Selenium::Client

WC3 Standard selenium client

Automatically spins up/down drivers when pointing at localhost and nothing is already listening on the provided port

Working Drivers:

• Gecko
• Chrome
• MicrosoftEdge
• Safari

Also can auto-fetch the SeleniumHQ JAR file and run it. This feature is only tested with the Selenium 4.0 or better JARs.

Also contains:

• Selenium::Specification

Module to turn the Online specification documents for Selenium into JSON specifications for use by API clients

Soon to come:

• BrowserMob Proxy integration

• Selenium::Server

Pure perl selenium server (that proxies commands to browser drivers, much like the SeleniumHQ Jar)

• Selenium::Grid

Pure perl selenium grid API server

• Selenium::Driver::Playwright

Selenium implemented in playwright (so that it no longer is crippled by inability to access some attrs/props)

• Selenium::Client::SRD

Drop-in replacement for Selenium::Remote::Driver

Care and feeding

This module stores a number of things in your homedirectory's .selenium folder. You may want to clear this out periodically, as various log files and configuration data becomes stale.

BUILDING

This is a Dist::Zilla CPAN module. To build this project, do the following:

• Install Dist::Zilla either via cpan or your favorite package manager

• dzil authordeps --missing | sudo cpanm

• dzil listdeps --missing | sudo cpanm

• dzil build

TESTING

To check how this works with your setup, install Selenium::Client from CPAN (or just clone this repo), and then run:

prove -vm -Ilib at/sanity.test

If you encounter problems, you can get extra debugging output (which would be very much appreciated in any issues you file):

NO_HEADLESS=1 DEBUG=1 prove -vm -Ilib at/sanity.test

This runs through 100% of the WC3 selenium API. At release it passed on all of the supported browsers on:

• Windows 10
• OSX 10.13
• Ubuntu Linux (focal)

Please file a bug report on this repository's tracker if you get a NOT OK that isn't already in a SKIP or TODO block.
