# WebDriver


New generation Selenium WebDriver module.

## Local Testing

### Selenium

To run Selenium Server you need [Java](https://www.java.com/) as well as Chrome or Firefox browser installed.

1. Download [Selenium Standalone Server](http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/)
2. To use Chrome, install [ChromeDriver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started). To use Firefox, install [GeckoDriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver).
3. Launch the Selenium Server: `java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.xx.xxx.jar`. To locate Chromedriver binary use `-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./chromedriver` option. For Geckodriver use `-Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=./geckodriver`.
4. Configure this module (in `acceptance.suite.yml`) by setting `url` and `browser`:

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: 'http://localhost/'
             browser: chrome # 'chrome' or 'firefox'
```

Launch Selenium Server before executing tests.

```
java -jar "/path/to/selenium-server-standalone-xxx.jar"
```

### ChromeDriver

To run tests in Chrome browser you may connect to ChromeDriver directly, without using Selenium Server.

1. Install [ChromeDriver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started).
2. Launch ChromeDriver: `chromedriver --url-base=/wd/hub`
3. Configure this module to use ChromeDriver port:

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: 'http://localhost/'
             window_size: false # disabled in ChromeDriver
             port: 9515
             browser: chrome
             capabilities:
                 chromeOptions: # additional chrome options
```

Additional [Chrome options](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/capabilities) can be set in `chromeOptions` capabilities.


### PhantomJS

PhantomJS is a [headless browser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_browser) alternative to Selenium Server that implements
[the WebDriver protocol](https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol).
It allows you to run Selenium tests on a server without a GUI installed.

1. Download [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/download.html)
2. Run PhantomJS in WebDriver mode: `phantomjs --webdriver=4444`
3. Configure this module (in `acceptance.suite.yml`) by setting url and `phantomjs` as browser:

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: 'http://localhost/'
             browser: phantomjs
```

Since PhantomJS doesn't give you any visual feedback, it's probably a good idea to install [Codeception\Extension\Recorder](http://codeception.com/extensions#CodeceptionExtensionRecorder) which gives you screenshots of how PhantomJS "sees" your pages.

### Headless Selenium in Docker

Docker can ship Selenium Server with all its dependencies and browsers inside a single container.
Running tests inside Docker is as easy as pulling [official selenium image](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium) and starting a container with Chrome:

```
docker run --net=host selenium/standalone-chrome
```

By using `--net=host` we allow selenium to access local websites.

## Cloud Testing

Cloud Testing services can run your WebDriver tests in the cloud.
In case you want to test a local site or site behind a firewall
you should use a tunnel application provided by a service.

### SauceLabs

1. Create an account at [SauceLabs.com](http://SauceLabs.com) to get your username and access key
2. In the module configuration use the format `username`:`access_key`@ondemand.saucelabs.com' for `host`
3. Configure `platform` under `capabilities` to define the [Operating System](https://docs.saucelabs.com/reference/platforms-configurator/#/)
4. run a tunnel app if your site can't be accessed from Internet

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: http://mysite.com
             host: '<username>:<access key>@ondemand.saucelabs.com'
             port: 80
             browser: chrome
             capabilities:
                 platform: 'Windows 10'
```

### BrowserStack

1. Create an account at [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/) to get your username and access key
2. In the module configuration use the format `username`:`access_key`@hub.browserstack.com' for `host`
3. Configure `os` and `os_version` under `capabilities` to define the operating System
4. If your site is available only locally or via VPN you should use a tunnel app. In this case add `browserstack.local` capability and set it to true.

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: http://mysite.com
             host: '<username>:<access key>@hub.browserstack.com'
             port: 80
             browser: chrome
             capabilities:
                 os: Windows
                 os_version: 10
                 browserstack.local: true # for local testing
```
### TestingBot

1. Create an account at [TestingBot](https://testingbot.com/) to get your key and secret
2. In the module configuration use the format `key`:`secret`@hub.testingbot.com' for `host`
3. Configure `platform` under `capabilities` to define the [Operating System](https://testingbot.com/support/getting-started/browsers.html)
4. Run [TestingBot Tunnel](https://testingbot.com/support/other/tunnel) if your site can't be accessed from Internet

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: http://mysite.com
             host: '<key>:<secret>@hub.testingbot.com'
             port: 80
             browser: chrome
             capabilities:
                 platform: Windows 10
```

Example (`acceptance.suite.yml`)

```yaml
    modules:
       enabled:
          - WebDriver:
             url: 'http://localhost/'
             browser: firefox
             window_size: 1024x768
             capabilities:
                 unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept'
                 firefox_profile: '~/firefox-profiles/codeception-profile.zip.b64'
```

## Usage

### Locating Elements

Most methods in this module that operate on a DOM element (e.g. `click`) accept a locator as the first argument,
which can be either a string or an array.

