Experiments with Selenium & Puppeteer working together

seleneer (dont judge me, naming is hard)

Experiments combining Selenium & Puppeter

Why?

The idea for this project is just a POC on how to extend Selenium capabilities for Chrome injecting extra functionalities with Puppeteer Core.

How?

When launching Chrome with Selenium we're going to add an argument to expose dev tools extended debugging for our selenium session. This is simply achieved by adding the chromeOptions capability:

chromeOptions: {
  args: ['--remote-debugging-port=9222']
}

With this port exposed, we're going to connect to the dev tools using puppeteer-core and prepare the Chrome session before start sending selenium commands

let browser = await puppeteer.connect({browserURL:"http://127.0.0.1:9222"});
...

Examples:

• Enabling/Disabling Animations
• Generate HAR file to view network request during a test

Development

npm install
npm run start-selenium
npm run test-animations-disabled

Requirements

• Java 8+
• Node 8+
