Extends Helper
WebDriver helper which wraps webdriverio library to manipulate browser using Selenium WebDriver or PhantomJS.
WebDriver requires Selenium Server and ChromeDriver/GeckoDriver to be installed. Those tools can be easily installed via NPM. Please check Testing with WebDriver for more details.
With the release of WebdriverIO version v8.14.0, and onwards, all driver management hassles are now a thing of the past 🙌. Read more here.
One of the significant advantages of this update is that you can now get rid of any driver services you previously had to manage, such as
wdio-chromedriver-service, wdio-geckodriver-service, wdio-edgedriver-service, wdio-safaridriver-service, and even @wdio/selenium-standalone-service.
For those who require custom driver options, fear not; WebDriver Helper allows you to pass in driver options through custom WebDriver configuration. If you have a custom grid, use a cloud service, or prefer to run your own driver, there's no need to worry since WebDriver Helper will only start a driver when there are no other connection information settings like hostname or port specified.
This helper should be configured in codecept.conf.js
Type: object
urlstring base url of website to be tested.browserstring Browser in which to perform testing.bidiProtocolboolean? WebDriver Bidi Protocol. Default: false. More info: https://webdriver.io/docs/api/webdriverBidi/basicAuthstring? (optional) the basic authentication to pass to base url. Example: {username: 'username', password: 'password'}hoststring? WebDriver host to connect.portnumber? WebDriver port to connect.protocolstring? protocol for WebDriver server.pathstring? path to WebDriver server.restartboolean? restart browser between tests.smartWait(boolean | number)? enables SmartWait; wait for additional milliseconds for element to appear. Enable for 5 secs: "smartWait": 5000.disableScreenshotsboolean? don't save screenshots on failure.fullPageScreenshotsboolean? (optional - make full page screenshots on failure.uniqueScreenshotNamesboolean? option to prevent screenshot override if you have scenarios with the same name in different suites.keepBrowserStateboolean? keep browser state between tests whenrestartis set to false.keepCookiesboolean? keep cookies between tests whenrestartset to false.windowSizestring? default window size. Set tomaximizeor a dimension in the format640x480.waitForTimeoutnumber? sets default wait time in ms for allwait*functions.desiredCapabilitiesobject? Selenium's desired capabilities.manualStartboolean? do not start browser before a test, start it manually inside a helper withthis.helpers["WebDriver"]._startBrowser().timeoutsobject? WebDriver timeouts defined as hash.highlightElementboolean? highlight the interacting elements. Default: false. Note: only activate under verbose mode (--verbose).logLevelstring? level of logging verbosity. Default: silent. Options: trace | debug | info | warn | error | silent. More info: https://webdriver.io/docs/configuration/#loglevel
Example:
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
smartWait: 5000,
browser: "chrome",
restart: false,
windowSize: "maximize",
timeouts: {
"script": 60000,
"page load": 10000
}
}
}
}Testing Chrome locally is now more convenient than ever. You can define a browser channel, and WebDriver Helper will take care of downloading the specified browser version for you. For example:
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
smartWait: 5000,
browser: "chrome",
browserVersion: '116.0.5793.0', // or 'stable', 'beta', 'dev' or 'canary'
restart: false,
windowSize: "maximize",
timeouts: {
"script": 60000,
"page load": 10000
}
}
}
}Example with basic authentication
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
smartWait: 5000,
browser: "chrome",
basicAuth: {username: 'username', password: 'password'},
restart: false,
windowSize: "maximize",
timeouts: {
"script": 60000,
"page load": 10000
}
}
}
}Additional configuration params can be used from webdriverio website.
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
url: "http://localhost",
browser: "chrome",
desiredCapabilities: {
chromeOptions: {
args: [ "--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--no-sandbox" ]
}
}
}
}
}{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
url: "http://localhost",
browser: "chrome",
desiredCapabilities: {
chromeOptions: {
args: [ "--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--no-sandbox" ]
}
}
}
}
}Additional configuration params can be used from IE options
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
url: "http://localhost",
browser: "internet explorer",
desiredCapabilities: {
ieOptions: {
"ie.browserCommandLineSwitches": "-private",
"ie.usePerProcessProxy": true,
"ie.ensureCleanSession": true,
}
}
}
}
}Selenoid is a modern way to run Selenium inside Docker containers.
Selenoid is easy to set up and provides more features than original Selenium Server. Use selenoidOptions to set Selenoid capabilities
{
helpers: {
WebDriver : {
url: "http://localhost",
browser: "chrome",
desiredCapabilities: {
selenoidOptions: {
enableVNC: true,
}
}
}
}
}CodeceptJS also provides flexible options when you want to execute tests to Selenium servers through proxy. You will
need to update the helpers.WebDriver.capabilities.proxy key.
{
helpers: {
WebDriver: {
capabilities: {
proxy: {
"proxyType": "manual|pac",
"proxyAutoconfigUrl": "URL TO PAC FILE",
"httpProxy": "PROXY SERVER",
"sslProxy": "PROXY SERVER",
"ftpProxy": "PROXY SERVER",
"socksProxy": "PROXY SERVER",
"socksUsername": "USERNAME",
"socksPassword": "PASSWORD",
"noProxy": "BYPASS ADDRESSES"
}
}
}
}
}For example,
{
helpers: {
WebDriver: {
capabilities: {
proxy: {
"proxyType": "manual",
"httpProxy": "http://corporate.proxy:8080",
"socksUsername": "codeceptjs",
"socksPassword": "secret",
"noProxy": "127.0.0.1,localhost"
}
}
}
}
}Please refer to Selenium - Proxy Object for more information.
WebDriver makes it possible to execute tests against services like Sauce Labs BrowserStack TestingBot
Check out their documentation on available parameters
Connecting to BrowserStack and Sauce Labs is simple. All you need to do
is set the user and key parameters. WebDriver automatically know which
service provider to connect to.
{
helpers:{
WebDriver: {
url: "YOUR_DESIRED_HOST",
user: "YOUR_BROWSERSTACK_USER",
key: "YOUR_BROWSERSTACK_KEY",
capabilities: {
"browserName": "chrome",
// only set this if you're using BrowserStackLocal to test a local domain
// "browserstack.local": true,
// set this option to tell browserstack to provide addition debugging info
// "browserstack.debug": true,
}
}
}
}SauceLabs can be configured via wdio service, which should be installed additionally:
npm i @wdio/sauce-service --save
It is important to make sure it is compatible with current webdriverio version.
Enable wdio plugin in plugins list and add sauce service:
plugins: {
wdio: {
enabled: true,
services: ['sauce'],
user: ... ,// saucelabs username
key: ... // saucelabs api key
// additional config, from sauce service
}
}See complete reference on webdriver.io.
Alternatively, use codeceptjs-saucehelper for better reporting.
BrowserStack can be configured via wdio service, which should be installed additionally:
npm i @wdio/browserstack-service --save
It is important to make sure it is compatible with current webdriverio version.
Enable wdio plugin in plugins list and add browserstack service:
plugins: {
wdio: {
enabled: true,
services: ['browserstack'],
user: ... ,// browserstack username
key: ... // browserstack api key
// additional config, from browserstack service
}
}See complete reference on webdriver.io.
Alternatively, use codeceptjs-bshelper for better reporting.
Recommended: use official TestingBot Helper.
Alternatively, TestingBot can be configured via wdio service, which should be installed additionally:
npm i @wdio/testingbot-service --save
It is important to make sure it is compatible with current webdriverio version.
Enable wdio plugin in plugins list and add testingbot service:
plugins: {
wdio: {
