new feature: probe OS to determine available drivers #6

Open lukeis opened 8 years ago

lukeis commented 8 years ago

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 6

I'd like to be able to determine which browsers are on a system and
therefore which drivers I should present as options to a user.

For Chrome, I could subclass ChromeBinary, call getChromeFile(), and see if
it's null.  I'd like something more uniform across drivers.

It's worth thinking about making the launch process of browsers more consistent (IIRC

Selenium-RC does this quite well), which could give rise to a more consistent way of

detecting browsers too.

The actual detection would seem to me more of a support class than core functionality.

Does the firefox driver work on Solaris Sparc ? I have downloaded selenium-2.0a5.

It looks like the webdriver.xpi  does not have a Solaris Sparc subdirectory.

Is one supposed to rebuild on Solaris the sources which are under firefox\src\cpp\webdriver-firefox
?

What would be the easiest way today to make selenium tests under Solaris ?

I have Recorded From Selenium IDE and generated Script. While running the Script it
stops where a css design occurs. How to come over this issue please suggest?

Just FYI, I have an api which does a quick check before attempting to compile our code
and run the tests for availability of browser just by doing a 
d = (return webdriver.Firefox())
if d:
  d.close()

Or do you not want to actually start anything at that point in time?

In my use case, I didn't want to start anything. I had an automation tool that had a
Swing UI. I wanted the user to be able to pick which driver/browser to use to run a
script.
