Serenity Page Objects
If you are working with WebDriver web tests, you will be familiar with the concept of Page Objects. Page Objects are a way of isolating the implementation details of a web page inside a class, exposing only business-focused methods related to that page. They are an excellent way of making your web tests more maintainable.
In Serenity, page objects are just ordinary classes that extend the PageObject
class. Serenity automatically injects a WebDriver instance into the page object that you can access via the getDriver()
method, although you rarely need to use the WebDriver directly. The Serenity PageObject
class provides a number of convenient methods that make accessing and manipulating web elements much easier than with conventional WebDriver test scripts.
Here is a simple example:
...
import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.WebElementFacade;
import net.thucydides.core.pages.PageObject;
...
@DefaultUrl("http://localhost:9000/somepage")
public class FindAJobPage extends PageObject {
WebElementFacade keywords;
WebElementFacade searchButton;
public void look_for_jobs_with_keywords(String values) {
typeInto(keywords, values);
searchButton.click();
}
public List<String> getJobTabs() {
List<WebElementFacade> tabs = findAll("//div[@id='tabs']//a");
return extract(tabs, on(WebElement.class).getText());
}
}
The typeInto
method is a shorthand that simply clears a field and enters the specified text.
If you prefer a more fluent-API style, you can also do something like this:
@DefaultUrl("http://localhost:9000/somepage")
public class FindAJobPage extends PageObject {
WebElementFacade keywordsField;
WebElementFacade searchButton;
public FindAJobPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}
public void look_for_jobs_with_keywords(String values) {
enter(values).into(keywordsField);
searchButton.click();
}
public List<String> getJobTabs() {
List<WebElementFacade> tabs = findAll("//div[@id='tabs']//a");
return extract(tabs, on(WebElement.class).getText());
}
}
You can use an even more fluent style of expressing the implementation steps by using methods like find
, findBy
and then
.
For example, you can use webdriver "By" finders with element name, id, css selector or xpath selector as follows:
find(By.name("demo")).then(By.name("specialField")).getValue();
find(By.cssSelector(".foo")).getValue();
find(By.xpath("//th")).getValue();
The findBy method lets you pass the css or xpath selector directly to WebDriver. For example,
findBy("#demo").then("#specialField").getValue(); //css selectors
findBy("//div[@id='dataTable']").getValue(); //xpath selector
Using pages in a step library
When you need to use a page object in one of your steps, you just need to declare a variable of type PageObject in your step library, e.g.
FindAJobPage page;
If you want to make sure you are on the right page, you can use the currentPageAt() method. This will check the page class for any @At annotations present in the PageObject class and, if present, check that the current URL corresponds to the URL pattern specified in the annotation. For example, when you invoke it using currentPageAt(), the following Page Object will check that the current URL is precisely http://www.apache.org.
@At("http://www.apache.org")
public class ApacheHomePage extends PageObject {
...
}
The @At annotation also supports wildcards and regular expressions. The following page object will match any Apache sub-domain:
@At("http://.*.apache.org")
public class AnyApachePage extends PageObject {
...
}
More generally, however, you are more interested in what comes after the host name. You can use the special #HOST token to match any server name. So the following Page Object will match both http://localhost:8080/app/action/login.form an http://staging.acme.com/app/action/login.form. It will also ignore parameters, so http://staging.acme.com/app/action/login.form?username=toto&password=oz will work fine too.
@At(urls={"#HOST/app/action/login.form"})
public class LoginPage extends PageObject {
...
}
Opening the page
A page object is usually designed to work with a particular web page. When the open()
method is invoked, the browser will be opened to the default URL for the page.
The @DefaultUrl
annotation indicates the URL that this test should use when run in isolation (e.g. from within your IDE).
Generally, however, the host part of the default URL will be overridden by the webdriver.base.url
property, as this allows you to set the base URL across the board for all of your tests,
and so makes it easier to run your tests on different environments by simply changing this property value.
For example, in the test class above, setting the webdriver.base.url
to 'https://staging.mycompany.com' would result in the page being opened at the URL of 'https://staging.mycompany.com/somepage'.
You can also define named URLs that can be used to open the web page, optionally with parameters. For example, in the following code, we define a URL called 'open.issue', that accepts a single parameter:
@DefaultUrl("http://jira.mycompany.org")
@NamedUrls(
{
@NamedUrl(name = "open.issue", url = "http://jira.mycompany.org/issues/{1}")
}
)
public class JiraIssuePage extends PageObject {
...
}
You could then open this page to the http://jira.mycompany.org/issues/ISSUE-1 URL as shown here:
page.open("open.issue", withParameters("ISSUE-1"));
You could also dispense entirely with the base URL in the named URL definition, and rely on the default values:
@DefaultUrl("http://jira.mycompany.org")
@NamedUrls(
{
@NamedUrl(name = "open.issue", url = "/issues/{1}")
}
)
public class JiraIssuePage extends PageObject {
...
}
And naturally you can define more than one definition:
@NamedUrls(
{
@NamedUrl(name = "open.issue", url = "/issues/{1}"),
@NamedUrl(name = "close.issue", url = "/issues/close/{1}")
}
)
You should never try to implement the open()
method yourself. In fact, it is final. If you need your page to do something upon loading, such as waiting for a dynamic element to appear, you can use the @WhenPageOpens annotation.
Methods in the PageObject with this annotation will be invoked (in an unspecified order) after the URL has been opened. In this example, the open()
method will not return until
the dataSection
web element is visible:
@DefaultUrl("http://localhost:8080/client/list")
public class ClientList extends PageObject {
@FindBy(id="data-section");
WebElementFacade dataSection;
...
@WhenPageOpens
public void waitUntilTitleAppears() {
element(dataSection).waitUntilVisible();
}
}
Working with web elements
Checking whether elements are visible
The WebElementFacade
class contains convenient fluent API for dealing with web elements, providing some commonly-used extra features that are not provided out-of-the-box by the WebDriver API.
WebElementFacades
are largely interchangeable with WebElements: you just declare a variable of type WebElementFacade
instead of type WebElement
. For example, you can check that an element is visible as shown here:
public class FindAJobPage extends PageObject {
WebElementFacade searchButton;
public boolean searchButtonIsVisible() {
return searchButton.isVisible();
}
...
}
If the button is not present on the screen, the test will wait for a short period in case it appears due to some Ajax magic. If you don’t want the test to do this, you can use the faster version:
public boolean searchButtonIsVisibleNow() {
return searchButton.isCurrentlyVisible();
}
You can turn this into an assert by using the shouldBeVisible()
method instead:
public void checkThatSearchButtonIsVisible() {
searchButton.shouldBeVisible();
}
This method will throw an assertion error if the search button is not visible to the end user.
Checking whether elements are enabled
You can also check whether an element is enabled or not:
searchButton.isEnabled() searchButton.shouldBeEnabled()
There are also equivalent negative methods:
searchButton.shouldNotBeVisible(); searchButton.shouldNotBeCurrentlyVisible(); searchButton.shouldNotBeEnabled()
You can also check for elements that are present on the page but not visible, e.g:
searchButton.isPresent(); searchButton.isNotPresent(); searchButton.shouldBePresent(); searchButton.shouldNotBePresent();
Manipulating select lists
There are also helper methods available for drop-down lists. Suppose you have the following dropdown on your page:
<select id="color">
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
</select>
You could write a page object to manipulate this dropdown as shown here:
public class FindAJobPage extends PageObject {
@FindBy(id="color")
WebElementFacade colorDropdown;
public selectDropdownValues() {
colorDropdown.selectByVisibleText("Blue");
assertThat(colorDropdown.getSelectedVisibleTextValue(), is("Blue"));
colorDropdown.selectByValue("blue");
assertThat(colorDropdown.getSelectedValue(), is("blue"));
colorDropdown.selectByIndex(2);
assertThat(colorDropdown.getSelectedValue(), is("green"));
}
...
}
Determining focus
You can determine whether a given field has the focus as follows:
firstName.hasFocus()
You can also wait for elements to appear, disappear, or become enabled or disabled:
button.waitUntilEnabled() button.waitUntilDisabled()
or
field.waitUntilVisible() button.waitUntilNotVisible()
Using direct XPath and CSS selectors
Another way to access a web element is to use an XPath or CSS expression. You can use the $() method with an XPath expression to do this more simply. For example, imagine your web application needs to click on a list item containing a given post code. One way would be as shown here:
WebElement selectedSuburb = getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//li/a[contains(.,'" + postcode + "')]"));
selectedSuburb.click();
However, a simpler option would be to do this:
$("//li/a[contains(.,'" + postcode + "')]").click();
Working with Asynchronous Pages
Asynchronous pages are those whose fields or data is not all displayed when the page is loaded. Sometimes, you need to wait for certain elements to appear, or to disappear, before being able to proceed with your tests. Serenity provides some handy methods in the PageObject base class to help with these scenarios. They are primarily designed to be used as part of your business methods in your page objects, though in the examples we will show them used as external calls on a PageObject instance for clarity.
Checking whether an element is visible
In WebDriver terms, there is a distinction between when an element is present on the screen (i.e. in the HTML source code), and when it is rendered (i.e. visible to the user). You may also need to check whether an element is visible on the screen. You can do this in two ways. Your first option is to use the isElementVisible method, which returns a boolean value based on whether the element is rendered (visible to the user) or not:
isElementVisible(By.xpath("//h2[.='A visible title']"))
Your second option is to actively assert that the element should be visible:
