v3.14.0
=======
* Refactored .NET capability handling. This version introduces a large and
intrusive refactor of the .NET bindings' capability handling. It introduces
a new class, `RemoteSessionSettings`, for use with creating remote sessions
via `RemoteWebDriver`. Additionally, the `DesiredCapabilities` class is now
marked as deprecated and will generate a compile warning on its use.
Almost without exeception, users should not be using DesiredCapabilities in
.NET. The browser-specific options classes provide functionality for adding
any additional capabilities that would need to be sent to a remote end. One
possible exception is when using RemoteWebDriver to connect to a remote
server implementation, where the ToCapabilites method has been called,
but the user wants to add additional capabilities, even though they could
and should have been added before calling the method. In a future release,
calling ToCapabilities will result in a read-only capabilities object, but
recognizing that many users already have existing code that does this,
moving immediately to make the returned object read-only is premature. For
the moment, then, the SetCapabilty method is now marked as deprecated on
DesiredCapabilities. In the next version of the .NET bindings, the return
from ToCapabilities will be changed to return a read-only object.
The RemoteSessionSettings class is designed for use cases where the user
wants to create a remote session using RemoteWebDriver where all of the
nodes in the session creation support the W3C WebDriver Specification
dialect of the wire protocol. This class is designed to be used in
conjunction with the browser-specific driver options classes for matching
capabilities on the remote end.
For single-browser cases, it is still possible (though unnecessary) to
use a browser-specific driver options class (`ChromeOptions`,
`FirefoxOptions`, etc.) by calling the `ToCapabilities()` method, but as
previously mentioned, in the future, the capabilities returned will be
read-only, and will not be able to be added to. Users who feel the need
to modify the options class after converting to capabilities are encouraged
to add the additional capabilites to the options class before the conversion
by appropriate use of the `AddAdditionalCapability` method.
* Exposed additional extension points to better control HTTP communications
between the language bindings and the remote end implemention. For the
.NET implementation of HttpCommandExecutor, we now expose a Proxy property
for proxying requests between the .NET code and the remote end WebDriver
implementation. Note carefully that this is entirely separate from the
proxy used by the browser for monitoring communications between the browser
and the server hosting the page being automated.
Additionally, this change exposes the IsKeepAliveEnabled property to make
it easier to set whether or not the "keep alive" header is sent when
communicating between the language bindings and the remote end WebDriver
implementation.
Finally, for local use, the DriverServiceCommandExecutor now exposes a
property to allow the user to set tho newly-exposed properties by allowing
access to the internal HttpCommandExecutor of the driver service.
* Added a workaround for Safari Tech Preview to send the proper browser name
to the driver.
* Added type-safe properties for Safari capabilities in .NET SafariOptions.
* Marked .NET hardware manipulation interfaces deprecated. The `Mouse`
`Keyboard`, and `TouchScreen` properties were never intended for direct
use in users' code. These interfaces, and the properties that reference
them, are now being marked as deprecated. The correct way to simulate
advanced user input is to use the `Actions` or `ActionBuilder` classes.
* Removed long-deprecated local PhantomJS support from .NET, as well as
other deprecated code.
v3.13.1
=======
* Updated to fully remove use of internal CreateElement method in favor of
a factory object.
v3.13.0
=======
* (on behalf of Jake Durand) Replaced Chrome with Firefox in .NET
documentation comments.
* (on behalf of Michael Keeley) Modified to allow extension of
RemoteWebElement for caching properties. This approach is not one with
which the Selenium development team is entirely comfortable, and downstream
projects are strongly encouraged to prefer composition over inheritance.
* Reinstated ICommandExecutor descending from IDisposable. Now that the
Appium project has implemented the methods required by an implementation
of IDisposable, this change can be made upstream in the Selenium project.
