How to test the jQuery UI slider widget with Selenium IDE?


You can use the dragAndDrop command to move the slider. The following worked for me:

dragAndDrop | css=.ui-slider-handle | +100,0

This moves the slider 100 pixels to the right of its current position.


there is only one (horrible) solution for this. You will have to interact with the slider thought its jquery api.

selenium has a runScript method where you can pass some javascript to run. Do this only as your last resort though, as this will lead you down a slippery slope


Just in case anyone else has this problem and needs another perspective...

I had this problem a while ago and solved it by having the slider populate a hidden field and I used that as my interface with selenium IDE. I wasn't required to verify the slider worked at all so there was no need to test it. I just wanted the value of the slider.
