To start Firefox browser on MAC using Selenium webdriver we have to use gecko driver which will interact with Firefox browser.In the previous post, we have already discussed how to work with Chrome on MAC using Selenium. In Selenium 2 we have not used any driver for Firefox but in Selenium 3 for every browser, we have to use third party driver which will perform our task. Repurposed nuget package of Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver (packing process differs slightly) Install Chrome Driver(Win32) for Selenium WebDriver into your Unit Test Project. 'chromedriver.exe' is copied to bin folder from package folder when the build process. NuGet package restoring ready, and no need to commit 'chromedriver.exe' binary into source code control repository.
Chrome WebDriver is provided by Selenium2. To use it, you need to install Selenium2 via pip:
It’s important to note that you also need to have Google Chrome installed in your machine.
Chrome can also be used from a custom path. To do this pass the executable path as a dictionary to the **kwargs argument. The dictionary should be set up with executable_path as the key and the value set to the path to the executable file.
Setting up Chrome WebDriver¶
In order to use Google Chrome with Splinter, since we’re using Selenium 2.3.x,you need to setup Chrome webdriver properly.
Mac OS X¶
The recommended way is by using Homebrew:
Linux¶
Go to the download page on the Chromium project and choosethe correct version for your Linux installation. Then extract the downloaded file in adirectory in the
PATH (e.g. /usr/bin ). You can also extract it to anydirectory and add that directory to the PATH :
Linux 64bits¶Windows¶
Note: We don’t provide official support for Windows, but you can try it by yourself.
All you need to do is go to download page on Selenium project and choose“ChromeDriver server for win”. Your browser will download a zip file, extract it and add the
.exe file to your PATH.
If you don’t know how to add an executable to the PATH on Windows, check these link out:
Using Chrome WebDriver¶
To use the Chrome driver, all you need to do is pass the string
chrome when you createthe Browser instance:
Note: if you don’t provide any driver to the
Browser function, firefox will be used.
Note: if you have trouble with
$HOME/.bash_profile , you can try $HOME/.bashrc .
Using headless option for Chrome¶
Starting with Chrome 59, we can run Chrome as a headless browser.Make sure you read google developers updates
Using incognito option for Chrome¶
We can run Chrome as a incognito browser.
Using emulation mode in Chrome¶
Chrome options can be passed to customize Chrome’s behaviour; it is then possible to leverage theexperimental emulation mode.