As this change has been rolled back once before to accommodate downstream
projects, it will be incumbent upon them to update their libraries now, as
it will not be rolled back again. In the case of Appium, this is merely
awaiting a binary release; other downstream projects will be responsible
for managing their own code changes and release schedule.
* Removed legacy WebDriver extension when using Geckodriver. When a
FirefoxProfile object is created in the .NET bindings, the legacy WebDriver
extension is included in that profile by default. This includes the case
where the user is using Geckodriver. When using Geckodriver, the legacy
extension is doing nothing more than taking up space. This commit adds an
internal method to detect when a FirefoxProfile object is being used with
geckodriver, and removes the extension from the list of extensions in the
profile before the profile is serialized to disk, and subsequently to a
base64-encoded string for transmission over the wire to geckodriver. Fixes
issue #6043.
* Updated EdgeOptions to include type-safe properties for Edge-specific
capabilities.
* Added property to force use of legacy protocol for Safari. Starting with
Safari Technology Preview 58, and continuing with the driver released with
Safari 12, the driver executable uses the W3C Specification dialect of the
prototcol by default. It includes a command-line switch, however, to force
the use of the legacy open-source project dialect of the protocol. This
commit adds a property to the SafariDriverService object allowing users to
set that command-line switch. Note that if this property (false by default)
is set to true for a version of the driver that does not support the switch,
it will cause errors. If set to false, the .NET bindings do not modify the
safaridriver command line at all.
* Fixed mouse movement in .NET. The previous commit to the mouse movement for
.NET changed the optional element ID from `null` to the empty string. This
is incorrect. If no element is specified in the move (for non-spec-compliant
driver), omit the ID altogether.
* Fixed null pointer exception for .NET on Safari with mouse movements.
* (on behalf of Clay Martin) Fixed quit command for default state of Edge
driver.
v3.12.1
=======
* Updated .NET escaping of CSS selectors for the find-by-ID and find-by-name
cases. This is especially important for drivers that adhere to the W3C
WebDriver Specification.
* The .NET bindings no longer swallow exceptions for navigation to malformed
URLs.
* Added inadvertently omitted FirefoxDriver constructor for .NET.
To maintain consistency with other drivers, we are adding a constructor
that takes a FirefoxDriverService and a FirefoxOptions. All other drivers
have a "service and options" constructor, making Firefox the outlier.
* Updated use of command-line args for protocol selection for Edge in .NET.
The UseSpecCompliantProtocol property of the EdgeDriverService object now
is a nullable boolean instead of just a boolean. If the property is
assigned a value (true or false), it will add the appropriate command-line
argument ("--w3c" or "--jwp", respectively) to the executable command
line. Users using versions of MicrosoftWebDriver.exe that do not support
those command-line arguments should leave the property unset (as a null
value).
v3.12.0
=======
* Updated unhandled JavaScript errors to throw WebDriverException in .NET.
* Added option for .NET EdgeDriverService to use W3C protocol dialect. The
Microsoft Edge driver specifies the use of the W3C WebDriver Specification
dialect of the JSON wire protocol via a command-line switch. This commit
exposes that behavior in the form of a property on the EdgeDriverService
object. Note that this command-line switch is only valid for versions of
the driver executable for Windows 10 versions later than the 2018 Fall
Creators' Update version (this is the code-named "Redstone 4", or "RS4"
builds). Attempting to use this property with versions of
MicrosoftWebDriver.exe before RS4 will result in errors, as the driver
executable will not start properly with an unknown command-line switch.
This commit also makes use of the fact that in RS4 and beyond, the driver
executable is a feature that is installed in the OS, not a separate
download, so the test projects have been updated to reflect this.
* Added default value to .NET IE element scroll behavior option.
* Changed 'unhandled error' status code to throw WebDriverException in .NET.
Previously, this error code would throw an InvalidOperationException.
* (on behalf of Christopher Wood) Fixed ExecuteScript and Actions to handle
IWrapsElement appropriately. Using EventFiringWebDriver, element targets
and args throw exceptions when calling ExecuteScript or Actions methods.
