Tested and working on Windows 10/11, Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) and macOS Monterey

NUnit3 auto configuration library available

Selenium.WebDriver.WebDriverFactoryNunitConfig provides additional code to pull the required configuration from *.runsettings files including the option to override with local configuration files.

This can be used to completely separate WebDriver configuration from your test code.

Designed for Dependency Injection

ServiceCollectionFactory.cs includes static methods that provide a configured Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection for use in your project although you may prefer to use the code as inspiration for your own implementation / module.

e.g. NUnit3 example

private IWebDriverFactory webDriverFactory; [OneTimeSetUp] public void Setup() { IServiceCollection serviceCollection = ServiceCollectionFactory.GetDefaultServiceCollection(); IServiceProvider provider = serviceCollection.BuildServiceProvider(); webDriverFactory = provider.GetRequiredService<IWebDriverFactory>(); }

Fluent Browser configuration including window size

WebDriverConfigurationBuilder.cs provides a fluent interface to generate an IWebDriverConfiguration.cs defining the characteristics of the WebDriver instance you desire.

e.g.

IWebDriverConfiguration configuration = WebDriverConfigurationBuilder.Start() .WithBrowser(Browser.Firefox) .RunHeadless() .RunRemotelyOn(new Uri("http://localhost:4444")) .WithPlatformType(PlatformType.Mac) .WithLanguageCulture(new CultureInfo("es-Es")) .WithWindowSize(WindowSize.Fhd) .Build();

WebDriver launching using the WebDriverFactory

IWebDriver driver = webDriverFactory.GetWebDriver(configuration);

Optional WebDriver instance management

To generate and reuse one or more WebDriver instances of a single configuration use a WebDriverManager.cs

IWebDriverManager webDriverManager = new WebDriverManager(webDriverFactory, configuration) IWebDriver driver = webDriverManager.Get();

Repeated calls to webDriverManager.Get() will return the same singleton IWebDriver instance until it is closed by calling webDriverManager.Quit().

Limited logging support available using LibLog

Guidance on unsupported configurations

The library attempts to provide informative exceptions where the requested WebDriver does not support the requested options. As supported features do change, these are not guaranteed to remain correct.

Extensible

All services are defined as interfaces so you can provide alternative or additional implementations if needed.

• The Browser.cs Enum in particular has been populated with many potential additional options that you can provide your own implementations to support.
• The configurations also support custom window sizes if the pre-defined options are not enough.
