# Using Selenium and WebDriver
From [ChromeDriver - WebDriver for Chrome][chrome-driver]:
> WebDriver is an open source tool for automated testing of web apps across many
> browsers. It provides capabilities for navigating to web pages, user input,
> JavaScript execution, and more. ChromeDriver is a standalone server which
> implements WebDriver's wire protocol for Chromium. It is being developed by
> members of the Chromium and WebDriver teams.
In order to use `chromedriver` with Electron you have to tell it where to
find Electron and make it think Electron is the Chrome browser.
## Setting up with WebDriverJs
[WebDriverJs](https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/WebDriverJs) provides
a Node package for testing with web driver, we will use it as an example.
### 1. Start ChromeDriver
First you need to download the `chromedriver` binary, and run it:
```bash
$ ./chromedriver
Starting ChromeDriver (v2.10.291558) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
```
Remember the port number `9515`, which will be used later
### 2. Install WebDriverJS
```bash
$ npm install selenium-webdriver
```
### 3. Connect to ChromeDriver
The usage of `selenium-webdriver` with Electron is basically the same with
upstream, except that you have to manually specify how to connect chrome driver
and where to find Electron's binary:
```javascript
const webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
// The "9515" is the port opened by chrome driver.
.usingServer('http://localhost:9515')
.withCapabilities({
chromeOptions: {
// Here is the path to your Electron binary.
binary: '/Path-to-Your-App.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron',
}
})
.forBrowser('electron')
.build();
driver.get('http://www.google.com');
driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');
driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('btnG')).click();
driver.wait(function() {
return driver.getTitle().then(function(title) {
return title === 'webdriver - Google Search';
});
}, 1000);
driver.quit();
```
## Setting up with WebdriverIO
[WebdriverIO](http://webdriver.io/) provides a Node package for testing with web
driver.
### 1. Start ChromeDriver
First you need to download the `chromedriver` binary, and run it:
```bash
$ chromedriver --url-base=wd/hub --port=9515
Starting ChromeDriver (v2.10.291558) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
```
Remember the port number `9515`, which will be used later
### 2. Install WebdriverIO
```bash
$ npm install webdriverio
```
### 3. Connect to chrome driver
```javascript
const webdriverio = require('webdriverio');
var options = {
host: "localhost", // Use localhost as chrome driver server
port: 9515, // "9515" is the port opened by chrome driver.
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
binary: '/Path-to-Your-App/electron', // Path to your Electron binary.
args: [/* cli arguments */] // Optional, perhaps 'app=' + /path/to/your/app/
}
}
};
var client = webdriverio.remote(options);
client
.init()
.url('http://google.com')
.setValue('#q', 'webdriverio')
.click('#btnG')
.getTitle().then(function(title) {
console.log('Title was: ' + title);
})
.end();
```
## Workflow
To test your application without rebuilding Electron, simply
[place](https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/application-distribution.md)
your app source into Electron's resource directory.
Alternatively, pass an argument to run with your electron binary that points to
your app's folder. This eliminates the need to copy-paste your app into
Electron's resource directory.
