webdriverjs
Advanced tools
This library is a webdriver module for nodejs. It makes it possible to write super easy selenium tests in your favorite BDD or TDD test framework.
Have a look at the many examples.
Breaking 1.x API changes, see upgrading to 1.x.
npm install webdriverjs
webdriverjs implements most of selenium's JsonWireProtocol.
Make sure you have a running selenium standalone/grid/hub.
Or use selenium-standalone package to run one easily.
var webdriverjs = require('../index');
var options = {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome'
}
};
webdriverjs
.remote(options)
.init()
.url('http://www.google.com')
.title(function(err, res) {
console.log('Title was: ' + res.value);
})
.end();
See the full list of options you can pass to .remote(options)
See helpers and protocol methods.
Type: Object
Example:
browserName: 'chrome', // options: firefox, chrome, opera, safari
version: '27.0', // browser version
platform: 'XP', // OS platform
tags: ['tag1','tag2'], // specify some tags (e.g. if you use Sauce Labs)
name: 'my test' // set name for test (e.g. if you use Sauce Labs)
See the selenium documentation for a list of the available capabilities.
Type: String
Default: silent
Options: verbose | silent | command | data | result
Saves a screenshot to a given path if selenium driver crashes
Type: String|null
Default: null
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Set to true if you always want to reuse the same remote
The JsonWireProtocol provides several strategies to query an element. WebdriverJS simplifies these to make it more familiar with the common existing selector libraries like Sizzle. The following selector types are supported:
client.click('h2.subheading a', function(err,res) {...}) etc.<a href="http://webdriver.io">WebdriverJS</a>)
query the text starting with an equal (=) sign. In this example use =WebdriverJS*=
in front of the query string (e.g. *=driver)<tag> or <tag />[name="some-name"] as
selector parameter//BODY/DIV[6]/DIV[1]/SPAN[1]In near future WebdriverJS will cover more selector features like form selector (e.g. :password,:file etc)
or positional selectors like :first or :nth.
If you which to extend with your own set of commands there is a method
called addCommand available from the client object:
var client = require("webdriverjs").remote();
// create a command the returns the current url and title as one result
// just to show an example
client.addCommand("getUrlAndTitle", function(cb) {
this.url(function(err,urlResult) {
this.getTitle(function(err,titleResult) {
var specialResult = {url: urlResult.value, title: titleResult};
cb(err,specialResult);
})
});
});
client
.init()
.url('http://www.github.com')
.getUrlAndTitle(function(err,result){
assert.equal(null, err)
assert.strictEqual(result.url,'https://github.com/');
assert.strictEqual(result.title,'GitHub · Build software better, together.');
})
.end();
If you want to help us in developing webdriverjs, you can easily add mocha tests and run them locally:
npm install -g selenium-standalone http-server
# start a local selenium instances
start-selenium
# serves the test directory holding the test files
http-server test
# runs tests !
npm test

These are the current implemented helper methods. All methods take from 0 to a couple of parameters. Also all methods accept a callback so that we can assert values or have more logic when the callback is called.

The 1.x refactor was done to fix many bugs due to the chain API.
We also removed some features that were not well designed/fully functionning:
singleton option defaults to falsewebdriverjs.endAll and webdriverjs.sessions methods are gone. You must access them on the