This is fixed by casting as IWrapsElement and checking for wrapped elements
first. Fixes issue #5810.
* Refactored creation of RemoteWebElement to use a factory. Previously, the
RemoteWebDriver class had a protected method called CreateElement that took
the element ID as a parameter and returned a RemoteWebElement object. That
approach is not flexible enough for some downstream projects that implement
their own subclasses of RemoteWebDriver and RemoteWebElement. To rectify
that, this commit replaces the calling of CreateElement with the use of a
RemoteWebElementFactory class that handles the creation of
RemoteWebElements. Note carefully that the CreateElement method still
exists, so as to prevent compile-time errors for downstream consumers,
that method is no longer called. If you are a user who has overridden that
method as part of your project, you'll need to create an implementation of
RemoteWebElementFactory that creates your custom subclass of
RemoteWebElement.
* (on behalf of Jacob Kiesel) Fixed obscure window switching bug. This change
fixes searching by window name if the current window handle becomes invalid
and the name being switched to does not exist.
* Fixed .NET HttpCommandExecutor event for RemoteWebDriver. This change moves
the firing of the event raised before sending a remote HTTP request to
before the setting of the request body. This allows the request settings to
be properly set without throwing an exeception. This commit also renames
the event and event args object to `SendingReomteHttpRequest` and
`SendingRemoteHttpRequestEventArgs`, respectively. The previous event and
event args are marked as deprecated for removal in a future release, and
the previously named event is now a no-op, and will never be fired, even
if a handler is attached.
v3.11.2
=======
* Reverted change of ICommandExecutor interface to extend IDisposable. This
change will reappear at some point. Downstream projects will need to
implement a `public void Dispose()` method on any classes that implement
ICommandExecutor to prevent breaking when this interface change is added
again. Fixes issue #5768.
v3.11.1
=======
* Added option to tell ChromeDriver to use the W3C WebDriver protocol dialect
instead of the legacy open-source dialect.
* (on behalf of Phillip Haydon) Updated doc strings for FirefoxDriver to
no longer refer to ChromeDriver
* Corrected remote URL for IWebElement.GetScreenshot() method.
* Made ICommandExecutor interface extend IDisposable.
* Fixed serialization of proxy autoconfig URLs. Fixes issue #5050.
* Reverted .NET bindings to send spec-compliant new session for all browsers.
Now that the Java remote server will correctly handle spec-compliant new
session payload, even for browsers that are not yet spec-compliant, we can
revert to the original behavior of sending both "capabilities" and
"desiredCapabilities" properties with new session requests. Reverts commit
4ce57f6.
* Modified to guard against assembly location being empty. When looking for
supporting files on disk, the bindings look in the "current working
directory" where the assembly is written. However, if the assembly has been
embedded in an executable as a resource, and extracted into memory at
runtime, the location will be blank. This commit prevents the exception
being thrown, at the expense of possibly looking in the wrong directory.
* Added locking for lazy-load of static dictionary. When running in parallel,
there is a chance that multiple threads could attempt to populate a static
dictionary used for translating error codes. This commit adds locking around
the initialization of the static dictionary. Note that we are not using
"double-check" locking, but the locking we use should be good enough. Fixes
issue #3166.
* (On behalf of John Chen) Fixed ChromeDriver NetworkConditions setter. The
JSON object generated by the .NET version of ChromeDriver NetworkConditions
setter had incorrect format, and was rejected by ChromeDriver.
* Added sending a user-agent string for .NET remote HTTP requests to a remote
end (Java standalone server, IEDriverServer.exe, chromedriver.exe,
geckodriver.exe, etc.). Addresses #5657 for .NET.
* Fixed .NET ChromeDriver network conditions commands URLs. Fixes issue #5693.
