selenium-webdriver¶

Capabilities¶

Browser selection is done by passing browser parameters. For instance :

ui5-test-runner --browser $/selenium-webdriver.js -- --browser firefox

Supported browsers :

• chrome
• firefox
• edge

Options¶

  -b, --browser <name>   Browser driver (default: "chrome")
  --visible [flag]       Show the browser (default: false)
  -s, --server <server>  Selenium server URL
  --binary <binary>      Binary path

Implementation notes¶

Please check https://www.npmjs.com/package/selenium-webdriver#installation for installing browser driver.

Unfortunately, the capabilities depend on the selected browser. Usually, chrome is the one with the most features.

Running a selenium server within docker¶

To utilize Docker images for hosting the Selenium server, it is recommended to set up a host mapping to facilitate communication between the Docker container and the internal server of the UI5 test runner.

For example, you can use the hostname myhost:

1. Start the Docker container with the following command:

docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --add-host myhost:host-gateway --name selenium-chrome selenium/standalone-chrome:latest`

1. Execute the test runner using the --localhost option as shown below:

ui5-test-runner --localhost myhost --browser $/selenium-webdriver.js --browser chrome -s http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
