Modulewebdriver-0.15.0.0Haskell2010
Once upon a time, the main browser automation tool was Selenium. Users of
this package had to start a Selenium session themselves, making sure to
configure it with a browser-specific driver program like chromedriver or
geckodriver, and provide a hostname/port. Then, this package would connect to
Selenium and use its wire protocol to control browsers.
Nowadays, there is an official W3C spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver1) specifying the protocol, and a number of implementations. Selenium still exists, but Chromedriver and Geckodriver can both serve as standalone WebDriver servers. This library now helps you start up a driver in one of these supported configurations:
Selenium.jar with one or more supported sub-drivers (chromedriver,
geckodriver). This is similar to the traditional picture.
Chromedriver standalone.
Geckodriver standalone.
You can pick the configuration you want by passing a DriverConfig to the
startSession function. The WebDriver implementations have a few differences
between them, which this library tries to smooth over. For example, a single
Geckodriver instance can't start multiple Firefox sessions (see
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/1946). So, this library will spin
up a separate geckodriver process for every session.
For an example of using this package by itself, see Test.WebDriver.WD. For a full test framework integrated with this package, see sandwich-webdriver.
The WebDriverContext is an opaque type used by this library for bookkeeping purposes. It tracks all the processes we spin up and all the sessions we create.
Currently, we will create at most 1 Selenium or Chromedriver process per WebDriverContext, and N Geckodriver processes, where N is the number of Firefox sessions you request.
Create a new WebDriverContext.
Tear down all sessions and processes associated with a WebDriverContext.
Start a WebDriver session, with a given WebDriverContext and DriverConfig.
You need to provide the WebDriver Capabilities for the session. You should make sure the browser-specific fields of your Capabilities are filled in correctly to match the given DriverConfig. For example, if you're using DriverConfigChromedriver, you should make sure to fill in _capabilitiesGoogChromeOptions and in particular the _chromeOptionsBinary field.
Close the given WebDriver session. This sends the DELETE
/session/:sessionId command to the WebDriver API, and then shuts down the
process if necessary.
Configuration for how to launch a given driver.
DriverConfigSeleniumJarFor launching a WebDriver via "java -jar selenium.jar". Selenium can launch other drivers on your behalf. You should pass these as driverConfigSubDrivers.

Lower-level version of startSession. This one allows you to construct a driver instance manually and pass it in. Does not manage process lifecycles.
Close the given WebDriver session. This is a lower-level version of
closeSession, which manages the driver lifecycle for you. This version will
only issue the DELETE /session/:sessionId command to the driver, but will
not shut down driver processes.
mkManualDriver Create a manual Driver to use with startSession'/closeSession'.
Default capabilities.
Empty ChromeOptions.
Empty FirefoxOptions.
A structure describing the capabilities of a session. This record serves dual roles.
It's used to specify the desired capabilities for a session before it's created. In this usage, fields that are set to Nothing indicate that we have no preference for that capability.
When received from the server , it's used to describe the actual capabilities given to us by the WebDriver server. Here a value of Nothing indicates that the server doesn't support the capability. Thus, for Maybe Bool fields, both Nothing and Just False indicate a lack of support for the desired capability.
Capabilities_capabilitiesBrowserName :: Maybe StringIdentifies the user agent.
_capabilitiesBrowserVersion :: Maybe StringIdentifies the version of the user agent.
_capabilitiesPlatformName :: Maybe PlatformIdentifies the operating system of the endpoint node.
_capabilitiesAcceptInsecureCerts :: Maybe BoolIndicates whether untrusted and self-signed TLS certificates are implicitly trusted on navigation for the duration of the session.
_capabilitiesPageLoadStrategy :: Maybe StringDefines the current session’s page load strategy.
_capabilitiesProxy :: Maybe ProxyDefines the current session’s proxy configuration.
_capabilitiesSetWindowRect :: Maybe BoolIndicates whether the remote end supports all of the commands in Resizing and Positioning Windows.
_capabilitiesTimeouts :: Maybe TimeoutsDescribes the timeouts imposed on certain session operations.
_capabilitiesUnhandledPromptBehavior :: Maybe UserPromptHandlerDescribes the current session’s user prompt handler.
_capabilitiesGoogChromeOptions :: Maybe ChromeOptionsChrome options
_capabilitiesMozFirefoxOptions :: Maybe FirefoxOptionsFirefox options