* Added BeforeRemoteHttpRequest event to .NET RemoteWebDriver. This commit
adds the ability for advanced users of the .NET bindings RemoteWebDriver
class to modify the HTTP command sent from the .NET WebDriver code to the
remote WebDriver server. Note carefully that this **DOES NOT** modify the
HTTP request between the browser and the web server, and is not a mechanism
for getting access to that HTTP request. Usage of this new event would look
something like this:
public void StartDriver()
{
HttpCommandExecutor executor = new HttpCommandExecutor(
new Url("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60));
executor.BeforeRemoteHttpRequest += BeforeRemoteHttpRequestHandler;
ICapabilities capabilities = new ChromeOptions().ToCapabilities();
IWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(executor, capabilities);
}
public void BeforeRemoteHttpRequestHandler(
object sender, BeforeRemoteHttpRequestEventArgs e)
{
// Note: WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy is an IWebProxy implementation.
// This could be anything, from adding additional headers, to modifying
// the content of the request. Use with extreme caution.
e.Request.Proxy = WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy;
e.Request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip
}
* (On behalf of Samuel Bétrisey) Add support for Basic Access Authentication
in .NET RemoteWebDriver. The username and password of the Uri wasn't used
by the HttpWebRequest. Usage example:
new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://user:pass@example.com/wd/hub"),
DesiredCapabilities.Chrome());
* (On behalf of "granak") Null cookie value fix. Cookies with empty string
values would throw exceptions.
* Enabled reconstitution of .NET FirefoxOptions from raw capabilities. This
is a temporary measure until DesiredCapabilities is done away with for good.
Fixes issue #4855.
* Modified to write screenshots using the Save overload that takes a
System.IO.FileStream object. Rather than using the Image.Save overload that
takes a string containing the file name, we should use a FileStream. The
FileStream object handles validating the existence of the path to which one
is attempting to write, so this will avoid the cryptic GDI+ error that
occurs if the file already exists. Additionally, the SaveAsFile method now
does what it says on the tin, that the file will be overwritten if it
already exists. Fixes issue #4645.
* (On behalf of Sean Rand) Added overload argument to the
SelectElement.SelectByText method. The XML summary informs that the method
provides partial match ability on the options by Text. However this wasn't
fully implemented so pushed the ability via a boolean to perform such a
partial match on an options list. Fixes issue #3575.
* (On behalf of Sean Rand) Added test playlists for each .NET test project in
the repo. This is to help aid running of all tests in a specific project.
Originally, this was intended to simply add a playlist for the support tests
but adding playlists for all of the test projects is a better approach.
Fixes issue #3805.
* (On behalf of Arnon Axelrod) Added the new value of the element to the
ElementValueChanged and ElementValueChanging event args. This commit also
creates a new overload of OnElementChanging and OnElementChanged but also
keeps the original overloads to preserve backward compatibility.
Additionally, the original overloads are marked with the [Obsolete]
attribute to let users know they should migrate to the new overloads.
* Fixed proxy bypass address serialization for legacy .NET drivers. The W3C
WebDriver Specification states that the list of addresses to bypass in a
proxy configuration should be an array. The legacy OSS dialect of the
protocol specifies it must be a string. This commit fixes the serialization
for the non-spec-compliant case, serializing it as a semicolon-separated
list. Fixes issue #5645.
* Updating .NET to not propagate non-W3C compliant capability names. Fixes
issue #5646.
* Added new property for geckodriver --jsdebugger commmand line switch to
FirefoxDriverService object.
* (On behalf of Christopher Buttkus) Added LeftShift, LeftAlt, LeftControl,
Command, and Meta as KeyDown/Up events for .NET
* (On behalf of "vflame") Added ability to install Firefox addon using
manifest.json. Firefox addons/extensions built with WebExtensions API have a
manifest.json instead of install.rdf. When Selenium extract the addon/
extension id, it only looked for install.rdf. This fix adds extracting the
addon/extension id from the manifest.json in addition to install.rdf. Fixes
issue #4093.
