selenium-binaries

Downloads Selenium related binaries for your OS

How do I use this?

1. Add it as a dependency in your package.json file.
2. npm install
3. var chromedriverPath = require('selenium-binaries').chromedriver;
4. process.env.CHROME_DRIVER_PATH = chromedriverPath; Do this as required.

The module exposes the following paths:

• chromedriver
• geckodriver
• iedriver
• seleniumserver

Where do binaries get installed?

If you're running as root on *nix based systems, binaries go under /lib/selenium-binaries. Otherwise, binaries go under $HOME/.selenium-binaries. Installing multiple versions of the same binary is handled appropriately across your projects.

Set the SELENIUM_BINARIES_HOME environment variable to use a specific location where to install binaries.

Why not put binaries in the project?

Because they exceed 36MB in size. Save the hard drive!

Binaries

Here's the deal...

selenium-server-standalone.jar

You need to install this on any OS, so this module takes care of that. To manually specify which version gets installed, set the SELENIUM_BINARIES_SERVER_STANDALONE_VERSION environment variable (default: 3.141.59).

ChromeDriver

You need to install this on any OS, so this module takes care of that. To manually specify which version gets installed, set the SELENIUM_BINARIES_CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION environment variable (default: 89.0.4389.23).

GeckoDriver

You need to install this on any OS, so this module takes care of that. To manually specify which version gets installed, set the SELENIUM_BINARIES_GECKODRIVER_VERSION environment variable (default: 0.29.0).

IEDriver

You only need this on windows, so this module takes care of that.

In addition, you have to set registry values that deal with IE security settings. This module takes care of that as well. To manually specify which version gets installed, set the SELENIUM_BINARIES_IEDRIVER_VERSION environment variable (default: 3.150.1).

Can I force the usage of 32 bits binaries instead of 64 bits when available?

Sure, set the SELENIUM_BINARIES_FORCE_32BITS environment variable to 1 or true.