If the locator is an array, it should have a single element,
with the key signifying the locator type (`id`, `name`, `css`, `xpath`, `link`, or `class`)
and the value being the locator itself.
This is called a "strict" locator.
Examples:

* `['id' => 'foo']` matches `<div id="foo">`
* `['name' => 'foo']` matches `<div name="foo">`
* `['css' => 'input[type=input][value=foo]']` matches `<input type="input" value="foo">`
* `['xpath' => "//input[@type='submit'][contains(@value, 'foo')]"]` matches `<input type="submit" value="foobar">`
* `['link' => 'Click here']` matches `<a href="google.com">Click here</a>`
* `['class' => 'foo']` matches `<div class="foo">`

Writing good locators can be tricky.
The Mozilla team has written an excellent guide titled [Writing reliable locators for Selenium and WebDriver tests](https://blog.mozilla.org/webqa/2013/09/26/writing-reliable-locators-for-selenium-and-webdriver-tests/).

If you prefer, you may also pass a string for the locator. This is called a "fuzzy" locator.
In this case, Codeception uses a a variety of heuristics (depending on the exact method called) to determine what element you're referring to.
For example, here's the heuristic used for the `submitForm` method:

1. Does the locator look like an ID selector (e.g. "#foo")? If so, try to find a form matching that ID.
2. If nothing found, check if locator looks like a CSS selector. If so, run it.
3. If nothing found, check if locator looks like an XPath expression. If so, run it.
4. Throw an `ElementNotFound` exception.

Be warned that fuzzy locators can be significantly slower than strict locators.
Especially if you use Selenium WebDriver with `wait` (aka implicit wait) option.
In the example above if you set `wait` to 5 seconds and use XPath string as fuzzy locator,
`submitForm` method will wait for 5 seconds at each step.
That means 5 seconds finding the form by ID, another 5 seconds finding by CSS
until it finally tries to find the form by XPath).
If speed is a concern, it's recommended you stick with explicitly specifying the locator type via the array syntax.

## Public Properties

* `webDriver` - instance of `\Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver`. Can be accessed from Helper classes for complex WebDriver interactions.

```php
// inside Helper class
$this->getModule('WebDriver')->webDriver->getKeyboard()->sendKeys('hello, webdriver');
```


## Actions

### _backupSession

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Returns current WebDriver session for saving

 * `return` RemoteWebDriver


### _capabilities

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Change capabilities of WebDriver. Should be executed before starting a new browser session.
This method expects a function to be passed which returns array or [WebDriver Desired Capabilities](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/blob/community/lib/Remote/DesiredCapabilities.php) object.
Additional [Chrome options](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/wiki/ChromeOptions) (like adding extensions) can be passed as well.

```php
<?php // in helper
public function _before(TestInterface $test)
{
    $this->getModule('WebDriver')->_capabilities(function($currentCapabilities) {
        // or new \Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities();
        return \Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities::firefox();
    });
}
```

to make this work load `\Helper\Acceptance` before `WebDriver` in `acceptance.suite.yml`:

```yaml
modules:
    enabled:
        - \Helper\Acceptance
        - WebDriver
```

For instance, [**BrowserStack** cloud service](https://www.browserstack.com/automate/capabilities) may require a test name to be set in capabilities.
This is how it can be done via `_capabilities` method from `Helper\Acceptance`:

```php
<?php // inside Helper\Acceptance
public function _before(TestInterface $test)
{
     $name = $test->getMetadata()->getName();
     $this->getModule('WebDriver')->_capabilities(function($currentCapabilities) use ($name) {
         $currentCapabilities['name'] = $name;
         return $currentCapabilities;
     });
}
```
In this case, please ensure that `\Helper\Acceptance` is loaded before WebDriver so new capabilities could be applied.

 * `param \Closure` $capabilityFunction


### _closeSession

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Manually closes current WebDriver session.

```php
<?php
$this->getModule('WebDriver')->_closeSession();

// close a specific session
$webDriver = $this->getModule('WebDriver')->webDriver;
$this->getModule('WebDriver')->_closeSession($webDriver);
```

 * `param` $webDriver (optional) a specific webdriver session instance


### _findClickable

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Locates a clickable element.

