Selenium/Ruby/Cindy The Browser Test Bot

It all started with Barry, then Cindy and Frankie appeared. There isn't a lot to be found about Frankie. Cindy is the only bot still used.

Advantages

• You do not have to install anything on your machine.
• You are probably already familiar with Gerrit and Wikimedia Labs.
• While the tests are running, you can continue using your machine as usual, because everything is happening in Wikimedia Labs.
• Debugging failed tests will be easier, since you will see the browser, logs, screenshots and video of the test run.

Disadvantages

• You will need internet connection while running the tests.
• You might not be familiar with Gerrit or Wikimedia Labs, so you will have to learn how to use yet another tool.

Run the Selenium tests

• Push commit for CirrusSearch to Gerrit.
• Example: 310359.
• Cindy will run automatically.
• When the tests are done, Cindy will leave a comment in Gerrit.
• If there were errors, the comment will be
