Basic Usage

Just require 'webdrone' and call Webdrone.create with a timeout: parameter (required). Using the returned object you can open a URL, fill forms, click HTML elements, etc. We use a0 as the name of this object, it is short and sweet.

For closing the browser, call a0.quit.

require 'webdrone'

a0 = Webdrone.create timeout: 5
a0.open.url         'http://www.google.com/'
a0.form.set         'q', 'Servicios A0 SpA'
a0.form.submit
a0.wait.time         1
a0.clic.on          'Maps'
a0.wait.time         5
a0.quit

If you want to make sure the browser is closed no matter what, pass a block of code to Webdrone.create.

Webdrone.create timeout: 5 do |a0|
  a0.open.url         'http://www.google.com/'
  a0.form.set         'q', 'Servicios A0 SpA'
  a0.form.submit
  a0.wait.time         1
  a0.clic.on          'Maps'
  a0.wait.time         5
end

Using a block on create has the advantage that any exception will be handled by Webdrone. See Error Handling.

Changing Browsers

By default, Webdrone uses Firefox. To change the browser, use the browser: parameter:

a0 = Webdrone.create timeout: 10, browser: :chrome

Current tested browsers are :firefox, :safari, :ie and :chrome; running on OS X, Linux and Windows.