shouldBeVisible(By.xpath("//h2[.='An invisible title']"));
If the element does not appear immediately, you can wait for it to appear:
waitForRenderedElements(By.xpath("//h2[.='A title that is not immediately visible']"));
An alternative to the above syntax is to use the more fluid waitFor method which takes a css or xpath selector as argument:
waitFor("#popup"); //css selector
waitFor("//h2[.='A title that is not immediately visible']"); //xpath selector
If you just want to check if the element is present though not necessarily visible, you can use waitForRenderedElementsToBePresent :
waitForRenderedElementsToBePresent(By.xpath("//h2[.='A title that is not immediately visible']"));
or its more expressive flavour, waitForPresenceOf which takes a css or xpath selector as argument.
waitForPresenceOf("#popup"); //css
waitForPresenceOf("//h2[.='A title that is not immediately visible']"); //xpath
You can also wait for an element to disappear by using waitForRenderedElementsToDisappear or waitForAbsenceOf :
waitForRenderedElementsToDisappear(By.xpath("//h2[.='A title that will soon disappear']"));
waitForAbsenceOf("#popup");
waitForAbsenceOf("//h2[.='A title that will soon disappear']");
For simplicity, you can also use the waitForTextToAppear and waitForTextToDisappear methods:
waitForTextToDisappear("A visible bit of text");
If several possible texts may appear, you can use waitForAnyTextToAppear or waitForAllTextToAppear:
waitForAnyTextToAppear("this might appear","or this", "or even this");
If you need to wait for one of several possible elements to appear, you can also use the waitForAnyRenderedElementOf method:
waitForAnyRenderedElementOf(By.id("color"), By.id("taste"), By.id("sound"));
Working with timeouts
Modern AJAX-based web applications add a great deal of complexity to web testing. The basic problem is, when you access a web element on a page, it may not be available yet. So you need to wait a bit. Indeed, many tests contain hard-coded pauses scattered through the code to cater for this sort of thing.
But hard-coded waits are evil. They slow down your test suite, and cause them to fail randomly if they are not long enough. Rather, you need to wait for a particular state or event. Selenium provides great support for this, and Serenity builds on this support to make it easier to use.
Implicit Waits
The first way you can manage how WebDriver handles tardy fields is to use the webdriver.timeouts.implicitlywait
property. This determines how long, in milliseconds, WebDriver will wait if an element it tries to access is not present on the page. To quote the WebDriver documentation:
“An implicit wait is to tell WebDriver to poll the DOM for a certain amount of time when trying to find an element or elements if they are not immediately available.”
The default value in Serenity for this property is currently 2 seconds. This is different from standard WebDriver, where the default is zero.
Let’s look at an example. Suppose we have a PageObject with a field defined like this:
@FindBy(id="slow-loader")
public WebElementFacade slowLoadingField;
This field takes a little while to load, so won’t be ready immediately on the page.
Now suppose we set the webdriver.timeouts.implicitlywait
value to 5000, and that our test uses the slowLoadingField:
boolean loadingFinished = slowLoadingField.isDisplayed()
When we access this field, two things can happen. If the field takes less than 5 seconds to load, all will be good. But if it takes more than 5 seconds, a NoSuchElementException (or something similar) will be thrown.
That this timeout also applies for lists. Suppose we have defined a field like this, which takes some time to dynamically load:
@FindBy(css="#elements option")
public List<WebElementFacade> elementItems;
Now suppose we count the values of the element like this:
int itemCount = elementItems.size()
The number of items returned will depend on the implicit wait value. If we set the webdriver.timeouts.implicitlywait
value to a very small value, WebDriver may only load some of the values. But if we give the list enough time to load completely, we will get the full list.
The implicit wait value is set globally for each WebDriver instance, but you can override the value yourself. The simplest way to do this from within a Serenity PageObject is to use the setImplicitTimeout() method:
setImplicitTimeout(5, SECONDS)
But remember this is a global configuration, so will also affect other page objects. So once you are done, you should always reset the implicit timeout to its previous value. Serenity gives you a handy method to do this:
resetImplicitTimeout()
See Selenium Documentation for more details on how the WebDriver implicit waits work.
Explicit Timeouts
You can also wait until an element is in a particular state. For example, we could wait until a field becomes visible:
slowLoadingField.waitUntilVisible()
You can also wait for more arbitrary conditions, e.g.
waitFor(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent())
The default time that Serenity will wait is determined by the webdriver.wait.for.timeout
property. The default value for this property is 5 seconds.
Sometimes you want to give WebDriver some more time for a specific operation. From within a PageObject, you can override or extend the explicit timeout by using the withTimeoutOf() method. For example, you could wait for the #elements list to load for up to 5 seconds like this:
withTimeoutOf(5, SECONDS).waitForPresenceOf(By.cssSelector("#elements option"))
You can also specify the timeout for a field. For example, if you wanted to wait for up to 5 seconds for a button to become clickable before clicking on it, you could do the following:
someButton.withTimeoutOf(5, SECONDS).waitUntilClickable().click()
You can also use this approach to retrieve elements:
elements = withTimeoutOf(5, SECONDS).findAll("#elements option")
Finally, if a specific element a PageObject needs to have a bit more time to load, you can use the timeoutInSeconds attribute in the Serenity @FindBy annotation, e.g.
import net.serenitybdd.core.annotations.findby.FindBy;
...
@FindBy(name = "country", timeoutInSeconds="10")
public WebElementFacade country;
You can also wait for an element to be in a particular state, and then perform an action on the element. Here we wait for an element to be clickable before clicking on the element:
addToCartButton.withTimeoutOf(5, SECONDS).waitUntilClickable().click()
Or, you can wait directly on a web element:
@FindBy(id="share1-fb-like")
WebElementFacade facebookIcon;
...
public WebElementState facebookIcon() {
return withTimeoutOf(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS).waitFor(facebookIcon);
}
Or even:
List<WebElementFacade> currencies = withTimeoutOf(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.waitFor(currencyTab)
.thenFindAll(".currency-code");
Executing Javascript
There are times when you may find it useful to execute a little Javascript directly within the browser to get the job done. You can use the evaluateJavascript() method of the PageObject class to do this. For example, you might need to evaluate an expression and use the result in your tests. The following command will evaluate the document title and return it to the calling Java code:
String result = (String) evaluateJavascript("return document.title");
Alternatively, you may just want to execute a Javascript command locally in the browser. In the following code, for example, we set the focus to the 'firstname' input field:
evaluateJavascript("document.getElementById('firstname').focus()");
And, if you are familiar with JQuery, you can also invoke JQuery expressions:
evaluateJavascript("$('#firstname').focus()");
This is often a useful strategy if you need to trigger events such as mouse-overs that are not currently supported by the WebDriver API.
Uploading files
Uploading files is easy. Files to be uploaded can be either placed in a hard-coded location (bad) or stored on the classpath (better). Here is a simple example:
public class NewCompanyPage extends PageObject {
...
@FindBy(id="object_logo")
WebElementFacade logoField;
public NewCompanyPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}
public void loadLogoFrom(String filename) {
upload(filename).to(logoField);
}
}
Using Fluent Matcher expressions
When writing acceptance tests, you often find yourself expressing expectations about individual domain objects or collections of domain objects. For example, if you are testing a multi-criteria search feature, you will want to know that the application finds the records you expected. You might be able to do this in a very precise manner (for example, knowing exactly what field values you expect), or you might want to make your tests more flexible by expressing the ranges of values that would be acceptable. Serenity provides a few features that make it easier to write acceptance tests for this sort of case.
In the rest of this section, we will study some examples based on tests for the Maven Central search site (see The results page for the Maven Central search page). This site lets you search the Maven repository for Maven artifacts, and view the details of a particular artifact.
We will use some imaginary regression tests for this site to illustrate how the Serenity matchers can be used to write more expressive tests. The first scenario we will consider is simply searching for an artifact by name, and making sure that only artifacts matching this name appear in the results list. We might express this acceptance criteria informally in the following way:
-
Give that the developer is on the search page,
-
And the developer searches for artifacts called 'Serenity'
-
Then the developer should see at least 16 Serenity artifacts, each with a unique artifact Id
In JUnit, a Serenity test for this scenario might look like the one:
...
import static net.thucydides.core.matchers.BeanMatchers.the_count;
import static net.thucydides.core.matchers.BeanMatchers.each;
import static net.thucydides.core.matchers.BeanMatchers.the;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.greaterThanOrEqualTo;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.is;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.startsWith;
@RunWith(SerenityRunner.class)
public class WhenSearchingForArtifacts {
@Managed
WebDriver driver;
@Steps
public DeveloperSteps developer;
@Test
public void should_find_the_right_number_of_artifacts() {
developer.opens_the_search_page();
developer.searches_for("Serenity");
developer.should_see_artifacts_where(the("GroupId", startsWith("net.thucydides")),
each("ArtifactId").isDifferent(),
the_count(is(greaterThanOrEqualTo(16))));
}
}
Let’s see how the test in this class is implemented. The should_find_the_right_number_of_artifacts() test could be expressed as follows:
-
When we open the search page
-
And we search for artifacts containing the word 'Serenity'
-
Then we should see a list of artifacts where each Group ID starts with "net.Serenity", each Artifact ID is unique, and that there are at least 16 such entries displayed.
