NAME

Selenium::Firefox - Use FirefoxDriver without a Selenium server

VERSION

version 0.26

SYNOPSIS

    my $driver = Selenium::Firefox->new;

DESCRIPTION

This class allows you to use the FirefoxDriver 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 Firefox executable in your $PATH. We'll try to start the binary connect to it, shutting it down at the end of the test.

If the Firefox application is not found in the expected places, 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::Firefox instance is using a separate Firefox 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 in the default installation paths for Firefox. If your Firefox is elsewhere, we probably won't be able to find it, so you may be well served by specifying it yourself.

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.
