# CasperJS

>**Important note:** the `master` branch hosts the development version of CasperJS, which is now pretty stable and should be the right version to use if you ask me.
>
>Use the [`1.0` branch](https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/tree/1.0) if you want to keep in sync with the stable old version, or [use tagged versions](https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/tags).
>
>Currently, available documentation is:
>
>- **hosted on [docs.casperjs.org](http://docs.casperjs.org/) for the development branch**
>- hosted on [casperjs.org](http://casperjs.org/) for the 1.0 branch

>- 1.0 tests unfortunately have to be run manually using the `casperjs selftest` command

CasperJS is a navigation scripting & testing utility for [PhantomJS](http://www.phantomjs.org/)
and [SlimerJS](http://slimerjs.org/). It eases the process of defining a full navigation
scenario and provides useful high-level functions, methods & syntaxic sugar for doing common
tasks such as:

- defining & ordering [navigation steps](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html)
- [filling forms](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#fill)
- [clicking links](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#click)
- [capturing screenshots](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#captureselector) of a page (or an area)
- [making assertions on remote DOM](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/tester.html)
- [logging](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/logging.html) & [events](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/events-filters.html)
- [downloading](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#download) resources, even binary ones
- catching errors and react accordingly
- writing [functional test suites](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/testing.html), exporting results as JUnit XML (xUnit)

## Show me some code!

First [install CasperJS](http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/installation.html), we'll use 1.1 beta here.

Sample test to see if some dropdown can be opened:

```javascript
casper.test.begin('a twitter bootstrap dropdown can be opened', 2, function(test) {
    casper.start('http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/javascript.html#dropdowns', function() {
        test.assertExists('#navbar-example');
        this.click('#dropdowns .nav-pills .dropdown:last-of-type a.dropdown-toggle');
        this.waitUntilVisible('#dropdowns .nav-pills .open', function() {
            test.pass('Dropdown is open');
        });
    }).run(function() {
        test.done();
    });
});
```

Run the script:
