Yes, yet another Selenium Web Driver library has been brought to the table. This one, however, is slightly different.
- Easy to understand.
- Full test coverage by unit tests and integration tests.
- Excellent support; we use this in our main project so if you find an issue - it'll likely impact us!
- Idiomatic, structured code with no gimmicks.
- Simple errors that describe what has happened and why.
As with all Go libraries, go-selenium is easy to install. Simply run the below command:
go get github.com/itchio/go-selenium
and then import the library in your project:
import "github.com/itchio/go-selenium"
Prior to using this library you need to ensure that you have a Selenium instance running (standalone or grid is fine). If you don't know how to do this, there is a small section called 'Getting Selenium running' below.
Please see the examples/getting-started/main.go file.
Further examples, including tests of HackerNews (c), are available within the examples directory.
All documentation is available on the godoc.org website: https://godoc.org/github.com/itchio/go-selenium.
