A journaling proxy object over the Facebook's WebDriver

, _(*1)

Summary

A journaling proxy to the Facebook's WebDriver. Wraps a WebDriver instance, and complements the original method calls with taking screen-shots, and capturing the browser log messages. As the result, a journal of the executed browser session is created: an HTML document with embedded screen-shots, DOM query records, console messages, etc., _(*2)

Why?

We have an automatic headless screen-scraping tool implemented with Selenium + PhantomJS (no idea why PhantomJS by itself wasn't enough). Sometimes it screws up: ticket order fails, wrong kind of tickets gets selected, or a child name gets confused with an adult name. This tool is summoned to ease the debugging of such failures., _(*3)

Installation

$ composer require ikr/php-webdriver-journal

API

$driver = \RemoteWebDriver::create(
    $seleniumHubUrl,
    \DesiredCapabilities::phantomjs()
);

$wrappedDriver = new \WebDriverJournal\WebDriverProxy(
    $driver,

    new \WebDriverJournal\Probe(
        $driver,

        new \WebDriverJournal\Journal(
            new \WebDriverJournal\DirectoryFilesWriter(
                '/tmp/web-driver-journals',
                $browserSessionIdOfYourChoice
            )
        )
    )
);

$wrappedDriver->manage()->window()->setSize(new \WebDriverDimension(1024, 1024));
$wrappedDriver->manage()->timeouts()->implicitlyWait(8);

$wrappedDriver->get('https://ikr.su/');
$wrappedDriver->findElement(\WebDriverBy::id('btn-next'))->click();
// ...
$wrappedDriver->quit();
