Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

webdrvr

Build Status

An NPM wrapper for Selenium Webdriver, a browser automation framework including Chromedriver, IEDriver (when applicable), Ghostdriver (which is part of PhantomJS) and IOSDriver.

Thanks to https://github.com/Obvious/phantomjs for the process how to download / handle varying binaries using NPM.

Building and installing

npm install webdrvr

What this is really doing is just grabbing a particular "blessed" (by this module) version of Selenium, Chromedriver, IEDriver and PhantomJS. As new versions are released and vetted, this module will be updated accordingly.

Running

bin/webdrvr [selenium arguments] // see "bin/webdrvr -h" for possible arguments

Running via node (using child_process)

var childProcess = require('child_process');
// passing information about current environment
var webdrvr = require('webdrvr');
var childArgs = webdrvr.args.concat([
  '-jar', webdrvr.selenium.path
  '-p', '44524'
  // further selenium arguments
]);

childProcess.execFile('java', childArgs, function(err, stdout, stderr) {
  // server got started
});

Running via selenium-webdriver

var remote = require('selenium-webdriver/remote');
var webdrvr = require('webdrvr');

// further options: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/browse/javascript/node/selenium-webdriver/remote/index.js#30
var server = new remote.SeleniumServer(webdrvr.selenium.path, {
  args: webdrvr.args
});
server.start().then(function(url) {
  console.log('Selenium standalone server started at ' + url);
});
// stopping the server
// server.stop();

Versioning

The NPM package version tracks the version of Selenium that will be installed, with an additional build number that is used for revisions of the installer.

As such 2.33.0-0 and 2.33.0-1 will both install Selenium 2.33.0 but the latter has newer changes to the installer.