The implementation of these steps is illustrated here:
...
import static net.thucydides.core.matchers.BeanMatcherAsserts.shouldMatch;
public class DeveloperSteps {
@Step
public void opens_the_search_page() {
onSearchPage().open();
}
@Step
public void searches_for(String search_terms) {
onSearchPage().enter_search_terms(search_terms);
onSearchPage().starts_search();
}
@Step
public void should_see_artifacts_where(BeanMatcher... matchers) {
shouldMatch(onSearchResultsPage().getSearchResults(), matchers);
}
private SearchPage onSearchPage() {
return getPages().get(SearchPage.class);
}
private SearchResultsPage onSearchResultsPage() {
return getPages().get(SearchResultsPage.class);
}
}
The first two steps are implemented by relatively simple methods. However the third step is more interesting. Let’s look at it more closely:
@Step
public void should_see_artifacts_where(BeanMatcher... matchers) {
shouldMatch(onSearchResultsPage().getSearchResults(), matchers);
}
Here, we are passing an arbitrary number of expressions into the method. These expressions actually 'matchers', instances of the BeanMatcher class. Not that you usually have to worry about that level of detail - you create these matcher expressions using a set of static methods provided in the BeanMatchers class. So you typically would pass fairly readable expressions like the("GroupId", startsWith("net.Serenity")) or each("ArtifactId").isDifferent().
The shouldMatch() method from the BeanMatcherAsserts class takes either a single Java object, or a collection of Java objects, and checks that at least some of the objects match the constraints specified by the matchers. In the context of web testing, these objects are typically POJOs provided by the Page Object to represent the domain object or objects displayed on a screen.
There are a number of different matcher expressions to choose from. The most commonly used matcher just checks the value of a field in an object. For example, suppose you are using the domain object shown here:
public class Person {
private final String firstName;
private final String lastName;
Person(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {...}
public String getLastName() {...}
}
You could write a test to ensure that a list of Persons contained at least one person named "Bill" by using the "the" static method, as shown here:
List<Person> persons = Arrays.asList(new Person("Bill", "Oddie"), new Person("Tim", "Brooke-Taylor"));
shouldMatch(persons, the("firstName", is("Bill"))
The second parameter in the the() method is a Hamcrest matcher, which gives you a great deal of flexibility with your expressions. For example, you could also write the following:
List<Person> persons = Arrays.asList(new Person("Bill", "Oddie"), new Person("Tim", "Brooke-Taylor"));
shouldMatch(persons, the("firstName", is(not("Tim"))));
shouldMatch(persons, the("firstName", startsWith("B")));
You can also pass in multiple conditions:
List<Person> persons = Arrays.asList(new Person("Bill", "Oddie"), new Person("Tim", "Brooke-Taylor"));
shouldMatch(persons, the("firstName", is("Bill"), the("lastName", is("Oddie"));
Serenity also provides the DateMatchers class, which lets you apply Hamcrest matches to standard java Dates and JodaTime DateTimes. The following code samples illustrate how these might be used:
DateTime january1st2010 = new DateTime(2010,01,01,12,0).toDate();
DateTime may31st2010 = new DateTime(2010,05,31,12,0).toDate();
the("purchaseDate", isBefore(january1st2010))
the("purchaseDate", isAfter(january1st2010))
the("purchaseDate", isSameAs(january1st2010))
the("purchaseDate", isBetween(january1st2010, may31st2010))
You sometimes also need to check constraints that apply to all of the elements under consideration. The simplest of these is to check that all of the field values for a particular field are unique. You can do this using the each() method:
shouldMatch(persons, each("lastName").isDifferent())
You can also check that the number of matching elements corresponds to what you are expecting. For example, to check that there is only one person who’s first name is Bill, you could do this:
shouldMatch(persons, the("firstName", is("Bill"), the_count(is(1)));
You can also check the minimum and maximum values using the max() and min() methods. For example, if the Person class had a getAge() method, we could ensure that every person is over 21 and under 65 by doing the following:
shouldMatch(persons, min("age", greaterThanOrEqualTo(21)),
max("age", lessThanOrEqualTo(65)));
These methods work with normal Java objects, but also with Maps. So the following code will also work:
Map<String, String> person = new HashMap<String, String>();
person.put("firstName", "Bill");
person.put("lastName", "Oddie");
List<Map<String,String>> persons = Arrays.asList(person);
shouldMatch(persons, the("firstName", is("Bill"))
The other nice thing about this approach is that the matchers play nicely with the Serenity reports. So when you use the BeanMatcher class as a parameter in your test steps, the conditions expressed in the step will be displayed in the test report, as shown in Conditional expressions are displayed in the test reports.
There are two common usage patterns when building Page Objects and steps that use this sort of matcher. The first is to write a Page Object method that returns the list of domain objects (for example, Persons) displayed on the table. For example, the getSearchResults() method used in the should_see_artifacts_where() step could be implemented as follows:
public List<Artifact> getSearchResults() {
List<WebElement> rows = resultTable.findElements(By.xpath(".//tr[td]"));
List<Artifact> artifacts = new ArrayList<Artifact>();
for (WebElement row : rows) {
List<WebElement> cells = row.findElements(By.tagName("td"));
artifacts.add(new Artifact(cells.get(0).getText(),
cells.get(1).getText(),
cells.get(2).getText()));
}
return artifacts;
}
The second is to access the HTML table contents directly, without explicitly modelling the data contained in the table. This approach is faster and more effective if you don’t expect to reuse the domain object in other pages. We will see how to do this next.
Working with HTML Tables
Since HTML tables are still widely used to represent sets of data on web applications, Serenity comes the HtmlTable class, which provides a number of useful methods that make it easier to write Page Objects that contain tables. For example, the rowsFrom method returns the contents of an HTML table as a list of Maps, where each map contains the cell values for a row indexed by the corresponding heading, as shown here:
...
import static net.thucydides.core.pages.components.HtmlTable.rowsFrom;
public class SearchResultsPage extends PageObject {
WebElement resultTable;
public SearchResultsPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}
public List<Map<String, String>> getSearchResults() {
return rowsFrom(resultTable);
}
}
This saves a lot of typing - our getSearchResults() method now looks like this:
public List<Map<String, String>> getSearchResults() {
return rowsFrom(resultTable);
}
And since the Serenity matchers work with both Java objects and Maps, the matcher expressions will be very similar. The only difference is that the Maps returned are indexed by the text values contained in the table headings, rather than by java-friendly property names.
You can also read tables without headers (i.e., <th> elements) by specifying your own headings using the withColumns method. For example:
List<Map<Object, String>> tableRows =
HtmlTable.withColumns("First Name","Last Name", "Favorite Colour")
.readRowsFrom(page.table_with_no_headings);
You can also use the HtmlTable class to select particular rows within a table to work with. For example, another test scenario for the Maven Search page involves clicking on an artifact and displaying the details for that artifact. The test for this might look something like this:
@Test
public void clicking_on_artifact_should_display_details_page() {
developer.opens_the_search_page();
developer.searches_for("Serenity");
developer.open_artifact_where(the("ArtifactId", is("Serenity")),
the("GroupId", is("net.Serenity")));
developer.should_see_artifact_details_where(the("artifactId", is("Serenity")),
the("groupId", is("net.Serenity")));
}
Now the open_artifact_where() method needs to click on a particular row in the table. This step looks like this:
@Step
public void open_artifact_where(BeanMatcher... matchers) {
onSearchResultsPage().clickOnFirstRowMatching(matchers);
}
So we are effectively delegating to the Page Object, who does the real work. The corresponding Page Object method looks like this:
import static net.thucydides.core.pages.components.HtmlTable.filterRows;
...
public void clickOnFirstRowMatching(BeanMatcher... matchers) {
List<WebElement> matchingRows = filterRows(resultTable, matchers);
WebElement targetRow = matchingRows.get(0);
WebElement detailsLink = targetRow.findElement(By.xpath(".//a[contains(@href,'artifactdetails')]"));
detailsLink.click();
}
The interesting part here is the first line of the method, where we use the filterRows() method. This method will return a list of WebElements that match the matchers you have passed in. This method makes it fairly easy to select the rows you are interested in for special treatment.
Switching to another page
A method, switchToPage() is provided in PageObject class to make it convenient to return a new PageObject after navigation from within a method of a PageObject class. For example,
@DefaultUrl("http://mail.acme.com/login.html")
public class EmailLoginPage extends PageObject {
...
public void forgotPassword() {
...
forgotPassword.click();
ForgotPasswordPage forgotPasswordPage = this.switchToPage(ForgotPasswordPage.class);
forgotPasswordPage.open();
...
}
...
}
WebElement collection loading strategies
Selenium lets you use the @FindBy
and @FindAll
annotations to load collections of web elements, as illustrated here:
@FindBy(css='#colors a')
List<WebElement> options
If you are working with an asynchronous application, these lists may take time to load, so Selenium may give you an empty list because the elements have not loaded yet.
Serenity lets you find-tune this behaviour in two ways. The first is to use the wait DSL to load the elements directly, e.g.:
withTimeoutOf(5, SECONDS).waitForPresenceOf(By.cssSelector("#colors a"))
Alternatively, you can use the serenity.webdriver.collection_loading_strategy
property to define how Serenity loads collections of web elements when using the @FindBy
and @FindAll
annotations. There are three options:
* Optimistic
* Pessimistic (default)
* Paranoid
Optimistic will only wait until the field is defined. This is the native Selenium behaviour.
Pessimistic will wait until at least the first element is displayed. This is currently the default.
Paranoid will wait until all of the elements are displayed. This can be slow for long lists.

