remoteDr: Create a remote driver

In seleniumPipes: R Client Implementing the W3C WebDriver Specification

Description

remoteDr: Create a remote Driver object

Usage

remoteDr(remoteServerAddr = "http://localhost", port = 4444L,
  browserName = "firefox", version = "", platform = "ANY",
  javascript = TRUE, nativeEvents = TRUE, extraCapabilities = list(),
  path = "wd/hub", newSession = TRUE)

Arguments

remoteServerAddr	Object of class "character", giving the ip of the remote server. Defaults to localhost
port	Object of class "integer", the port of the remote server on which to connect
browserName	Object of class "character". The name of the browser being used; choices include chrome|firefox|internet explorer|iphone|htmlunit. Defaults to firefox.
version	Object of class "character". The browser version, or the empty string if unknown.
platform	Object of class "character". A key specifying which platform the browser is running on. This value should be one of WINDOWS|XP|VISTA|MAC|LINUX|UNIX. When requesting a new session, the client may specify "ANY" to indicate any available platform may be used.
javascript	Object of class "logical". Whether the session supports executing user supplied JavaScript in the context of the current page.
nativeEvents	Object of class "logical". Whether the session supports native events. n WebDriver advanced user interactions are provided by either simulating the Javascript events directly (i.e. synthetic events) or by letting the browser generate the Javascript events (i.e. native events). Native events simulate the user interactions better.
extraCapabilities	A list containing any os/platform/driver specific arguments.
path	Path on the server side to issue webdriver calls to. Normally use the default value.
newSession	Logical value whether to start an instance of the browser. If TRUE a browser will be opened using newSession

Value

An object of class "rDriver" is returned. This is a remote Driver object that is used in many of the remote driver specific functions. Many functions that take a remote driver object as input also return the remote driver object. This allows chaining of commands. See the examples for chaining in action.

Examples

## Not run: 
# assume a server is available at the default location.
remDr <- remoteDr()
remDR %>% go("http://www.google.com") %>%
 findElement("name", "q") %>%
 elementSendKeys("R project", key = "enter")
# close our browser
remDr %>% deleteSession

## End(Not run)
