selenium-standalone
Advanced tools
installs a `start-selenium` command line to start a standalone selenium server with chrome-driver
The selenium-standalone npm package is a tool that allows you to easily install and run a standalone Selenium server. This is useful for running automated tests in various browsers without needing to manually set up the Selenium server and browser drivers.
Install Selenium Server and Browser Drivers
This feature allows you to install the Selenium server and browser drivers (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver) with a single command. The code sample demonstrates how to install the latest versions of the Selenium server and drivers for Chrome and Firefox.
const selenium = require('selenium-standalone');
selenium.install({
version: 'latest',
baseURL: 'https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com',
drivers: {
chrome: { version: 'latest' },
firefox: { version: 'latest' }
},
logger: function(message) {
console.log(message);
}
}, function(err) {
if (err) { return console.error(err); }
console.log('Selenium and drivers installed successfully');
});
Start Selenium Server
This feature allows you to start the Selenium server programmatically. The code sample demonstrates how to start the Selenium server and log a message upon successful startup.
const selenium = require('selenium-standalone');
selenium.start(function(err, child) {
if (err) { return console.error(err); }
console.log('Selenium server started successfully');
// child is a ChildProcess instance
});
Stop Selenium Server
This feature allows you to stop the Selenium server programmatically. The code sample demonstrates how to start the Selenium server and then stop it after 10 seconds.
const selenium = require('selenium-standalone');
selenium.start(function(err, child) {
if (err) { return console.error(err); }
console.log('Selenium server started successfully');
// Stop the server after 10 seconds
setTimeout(() => {
child.kill();
console.log('Selenium server stopped');
}, 10000);
});
webdriver-manager is a tool for managing WebDriver binaries. It can download, update, and start WebDriver binaries for different browsers. Unlike selenium-standalone, which focuses on running a standalone Selenium server, webdriver-manager is more focused on managing the WebDriver binaries themselves.
selenium-webdriver is the official Selenium package for Node.js. It provides bindings for the WebDriver API and allows you to write automated tests for web applications. While selenium-standalone focuses on setting up and running the Selenium server, selenium-webdriver is used for writing and executing the tests themselves.
Nightwatch is an end-to-end testing framework that uses the WebDriver API. It provides a higher-level API for writing tests and includes built-in support for running tests with Selenium. Nightwatch can manage the Selenium server and browser drivers, similar to selenium-standalone, but it also includes additional features for writing and organizing tests.
