Class Configuration


  • public class Configuration
    extends java.lang.Object
    Configuration settings for Selenide default browser
    This class is designed so that every setting can be set either via system property or programmatically.
    Please note that all fields are static, meaning that every change will immediately reflect in all threads (if you run tests in parallel).

    These system properties can be additonally used having effect on every new created browser in test. For example as -D= in command-line

    chromeoptions.args - Sets the arguments for chrome options, parameters are comma separated If comma is a part of the value, use double quotes around the argument Non-official list of parameters can be found at https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ Example: --no-sandbox,--disable-3d-apis,"--user-agent=Firefox 45, Mozilla"

    chromeoptions.prefs - Sets the preferences for chrome options, which are comma separated keyX=valueX preferences. If comma is a part of the value, use double quotes around the preference List of preferences can be found at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/chrome/common/pref_names.cc Example: homepage=http://google.com,"intl.allowed_languages=en,ru,es"

      • pageLoadStrategy

        public static java.lang.String pageLoadStrategy
        Should webdriver wait until page is completely loaded. Possible values: "none", "normal" and "eager".
        Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.pageLoadStrategy=eager". Default value: "normal".
        - `normal`: return after the load event fires on the new page (it's default in Selenium webdriver); - `eager`: return after DOMContentLoaded fires; - `none`: return immediately
        In some cases `eager` can bring performance boosts for the slow tests. Though, we left default value `normal` because we afraid to break users' existing tests.

      • clickViaJs

        public static boolean clickViaJs
        ATTENTION! Automatic WebDriver waiting after click isn't working in case of using this feature. Use clicking via JavaScript instead common element clicking. This solution may be helpful for testing in Internet Explorer. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.clickViaJs=true".
        Default value: false
      • screenshots

        Default value: true
      • savePageSource

        public static boolean savePageSource
        Defines if Selenide saves page source on failing tests. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.savePageSource=false".
        Default value: true
      • reportsFolder

        Folder to store screenshots to. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.reportsFolder=test-result/reports".
        Default value: "build/reports/tests" (this is default for Gradle projects)

        Optional: URL of CI server where reports are published to. In case of Jenkins, it is "BUILD_URL/artifact" by default.
        Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.reportsUrl=http://jenkins-host/reports".
        If it's given, names of screenshots are printed as "http://ci.mycompany.com/job/my-job/446/artifact/build/reports/tests/my_test.png" - it's useful to analyze test failures in CI server.
      • fastSetValue

        public static boolean fastSetValue
        If set to true, sets value by javascript instead of using Selenium built-in "sendKey" function (that is quite slow because it sends every character separately).
        Tested on Codeborne projects - works well, speed up ~30%. Some people reported 150% speedup (because sending characters one-by-one was especially slow via network to Selenium Grid on cloud).
        https://github.com/codeborne/selenide/issues/135 Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.fastSetValue=true".
        Default value: false
      • versatileSetValue

        public static boolean versatileSetValue
        If set to true, 'setValue' and 'val' methods of SelenideElement can work as 'selectOptionByValue', 'selectRadio' depending on the real control type, defined by element's tag.
        Will decrease performance of setValue, make it slower, but will also make tests implementation more "business oriented". With this property being set to true, tests may no longer be dependent on actual control implementation in html and be more abstract.
        https://github.com/codeborne/selenide/issues/508 Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.versatileSetValue=true".
        Default value: false
      • selectorMode

        public static SelectorMode selectorMode
        Choose how Selenide should retrieve web elements: using default CSS or Sizzle (CSS3)
      • assertionMode

        public static AssertionMode assertionMode
        Assertion mode - STRICT or SOFT Asserts Default value: STRICT
        See Also:
        AssertionMode
      • fileDownload

        public static FileDownloadMode fileDownload
        Defines if files are downloaded via direct HTTP or vie selenide embedded proxy server Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.fileDownload=PROXY"
        Default: HTTPGET
      • proxyEnabled

        public static boolean proxyEnabled
        If Selenide should run browser through its own proxy server. It allows some additional features which are not possible with plain Selenium. But it's not enabled by default because sometimes it would not work (more exactly, if tests and browser and executed on different machines, and "test machine" is not accessible from "browser machine"). If it's not your case, I recommend to enable proxy. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.proxyEnabled=true"
        Default: false
      • proxyHost

        public static java.lang.String proxyHost
        Host of Selenide proxy server. Used only if proxyEnabled == true. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-DproxyHost=127.0.0.1"
        Default: empty (meaning that Selenide will detect current machine's ip/hostname automatically)
        See Also:
        ClientUtil.getConnectableAddress()
      • proxyPort

        public static int proxyPort
        Port of Selenide proxy server. Used only if proxyEnabled == true. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.proxyPort=8888"
        Default: 0 (meaning that Selenide will choose a random free port on current machine)
      • driverManagerEnabled

        public static boolean driverManagerEnabled
        Controls Selenide and WebDriverManager integration. When integration is enabled you don't need to download and setup any browser driver executables. See https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager for WebDriverManager configuration details. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.driverManagerEnabled=false"
        Default: true
      • headless

        public static boolean headless
        Enables the ability to run the browser in headless mode. Works only for Chrome(59+) and Firefox(56+). Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.headless=true"
        Default: false
      • browserBinary

        public static java.lang.String browserBinary
        Sets the path to browser executable. Works only for Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Can be configured either programmatically or by system property "-Dselenide.browserBinary=/path/to/binary"
