soda: Selenium adapter for Node.js

Soda the latest project from LearnBoost, brings Selenium RC to Node.js.

Install Soda via npm

$ npm install soda

and with your Selenium server running you can run an example in your Node app with:

$ node examples/my_example.js

As with most everything Node, example actions are callback-driven:

browser.session(function(err){
  browser.open('/', function(err, body, res){
    browser.type('q', 'Hello World', function(err, body, res){
      browser.testComplete(function(){

      });
    });
  });
});

To keep your code from looking like a set of Matryoshka dolls, Soda supports chaining:

browser
  .chain
  .session()
  .open('/')
  .type('q', 'Hello World')
  .testComplete()
  .end(function(err){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log('done');
  });

Testing in the cloud

With Saucelabs, you can even move your acceptance testing to the cloud:

var soda = require('soda')
  , assert = require('assert');

var browser = soda.createSauceClient({
    'url': 'http://sirrobertborden.ca.app.learnboost.com/'
  , 'username': '<your username>'
  , 'access-key': '<your api key>'
  , 'os': 'Linux'
  , 'browser': 'firefox'
  , 'browser-version': '3.'
  , 'max-duration': 300 // 5 minutes
});

Keep an eye on the README and API docs for more advanced examples.