Use it in Helpers or GroupObject or Extension classes:

```php
<?php
$module = $this->getModule('WebDriver');
$page = $module->webDriver;

// search a link or button on a page
$el = $module->_findClickable($page, 'Click Me');

// search a link or button within an element
$topBar = $module->_findElements('.top-bar')[0];
$el = $module->_findClickable($topBar, 'Click Me');

```
 * `param RemoteWebDriver` $page WebDriver instance or an element to search within
 * `param` $link a link text or locator to click
 * `return` WebDriverElement


### _findElements

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Locates element using available Codeception locator types:

* XPath
* CSS
* Strict Locator

Use it in Helpers or GroupObject or Extension classes:

```php
<?php
$els = $this->getModule('WebDriver')->_findElements('.items');
$els = $this->getModule('WebDriver')->_findElements(['name' => 'username']);

$editLinks = $this->getModule('WebDriver')->_findElements(['link' => 'Edit']);
// now you can iterate over $editLinks and check that all them have valid hrefs
```

WebDriver module returns `Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebElement` instances
PhpBrowser and Framework modules return `Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler` instances

 * `param` $locator
 * `return` array of interactive elements


### _getCurrentUri

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Uri of currently opened page.
 * `return` string
@throws ModuleException


### _getUrl

*hidden API method, expected to be used from Helper classes*
 
Returns URL of a host.

@throws ModuleConfigException

### click
 
Perform a click on a link or a button, given by a locator.
If a fuzzy locator is given, the page will be searched for a button, link, or image matching the locator string.
For buttons, the "value" attribute, "name" attribute, and inner text are searched.
For links, the link text is searched.
For images, the "alt" attribute and inner text of any parent links are searched.

The second parameter is a context (CSS or XPath locator) to narrow the search.

Note that if the locator matches a button of type `submit`, the form will be submitted.

``` php
<?php
// simple link
$I->click('Logout');
// button of form
$I->click('Submit');
// CSS button
$I->click('#form input[type=submit]');
// XPath
$I->click('//form/*[@type=submit]');

If the first parameter `null` then the offset is relative to the actual mouse position.
If the second and third parameters are given,
then the mouse is moved to an offset of the element's top-left corner.
Otherwise, the mouse is moved to the center of the element.

``` php
<?php
$I->clickWithRightButton(['css' => '.checkout']);
$I->clickWithRightButton(null, 20, 50);
$I->clickWithRightButton(['css' => '.checkout'], 20, 50);

Can't be used with PhantomJS


### debugWebDriverLogs
 
Print out latest Selenium Logs in debug mode

 * `param TestInterface` $test


### deleteSessionSnapshot
 
Deletes session snapshot.

See [saveSessionSnapshot](#saveSessionSnapshot)

 * `param` $name


### dontSee
 
Checks that the current page doesn't contain the text specified (case insensitive).
Give a locator as the second parameter to match a specific region.

```php
<?php
$I->dontSee('Login');                         // I can suppose user is already logged in
$I->dontSee('Sign Up','h1');                  // I can suppose it's not a signup page
$I->dontSee('Sign Up','//body/h1');           // with XPath
$I->dontSee('Sign Up', ['css' => 'body h1']); // with strict CSS locator
```

Note that the search is done after stripping all HTML tags from the body,
so `$I->dontSee('strong')` will fail on strings like:

  - `<p>I am Stronger than thou</p>`
  - `<script>document.createElement('strong');</script>`

But will ignore strings like:

  - `<strong>Home</strong>`
  - `<div class="strong">Home</strong>`
  - `<!-- strong -->`

For checking the raw source code, use `seeInSource()`.

 * `param string` $text
 * `param string` $selector optional


### dontSeeCheckboxIsChecked
 
Check that the specified checkbox is unchecked.

``` php
<?php
$I->dontSeeCheckboxIsChecked('#agree'); // I suppose user didn't agree to terms
$I->seeCheckboxIsChecked('#signup_form input[type=checkbox]'); // I suppose user didn't check the first checkbox in form.
?>
```

 * `param` $checkbox


### dontSeeCookie

$I->dontSeeCurrentUrlEquals('/');
?>
```

 * `param string` $uri


### dontSeeCurrentUrlMatches

### dontSeeInField
 
Checks that an input field or textarea doesn't contain the given value.
For fuzzy locators, the field is matched by label text, CSS and XPath.

