+Actions
+=======
+
+.. py:currentmodule:: marionette_driver.marionette
+
+Action Sequences
+----------------
+
+:class:`Actions` are designed as a way to simulate user input like a keyboard
+or a pointer device as closely as possible. For multiple interactions an
+action sequence can be used::
+
+ element = marionette.find_element("id", "input")
+ element.click()
+
+ key_chain = self.marionette.actions.sequence("key", "keyboard1")
+ key_chain.send_keys("fooba").pause(100).key_down("r").perform()
+
+This will simulate entering "fooba" into the input field, waiting for 100ms,
+and pressing the key "r". The pause is optional in this case, but can be useful
+for simulating delays typical to a users behaviour.

+Debugging
+=========
+
+.. py:currentmodule:: marionette_driver.marionette
+
+Sometimes when working with Marionette you'll run into unexpected behaviour and
+need to do some debugging. This page outlines some of the Marionette methods
+that can be useful to you.
+
+Please note that the best tools for debugging are the `ones that ship with
+Gecko`_. This page doesn't describe how to use those with Marionette. Also see
+a related topic about `using the debugger with Marionette`_ on MDN.
+
+.. _ones that ship with Gecko: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools
+.. _using the debugger with Marionette: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Marionette/Debugging
+
+Seeing What's on the Page
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Sometimes it's difficult to tell what is actually on the page that is being
+manipulated. Either because it happens too fast, the window isn't big enough or
+you are manipulating a remote server! There are two methods that can help you
+out. The first is :func:`~Marionette.screenshot`::
+
+ marionette.screenshot() # takes screenshot of entire frame
+ elem = marionette.find_element(By.ID, 'some-div')
+ marionette.screenshot(elem) # takes a screenshot of only the given element
+
+Sometimes you just want to see the DOM layout. You can do this with the
+:attr:`~Marionette.page_source` property. Note that the page source depends on
+the context you are in::
+
+ print(marionette.page_source)
+ marionette.set_context('chrome')
+ print(marionette.page_source)

+Finding Elements
+================
+.. py:currentmodule:: marionette_driver.marionette
+
+One of the most common and yet often most difficult tasks in Marionette is
+finding a DOM element on a webpage or in the chrome UI. Marionette provides
+several different search strategies to use when finding elements. All search
+strategies work with both :func:`~Marionette.find_element` and
+:func:`~Marionette.find_elements`, though some strategies are not implemented
+in chrome scope.
+
+In the event that more than one element is matched by the query,
+:func:`~Marionette.find_element` will only return the first element found. In
+the event that no elements are matched by the query,
+:func:`~Marionette.find_element` will raise `NoSuchElementException` while
+:func:`~Marionette.find_elements` will return an empty list.
+
+Search Strategies
+-----------------
+
+Search strategies are defined in the :class:`By` class::
+
+ from marionette_driver import By
+ print(By.ID)
+
+The strategies are:
+
+* `id` - The easiest way to find an element is to refer to its id directly::
+
+ container = client.find_element(By.ID, 'container')
+
+* `class name` - To find elements belonging to a certain class, use `class name`::
+
+ buttons = client.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'button')
+
+* `css selector` - It's also possible to find elements using a `css selector`_::
+
+ container_buttons = client.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#container .buttons')
+
+* `name` - Find elements by their name attribute (not implemented in chrome
+ scope)::
+
+ form = client.find_element(By.NAME, 'signup')
+
+* `tag name` - To find all the elements with a given tag, use `tag name`::
+
+ paragraphs = client.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'p')
+
+* `link text` - A convenience strategy for finding link elements by their
+ innerHTML (not implemented in chrome scope)::
+
+ link = client.find_element(By.LINK_TEXT, 'Click me!')
+
+* `partial link text` - Same as `link text` except substrings of the innerHTML
+ are matched (not implemented in chrome scope)::
+
+ link = client.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, 'Clic')
+
+* `xpath` - Find elements using an xpath_ query::
+
+ elem = client.find_element(By.XPATH, './/*[@id="foobar"')
+
+.. _css selector: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_Started/Selectors
+.. _xpath: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XPath
+
+
+
+Chaining Searches
+-----------------
+
+In addition to the methods on the Marionette object, WebElement objects also
+provide :func:`~WebElement.find_element` and :func:`~WebElement.find_elements`
+methods. The difference is that only child nodes of the element will be searched.
+Consider the following html snippet::
+
+ <div id="content">
+ <span id="main"></span>
+ </div>
+ <div id="footer"></div>
+
+Doing the following will work::
+
+ client.find_element(By.ID, 'container').find_element(By.ID, 'main')
+
+But this will raise a `NoSuchElementException`::
+
+ client.find_element(By.ID, 'container').find_element(By.ID, 'footer')