Web Animations
- Repository
- github.com/web-animations/web-animations-js
- W3C Specification
- dev.w3.org/fxtf/web-animations/
Web Animations defines APIs for synchronizing several of the web’s animation models with complex, scriptable animations.
Table of contents
Learn the tech
Why Web Animations?
Four animation-related specifications already exist on the web platform: CSS Transitions,
CSS Animations, SVG Animations / SMIL, and requestAnimationFrame()
. However:
- CSS Transitions / CSS Animations are not very expressive - animations can’t be composed, or sequenced, or even reliably run in parallel; and animations can’t be tweaked from script.
- SVG Animations are very expressive, but also very complicated. SVG Animations can’t be applied to HTML content.
requestAnimationFrame()
is not a declarative approach - it requires the use of the main thread, and will therefore jank if the main thread is busy.
Web Animations is a new specification for animated content on the web. It’s being developed as a W3C specification as part of the CSS and SVG working groups. It aims to address the deficiencies inherent in these four specifications. Web Animations also aims to replace the underlying implementations of CSS Transitions, CSS Animations and SVG Animations, so that:
- The code cost of supporting animations on the web is reduced.
- The various animations specifications are interoperable.
- Spec authors and browser vendors have a single place to experiment with new animation innovations to improve the Web for the future.
Basic usage
Here’s a simple example of an animation that scales and changes the opacity of
a

