selenium-drivers

Node.js binding for selenium browser drivers. Sets up your system environment and keeps drivers up to date for various browsers and operating systems.

• Currently works only with WebDriverJs
• Suitable for running locally or with CI
• supported NodeJs: 6.x or above
• by default uses newest drivers (make sure your browser is also up to date)

Make sure your OS & Browser are supported!

Use case:

var webDriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var seleniumDrivers = require('selenium-drivers');

seleniumDrivers.init({

    browserName: 'chrome',
    download: true

}).then(function () {

    var driver = new webDriver.Builder()
        .forBrowser('chrome')
        .build();

    driver.get('http://www.google.com/ncr');
});

Options

• browserName: ('chrome' | 'firefox' | 'internet explorer' | 'safari') specify browser name
• silent: (true | false) set to false for verbose output (default: true)
• download: (true | false) disable driver download (default: true)