* (On behalf of Yevgeniy Shunevych) Fixed AddEncodedExtension methods of
ChromeOptions and OperaOptions
* Updated .NET strong-named assembly build to correct package references.
Fixes issue #5511.
* Updated WebDriverBackedSelenium .csproj file to embed resources. This step
was omitted when the build process for the .NET bindings was migrated from
crazy-fun to Buck. Fixes issue #5528.
* Streamlined Actions class. The Actions class will now throw an exception
on instantiation if the IWebDriver instance passed into the constructor does
not also implement IActionExecutor. This will help folks who wrap the
standard WebDriver driver classes to be able to continue to work with the
Actions class.
v3.11.0
=======
* Added support for intercepted element clicks. This adds a new exception,
`ElementClickInterceptedException` to indicate when an element is obscured
by another element. This allows users to distinguish between different
causes of elements not being clickable.
* Marked .NET ExpectedConditions obsolete. Using the ExpectedConditions
class provides no benefit over directly using lambda functions (anonymous
methods) directly in one's code. Since the community appears to believe
that an "official" repository of wait conditions is desireable, the
existing code has been migrated to a new repository under a new organization
on GitHub (https://github.com/DotNetSeleniumTools/DotNetSeleniumExtras).
It is hoped that this will encourage a volunteer from the community to take
ownership of this code. Users should update their references and migrate
their code to use `SeleniumExtras.ExpectedConditions`. This implementation
will be removed from the .NET language bindings in a future release
* Marked .NET PageFactory obsolete. The .NET implementation of PageFactory
is deeply flawed. Additionally, using the PageFactory provides no benefit
over other methods of Page Object creation in .NET. This is true for code
verbosity as well, which is often the reason cited for wanting to use the
PageFactory in .NET. The existing code has been migrated to a new repository
under a new organization on GitHub
(https://github.com/DotNetSeleniumTools/DotNetSeleniumExtras). It is hoped
that this will encourage a volunteer from the community to take ownership
of this code. Users should update their references and migrate their code
to use `SeleniumExtras.PageFactory`. The implementation will be removed
* Updated .NET Actions class to change element offsets for W3C mouse move.
When the Actions class performs a mouse move that includes a reference to
an element and an x-y offset, the offsets are calculated differently
depending on whether the remote end adheres to the W3C WebDriver
Specification. In the W3C case, the offsets are calculated from the center
of the element. This differs from the legacy behavior, which calculates
offsets from the top-left corner of the element. This change uses the
language bindings to allow the user to optionally choose which origin to
use, and by default calculates all offsets from the upper-left, if not
specified. This normalizes the mouse move behavior across all types of
remote ends.
v3.10.0
=======
* Removed Proxy property from instance of HttpWebRequest in .NET. This
fixes the case for .NET Core when running RemoteWebDriver by avoiding
a platform-specific property of the ServicePoint object. This obviates
the need for creating a custom IWebProxy implementation simply for fixing
this issue, and prevents a bloat of the number of RemoteWebDriver
constructors for creating an instance of that proxy object. While there
may be a compelling use case for supporting an IWebProxy implementation
for use with WebDriver to proxy communication between the language bindings
and the driver, this use case is not it. Fixes issue #4770.
* (on behalf of dnknitro) Added no-cache header to HTTP GET command of
RemoteWebDriver. When Selenium RemoteWebDriver is connecting to Selenium
Server (e.g. SauceLabs) through HTTP proxy, same/repetitive HTTP commands
can be cached by the proxy. This leads to unexpected and unwanted behavior
that HTTP commands return cached and outdated data from the server (e.g.
screenshots). Fixes issue #5404.
* Removed support for timeline perf logging preference in .NET ChromeDriver.
