This library is compatible with Selenium server version 2.x, 3.x and 4.x. The library supports [JsonWireProtocol](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol) and also implements **experimental support** of [W3C WebDriver](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html). The W3C WebDriver support is not yet full-featured, however it should allow to control Firefox via Geckodriver and new versions of Chrome and Chromedriver with just a slight limitations. The concepts of this library are very similar to the "official" Java, .NET, Python and Ruby bindings from the [Selenium project](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/). Looking for API documentation of php-webdriver? See [https://facebook.github.io/php-webdriver/](https://facebook.github.io/php-webdriver/latest/) Any complaints, questions, or ideas? Post them in the user group . Installation ------------ [](#installation) Installation is possible using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). If you don't already use Composer, you can download the `composer.phar` binary: ``` curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php ``` Then install the library: ``` php composer.phar require facebook/webdriver ``` Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) ### Start Server [](#start-server) The required server is the `selenium-server-standalone-#.jar` file provided here: Download and run the server by **replacing #** with the current server version. Keep in mind **you must have Java 8+ installed to run this command**. ``` java -jar selenium-server-standalone-#.jar ``` ### Create a Browser Session [](#create-a-browser-session) When creating a browser session, be sure to pass the url of your running server. ``` // This would be the url of the host running the server-standalone.jar $host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'; // this is the default url and port where Selenium server starts ``` ##### Launch Chrome [](#launch-chrome) Install latest Chrome and [Chromedriver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads). The `chromedriver` binary must be placed in system `PATH` directory, otherwise you must provide the path when starting Selenium server (eg. `java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="/path/to/chromedriver" -jar selenium-server-standalone-#.jar`). ``` $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, DesiredCapabilities::chrome()); ``` ##### Launch Firefox [](#launch-firefox) Install latest Firefox and [Geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases). The `geckodriver` binary must be placed in system `PATH` directory, otherwise you must provide the path when starting Selenium server (eg. `java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver="/path/to/geckodriver" -jar selenium-server-standalone-#.jar`). ``` $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, DesiredCapabilities::firefox()); ``` ### Customize Desired Capabilities [](#customize-desired-capabilities) ``` $desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities::firefox(); $desiredCapabilities->setCapability('acceptSslCerts', false); $driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, $desiredCapabilities); ``` - See for more details. **NOTE:** Above snippets are not intended to be a working example by simply copy-pasting. See [example.php](example.php) for working example. Changelog --------- [](#changelog) For latest changes see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) file. More information ---------------- [](#more-information) Some how-tos are provided right here in [our GitHub wiki](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/wiki). You may also want to check out the Selenium [docs](http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/) and [wiki](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki). Testing framework integration ----------------------------- [](#testing-framework-integration) To take advantage of automatized testing you may want to integrate php-webdriver to your testing framework. There are some projects already providing this: - [Steward](https://github.com/lmc-eu/steward) integrates php-webdriver directly to [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/), and provides parallelization - [Codeception](http://codeception.com) testing framework provides BDD-layer on top of php-webdriver in its [WebDriver module](http://codeception.com/docs/modules/WebDriver) - You can also check out this [blogpost](http://codeception.com/11-12-2013/working-with-phpunit-and-selenium-webdriver.html) + [demo project](https://github.com/DavertMik/php-webdriver-demo), describing simple [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) integration Support ------- [](#support) We have a great community willing to help you! - **Via our Facebook Group** - If you have questions or are an active contributor consider joining our [facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/phpwebdriver/) and contribute to communal discussion and support - **Via StackOverflow** - You can also [ask a question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?tags=php+selenium-webdriver) or find many already answered question on StackOverflow - **Via GitHub** - Another option if you have a question (or bug report) is to [submit it here](https://github.com/facebook/php-webdriver/issues/new) as a new issue Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) We love to have your help to make php-webdriver better. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information about contributing and developing php-webdriver. ### Health Score 48 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity57 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community38 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 54.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
