Enum Platform

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<Platform>

org.openqa.selenium.Platform

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Platform>

public enum Platform
extends Enum<Platform>

Represents the known and supported Platforms that WebDriver runs on. This is pretty close to the Operating System, but differs slightly, because this class is used to extract information such as program locations and line endings.

Enum Constant Detail

WINDOWS

public static final Platform WINDOWS

Never returned, but can be used to request a browser running on any version of Windows.

XP

public static final Platform XP

For versions of Windows that "feel like" Windows XP. These are ones that store files in "\Program Files\" and documents under "\\documents and settings\\username"

VISTA

public static final Platform VISTA

For versions of Windows that "feel like" Windows Vista.

WIN8

public static final Platform WIN8

For versions of Windows that "feel like" Windows 8.

MAC

public static final Platform MAC

UNIX

public static final Platform UNIX

Many platforms have UNIX traits, amongst them LINUX, Solaris and BSD.

LINUX

public static final Platform LINUX

ANDROID

public static final Platform ANDROID

ANY

public static final Platform ANY

Never returned, but can be used to request a browser running on any operating system.

Method Detail

values

public static Platform[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Platform c : Platform.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Platform valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getPartOfOsName

public String[] getPartOfOsName()

getCurrent

public static Platform getCurrent()

Get current platform (not necessarily the same as operating system).

Returns:

current platform

extractFromSysProperty

public static Platform extractFromSysProperty(String osName)

Extracts platforms based on system properties in Java and uses a heuristic to determine the most likely operating system. If unable to determine the operating system, it will default to UNIX.

Parameters:

osName - the operating system name to determine the platform of

Returns:

the most likely platform based on given operating system name

extractFromSysProperty

public static Platform extractFromSysProperty(String osName,
                              String osVersion)

Extracts platforms based on system properties in Java and uses a heuristic to determine the most likely operating system. If unable to determine the operating system, it will default to UNIX.

Parameters:

osName - the operating system name to determine the platform of

osVersion - the operating system version to determine the platform of

Returns:

the most likely platform based on given operating system name and version

is

public boolean is(Platform compareWith)

Heuristic for comparing two platforms. If platforms (which is not the same thing as operating systems) are found to be approximately similar in nature, this will return true. For instance the LINUX platform is similar to UNIX, and will give a positive result if compared.

Parameters:

compareWith - the platform to compare with

Returns:

true if platforms are approximately similar, false otherwise

getMajorVersion

public int getMajorVersion()

Returns the major version of this platform.

Returns:

the major version of specified platform

getMinorVersion

public int getMinorVersion()

Returns the minor version of this platform.

Returns:

the minor version of specified platform
