It controls Chrome out of process through DevTools. ArchitectureĬhromeDriver is shipped separately from Chrome. For more detailed instructions see the user site. You also need to have Android SDK's Android Debug Bridge (adb) server running. To use ChromeDriver with Chrome on Android pass the Android package name in the chromeOptions.androidPackage capability when creating the driver. If Chrome is not found there, it will use the system installed Chrome. Kill ()īy default, ChromeDriver will look in its own directory for Chrome to use. Server ( './././out/Default/chromedriver' ) > driver = chromedriver. $ export PYTHONPATH = $PWD : $PWD / server : $PWD / client $ cd ~/ chromium / src / chrome / test / chromedriver The following code uses our own testing API, not the commonly used Python binding provided by Selenium. You may need to adjust the paths if you used different locations. It assumes that you downloaded Chromium repository at ~/chromium/src, and you used out/Default as the build location.

Note that if your build target OS is Android (i.e., you have target_os = 'android' in your args.gn file), you will need to use the following command to build ChromeDriver targeting the host system: autoninja -C out/Default clang_圆4/chromedriverįor testing purposes, ChromeDriver can be used interactively with python. Once built, ChromeDriver can be used with various third-party libraries that support WebDriver protocol, including language bindings provided by Selenium. This will create an executable binary in the build folder named chromedriver. Once you have set up the build environment, build ChromeDriver by building the chromedriver target, e.g., autoninja -C out/Default chromedriver To build ChromeDriver, please first follow the instructions to download and build Chromium. Getting StartedĬhromeDriver source code is located in the Chromium source repository, and shares the same build tools as Chromium.

If you are looking for information on how to use ChromeDriver, please see the ChromeDriver user site.ĬhromeDriver is an implementation of the WebDriver standard, which allows users to automate testing of their website across browsers. This file contains high-level info about how ChromeDriver works and how to contribute.