over 0.5 seconds. The animation alternates producing a pulsing effect.

Hello world!

The animation model
The Web Animations model is a description of an engine for animation content on the web. The engine is sufficiently powerful to support CSS Transitions, CSS Animations and SVG Animations.
Web Animations also exposes a JS API to the model. This API defines a number of new interfaces that are exposed to JavaScript. We’ll go through some of the more important ones here: Animations, AnimationEffects, TimingDictionaries, TimingGroups, and Players.
 For example:
var animation = new Animation(targetElement,
[{left: '0px'}, {left: '100px'}], 2);
Here, the target element’s “left” CSS property is modified smoothly from 0px
to 100px
over 2 seconds.
Specifying animation effects
An AnimationEffect
object controls which CSS properties and SVG attributes are
modified by an animation, and the values that those properties and attributes
vary between. AnimationEffect objects also control whether the effect replaces
or adds to the underlying value.
There are three major kinds of effects: KeyframeEffect
, MotionPathEffect
, and CustomAnimationEffect
.
Animating between keyframes
A KeyframeEffect
controls one or more properties/attributes by linearly
interpolating values between specified keyframes. KeyframeEffects are usually
defined by specifying the keyframe offset and the property-value pair in a
dictionary:
[
{offset: 0.2, left: "35px"},
{offset: 0.6, left: "50px"},
{offset: 0.9, left: "70px"},
]
If the offset is not specified, keyframes are evenly distributed at offsets between 0 and 1.
[{left: "35px"}, {left: "50px"}, {left: "70px"}]
See the specification for the details of the keyframe distribution procedure, and how KeyframeEffects are evaluated at offsets outside those specified by the keyframes.
Animating along paths
A MotionPathEffect
allows elements to be animated along SVG-style paths. For example:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">
<defs>
<path id=path d="M 100,100 a 75,75 0 1,0 150,0 a 75,75 0 1,0 -150,0"/>
</defs>
</svg>

Custom animation effects
A CustomAnimationEffect
allows animations to generate call-outs to JavaScript
rather than manipulating properties directly. Please see the
specification for more details on this
feature.
Sequencing and synchronizing animations
Two different types of TimingGroups (ParGroup
and SeqGroup
) allow animations to be synchronized and sequenced.
To play a list of animations in parallel:
var parGroup = new ParGroup([new Animation(...), new Animation(...)]);
To play a list in sequence:
var seqGroup = new SeqGroup([new Animation(...), new Animation(...)]);
Because Animation
, ParGroup
, SeqGroup
are all TimedItems, groups can be nested:
var parGroup = new ParGroup([
new SeqGroup([
new Animation(...),
new Animation(...),
]),
new Animation(...)
]);
Groups also take an optional TimingDictionary parameter (see below), which among other things allows iteration and timing functions to apply at the group level:
var parGroup = new ParGroup([new Animation(...), new Animation(...)], {iterations: 4});
Controlling the animation timing
TimingDictionaries are used to control the internal timing of an animation (players control how an animation progresses relative to document time). TimingDictionaries have several properties that can be tweaked:
- duration: the duration of a single iteration of the animation
- iterations: the number of iterations of the animation that will be played (fractional iterationss are allowed)
- iterationStart: the start offset of the first iteration
- fill: whether the animation has effect before starting the first iteration and/or after finishing the final iteration
- delay: the time between the animation’s start time and the first animation effect of the animation
- playbackRate: the rate at which the animation progresses relative to external time
- direction: the direction in which successive iterations of the animation play back
- easing: fine-grained control over how external time impacts an animation across the total active duration of the animation.
The values provided within TimingDictionaries combine with the animation hierarchy to generate concrete start and end values for animation iterations, animation backwards fills, and animation forwards fills. There are a few simple rules which govern this:
- Animations never extend beyond the start or end values of their parent iteration.
- Animations only fill beyond their parent iteration if:
- the relevant fill value is selected for the animation;
- the matching fill value is selected for the parent; and
- this is the first parent iteration (for
fill: 'backward'
) or last parent iteration (forfill: 'forward'
)
- Missing
duration
values for TimingGroups are generated based on the calculated durations of the child animations.
The following example illustrates these rules:
var parGroup = new ParGroup([
new SeqGroup([
new Animation(..., {duration: 3}),
new Animation(..., {duration: 5, fill: 'both'})
], {duration: 6, delay: 3, fill: 'none'}),
new Animation(..., {duration: 8, fill: 'forward'})
], {iterations: 2, fill: 'forward'});
In this example:
- The
SeqGroup
has an explicitduration
of 6 seconds, and so the second child animation will only play for the first 3 of its 5 second duration - The
ParGroup
has no explicit duration, and will be provided with a calculated duration of the max (duration + delay
) of its children - in this case 9 seconds. - Although
fill: "both"
is specified for the secondAnimation
within theSeqGroup
, theSeqGroup
itself has afill
of “none”. Hence, as the animation ends right at the end of theSeqGroup
, the animation will only fill backwards, and only up until the boundary of theSeqGroup
(i.e. 3 seconds after the start of theParGroup
). - The
Animation
inside theParGroup
and theParGroup
are bothfill: "forward"
. Therefore the animation will fill forward in two places:- from 8 seconds after the
ParGroup
starts until the second iteration of theParGroup
starts (i.e. for 1 second) - from 17 seconds after the
ParGroup
starts, extending forward indefinitely.
- from 8 seconds after the
Playing Animations
In order to play an Animation
or TimingGroup
, a Player
must be constructed:
var player = document.timeline.play(myAnimation);
Players provide complete control the start time and current playback head of their attached animation. However, players can’t modify any internal details of an animation.
Players can be used to pause, seek, reverse, or modify the playback rate of an animation.
document.timeline.currentTime
is a timeline’s global time. It gives the number
of seconds since the document fired its load event.
Polyfill details
Getting started
Include web-animations.js
in your project:

Polyfill notes
Prefix handling
In order to work in as many browsers as feasible, we have decided to take the following approach to prefix handling:
- the polyfill will automatically detect the correctly prefixed name to use when writing animated properties back to the platform.
-
where possible, the polyfill will only accept unprefixed versions of experimental features. For example:
var animation = new Animation(elem, {"transform": "translate(100px, 100px)"}, 2);
will work in all browsers that implement a conforming version of
transform
, butvar animation = new Animation(elem, {"-webkit-transform": "translate(100px, 100px)"}, 2);
will not work anywhere.
Experimental features
When the polyfill requires features to implement functionality that is not inherently specified using those
features (for example, CSS calc()
is required in order to implement merging between lengths with different units)
then the polyfill will provide a console warning in browsers where these features are absent.
Tools & testing
For running tests or building minified files, consult the tooling information.


