<summary> ▶️ How is <b>SeleniumBase</b> different from raw Selenium? (<b>click to expand</b>)</summary>
<div>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase is a Python framework for browser automation and testing. SeleniumBase uses <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver2/#endpoints" target="_blank">Selenium/WebDriver</a> APIs and incorporates test-runners such as <code translate="no">pytest</code>, <code translate="no">pynose</code>, and <code translate="no">behave</code> to provide organized structure, test discovery, test execution, test state (<i>eg. passed, failed, or skipped</i>), and command-line options for changing default settings (<i>eg. browser selection</i>). With raw Selenium, you would need to set up your own options-parser for configuring tests from the command-line.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase's driver manager gives you more control over automatic driver downloads. (Use <code translate="no">--driver-version=VER</code> with your <code translate="no">pytest</code> run command to specify the version.) By default, SeleniumBase will download a driver version that matches your major browser version if not set.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase automatically detects between CSS Selectors and XPath, which means you don't need to specify the type of selector in your commands (<i>but optionally you could</i>).</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase methods often perform multiple actions in a single method call. For example, <code translate="no">self.type(selector, text)</code> does the following:<br />1. Waits for the element to be visible.<br />2. Waits for the element to be interactive.<br />3. Clears the text field.<br />4. Types in the new text.<br />5. Presses Enter/Submit if the text ends in <code translate="no">"\n"</code>.<br />With raw Selenium, those actions require multiple method calls.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase uses default timeout values when not set:<br />
✅ <code translate="no">self.click("button")</code><br />
With raw Selenium, methods would fail instantly (<i>by default</i>) if an element needed more time to load:<br />
❌ <code translate="no">self.driver.find_element(by="css selector", value="button").click()</code><br />
(Reliable code is better than unreliable code.)</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase lets you change the explicit timeout values of methods:<br />
✅ <code translate="no">self.click("button", timeout=10)</code><br />
With raw Selenium, that requires more code:<br />
❌ <code translate="no">WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable("css selector", "button")).click()</code><br />
(Simple code is better than complex code.)</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase gives you clean error output when a test fails. With raw Selenium, error messages can get very messy.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase gives you the option to generate a dashboard and reports for tests. It also saves screenshots from failing tests to the <code translate="no">./latest_logs/</code> folder. Raw <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" translate="no" target="_blank">Selenium</a> does not have these options out-of-the-box.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase includes desktop GUI apps for running tests, such as <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/commander.md" translate="no">SeleniumBase Commander</a> for <code translate="no">pytest</code> and <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/behave_bdd/ReadMe.md" translate="no">SeleniumBase Behave GUI</a> for <code translate="no">behave</code>.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase has its own <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/recorder_mode.md">Recorder / Test Generator</a> for creating tests from manual browser actions.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase comes with <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/case_plans.md">test case management software, ("CasePlans")</a>, for organizing tests and step descriptions.</p>

<p>💡 SeleniumBase includes tools for <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/chart_maker/ReadMe.md">building data apps, ("ChartMaker")</a>, which can generate JavaScript from Python.</p>

<a id="fun_facts"></a>
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Fun Facts / Learn More:</h2>

<p>✅ SeleniumBase automatically handles common <a href="https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/" target="_blank">WebDriver</a> actions such as launching web browsers before tests, saving screenshots during failures, and closing web browsers after tests.</p>

<p>✅ SeleniumBase lets you customize tests via <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/customizing_test_runs.md">command-line options</a>.</p>

<p>✅ SeleniumBase uses simple syntax for commands. Example:</p>

```python
self.type("input", "dogs\n")  # (The "\n" presses ENTER)
```

Most SeleniumBase scripts can be run with <code translate="no">pytest</code>, <code translate="no">pynose</code>, or pure <code translate="no">python</code>. Not all test runners can run all test formats. For example, tests that use the ``sb`` pytest fixture can only be run with ``pytest``. (See <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/help_docs/syntax_formats.md">Syntax Formats</a>) There's also a <a href="https://behave.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gherkin.html#features" target="_blank">Gherkin</a> test format that runs with <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/behave_bdd/ReadMe.md">behave</a>.

```bash
pytest coffee_cart_tests.py --rs
pytest test_sb_fixture.py --demo
pytest test_suite.py --rs --html=report.html --dashboard

pynose basic_test.py --mobile
pynose test_suite.py --headless --report --show-report

python raw_sb.py
python raw_test_scripts.py

behave realworld.feature
behave calculator.feature -D rs -D dashboard
```

<p>✅ <code translate="no">pytest</code> includes automatic test discovery. If you don't specify a specific file or folder to run, <code translate="no">pytest</code> will automatically search through all subdirectories for tests to run based on the following criteria:</p>

* Python files that start with ``test_`` or end with ``_test.py``.
* Python methods that start with ``test_``.

