Selenium::Webdriver

Selenium Webdriver bindings for the Crystal programming language.

WARNING: this implements the now obsolete JsonWireProtocol the W3C Webdriver spec. Your selenium and browser mileages may not be supported until the new protocol is implemented.

Latest known working combination is Selenium 2.48.2 and Firefox 34. A combination known to NOT WORK is Selenium 3.5.3, Firefox 55 and the now required Geckodriver 0.18.0.

Usage

Only the Remote driver is available, so you need to download the release Selenium Standalone Server then start it (adjust the version):

$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar

You may now start a session, which will launch a browser, and start interacting with it:

require "selenium/webdriver"

capabilities = {
  browserName: "firefox",
  platform: "ANY"
}
driver = Selenium::Webdriver.new
session = Selenium::Session.new(driver, capabilities)

session.url = "http://crystal-lang.org/api"
pp session.url # => "http://crystal-lang.org/api"

input = session.find_element(:css, "input[type=search]")
input.send_keys("Client")
sleep 1

types_list = session.find_element(:id, "types-list")
types = types_list.find_elements(:css, "li:not([class~='hide'])")
pp count = types.size # => 5

session.stop
