadLink.get.followLink()