+Dealing with Stale Elements
+===========================
+.. py:currentmodule:: marionette_driver.marionette
+
+Marionette does not keep a live representation of the DOM saved. All it can do
+is send commands to the Marionette server which queries the DOM on the client's
+behalf. References to elements are also not passed from server to client. A
+unique id is generated for each element that gets referenced and a mapping of
+id to element object is stored on the server. When commands such as
+:func:`~WebElement.click` are run, the client sends the element's id along
+with the command. The server looks up the proper DOM element in its reference
+table and executes the command on it.
+
+In practice this means that the DOM can change state and Marionette will never
+know until it sends another query. For example, look at the following HTML::
+
+ <head>
+ <script type=text/javascript>
+ function addDiv() {
+ var div = document.createElement("div");
+ document.getElementById("container").appendChild(div);
+ }
+ </script>
+ </head>
+
+ <body>
+ <div id="container">
+ </div>
+ <input id="button" type=button onclick="addDiv();">
+ </body>
+
+Care needs to be taken as the DOM is being modified after the page has loaded.
+The following code has a race condition::
+
+ button = client.find_element('id', 'button')
+ button.click()
+ assert len(client.find_elements('css selector', '#container div')) > 0
+
+
+Explicit Waiting and Expected Conditions
+----------------------------------------
+.. py:currentmodule:: marionette_driver
+
+To avoid the above scenario, manual synchronisation is needed. Waits are used
+to pause program execution until a given condition is true. This is a useful
+technique to employ when documents load new content or change after
+``Document.readyState``'s value changes to "complete".
+
+The :class:`Wait` helper class provided by Marionette avoids some of the
+caveats of ``time.sleep(n)``. It will return immediately once the provided
+condition evaluates to true.
+
+To avoid the race condition in the above example, one could do::
+
+ from marionette_driver import Wait
+
+ button = client.find_element('id', 'button')
+ button.click()
+
+ def find_divs():
+ return client.find_elements('css selector', '#container div')
+
+ divs = Wait(client).until(find_divs)
+ assert len(divs) > 0
+
+This avoids the race condition. Because finding elements is a common condition
+to wait for, it is built in to Marionette. Instead of the above, you could
+write::
+
+ from marionette_driver import Wait
+
+ button = client.find_element('id', 'button')
+ button.click()
+ assert len(Wait(client).until(expected.elements_present('css selector', '#container div'))) > 0
+
+For a full list of built-in conditions, see :mod:`~marionette_driver.expected`.