``` php
<?php
$I->dontSeeInField('Body','Type your comment here');
$I->dontSeeInField('form textarea[name=body]','Type your comment here');
$I->dontSeeInField('form input[type=hidden]','hidden_value');
$I->dontSeeInField('#searchform input','Search');
$I->dontSeeInField('//form/*[@name=search]','Search');
$I->dontSeeInField(['name' => 'search'], 'Search');
?>
```

 * `param` $field
 * `param` $value


### dontSeeInFormFields
 
Checks if the array of form parameters (name => value) are not set on the form matched with
the passed selector.

$I->dontSeeInFormFields('form[name=myform]', [
     'input1' => 'non-existent value',
     'input2' => 'other non-existent value',
]);
?>
```

To check that an element hasn't been assigned any one of many values, an array can be passed
as the value:

``` php
<?php
$I->dontSeeInFormFields('.form-class', [
     'fieldName' => [
         'This value shouldn\'t be set',
         'And this value shouldn\'t be set',
     ],
]);
?>
```

Additionally, checkbox values can be checked with a boolean.

``` php
<?php
$I->dontSeeInFormFields('#form-id', [

### executeInSelenium
 
Low-level API method.
If Codeception commands are not enough, this allows you to use Selenium WebDriver methods directly:

``` php
$I->executeInSelenium(function(\Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver $webdriver) {
  $webdriver->get('http://google.com');
});
```

This runs in the context of the
[RemoteWebDriver class](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/blob/master/lib/remote/RemoteWebDriver.php).
Try not to use this command on a regular basis.
If Codeception lacks a feature you need, please implement it and submit a patch.

 * `param callable` $function


### executeJS

If the first parameter null then the page is used.
If the second and third parameters are given,
then the mouse is moved to an offset of the element's top-left corner.
Otherwise, the mouse is moved to the center of the element.

``` php
<?php
$I->moveMouseOver(['css' => '.checkout']);
$I->moveMouseOver(null, 20, 50);
$I->moveMouseOver(['css' => '.checkout'], 20, 50);

Tab is opened by using `window.open` javascript in a browser.
Please note, that adblock can restrict creating such tabs.

Can't be used with PhantomJS



### pauseExecution
 
Pauses test execution in debug mode.
To proceed test press "ENTER" in console.

This method is useful while writing tests,
since it allows you to inspect the current page in the middle of a test case.


### performOn
 
Waits for element and runs a sequence of actions inside its context.
Actions can be defined with array, callback, or `Codeception\Util\ActionSequence` instance.

Actions as array are recommended for simple to combine "waitForElement" with assertions;
`waitForElement($el)` and `see('text', $el)` can be simplified to:

```php
<?php
$I->performOn($el, ['see' => 'text']);
```

List of actions can be pragmatically build using `Codeception\Util\ActionSequence`:

```php
<?php
$I->performOn('.model', ActionSequence::build()
    ->see('Warning')
    ->see('Are you sure you want to delete this?')
    ->click('Yes')
);
```

Actions executed from array or ActionSequence will print debug output for actions, and adds an action name to
exception on failure.

Whenever you need to define more actions a callback can be used. A WebDriver module is passed for argument:

```php
<?php
$I->performOn('.rememberMe', function (WebDriver $I) {
     $I->see('Remember me next time');
     $I->seeElement('#LoginForm_rememberMe');
     $I->dontSee('Login');
});
```

In 3rd argument you can set number a seconds to wait for element to appear

 * `param` $element
 * `param` $actions
 * `param int` $timeout


### pressKey
 
Presses the given key on the given element.
To specify a character and modifier (e.g. ctrl, alt, shift, meta), pass an array for $char with
the modifier as the first element and the character as the second.
For special keys use key constants from WebDriverKeys class.

``` php
<?php
// <input id="page" value="old" />
$I->pressKey('#page','a'); // => olda
$I->pressKey('#page',array('ctrl','a'),'new'); //=> new
$I->pressKey('#page',array('shift','111'),'1','x'); //=> old!!!1x
$I->pressKey('descendant-or-self::*[@id='page']','u'); //=> oldu
$I->pressKey('#name', array('ctrl', 'a'), \Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverKeys::DELETE); //=>''
?>
```

 * `param` $element

``` php
<?php
$I->resizeWindow(800, 600);

