New Relic Scripted Browser Local Implementation
npm install newrelic-scripted-browserA local runner for the New Relic Synthetics Scripted Browser
New Relic came up with a solution for running Selenium on a scheduled frequency. It also features a performance dashboard and a data-driven SLA. This is a new feature offered under their [Synthecits] monitoring suite called Scripting Monitors. The Selenium runner monitor type is called a “Scripted Browser.”
Scripted Browser uses a syntax for the runner that is unique to New Relic.
``js`
//Visit https://docs.newrelic.com
$browser.get("https://docs.newrelic.com");
Since Selenium testing is difficult locally, it’s 100X that as a website. I needed a local runner for their syntax, so it could be a copy-paste implementation.
`bash`
npm install scripted-browser
This project has a detailed example in ./example. To run the example, cd into that directory, npm_install, and run commands from there.