According to chromedriver bug #2034
(https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=2034),
the enableTimeline performance logging preference is no longer accepted
by chromedriver.exe. The .NET language bindings will no longer send that
preference to the driver executable. Additionally, the peroperty setting
the preference has been deprecated, and will generate a compile-time
warning. The property will be remvoed in a future release. Fixes
issue #5481.
v3.9.1
======
* Updated build process and packaging to correctly distribute strongly-
named releases. Fixes issue #5254 (for real, this time). No functional
changes whatsoever.
v3.9.0
======
* Added commands to get and set network conditions for Chrome in .NET.
To get or set the network conditions, use the `NetworkConditions` property
of the ChromeDriver object. This property gets or sets a
ChromeNetworkConditions object which contains the proper values. Fixes
issue #5338.
* Readded CLSCompliant attribute to .NET assemblies. When converting from
the prior build system to using Buck and the dotnet build tools, the
assembly-level CLSCompliant attribute was removed. This commit restores
the CLSCompliant attribute to the assembly manifests. Fixes issue #5324.
* Removed check for leading hyphens in .NET FirefoxOptions AddArgument.
In prior releases of geckodriver, it was a requirement that all arguments
be preceeded by double hyphens ("--"). Geckodriver has now relaxed that
restriction, and the .NET bindings need to keep up with that change. This
commit removes the check for leading hyphens when calling AddArgument.
* Fixed strong-named assembly references. In the move to using the `dotnet`
build tools instead of calling the C# compiler directly, the creation of
strong-named assemblies was broken with incorrect references being created.
This commit fixes that problem. Fixes issue #5254.
* Exposed HostName property for .NET DriverService class. Previously, the
host name for a DriverService was hard-coded to be "localhost." This is
normally acceptable, as a DriverService is only intended to be used
locally, and most executables that are represented by a DriverService
(chromedriver, geckodriver, IEDriverServer.exe, etc.) do not even allow
connections from external machines for security reasons. However, there is
a legitimate use case (.NET Standard 2.0) where a local IP address
("127.0.0.1" or "::1") is preferrable to using the "localhost" moniker.
This HostName property allows the user to specify that IP address. Note
that the property defaults to "localhost," preserving previous behavior.
v3.8.0
======
* Updating .NET bindings setting of timeouts for spec-compliance. This
also removes some obsolete API entry points that have been marked as
deprecated for some months now. The properties of the ITimeouts object
should be used.
* Updated .NET Options classes to better support W3C Capabilities.
* Added .NET constructors to FirefoxDriver to align with other browser
drivers
v3.7.0
======
* Made .NET Interactions device classes public. Fixes issue #3989.
* Reversed the default for whether a generated capabilities payload
when creating a new session is a spec compliant payload. Fixes issue
#4758.
v3.6.0
======
* Removed internal use of deprecated construct in .NET bindings.
* Added no-format override to .NET Screenshot class for saving file,
which will save the image in a Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
format.
* Updating .NET bindings to not send incorrect W3C Firefox capabilities
Previously, RemoteWebDriver would send the same capabilities dictionary
using both the "desiredCapabilities" and "capabilities" properties when
requesting a new remote session. In the case of the language bindings
expressly requesting to use the legacy Firefox driver, the capabilities
dictionary will include properties that are invalid for the W3C-compliant
remote server. To resolve that issue, we will mask the explicit attempt by
setting a property that causes the .NET RemoteWebDriver to send a
legacy-only compatible new session request when explicitly requesting the
legacy driver. Fixes issue #4637.
* Added the output of .NET Standard 2.0 class libraries to the release
artifacts, which will allow the bindings to be used against .NET Core 2.0.
This addition marks the initial support of .NET Core in the Selenium .NET
language bindings. Use of the .NET bindings against .NET Core should be
considered experimental at this stage. The following issues are already
known, and should not be reported:
- Calls to localhost in .NET Core are slower than those in the full .NET
Framework. This is due to internal differences in the .NET libraries
themselves, and are not the fault of the bindings directly. See
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/24104 for more details.