```

 * `param int` $width
 * `param int` $height


### saveSessionSnapshot
 
Saves current cookies into named snapshot in order to restore them in other tests
This is useful to save session state between tests.
For example, if user needs log in to site for each test this scenario can be executed once
while other tests can just restore saved cookies.

``` php
<?php
// inside AcceptanceTester class:

public function login()
{
     // if snapshot exists - skipping login
     if ($I->loadSessionSnapshot('login')) return;

     // logging in
     $I->amOnPage('/login');
     $I->fillField('name', 'jon');
     $I->fillField('password', '123345');
     $I->click('Login');

     // saving snapshot
     $I->saveSessionSnapshot('login');
}
?>
```

 * `param` $name


### scrollTo
 
Move to the middle of the given element matched by the given locator.
Extra shift, calculated from the top-left corner of the element,
can be set by passing $offsetX and $offsetY parameters.

``` php
<?php
$I->scrollTo(['css' => '.checkout'], 20, 50);
?>
```

 * `param` $selector
 * `param int` $offsetX
 * `param int` $offsetY


### see
 
Checks that the current page contains the given string (case insensitive).

You can specify a specific HTML element (via CSS or XPath) as the second
parameter to only search within that element.

``` php
<?php
$I->see('Logout');                        // I can suppose user is logged in
$I->see('Sign Up', 'h1');                 // I can suppose it's a signup page
$I->see('Sign Up', '//body/h1');          // with XPath
$I->see('Sign Up', ['css' => 'body h1']); // with strict CSS locator
```

Note that the search is done after stripping all HTML tags from the body,
so `$I->see('strong')` will return true for strings like:

  - `<p>I am Stronger than thou</p>`
  - `<script>document.createElement('strong');</script>`

But will *not* be true for strings like:

  - `<strong>Home</strong>`
  - `<div class="strong">Home</strong>`

$I->seeElement('input', ['value' => '123456']);

// strict locator in first arg, attributes in second
$I->seeElement(['css' => 'form input'], ['name' => 'login']);
?>
```

 * `param` $selector

$I->seeInField('form textarea[name=body]','Type your comment here');
$I->seeInField('form input[type=hidden]','hidden_value');
$I->seeInField('#searchform input','Search');
$I->seeInField('//form/*[@name=search]','Search');

     'input1' => 'value',
     'input2' => 'other value',
]);
?>
```

For multi-select elements, or to check values of multiple elements with the same name, an
array may be passed:

``` php
<?php
$I->seeInFormFields('.form-class', [
     'multiselect' => [
         'value1',
         'value2',
     ],
     'checkbox[]' => [
         'a checked value',
         'another checked value',
     ],
]);
?>
```

Additionally, checkbox values can be checked with a boolean.

``` php
<?php
$I->seeInFormFields('#form-id', [
     'checkbox1' => true,        // passes if checked
     'checkbox2' => false,       // passes if unchecked
]);
?>
```

Pair this with submitForm for quick testing magic.

``` php
<?php
$form = [
     'field1' => 'value',
     'field2' => 'another value',
     'checkbox1' => true,
     // ...
];
$I->submitForm('//form[@id=my-form]', $form, 'submitButton');
// $I->amOnPage('/path/to/form-page') may be needed

$I->selectOption('form select[name=account]', 'Premium');
$I->selectOption('form input[name=payment]', 'Monthly');
$I->selectOption('//form/select[@name=account]', 'Monthly');
?>
```

Provide an array for the second argument to select multiple options:

``` php
<?php
$I->selectOption('Which OS do you use?', array('Windows','Linux'));
?>
```

Or provide an associative array for the second argument to specifically define which selection method should be used:

``` php
<?php
$I->selectOption('Which OS do you use?', array('text' => 'Windows')); // Only search by text 'Windows'
$I->selectOption('Which OS do you use?', array('value' => 'windows')); // Only search by value 'windows'
?>
```

 * `param` $select
 * `param` $option


### setCookie

?>
```

 * `param` $name
 * `param` $val
 * `param array` $params



### submitForm
 
Submits the given form on the page, optionally with the given form
values.  Give the form fields values as an array. Note that hidden fields
can't be accessed.

Skipped fields will be filled by their values from the page.
You don't need to click the 'Submit' button afterwards.
This command itself triggers the request to form's action.

You can optionally specify what button's value to include
in the request with the last parameter as an alternative to
explicitly setting its value in the second parameter, as
button values are not otherwise included in the request.

Examples:

``` php
<?php
$I->submitForm('#login', [
    'login' => 'davert',
    'password' => '123456'
]);
// or
$I->submitForm('#login', [
    'login' => 'davert',
    'password' => '123456'
], 'submitButtonName');

```

For example, given this sample "Sign Up" form:

