Connection to remote webdriver #218

OStrekalovsky · 2019-08-09T13:04:24Z

I can't find information or example how to connect to remote webdriver.
It seems that this library always tries to execute webdriver binary on the local system.
But if i want to make tests in docker (for example with selenoid) it should just send requests to remote machine without calling to local executable.

Could you add an example of such use case in documentation?

We would also find this useful. Although maybe what's needed is an interface to a selenium java webdriver https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java, and perhaps that is callable directly.

Usage of the org.openqa.selenium.remote RemoteWebDriver is important because it has a capability to upload file which is not located on the same machine where the browser starts (for example in the case of usage of selenoid) - LocalFileDetector.
I was able to patch the library so that it did not try to start the local webdriver process, but when trying to upload a file in the tests, which is located on the machine where the tests are running, but not accessible to the machine where the browser is running, I get an error that the driver cannot access the file. It is understandable, because it is on another machine.
Look at https://github.com/komcrad/webdriver/blob/master/src/webdriver/core.clj for usage of the RemoteWebDriver

@OStrekalovsky You're able to connect to a remote driver with ease. Please take a look at the connect-driver function. I'll update README with an example later.

Your example with org.openqa.selenium.remote RemoteWebDriver would be very useful, because the remote driver needs to be properly initializated (i need a capability to specify full URL to remote driver with non empty root path, for example, and initializated LocalFileDetector). IMHO, doing this bypassing boot-driver function can cause problems and inconsitency in driver configuration.

@igrishaev To say you can connect with ease is a bit of an overstatement. Have used a lot of selenium in other libraries (jruby java, python, clj-webdriver), but I haven't found a way in half a day of trying how to use connect-driver to connect to a Selenium hub in this one. That example would help a lot.

An example would be greatly appreciated. When I attempt to use connect-driver I get the following error:

boot.user=> (connect-driver driver {:capabilities {}})

I also tried connecting to the selenium hub, but to no avail:

@OStrekalovsky

Example:

(connect-driver driver {:capabilities {:chromeOptions {:args ["--no-sandbox"]}}})

Thanks Alex, it would be nice to add this into Readme.

igrishaev · 2020-07-22T06:41:54Z

@OStrekalovsky now there is an example in readme file, you're welcome to check it out.