No. 16 Auburn hosts FCS Samford between rivalry game
by JOHN ZENORAUBURN, Ala. (AP) - The Auburn Tigers have had no choice but to revise their goals for this season.
Competitive losses to three Top 10 teams have knocked the 16th-ranked Tigers (7-3) from even longshot playoff and Southeastern Conference contention. They host in-state FCS team Samford (5-6) Saturday with a new goal firmly in place.
“Our goal now is to win 10 games, which is extremely hard to do with the schedule like we have,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.
Auburn finally snapped out of an offensive funk in the fourth quarter against No. 4 Georgia, but fell 21-14. Meeting that 10-win goal would require not only beating Samford, a private school in suburban Birmingham, but No. 5 Alabama and a bowl opponent to be named later.
The next step toward that 10-win goal should be the easiest one
But Auburn is still trying to get into gear offensively. Georgia and the SEC’s top defense held the Tigers scoreless through three quarters.
The Tigers’ defense hasn’t been the issue.
“This is the best defense I’ve ever faced in my entire life,” said Samford coach Chris Hatcher, wrapping up his 20th season as a college head coach. “They are a really top-echelon of college football, football team, especially on the defensive side.”
It’s the season finale for Samford, which has played a total of eight overtime periods, going 1-3 in games that went into OT.
Some other things to know about Auburn’s matchup against Samford:
BACKUP QB
This game should supply Auburn with its best chance to get new backup quarterback Cord Sandberg some experience. Sandberg moved up to the No. 2 spot behind Bo Nix with the late-October departure of Joey Gatewood, who plans to transfer. The former minor league baseball player hasn’t attempted a pass this season and has one rush for 4 yards.
SAMFORD VS. SEC
The Bulldogs are 2-77-3 all-time against current members of the Southeastern Conference, going 0-27-1 against Auburn. The Tigers have shut out Samford 18 times among those 28 meetings.
BURNS & SAMFORD
Auburn co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Kodi Burns got his first full-time coaching position at Samford. He coached the Bulldogs’ running backs in 2014 under former Auburn Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan.
AU RUNNING GAME
JaTarvious Whitlow, D.J. Williams and Auburn’s other running backs want to get going again. Nix was Auburn’s leading rusher against Georgia. Whitlow, returning from a knee injury, gained 23 yards on 11 carries and Williams wasn’t much more effective (eight rushes, 26 yards).
DUAL-THREAT QB
Samford quarterback Chris Oladokun is a threat as both a passer and a runner. He has passed for 2,064 yards and 18 touchdowns. Oladokun is also the team’s No. 2 rusher with 488 yards and eight TDs.

I Have To Know What's Going On With 3DMark's Robots
by Leah Williams3D Mark's Fire Strike is one of the oldest and most common benchmarks in the gaming industry. If you've ever seen it, you'll know that it features two hybrid rock-cyborgs fighting to the death. It's riveting stuff, but is there more to this battle of wills?
As I watched this battle over and over while testing the latest Razer Blade Stealth 13, I wondered just what I was watching. Who were these robots? Did they have names? What were there motivations, and how did they get here? Could they feel pain? Or happiness? The internet refused to answer any of these questions, so after many slow hours of benchmarking, I created my own.
Our protagonist — let's call her Maria — is alone travelling through a hostile world. The streets she travels are dark. She's not supposed to be here. Out of the corner of her eye, she spots a sign — "only humans allowed".
She huddles closer into her dark cloak.
There are only a handful of clues in the Fire Strike demo about Maria's world. We know it's populated by fantastical rockbeasts and robots. Despite this, humans rule the streets. Or perhaps the "Only Humans Allowed" sign indicates a society segregated by species, in which case, Maria might be a fugitive from this oppressive law. She seems keen to hide her physical form, so we can assume she's a rebel in defiance of the law.

What crime has Maria committed? Perhaps she's a rebel faced by an oppressive government regime. Perhaps she's an assassin, hiding from swift retribution. Maybe she's just minding her own business. Maria is clearly trained in some kind of subterfuge, because it's not long before she's whipping out her own swords and fighting back, revealing her robotic tatas and badonkadonk in the process.
Maria's a bit of a bad arse, spending a lot of the demo pulling off some high-flying ninja moves that I can only assume comes from years of training as a metal bad-ass.
But the golem is ruthless and Maria is nearly defeated when she drops her guard for a mere moment. The golem flings her off a cliff, nearly sending her into the lava abyss, where I presume the remainder of the humans and the robotic lower class live.
But when all seems hopeless, Maria unleashes a mysterious power that blows through the golem, knocking him back and shattering him into a hundred pieces that crumble around her.
And with that, the golem is banished.
Where did this power come from? Is Maria some kind of ethereal being saving the humans from their own destruction? Or perhaps there's a more logical explanation. Maybe I'm just descending further and further into madness as I replay this demo for hours on end. Does Maria's story really matter? Likely not — it is just a benchmarking demo. But I need to know who she is, and where her power comes from. I want to know how this robotic society functions, and why Maria is a fugitive.
There has to be a reason. The truth is out there, somewhere.

DJI adds Xbox controller support to a gimbal, because why not?
Why wouldn't you control your camera gimbal with an Xbox controller?
by Richard DevineSource: Windows Central
What you need to know
- DJI's Ronin-S gimbal now supports the Xbox One controller.
- DualShock 4 support also added.
- It allows you to control the camera and gimbal with the controller.
In today's edition of unexpected, perhaps slightly strange Xbox-related news, we have DJI swooping in with a new firmware for one of its products that adds support for the Xbox One controller. It's also not the one you might have expected.
The Ronin-S is the company's (somewhat) affordable gimbal system for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, and by all accounts is a pretty impressive piece of kit. I haven't used one, but if it's as good as the company's drones, I'm sure it's killer. And now you can use the best controller around to make life using one a little easier.
Added support for using PS4 DualShock and Xbox controllers to control the gimbal and camera. Photo capture, video recording, focus, zoom, profile switch, and gimbal movements can be controlled after connecting the controller to the mobile device and gimbal. Enter the Ronin app and select Create, and then open and stay on the Gaming Controller screen when using the PS4 DualShock controller or Xbox controller to control the gimbal. The speed and smoothness of the control sticks can be adjusted. Set the focus value within 10 for optimal performance. iOS 13 or higher, Android 9.0 or higher, and Ronin app v1.2.6 or higher are required.
Essentially it seems straight forward. You connect the controller to your Android handset or iPhone (Apple added support in iOS 13), and then you're good to go. Oh, and if you're a PS4 owner, you can also use the DualShock 4. It's a pretty neat idea, though I can certainly think of some other DJI products that this would be awesome to see on.
How about some love for the drones next, huh, DJI?

Definition: An informal public meeting where everyone in a community is invited to attend in order to hear discussion (and sometimes share opinions) on shared subjects of interest.
Explication: Town hall meetings are used as a system of government in some small American communities, particularly in rural New England, where the town community directly legislates policy and budget issues. Town meetings involve the discussion of a policy issue, and are followed by either a vote on that issue, or for contentious issues, postponement to a machine ballot at a later time. Portions of town meetings where a controversial issue is being discussed may not be distinguishable from town hall meetings, and so will be considered relevant for this event. However, town hall meetings do not involve voting or any other direct effect on policy, but just serve as a way for politicians to interact directly with their constituents. Town hall meetings may be held with officials from any level of government, from the village to the national level. The politicians will generally give a speech, and then respond to individual speakers from the crowd who line up at a microphone or are chosen by a moderator to be allowed to make direct comments to the official(s). Town hall meetings may be called to help officials address a particular controversial issue, or they may be made a regular part of a politician's schedule, but will often be used by the attendees as an opportunity to address controversial issues with that politician. Because town hall meeting attendees are often those with strong opinions on controversial subjects, the audience will often react strongly (either positively or negatively) to what is being said by the attendees speaking to the officials, or the officials themselves; the speakers will often get into heated arguments with the official(s) or each other, or provide a heated monologue during the town hall meeting.

