Provides WebDriver bindings for Dart. These use the WebDriver JSON interface,
and as such, require the use of the WebDriver remote server.
Using package:webdriver
In your Dart code, you can use:
import 'package:webdriver/io.dart';
WebDriver driver = createDriver(...);
This will use by default the asynchronous, JSON wire spec implementation. You
now can also use a synchronous version of WebDriver:
import 'package:webdriver/sync_io.dart';
final driver = createDriver(...);
This version of WebDriver supports both the JSON wire spec and W3C spec,
allowing use with modern versions of Firefox. This defaults to the JSON wire
spec, but can also be configured to use the W3C spec or even to try and
automatically infer the spec during session creation:
final w3cDriver = createDriver(spec: WebDriverSpec.W3c);
final anyDriver = createDriver(spec: WebDriverSpec.Auto);
Testing
Unfortunately using bazel with Dart libraries and Dart WebDriver is not yet
supported. We hope to add this at some point, but for now pub still works.
As a consequence, running tests is a bit more complicated than we'd like:
-
Launch a WebDriver binar(ies).
First, bring up chromedriver / geckodriver. Other conforming WebDriver
binaries should work as well, but we test against these:
chromedriver --port=4444 --url-base=wd/hub --verbose
geckodriver --port=4445
ChromeDriver is used to test our JSON wire spec implementation, and
geckodriver is used to test our W3C spec implementation.
Synchronous tests are labeled as Chrome/Firefox. All async tests run
exclusively against Chrome (as async, like ChromeDriver supports only the old
JSON wire spec).
-
Run a test. All files suffixed with _test.dart are tests.
dart test test/path/to/the_test.dart -r expanded -p vm
Or to run all tests:
dart test -r expanded -p vm
You should probably go get a coffee or something, this is gonna take a while.
