Load classes from buildr urls #6677

Closed shs96c closed 4 years ago

shs96c commented 5 years ago

The new grid is pluggable, but it would be really helpful to be able to say something like "load the sessionmap from this jar", give a Buildr url (or maven coords in some other format), and have a classloader be created that does the hard work for us.

As discussed on slack thread. This is already implemented via using --ext flag. The next comment explains about using --ext and coursier for whoever stumbles upon this issue.

If someone stumbles upon this issue, here is how you can include alternate implementations using --ext flag and coursier.

For example, lets assume you want to use the redisBackedSessionMap jar to use the redis based implementation of session map.

you would run java -jar <path/to/selenium.jar> --ext <path to redis session map jar> sessions This would add the RedisBackedSessionMap implementation in the class path and things would work.

This is applicable for any alternate implementation that you would like to include (Eg: For a Node)

Other than this, you can also use, coursier to use third party dependencies and include them in classpath.
