Does what the other selenium plugins claim to do. I tried them and they were very difficult (and for me, impossible) to set up, so we just made our own recipe which works.

This plugin automatically starts and stops the servers needed to run selenium. It also allows you to just use open "/" instead of having to constantly use @selenium.open "/".

All you need to do is require the SeleniumTestHelper module in your selenium test and you are on your way.

Sample use:

require File.dirname(FILE) + ’/../test_helper’

class FakeModelTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  include SeleniumTestHelper
  sleep 2

  def test_it
    open "/"
    assert is_text_present("Welcome aboard")
  end

end

Just untar the downloaded archive into your vendor/plugins directory. More info is provided in the README.
