setup-selenium-testing

I get tired of having to rewrite the setup logic for selenium drivers in every project. Time to consolidate.

Instantiating SetupSelenium

This will automatically handle any downloading of drivers or browsers via SeleniumManager

from setup_selenium import SetupSelenium

s = SetupSelenium(headless=True)
assert s.driver.service.is_connectable()

Advanced usage:

from setup_selenium import Browser, SetupSelenium

s = SetupSelenium(Browser.FIREFOX, headless=True, driver_version="118.0.5993.70")
s = SetupSelenium(Browser.CHROME, headless=True, driver_version="118.0.5993.70",
                  driver_path="/path/to/webdriver"
                  )

Note

Version and path arguments follow the logic of SeleniumManager. Caution is advised in cases where version and path do not match. See their documentation.

Install Driver only

from setup_selenium import Browser, SetupSelenium

driver_path, browser_path = SetupSelenium.install_driver(Browser.CHROME, driver_version="118.0.5993.70")

Create driver only

from setup_selenium import Browser, SetupSelenium

driver = SetupSelenium.create_driver(browser=Browser.CHROME, headless=True)

Advanced usage:

from setup_selenium import Browser, SetupSelenium

driver = SetupSelenium.create_driver(
    browser=Browser.CHROME,
    headless=True,
    enable_log_performance=False,
    enable_log_console=False,
    enable_log_driver=False,
    log_dir="./logs",
    binary="/usr/bin/chromium",
    driver_path="/usr/bin/chromedriver",
)

Note

It is possible to enable the performance and console logging but only for chrome based browsers. This only enables the browser ability. It is up to the tester to handle logging the messages.

Custom logger

import logging
from setup_selenium import Browser, SetupSelenium, set_logger

set_logger(logging.getLogger("your_custom_logger"))
driver = SetupSelenium.create_driver(browser=Browser.CHROME, headless=True)

Automatic driver and browser installation

This package not only handles setup of the webdriver but also will automatically install the webdriver and/or browser depending on your configuration.

If you do not provide a driver_path argument to create_driver the package will utilize selenium-manager to install the webdriver for the browser type selected.

If the selenium-manager cannot find the install path for the browser type (which is usually in the native install path) it will download a version of the browser and use that.

Passing a valid binary_path will not trigger any download of the browser. Passing a valid driver_path will not trigger any download of the webdriver.

CHANGELOG

• removed --remote-debugging-pipe from default chrome options (causes older chrome to crash)

version 1.0.0

• official release