+
+Marionette Python Client
+========================
+
+The Marionette Python client library allows you to remotely control a
+Gecko-based browser or device which is running a Marionette_
+server. This includes Firefox Desktop and Firefox for Android.
+
+The Marionette server is built directly into Gecko and can be started by
+passing in a command line option to Gecko, or by using a Marionette-enabled
+build. The server listens for connections from various clients. Clients can
+then control Gecko by sending commands to the server.
+
+This is the official Python client for Marionette. There also exists a
+`NodeJS client`_ maintained by the Firefox OS automation team.
+
+.. _Marionette: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Marionette
+.. _NodeJS client: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/tree/master/tests/jsmarionette
+
+Getting the Client
+------------------
+
+The Python client is officially supported. To install it, first make sure you
+have `pip installed`_ then run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ pip install marionette_driver
+
+It's highly recommended to use virtualenv_ when installing Marionette to avoid
+package conflicts and other general nastiness.
+
+You should now be ready to start using Marionette. The best way to learn is to
+play around with it. Start a `Marionette-enabled instance of Firefox`_, fire up
+a python shell and follow along with the
+:doc:`interactive tutorial <interactive>`!
+
+.. _pip installed: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
+.. _virtualenv: http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
+.. _Marionette-enabled instance of Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/Builds
+
+Using the Client for Testing
+----------------------------
+
+Please visit the `Marionette Tests`_ section on MDN for information regarding
+testing with Marionette.
+
+.. _Marionette Tests: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Marionette/Tests
+
+Session Management
+------------------
+A session is a single instance of a Marionette client connected to a Marionette
+server. Before you can start executing commands, you need to start a session
+with :func:`start_session() <Marionette.start_session>`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from marionette_driver.marionette import Marionette
+
+ client = Marionette('127.0.0.1', port=2828)
+ client.start_session()
+
+This returns a session id and an object listing the capabilities of the
+Marionette server. For example, a server running on Firefox Desktop will
+have some features which a server running from Firefox Android won't.
+It's also possible to access the capabilities using the
+:attr:`~Marionette.session_capabilities` attribute. After finishing with a
+session, you can delete it with :func:`~Marionette.delete_session()`. Note that
+this will also happen automatically when the Marionette object is garbage
+collected.
+
+Context Management
+------------------
+Commands can only be executed in a single window, frame and scope at a time. In
+order to run commands elsewhere, it's necessary to explicitly switch to the
+appropriate context.
+
+Use :func:`~Marionette.switch_to_window` to execute commands in the context of a
+new window:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ original_window = client.current_window_handle
+ for handle in client.window_handles:
+ if handle != original_window:
+ client.switch_to_window(handle)
+ print("Switched to window with '{}' loaded.".format(client.get_url()))
+ client.switch_to_window(original_window)
+
+Similarly, use :func:`~Marionette.switch_to_frame` to execute commands in the
+context of a new frame (e.g an <iframe> element):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ iframe = client.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'iframe')
+ client.switch_to_frame(iframe)
+
+Finally Marionette can switch between `chrome` and `content` scope. Chrome is a
+privileged scope where you can access things like the Firefox UI itself.
+Content scope is where things like webpages live. You can switch between
+`chrome` and `content` using the :func:`~Marionette.set_context` and :func:`~Marionette.using_context` functions:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ client.set_context(client.CONTEXT_CONTENT)
+ # content scope
+ with client.using_context(client.CONTEXT_CHROME):
+ #chrome scope
+ pass # ... do stuff ...
+ # content scope restored
+
+
+Navigation
+----------
+
+Use :func:`~Marionette.navigate` to open a new website. It's also possible to
+move through the back/forward cache using :func:`~Marionette.go_forward` and
+:func:`~Marionette.go_back` respectively. To retrieve the currently
+open website, use :func:`~Marionette.get_url`:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ url = 'http://mozilla.org'
+ client.navigate(url)
+ client.go_back()
+ client.go_forward()
+ assert client.get_url() == url
+
+
+DOM Elements
+------------
+
+In order to inspect or manipulate actual DOM elements, they must first be found
+using the :func:`~Marionette.find_element` or :func:`~Marionette.find_elements`
+methods:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from marionette_driver.marionette import WebElement
+ element = client.find_element(By.ID, 'my-id')
+ assert type(element) == WebElement
+ elements = client.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'a')
+ assert type(elements) == list
+
+For a full list of valid search strategies, see :doc:`advanced/findelement`.
+
+Now that an element has been found, it's possible to manipulate it:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ element.click()
+ element.send_keys('hello!')
+ print(element.get_attribute('style'))
+
+For the full list of possible commands, see the :class:`WebElement`
+reference.
+
+Be warned that a reference to an element object can become stale if it was
+modified or removed from the document. See :doc:`advanced/stale` for tips
+on working around this limitation.
+
+Script Execution
+----------------
+
+Sometimes Marionette's provided APIs just aren't enough and it is necessary to
+run arbitrary javascript. This is accomplished with the
+:func:`~Marionette.execute_script` and :func:`~Marionette.execute_async_script`
+functions. They accomplish what their names suggest, the former executes some
+synchronous JavaScript, while the latter provides a callback mechanism for
+running asynchronous JavaScript:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ result = client.execute_script("return arguments[0] + arguments[1];",
+ script_args=[2, 3])
+ assert result == 5
+
+The async method works the same way, except it won't return until the
+`resolve()` function is called:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ result = client.execute_async_script("""
+ let [resolve] = arguments;
+ setTimeout(function() {

+Using the Client Interactively
+==============================
+
+Once you installed the client and have Marionette running, you can fire
+up your favourite interactive python environment and start playing with
+Marionette. Let's use a typical python shell:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ python
+
+First, import Marionette:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ from marionette_driver.marionette import Marionette
+
+Now create the client for this session. Assuming you're using the default
+port on a Marionette instance running locally:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ client = Marionette(host='127.0.0.1', port=2828)
+ client.start_session()
+
+This will return some id representing your session id. Now that you've
+established a connection, let's start doing interesting things:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ client.navigate("http://www.mozilla.org")
+
+Now you're at mozilla.org! You can even verify it using the following:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ client.get_url()
+
+You can execute Javascript code in the scope of the web page:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ client.execute_script("return window.document.title;")
+
+This will you return the title of the web page as set in the head section
+of the HTML document.
+
+Also you can find elements and click on those. Let's say you want to get
+the first link:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ from marionette_driver import By
+ first_link = client.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "a")
+
+first_link now holds a reference to the first link on the page. You can click it:
+
+.. parsed-literal::
+ first_link.click()
