Description: A Node.js bindings implementation for the W3C WebDriver and Mobile JSONWire Protocol
Author: Christian Bromann
Latest version: 7.27.0

WebDriver
=========

> A lightweight, non-opinionated implementation of the [WebDriver specification](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) including mobile commands supported by [Appium](http://appium.io/)

There are [tons](https://github.com/christian-bromann/awesome-selenium#javascript) of Selenium and WebDriver binding implementations in the Node.js world. Every one of them have an opinionated API and recommended way to use. This binding is the most non-opinionated you will find as it just represents the [WebDriver specification](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) and doesn't come with any extra or higher level abstraction. It is lightweight and comes with support for the [WebDriver specification](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) and Appium's [Mobile JSONWire Protocol](https://github.com/appium/appium-base-driver/blob/master/docs/mjsonwp/protocol-methods.md).

The package supports the following protocols:

- [WebDriver](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/)
- [Appium](http://appium.io/)
- [Chromium](http://chromedriver.chromium.org/) (additional Chromedriver specific commands)
- [Selenium](https://www.selenium.dev/) (additional Selenium WebDriver specific commands)
- [Sauce Labs](https://saucelabs.com/) (Sauce Labs specific WebDriver extensions)
- [JSONWireProtocol](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol) (depcrecated)
- [Mobile JSONWireProtocol](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/mobile-spec/blob/master/spec-draft.md) (depcrecated)

Commands are added to the clients protocol based on assumptions of provided capabilities. You can find more details about the commands by checking out the [`@wdio/protocols`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wdio/protocols) package. All commands come with TypeScript support.

## Install

To install this package from NPM run:

```sh
npm i webdriver
```

## Example

The following example demonstrates a simple Google Search scenario:

```js
import WebDriver from 'webdriver';

(async () => {
    const client = await WebDriver.newSession({
        path: '/',
        capabilities: { browserName: 'firefox' }
    })

    await client.navigateTo('https://www.google.com/ncr')

    const searchInput = await client.findElement('css selector', '#lst-ib')
    await client.elementSendKeys(searchInput['element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf'], 'WebDriver')

    const searchBtn = await client.findElement('css selector', 'input[value="Google Search"]')
    await client.elementClick(searchBtn['element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf'])

    console.log(await client.getTitle()) // outputs "WebDriver - Google Search"

    await client.deleteSession()
})()
```

# Configuration

To create a WebDriver session call the `newSession` method on the `WebDriver` class and pass in your configurations:

```js
import WebDriver from 'webdriver'
const client = await WebDriver.newSession(options)
```

Type: `String`<br />
Default: *info*<br />

Default: *http*
Options: *http* | *https*

### hostname
Host of your WebDriver server.

Type: `String`<br />
Default: *localhost*

### port

### queryParams
Query parameters that are propagated to the driver server.

Type: `Object`
Default: `null`

### connectionRetryTimeout

Type: `Number`<br />
Default: *120000*

### connectionRetryCount

### agent

Allows you to use a custom` http`/`https`/`http2` [agent](https://www.npmjs.com/package/got#agent) to make requests.

Type: `Object`<br />
Default:

```js
{
    http: new http.Agent({ keepAlive: true }),
    https: new https.Agent({ keepAlive: true })
}
```

### transformRequest
Function intercepting [HTTP request options](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got#options) before a WebDriver request is made

Type: `(RequestOptions) => RequestOptions`<br />
Default: *none*

### transformResponse
Function intercepting HTTP response objects after a WebDriver response has arrived
