Advanced tools
A fake WebDriver server that does nothing, built on generic-webdriver-server.
A fake WebDriver server, implementing the subset of the WebDriver protocol necessary for Karma.
A backend implementation for the Generic WebDriver Server family. Does not actually do anything, but serves as an example and tool for testing Selenium integration in general.
This is a template and has not been published as a real package. You can't install it via NPM!
First, please refer to the "Setup" doc for Generic WebDriver Server. That will explain how to set up Selenium to talk to Generic WebDriver Servers, as well as how to set server parameters.
In the command-line for the Selenium node, set the following Java system properties:
genericwebdriver.browser.name
: The name of your fake browser. See also
notes in the "Setup" doc.genericwebdriver.backend.exe
: The path to the executable, such as
path/to/generic-webdriver-server/backends/fake/fake-webdriver-server.js
This backend supports the following parameters:
foo
: Gets added to the fake page title, just to show how to access
parameters in a backend implementation.bar
: Does nothing at all!It doesn't! If you hook this up to Karma, Karma will time out waiting for the "browser" to connect back to it.