Once on a time there was a lad who was walking along a road cracking nuts, so he found one that was worm-eaten, and just at that very moment he met the Deil.
“Is it true, now,” said the lad, “what they say, that the Deil can make himself as small as he chooses, and thrust himself on through a pinhole?”
“Yes, it is,” said the Deil.
“Oh! It is, is it? Then let me see you do it, and just creep into this nut,” said the lad.
So the Deil did it.
Now, when he had crept well into it through the worm’s hole, the lad stopped it up with a pin.
“Now, I’ve got you safe,” he said, and put the nut into his pocket.
So when he had walked on a bit, he came to a smithy, and he turned in and asked the smith if he’d be good enough to crack that nut for him.
“Ay, that’ll be an easy job,” said the smith, and took his smallest hammer, laid the nut on the anvil, and gave it a blow, but it wouldn’t break.
So he took another hammer a little bigger, but that wasn’t heavy enough either.
Then he took one bigger still, but it was still the same story; and so the smith got wroth, and grasped his great sledge-hammer.
“Now, I’ll crack you to bits,” he said, and let drive at the nut with all his might and main. And so the nut flew to pieces with a bang that blew off half the roof of the smithy, and the whole house creaked and groaned as though it were ready to fall.
“Why!
“So he was; you’re quite right,” said the lad, as he went away laughing.

I love xanax. it makes me feel happy, and frees me from my anxiety. It makes my day more productive. but....I love to have some when I'm drinking. It seems a concern with this drug is the withdrawal symptoms. I had been taking two or three 2 mg bars on most days for some time after easily getting a prescription for them on the internet.
At the time of the incident I was only taking xanax for the past several weeks. So anyway, I had a ton of work at the time, was very busy for a couple days and my dog was attacked by a friends dog and wounds became infected. So I was stressed, unrested, and not eating properly going a thousand miles an hour. Ah, the American life. I rushed to get my work done and then drove 400 miles to the bay area to the pup's animal hospital. I had no xanax, booze, or anything for three days. I then dropped dead weight in a market and had a grand mal tonic-clonic seizure. This is the most severe of seizures. I was out cold for 10 minutes, flipping like a fish.
When I 'came to' my brother had driven from his house to the market after my friend with me called him, and he called the ambulance. When they arrived I still didnít know my age when asked and felt lifeless. I have never felt more tired or confused. Every muscle in my body had clenched as hard as possible. By the time we made it to the ER, I was feeling better, was given a salt solution to prevent another seizure, a cat scan and released. Cat scan and MRI were clear. The ER reported the seizure to the DMV as required by CA law and my driving license was suspended. It took me a year to get it back after many neurologist visits and EEG tests and a lot of DMV red tape and waiting.
As far as the doc knows, this wasnít epilepsy, I've had no seizure before or in the 2 years since. The seizure was caused by my body withdrawing from the drug. If I had weaned myself off it wouldnít have occurred. After the seizure I had shiver like twitches for 2 months and irregular EEG tests for four months. Thatís how long it took my body to free itself of the drug.
Cost me my drivers license for a year, a few thousand $ for hospital bills, and my auto insurance rates doubled.  If I was driving when the seizure occurred as I was five minutes before it happened, I could have killed someone. My doc said that perhaps xanax could be a useful drug for me, but must be used properly at a normal dose and no 'cold turkey' quitting. Tolerance builds fast with this stuff, it's addictive, so this is a tricky substance that should be used carefully. I didn't see this coming.

What Unai Emery told Arsenal's players in dressing room after Frankfurt defeat
Unai Emery gave no indication to Arsenal’s players that he is on the verge of being sacked following his side’s defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Arsenal’s hierarchy will now meet on Friday to discuss the Spaniard’s future after the 2-1 loss at home to Frankfurt made it seven games without a victory for the Gunners.
Freddie Ljungberg, who is already part of Arsenal’s first-team coaching staff, is being lined up as Emery’s replacement on an interim basis.
According to The Athletic, it is ‘increasingly likely’ that Emery will be sacked on Friday following Arsenal’s worst run of form since February 1992.
But the report claims that in the dressing room after the defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, Emery urged his players to ‘forget’ about the loss because the Premier League fixture away to Norwich City on Sunday has ‘greater importance’.
Advertisement Advertisement
Arsenal remain top of Group F despite their defeat in the Europa League and beating Standard Liege in their final match on December 12 will ensure that they will progress as group winners.
But in the Premier League, Arsenal have gone five games without a win and are eight points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Speaking after his side’s latest defeat on Thursday evening, Emery acknowledged the criticism of Arsenal’s recent performances but remained focused on preparing for the game against Norwich on Sunday.
‘I am thinking about the next match and analysing that match and the Europa League, and thinking about Sunday and how we can improve and achieve that confidence with the players,’ said the Spaniard.
‘The players now are a little down in their feelings, but if we continue and can achieve a performance like the first half, I think that is the way.
‘I am thinking first about analysing the game over 90 minutes. Today we improved some things, but it wasn’t enough.
‘Yes, I can understand the criticism about the team, about me. We are not in a good moment and also as a coach, I had that moment also in my career.’


THE KILLER METEORS (FENG YU SHUANG LIU XING) A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 2000
Those accustomed to Jackie Chan in his early Hong Kong films are probably aware that the popular actor had to follow the same path as most of other major stars. He had to work his way up to the leading roles by playing second fiddles or characters that could be hardly associated with his current screen charisma. One of such interesting cases is THE KILLER METEORS, 1976 kung fu film directed by Lo Wei.
The hero of this film is My Way (played by Jimmy Wang Wu), martial arts expert equipped with secret and deadly weapon called "killer meteors". His reputation is such that any other martial arts expert or heavy in the neighbourhood has to pay him annual tribute just to stay alive. My Way's deadly reputation is matched only by those of "Immortal" Wa Wu Bin (played by Jackie Chan), another "Killer Meteor" who seeks his help. When two "Killer Meteors" meet, Wa Wu Bin is just a shadow of his former self, being poisoned by his treacherous wife, Madam Tempest, who gives him antidote in order to keep him alive. My Way is asked to steal the well- guarded antidote and he accepts, entering the deadly web of intrigue, treachery and shifting loyalties.
Fight scenes in THE KILLER METEORS are shorter and less spectacular than in an average kung fu film. But this is probably a good thing, since longer scenes would stand in the way of the plot, which is incredibly complex for a simple genre movie. There are numerous characters with hidden personal agendas and even more twists, enough to fill entire season of soap opera series, but screenwriter Ku Lung somehow manages to squeeze all that into feature film format. The resulting confusion should be attributed to poor dubbing and bad editing. Lo Wei's direction is hardly stellar, and some special effects are truly laughable. On the other hand, they give THE KILLER METEORS certain trash quality, together with some unintentionally funny lines spoken by characters. This film is still very entertaining, but probably less to those who take kung fu films more seriously. For those without prejudice, it could provide a good guilty pleasure.
RATING: 6/10 (++)

The Texan served in the U.S. Army and Navy (as the SNJ) as an advanced trainer that taught pilots how to fly fighters with powerful engines and shoot while they were doing it. In service with Commonwealth countries as the Harvard, the T-6 is a favorite among warbird fans and has its own racing class at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada.
P-39s did their best work on the Eastern front, where Soviet pilots did battle with the Luftwaffe at medium altitude. A decision not to equip the Allison engine in the P-39 with a two-stage supercharger left it gasping for air at high altitudes.
When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the only modern U.S. Army Air Force fighter stationed in Hawaii was the Curtiss P-40, an all-metal, 300-mph (if the pilot was lucky) 1934 design, updated by an inline Allison engine jammed in its snout. The P-40 was rapidly overtaken by far more capable fighters, but on December 7, 1941, the warplane boasted two winning features: In a dive, it was the fastest airplane in the world, and it was available.
In the months before Normandy, P-47 Thunderbolt pilots began using their fighters to bomb and strafe targets on the ground. After the P-51 Mustang arrived in England, the 56th Fighter Group, alone among the units of the Eighth Air Force, continued flying P-47s as bomber escorts; it remained the Eighth’s top-scoring group. Among the T-bolt’s laurels are the attacks that helped repel the Nazi advance known as the Battle of the Bulge, the World War II battle that proved most costly for Americans.

The MIM (Molecular Interaction Map) plugin for PathVisio allows users to produce diagrams of bioregulatory systems according to an implementation of notation first developed by Kurt Kohn in 1999. The plugin has two main features: 1) it provides users with the glyphs necessary to draw MIM diagrams and 2) it allows users to import and export to the MIM Markup Language (MIMML) format, a format developed to exchange MIM diagrams between MIM compatible tools and used to validate MIM diagrams. Diagrams produced using the MIM PathVisio plugin can be exported into several image formats including PDF, PNG, SVG, and TIFF.
The MIM notation is a graphical notation for biological systems for the representation of networks containing multi-protein complexes, protein modifications, and enzymes that are substrates of other enzymes. This graphical representation makes it possible to view all of the many interactions in which a given molecule may be involved, and it can portray competing interactions, which are common in bioregulatory networks. One aim of the MIM notation is to standardize diagrams of biological systems with a fixed set of glyphs with specific semantics. The specific semantics of the MIM notation can be translated into other standardized formats.
Here are two sample images: the activation of Chk2 in response to double strand breaks and an example diagram (shown below) showing all the various elements of the MIM notation, as implemented.
Researchers interested in using the MIM notation to diagram their biological systems. This would include researchers that want their diagrams to have a well-defined semantic attached to the elements in their diagrams. Because the MIM notation is a graphical notation for bioregulatory networks in general, the type of experiment or study is irrelevant.
Java is required for the usage of PathVisio and must be installed before PathVisio can be installed or used.
The MIM PathVisio plugin requires the installation of PathVisio, freely available diagram editor for biological systems, found here for Linux, Windows, or MacOS. There are two ways of installing PathVisio with the MIM plugin:
The easiest installation option is to use our PathVisio with MIM installer. This will install both PathVisio and MIM. This cross-platform installer has been tested on Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Ubuntu). The installer should start by clicking on it. If the installer does not start by clicking on it, the installer may be started with the following command line; Note: make sure to replace VERSION with the appropriate version number (e.g. 2.0.11).
java -jar PathVisio-MIM_VERSION-Setup.jar
Note: If the installer still does not work with the command line, then users should install PathVisio separately by following the these instructions, and then use Option 2 for the installation of the MIM Plugin.
The MIM PathVisio plugin uses MIMPlugin.jar file that can be downloaded here. This .jar file must be placed in the plugins folder of PathVisio:
In Windows XP, make sure that you have downloaded the .jar file to the following location. The word USER should be the name of the user for whom the plugin will be installed.
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\.PathVisio\plugins
In Windows Vista/7, make sure that you have downloaded the .jar file to the following location. The word USER should be the name of the user for whom the plugin will be installed.
C:\Users\USER\.PathVisio\plugins
In MacOS/Unix/Linux, make sure that you have downloaded the .jar file to the following location. The ~ symbol represents the home directory of the user for whom the plugin will be installed.
~/.PathVisio/plugins
Start PathVisio by running pathvisio.bat (Windows) or sh pathvisio.sh (MacOS/Unix/Linux)
Once the MIM PathVisio plugin has been installed, the MIM PathVisio plugin will be loaded whenever PathVisio is run. When the MIM plugin is loaded the MIM Glyphs panel should be visible which includes the glyphs used in the notation; this includes both entity and interaction glyphs. First-time users should look at this quick reference sheet that gives an overview of the MIM glyphs; a detailed specification is also available. Additionally, the MIM-specific line types will also appear in the Properties panel; these are prefixed with mim- and include the following:
Explanation of the MIM PathVisio plugin input files is provided in the file formats section. Example diagrams are provided as MIMML files.
Instructional videos are provided for the basic techniques needed to use the PathVisio MIM plugin. A RED dot in the videos indicates a left mouse click and a BLUE dot indicates a right mouse click. In addition to these videos, PathVisio provides documentation for many of its capabilities.
PathVisio makes pathway analysis accessible to users. Opening MIM diagrams in PathVisio is simple; the video below shows how to load, search, and view the additional content (comments, references, and additional gene IDs) stored with MIM diagrams.
Below are example of possible uses for MIM entity glyphs; a detailed explanation of the MIM notation and glyph usage can be found in the MIM specification; for a quick reference sheet of the MIM glyphs click here.
The MIM PathVisio plugin creates an additional entry in the Properties panel whenever a entity glyph is selected in PathVisio called Entity Controlled Vocabulary. The following values may be used and are taken from the BioPAX specification:
Protein domains are represented as features of a simple physical entity. Entity A in the example diagram has two entity features B and C. Entity feature C is a region on simple physical entity A that extends from position 10 to position 20. The labels of entity features should have one of the following formats: X, Y:X, Y:X:Z, or X:Z; where X is a text label, Y is an integer start location value, and Z is an integer end location value.
There are several pre-defined values for covalent modifiers of simple physical entities. These values should be used to increase the readability of diagrams.
Covalent modifications are specified as a covalent modification interaction connecting a modifier and a simple physical entity or entity feature. Entity A in the example diagram is modified at two locations: positions 1 and 2. These are indicated as part of the labels of the modifiers. The labels of modifiers should have one of the following formats: X, X:YZ, or X:Z; where X is a text label, Y is a capitalized single letter amino acid abbreviation, and Z is an integer location value.
It is encouraged that entities be represented only once on a diagram. A homodimer is represented as a reversible binding interaction between a protein and a restricted copy entity. A dimer of H is shown on the example diagram.
The transcription/translation arrowhead is used to describe both processes. Alternatively, to save space the production without loss arrowhead may be used to collapse this representation into a single interaction. This is shown in the example diagram as entity G being produced from K without the loss of any K molecules. Note: This does not carry the same semantics as the production of K from the template J.
Examples of the proper usage of branched interactions are shown in the example diagram. For instance, entity G is converted into entities N and the degradation products represented by the sink glyph. Graphically, the source of a branched interaction is represented as the direction of the branch. Currently, this semantic is not reproduced in MIMML files. Users may indicate the start of a branched interaction using the Interaction Start property in the Properties panel when an interaction is selected in PathVisio.
The listing below shows the most common scenarios for inclusion of a figure into a publication; methods will vary based on the intended publication type:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{FILENAME} \end{figure} \end{document}
Users of the MIM PathVisio plugin can import diagrams in any format that is supported PathVisio, which includes PathVisio's native formats GPML (.gpml) or GenMAPP (.mapp), and an additional Biopax plugin supports the BioPAX format. The MIM PathVisio plugin adds the capability to import and export the MIMML format which is based on the GPML format with modifications to support the validation of MIM diagrams represented by the MIMML files. The MIMML format is capable of representing the subset of the glyphs available in PathVisio that exist in the MIM notation. This MIM-specific format is used in the validation of MIM diagrams.
Validation of MIMML files is done using a Schematron-formatted rule set. The rule set can be used in any environment with an XSLT processor. The rule set is processed into an XSLT stylesheet that is then run against a MIMML file to generate a validation report. The sample command below uses the Xalan XSLT processor
Xalan mimml_validation.sch ./schematron/iso_svrl_for_xslt1.xsl > mimml_validation.xsl; Xalan example.mimml mimml_validation.xsl
