Implementation of JSONWireProtocol in go

This project is not maintained and it is effectively abandoned, if you have interest in this code you should probably clone it.

webdriver

The package implements a WebDriver that communicate with a browser using the JSON Wire Protocol (See https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol). This is a pure go library and doesn't require a running Selenium driver. It currently supports Firefox (using the WebDriver extension) and Chrome (using the standalone server chromedriver). It should be fairly easy to add other browser that directly implement the wire protocol.

Version: 0.1
Tests are partial and have been run only on Linux (with firefox webdriver 2.32.0 and chromedriver 2.1).

Install:
$ go get github.com/fedesog/webdriver

Requires:

• chromedriver (for chrome):
  https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/
• webdriver.xpi (for firefox): that is founds in the selenium-server-standalone file
  https://code.google.com/p/selenium/

Example:

chromeDriver := webdriver.NewChromeDriver("/path/to/chromedriver")
err := chromeDriver.Start()
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
}
desired := webdriver.Capabilities{"Platform": "Linux"}
required := webdriver.Capabilities{}
session, err := chromeDriver.NewSession(desired, required)
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
}
err = session.Url("http://golang.org")
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
}
time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
session.Delete()
chromeDriver.Stop()

webdriver's Issues

Checking proper install

Hi, chromedriver noob here, tried to follow best practice & installed the chromedriver binary to /usr/bin/ & then use /usr/bin/chromedriver to create the new chromedriver instance within the go script. Getting this message returned, which I am having a difficult time figuring out: chromedriver start failed: fork/exec /usr/bin/chromedriver: permission denied - any suggestions? Thanks fedesog

how can i start chrome with a specific user profile ?

how can i start chrome with a specific user profile ?
i need this in my app

Firefox.xpi

How do I extract the firefox.xpi out of the selenium-server-standalone.jar file in order to use the FireFox driver? Also, what is the significance of the first argument of the NewFireFoxDriver() function?

headless options

hi, sorry i am new to golang, can someone teach me how i can enable --headless here?

any waitForJs function to wait some javascript code returns true

Is there any function that returns only after some js code return true.

func waitForRedButton(session *webdriver.Session){
     session.waitForJs(`$('#redButton').css('color')=='red'`)
     // next code should be executed only after `#redButton` becomes red
}

Can't set cookies

Getting the following error from webdriver.Session.SetCookie() unknown error: name of cookie is missing or invalid:"undefined"

Using the following code:

for _, cookie := range session.Web.Jar.Cookies(url) {
            log.Print(cookie.Name)
            log.Print(webSession.SetCookie(webdriver.Cookie{
                Name:cookie.Name,
                Value:cookie.Value,
                Path:cookie.Path,
                Domain:cookie.Domain,
                Secure:cookie.Secure,
                Expiry:int(cookie.Expires.Unix()),
            }))
        }

Logging from cookie gives valid data. Going to have to use selenium for now :/.

Have the ability to set the URL of the webdriver

Within my setup I have an existing chromedriver instance running as a daemon. So i would like to just be able to specify my own url to be used rather then having to call chromedriver.Start() and .Stop()

Detect when the page is loaded

There is any way to detect when the page is loaded?

Support (new WebDriverWait()).until(EXPECTED_CONDITION) syntax

See described here:
http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp

The selenium lib in Java, python, ruby, etc. all support it, and it seems quite easy to implement.
For example see the python implementation:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/py/selenium/webdriver/support/wait.py

Thanks!
