How to call JavaScript function from Selenium RC using Java

Question

I have user-extensions.js that contain the following code of snippet:

Selenium.prototype.doTypeRepeated = function(locator, text) {
    // All locator-strategies are automatically handled by "findElement"
    var element = this.page().findElement(locator);

    // Create the text to type
    var valueToType = text + text;

        // Replace the element text with the new text
    this.page().replaceText(element, valueToType);
};

I want to call this function from java code using Selenium RC for a text field ("css=input.text"). How can I call this?

Answer 1

From a top of my head you should be able to call your code the following way:

selenium.getEval("Selenium.prototype.doTypeRepeated('input.text', 'some text');");

However, if following suggested approach you should do like

HttpCommandProcessor proc;
proc = new HttpCommandProcessor("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://google.com/");
Selenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium(proc);
string[] inputParams = {"css=input.text", "Hello World"};
proc.DoCommand("doTypeRepeated", inputParams);

And not forget to start selenium as

java -jar selenium-server.jar -userExtensions user-extensions.js
