What is webdriver?

The 'webdriver' npm package is an HTTP client for interacting with WebDriver-compatible browsers for the purpose of performing automated web application testing. It allows you to control a browser programmatically and perform actions like navigating to URLs, interacting with web page elements, and executing JavaScript within the context of the browser.

What are webdriver's main functionalities?

Browser Navigation

This code sample demonstrates how to navigate to a URL using the webdriver package. It initializes a new browser session, navigates to 'https://example.com', and then closes the session.

const { remote } = require('webdriverio');

(async () => {
  const browser = await remote({
    capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' }
  });

  await browser.url('https://example.com');

  await browser.deleteSession();
})();

Element Interaction

This code sample shows how to interact with web page elements. It finds an input field and a button by their selectors, sets a value in the input field, and clicks the button.

const { remote } = require('webdriverio');

(async () => {
  const browser = await remote({
    capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' }
  });

  await browser.url('https://example.com');
  const input = await browser.$('input#search');
  await input.setValue('WebdriverIO');
  const button = await browser.$('button#submit');
  await button.click();

  await browser.deleteSession();
})();

Executing JavaScript

This code sample illustrates executing custom JavaScript code in the context of the browser. It retrieves and logs the title of the current web page.

const { remote } = require('webdriverio');

(async () => {
  const browser = await remote({
    capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' }
  });

  await browser.url('https://example.com');
  const result = await browser.execute(() => {
    return document.title;
  });
  console.log('Document title is: ' + result);

  await browser.deleteSession();
})();
