WebDriverManager is an open-source Java library that carries out the management (i.e., download, setup, and maintenance) of the drivers required by Selenium WebDriver (e.g., chromedriver, geckodriver, msedgedriver, etc.) in a fully automated manner. In addition, WebDriverManager provides other relevant features, such as the capability to discover browsers installed in the local system, building WebDriver objects (such as ChromeDriver, FirefoxDriver, EdgeDriver, etc.), and running browsers in Docker containers seamlessly. The primary use of WebDriverManager is the automation of driver management. For using this feature, you need to select a given manager in the WebDriverManager API (e.g., chromedriver() for Chrome) and invoke the method setup(). The following example shows the skeleton of a test case using JUnit 5, Selenium WebDriver, and WebDriverManager.
Features
- The primary use of WebDriverManager is the automation of driver management
- You can use the method create() to manage automatically the driver and instantiate the WebDriver object in a single line
- Ability to create browsers in Docker containers out of the box
- WebDriverManager is part of OpenCollective, an online funding platform for open and transparent communities
- WebDriverManager is an open-source Java library that carries out the management
- WebDriverManager pulls the image from Docker Hub, starts the container, and instantiates the WebDriver object to use it
