WebdriverIO =========== > Next-gen browser and mobile automation test framework for Node.js This package provides an easy-to-manage API and a lot of syntactical sugar on top of the WebDriver specification. You can use WebdriverIO as a standalone package or via a test runner using [`@wdio/cli`](https://webdriver.io/docs/clioptions). WebdriverIO allows you to run tests locally using the WebDriver or Chrome DevTools protocol as well as remote user agents using cloud providers like [Sauce Labs](https://saucelabs.com/). ## Installation You can install WebdriverIO via NPM: ```sh npm install webdriverio ``` ## Usage WebdriverIO by default uses Puppeteer to automate a browser like Chrome, Firefox or Chromium Edge. So if you have Chrome installed, the following script should start a browser for you and get the title of the page: ```js import { remote } from 'webdriverio' const browser = await remote({ capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome' } }) await browser.navigateTo('https://www.google.com/ncr') const searchInput = await browser.$('#lst-ib') await searchInput.setValue('WebdriverIO') const searchBtn = await browser.$('input[value="Google Search"]') await searchBtn.click() console.log(await browser.getTitle()) // outputs "WebdriverIO - Google Search" await browser.deleteSession() ``` See the raw [protocol example](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webdriver#example) using the `webdriver` package to get a glance at the differences. For more information on [options](https://webdriver.io/docs/options#webdriver-options), [multiremote usage](https://webdriver.io/docs/multiremote) or integration into [cloud services](https://webdriver.io/docs/cloudservices) please check out the [docs](https://webdriver.io/docs/gettingstarted). --- Package Sponsors:
