A Node.js bindings implementation for the W3C WebDriver and Mobile JSONWire Protocol
npm install @testplane/webdriverWebDriver
=========
> A lightweight, non-opinionated implementation of the WebDriver and WebDriver BiDi specification including mobile commands supported by Appium
There are tons of Selenium and WebDriver binding implementations in the Node.js world. Every one of them has an opinionated API and recommended way to use it. This binding is the most non-opinionated you will find as it just represents the WebDriver specification and doesn't come with any extra or higher-level abstraction. It is lightweight and comes with support for the WebDriver specification and Appium's Mobile JSONWire Protocol.
The package supports the following protocols:
- WebDriver
- WebDriver Bidi
- Appium
- Chromium (additional Chromedriver specific commands)
- Selenium (additional Selenium WebDriver specific commands)
- Sauce Labs (Sauce Labs specific WebDriver extensions)
- JSONWireProtocol (deprecated)
- Mobile JSONWireProtocol (deprecated)
Commands are added to the client's protocol based on assumptions of provided capabilities. You can find more details about the commands by checking out the @testplane/wdio-protocols package. All commands come with TypeScript support.
To install this package from NPM run:
``sh`
npm i webdriver
The following example demonstrates a simple Google Search scenario:
`js
import WebDriver from '@testplane/webdriver';
const client = await WebDriver.newSession({
path: '/',
capabilities: { browserName: 'firefox' }
})
await client.navigateTo('https://www.google.com/ncr')
const searchInput = await client.findElement('css selector', '#lst-ib')
await client.elementSendKeys(searchInput['element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf'], 'WebDriver')
const searchBtn = await client.findElement('css selector', 'input[value="Google Search"]')
await client.elementClick(searchBtn['element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf'])
console.log(await client.getTitle()) // outputs "WebDriver - Google Search"
await client.deleteSession()
`
To connect to the WebDriver Bidi protocol you have to send along a webSocketUrl flag to tell the browser driver to opt-in to the protocol:
`js
import WebDriver from '@testplane/webdriver'
const browser = await WebDriver.newSession({
capabilities: {
webSocketUrl: true,
browserName: 'firefox'
}
})
await browser.sessionSubscribe({ events: ['log.entryAdded'] })
/**
* returns: {"type":"console","method":"log","realm":null,"args":[{"type":"string","value":"Hello Bidi"}],"level":"info","text":"Hello Bidi","timestamp":1657282076037}
*/
browser.on('log.entryAdded', (entryAdded) => console.log('received %s', entryAdded))
await browser.executeScript('console.log("Hello Bidi")', [])
await browser.deleteSession()
`
To create a WebDriver session call the newSession method on the WebDriver class and pass in your configurations:
`js`
import WebDriver from '@testplane/webdriver'
const client = await WebDriver.newSession(options)
