I would like to use the execute_async_script command (in the Selenium remote webdriver) to execute some JS with a callback.
I have something similar to this in my current setup for the selenium.selenium model:
self.selenium = selenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://localhost:8000")
But how do I use the WebDriver implementation alongside selenium.selenium so I can call execute_async_script?
It sounds like you are using the remote control setup right now, yes? You should be able to instantiate a WebDriver instance from within that code, but you need to reference the WebDriver dlls. You will need to instantiate an instance of a browser driver object (ie: FirefoxDriver, InternetExplorerDriver, ChromeDriver, etc..) and then set your IWebDriver "driver" property equal to that instance. Then create an interface object named "js" (or whatever you'd like) as an IJavaScriptExecutor object and call the non-static method "ExecuteScript" or "ExecuteAsyncScript" (in your case).
My code below is in C#.NET (assuming you're using NUnit). You'll have to find the Python implementation since I don't know that language.
Class data members:
private IWebDriver driver;
private StringBuilder verificationErrors;
private string baseURL;
Code:
driver = new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxProfile());
baseURL = "http://???"; // replace "???" with website domain
ISelenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, baseURL);
selenium.Start();
IJavaScriptExecutor js = driver as IJavaScriptExecutor;
js.ExecuteScript("$('#id').click();"); // assumes JQuery is used in page
js.ExecuteAsyncScript(...);
For Python, you can have a look at answer
