34

34.js

Yet another Selenium WebDriver library for Node...

(Warning: This is a design doc... There's no code, yet! But when it lands, it'll most likely be based on webdriver-http-sync.

Goals:

• JavaScripty - This should feel like a JavaScript API, not a port from Java
• For automating web browsers: desktop and mobile
• Synchronous API - Async makes no sense for shell scripts or user interface test automation.
• Try to reduce locator strategy proliferation. Use CSS selectors as much as possible.
• Optimize for interactive exploration at the console.
• Yeah:
  • Pithy property names FTW
  • Easy discovery of properties via tab completion in the console.
  • e.g. thing.frobulate
• Boo:
  • e.g. driver.window().getFrobulateStatusOfThing(By.whyAmIStillTyping())

Non-Goals:

• Automating non-web native apps. (Although I hope this is temporary!)