With a SeleniumBase [pytest.ini](https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/pytest.ini) file present, you can modify default discovery settings. The Python class name can be anything because ``seleniumbase.BaseCase`` inherits ``unittest.TestCase`` to trigger autodiscovery.

<p>✅ You can do a pre-flight check to see which tests would get discovered by <code translate="no">pytest</code> before the actual run:</p>

```bash
pytest --co -q
```

<p>✅ You can be more specific when calling <code translate="no">pytest</code> or <code translate="no">pynose</code> on a file:</p>

```bash
pytest [FILE_NAME.py]::[CLASS_NAME]::[METHOD_NAME]

pynose [FILE_NAME.py]:[CLASS_NAME].[METHOD_NAME]
```

<p>✅ No More Flaky Tests! SeleniumBase methods automatically wait for page elements to finish loading before interacting with them (<i>up to a timeout limit</i>). This means <b>you no longer need random <span><code translate="no">time.sleep()</code></span> statements</b> in your scripts.</p>
<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Flaky%20Tests%3F-%20NO%21-11BBDD.svg" alt="NO MORE FLAKY TESTS!" />

✅ SeleniumBase supports all major browsers and operating systems:
<p><b>Browsers:</b> Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.</p>
<p><b>Systems:</b> Linux/Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows.</p>

✅ SeleniumBase works on all popular CI/CD platforms:

<p>✅ SeleniumBase includes an automated/manual hybrid solution called <b><a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/blob/master/examples/master_qa/ReadMe.md">MasterQA</a></b> to speed up manual testing with automation while manual testers handle validation.</p>

<p>✅ SeleniumBase supports <a href="https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/tree/master/examples/offline_examples">running tests while offline</a> (<i>assuming webdrivers have previously been downloaded when online</i>).</p>

<a id="demo_mode_and_debugging"></a>
<h2><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/img/logo7.png" title="SeleniumBase" width="32" /> Demo Mode / Debugging:</h2>

🔵 <b>Demo Mode</b> helps you see what a test is doing. If a test is moving too fast for your eyes, run it in <b>Demo Mode</b> to pause the browser briefly between actions, highlight page elements being acted on, and display assertions:

```bash
pytest my_first_test.py --demo
```

🔵 ``time.sleep(seconds)`` can be used to make a test wait at a specific spot:

```python
import time; time.sleep(3)  # Do nothing for 3 seconds.
```

🔵 **Debug Mode** with Python's built-in **[pdb](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html)** library helps you debug tests:

```python
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
import pytest; pytest.set_trace()
breakpoint()  # Shortcut for "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()"
```

> (**``pdb``** commands: ``n``, ``c``, ``s``, ``u``, ``d`` => ``next``, ``continue``, ``step``, ``up``, ``down``)

🔵 To pause an active test that throws an exception or error, (*and keep the browser window open while **Debug Mode** begins in the console*), add **``--pdb``** as a ``pytest`` option:

```bash
pytest test_fail.py --pdb
```

🔵 To start tests in Debug Mode, add **``--trace``** as a ``pytest`` option:

```bash
pytest test_coffee_cart.py --trace
```

<a href="https://github.com/mdmintz/pdbp"><img src="https://seleniumbase.github.io/cdn/gif/coffee_pdbp.gif" alt="SeleniumBase test with the pdbp (Pdb+) debugger" title="SeleniumBase test with the pdbp (Pdb+) debugger" /></a>


<a id="command_line_options"></a>
<h2>🔵 Command-line Options:</h2>

<a id="pytest_options"></a>
✅ Here are some useful command-line options that come with <code translate="no">pytest</code>:

```bash
-v  # Verbose mode. Prints the full name of each test and shows more details.
-q  # Quiet mode. Print fewer details in the console output when running tests.
-x  # Stop running the tests after the first failure is reached.
--html=report.html  # Creates a detailed pytest-html report after tests finish.
--co | --collect-only  # Show what tests would get run. (Without running them)
--co -q  # (Both options together!) - Do a dry run with full test names shown.
-n=NUM  # Multithread the tests using that many threads. (Speed up test runs!)
-s  # See print statements. (Should be on by default with pytest.ini present.)
--junit-xml=report.xml  # Creates a junit-xml report after tests finish.
--pdb  # If a test fails, enter Post Mortem Debug Mode. (Don't use with CI!)
--trace  # Enter Debug Mode at the beginning of each test. (Don't use with CI!)
-m=MARKER  # Run tests with the specified pytest marker.