``` html
<form action="/sign_up">
    Login:
    <input type="text" name="user[login]" /><br/>
    Password:
    <input type="password" name="user[password]" /><br/>
    Do you agree to our terms?
    <input type="checkbox" name="user[agree]" /><br/>
    Select pricing plan:
    <select name="plan">
        <option value="1">Free</option>
        <option value="2" selected="selected">Paid</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
</form>
```

You could write the following to submit it:

``` php
<?php
$I->submitForm(
    '#userForm',
    [
        'user[login]' => 'Davert',
        'user[password]' => '123456',
        'user[agree]' => true
    ],
    'submitButton'
);
```
Note that "2" will be the submitted value for the "plan" field, as it is
the selected option.

Also note that this differs from PhpBrowser, in that
```'user' => [ 'login' => 'Davert' ]``` is not supported at the moment.
Named array keys *must* be included in the name as above.

Pair this with seeInFormFields for quick testing magic.

``` php
<?php
$form = [
     'field1' => 'value',
     'field2' => 'another value',
     'checkbox1' => true,
     // ...
];
$I->submitForm('//form[@id=my-form]', $form, 'submitButton');
// $I->amOnPage('/path/to/form-page') may be needed
$I->seeInFormFields('//form[@id=my-form]', $form);
?>
```

Parameter values must be set to arrays for multiple input fields
of the same name, or multi-select combo boxes.  For checkboxes,
either the string value can be used, or boolean values which will
be replaced by the checkbox's value in the DOM.

``` php
<?php
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
     'field1' => 'value',
     'checkbox' => [
         'value of first checkbox',
         'value of second checkbox,
     ],
     'otherCheckboxes' => [
         true,
         false,
         false
     ],
     'multiselect' => [
         'first option value',
         'second option value'
     ]
]);
?>
```

Mixing string and boolean values for a checkbox's value is not supported
and may produce unexpected results.

Field names ending in "[]" must be passed without the trailing square
bracket characters, and must contain an array for its value.  This allows
submitting multiple values with the same name, consider:

```php
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
    'field[]' => 'value',
    'field[]' => 'another value', // 'field[]' is already a defined key
]);
```

The solution is to pass an array value:

```php
// this way both values are submitted
$I->submitForm('#my-form', [
    'field' => [
        'value',
        'another value',
    ]
]);
```

The `$button` parameter can be either a string, an array or an instance
of Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverBy. When it is a string, the
button will be found by its "name" attribute. If $button is an
array then it will be treated as a strict selector and a WebDriverBy
will be used verbatim.

For example, given the following HTML:

``` html
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
```

`$button` could be any one of the following:
  - 'submitButton'
  - ['name' => 'submitButton']
  - WebDriverBy::name('submitButton')

 * `param` $selector
 * `param` $params
 * `param` $button


### switchToIFrame
 
Switch to another frame on the page.

Example:
``` html
<iframe name="another_frame" src="http://example.com">

```

``` php
<?php
# switch to iframe
$I->switchToIFrame("another_frame");
# switch to parent page
$I->switchToIFrame();

```

 * `param string|null` $name


### switchToNextTab
 
Switches to next browser tab.
An offset can be specified.

```php
<?php

// switch to 2nd next tab
$I->switchToNextTab(2);
```

Can't be used with PhantomJS

 * `param int` $offset 1


### switchToPreviousTab
 
Switches to previous browser tab.
An offset can be specified.

```php
<?php
// switch to previous tab
$I->switchToPreviousTab();
// switch to 2nd previous tab
$I->switchToPreviousTab(2);
```

Can't be used with PhantomJS

 * `param int` $offset 1


### switchToWindow
 
Switch to another window identified by name.

The window can only be identified by name. If the $name parameter is blank, the parent window will be used.

Example:
``` html
<input type="button" value="Open window" onclick="window.open('http://example.com', 'another_window')">
```

``` php
<?php
$I->click("Open window");
# switch to another window
$I->switchToWindow("another_window");
# switch to parent window
$I->switchToWindow();
?>
```

If the window has no name, match it by switching to next active tab using `switchToNextTab` method.

Or use native Selenium functions to get access to all opened windows:

``` php
<?php
$I->executeInSelenium(function (\Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver $webdriver) {
     $handles=$webdriver->getWindowHandles();
     $last_window = end($handles);
     $webdriver->switchTo()->window($last_window);

$I->waitForElementChange('#menu', function(WebDriverElement $el) {
    return $el->isDisplayed();
}, 100);
