Selenium WebDriver The biggest change in Selenium recently has been the inclusion of the WebDriver API. Driving a browser natively as a user would either locally or on a remote machine using the Selenium Server it marks a leap forward in terms of browser automation. Selenium WebDriver fits in the same role as RC did, and has incorporated the original 1.x bindings. It refers to both the language bindings and the implementations of the individual browser controlling code. This is commonly referred to as just 'WebDriver' or sometimes as Selenium 2. Selenium 1.0 + WebDriver = Selenium 2.0.

WebDriver is designed in a simpler and more concise programming interface along with addressing some limitations in the Selenium-RC API. WebDriver is a compact Object Oriented API when compared to Selenium1.0. It drives the browser much more effectively and overcomes the limitations of Selenium 1.x which affected our functional test coverage, like the file upload or download, pop-ups and dialogs barrier. WebDriver overcomes the limitation of Selenium RC's WebDriver is the name of the key interface against which tests should be written in Java, the implementing classes one should use are listed as below:, For More information on Selenium WebDriver, please see.
Developed in collaboration with the Chromium team, is a standalone server which implements WebDriver's. The ChromeDriver consists of three separate pieces. There is the browser itself ('chrome'), the language bindings provided by the Selenium project ('the driver') and an executable downloaded from the Chromium project which acts as a bridge between 'chrome' and the 'driver'.

This executable is called 'chromedriver', but we'll try and refer to it as the 'server' in this page to reduce confusion. Requirements The server expects you to have Chrome installed in the default location for each system: OS Expected Location of Chrome Linux /usr/bin/google-chrome 1 Mac /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Windows XP%HOMEPATH% Local Settings Application Data Google Chrome Application chrome.exe Windows Vista C: Users%USERNAME% AppData Local Google Chrome Application chrome.exe 1 For Linux systems, the ChromeDriver expects /usr/bin/google-chrome to be a symlink to the actual Chrome binary. See also the section on. Quick installation. Mac users with Homebrew installed: brew tap homebrew/cask && brew cask install chromedriver. Debian based Linux distros: sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver.
Windows users with Chocolatey installed: choco install chromedriver Getting Started Read Running ChromeDriver as a standalone process Since the ChromeDriver implements the wire protocol, it is fully compatible with any RemoteWebDriver client.
