NAME
Selenium::Edge - Use EdgeDriver without a Selenium server
VERSION
version 1.33
SYNOPSIS
my $driver = Selenium::Edge->new;
# when you're done
$driver->shutdown_binary;DESCRIPTION
This class allows you to use the EdgeDriver without needing the JRE or a selenium server running. When you refrain from passing the remote_server_addr and port arguments, we will search for the edgedriver executable binary in your $PATH. We'll try to start the binary connect to it, shutting it down at the end of the test.
If the MicrosoftWebDriver binary is not found, we'll fall back to the default Selenium::Remote::Driver behavior of assuming defaults of 127.0.0.1:4444 after waiting a few seconds.
If you specify a remote server address, or a port, we'll assume you know what you're doing and take no additional behavior.
If you're curious whether your Selenium::Edge instance is using a separate MicrosoftWebDriver binary, or through the selenium server, you can check the binary_mode attr after instantiation.
ATTRIBUTES
binary
Optional: specify the path to your binary. If you don't specify anything, we'll try to find it on our own via "which" in File::Which.
binary_port
Optional: specify the port that we should bind to. If you don't specify anything, we'll default to the driver's default port. Since there's no a priori guarantee that this will be an open port, this is _not_ necessarily the port that we end up using - if the port here is already bound, we'll search above it until we find an open one.
See "port" in Selenium::CanStartBinary for more details, and "port" in Selenium::Remote::Driver after instantiation to see what the actual port turned out to be.
custom_args
Optional: specify any additional command line arguments you'd like invoked during the binary startup. See "custom_args" in Selenium::CanStartBinary for more information.
startup_timeout
Optional: specify how long to wait for the binary to start itself and listen on its port. The default duration is arbitrarily 10 seconds. It accepts an integer number of seconds to wait: the following will wait up to 20 seconds:
Selenium::Edge->new( startup_timeout => 20 );See "startup_timeout" in Selenium::CanStartBinary for more information.
fixed_ports
Optional: Throw instead of searching for additional ports; see "fixed_ports" in Selenium::CanStartBinary for more info.
METHODS
shutdown_binary
Call this method instead of "quit" in Selenium::Remote::Driver to ensure that the binary executable is also closed, instead of simply closing the browser itself. If the browser is still around, it will call quit for you. After that, it will try to shutdown the browser binary by making a GET to /shutdown and on Windows, it will attempt to do a taskkill on the binary CMD window.
$self->shutdown_binary;It doesn't take any arguments, and it doesn't return anything.
We do our best to call this when the $driver option goes out of scope, but if that happens during global destruction, there's nothing we can do.
