Initially those have been added to ensure a better +reliability due to a wider usage inside the Selenium project. But +by adding full support for the [WebDriver specification] they will +be removed step by step. + +Currently the following atoms are in use: + +- `getElementText` +- `isElementDisplayed` +- `isElementEnabled` + +To use one of those atoms Javascript modules will have to import +[atom.sys.mjs]. + +[Selenium atoms]: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/tree/master/javascript/webdriver/atoms +[WebDriver specification]: https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html +[atom.sys.mjs]: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/remote/marionette/atom.sys.mjs + +## Update required Selenium atoms + +In regular intervals the atoms, which are still in use, have to +be updated. Therefore they have to be exported from the Selenium +repository first, and then updated in [atom.sys.mjs]. + +### Export Selenium Atoms + +The canonical GitHub repository for Selenium is + + <https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium.git> + +so make sure to have an up-to-date local copy of it. If you have to clone +it first, it is recommended to specify the `--depth=1` argument, so only the +last changeset is getting downloaded (which itself might already be +more than 100 MB). + +```bash +git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium.git +``` + +To export the correct version of the atoms identify the changeset id (SHA1) of +the Selenium repository in the [index section] of the WebDriver specification. + +Fetch that changeset and check it out: + +```bash +git fetch --depth=1 origin SHA1 +git checkout SHA1 +``` + +Now you can export all the required atoms by running the following +commands. Make sure to [install bazelisk] first. + +```bash +bazel build //javascript/atoms/fragments:get-text +bazel build //javascript/atoms/fragments:is-displayed +bazel build //javascript/atoms/fragments:is-enabled +``` + +For each of the exported atoms a file can now be found in the folder +`bazel-bin/javascript/atoms/fragments/`. They contain all the +code including dependencies for the atom wrapped into a single function. + +[index section]: <https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#index> +[install bazelisk]: <https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk#installation> + +### Update atom.sys.mjs + +To update the atoms for Marionette the `atoms.js` file has to be edited. For +each atom to be updated the steps as laid out below have to be performed: + +1. Open the Javascript file of the exported atom. See above for + its location. + +2. Remove the contained license header, which can be found somewhere + in the middle of the file. + +3. Update the parameters of the wrapper function (at the very top) + so that those are equal with the used parameters in `atom.sys.mjs`. + +4. Copy the whole content of the file, and replace the existing + code for the atom in `atom.sys.mjs`. + +### Test the changes + +To ensure that the update of the atoms doesn't cause a regression +a try build should be run including Marionette unit tests, Firefox +ui tests, and all the web-platform-tests. |
