Interface WebDriverProvider

public interface WebDriverProvider

Interface for using custom WebDriver in your tests

To customize WebDriver creation one can use any of the alternatives:

• Call method WebDriverRunner.setWebDriver(WebDriver) explicitly.
• Extend WebDriver implementation, override public XxxDriver(Capabilities desiredCapabilities) constructor and pass this class name as browser system variable value.
• Implement this very interface and pass the implementation class name as browser system variable value.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver	createDriver(org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities) Create new WebDriver instance.

Method Detail

createDriver

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver createDriver(org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities)

Create new WebDriver instance. The instance will be bound to current thread, so there is no need to cache this instance in method implementation. Also don't cache the instance in static variable, as WebDriver instance is not thread-safe.

Parameters:

desiredCapabilities - set of desired capabilities as suggested by Selenide framework; method implementation is recommended to pass this variable to WebDriver, probably modifying it according to specific needs

Returns:

new WebDriver instance