- Attempting to save a screenshot to any graphics file format other than
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) will throw an exception. .NET Core does
not provide the image manipulation classes that the full .NET Framework
does, and there are no production-ready third-party libraries that
provide that functionality yet and also only rely on managed code. This
concern is over and above the difficulties with adding dependencies to
the language bindings.
- When using the bindings against .NET Core, there is no PageFactory
class available. This is not an oversight, nor is it a bug. The .NET
PageFactory implementation requires use of classes that are not
available in .NET Core. It is a non-trivial matter to add additional
dependencies to the .NET bindings, so simply replacing those classes
with a third-party library that is compatible with .NET Core is not a
perfectly obvious option.
- References to the .NET Standard 2.0 library versions provided in this
and future releases are only valid when using NuGet package references.
Simply copying the assembly and adding an assembly reference to the
.NET Core 2.0 project will not work. This is by design of the .NET
Core ecosystem, which is now entirely dependent on NuGet to propertly
resolve dependencies.
v3.5.2
======
* Changed .NET ChromeOptions to use "goog:chromeOptions" as property name.
This aligns with current chromedriver.exe expectations as well as with the
W3C WebDriver Specification. It also means that the .NET bindings will now
require 2.31 or later of chromedriver.exe.
* Guarding against null return value from FindElements. Fixes issue #4555
for .NET.
* Updating serialization of Proxy for W3C-compliant drivers in .NET. Fixes
issue #4574 for .NET.
* Added support for W3C 'invalid argument' error code.
* Added GetProperty method to IWebElement.
* Added support for new new window commands (Minimize and FullScreen).
* Updated .NET FirefoxOptions to not force specifying binary location. In
the Marionette/Geckodriver case, the service executable can locate the
Firefox executable on its own when looking in default installation
locations. There is no need for the language bindings to go spelunking
through the registry in that case any longer because the bindings do not
have to directly launch the Firefox executable.
* Committed initial support for .NET Core. This is only committed to the
source repository; it is not yet released in any consumable binary form.
This support will likely change significantly between now and when it is
officially released. Please do not rely on it yet.
v3.5.1
======
* Added ability to detect spec-compliant capabilities in .NET. This
release updates the .NET DesiredCapabilities class to allow the
language bindings to construct the correct type of payload for the new
session command before sending the command to the remote end. This will
remove the burden from intermediate nodes (like the Java standalone server
and grid) from incorrectly parsing a driver using the legacy protocol
dialect (Edge, Safari, Chrome) and throwing an error on session creation.
Fixes issue #4443.
* Deprecated the static methods on the DesiredCapabilities class's methods
for specific browsers in .NET. For over a year, the guidance for .NET
users has been to use a browser-specific options class (FirefoxOptions,
InternetExplorerOptions, etc.) to set specific capabilities for the driver
to be instaniated. To use the options classes with the Java standalone
remote server or grid, call the `ToCapabilities` method on the options
object.
* Removed deprecated screenshot methods. These have been deprecated
since 3.1.0.
* Removed IsJavaScriptEnabled property from DesiredCapabilities. Since
virtually all driver implementations and all browsers support JavaScript
and cannot run properly without it being enabled, this property is nearly
useless. Use SetCapability("javascriptEnabled", true) if you require this
functionality.
v3.5.0
======
* (on behalf of Matthew Lymer) Fixing the parsing of logging levels to match
the values in the LogLevel enum. Fixes issue #4121.
* Updated .NET DriverService to allow hard termination shutdown of
exectuable.s Some driver services (geckodriver, safaridriver) don't support
a shutdown HTTP end point. The base DriverSerivce class should allow for
that, and not attempt to use one if it's known the service doesn't provide
one.
v3.4.0
======
* Exposed new Interactions framework. This release introduces a new
Interactions framework using the ActionBuilder class for creating advanced
user interaction sequences in the .NET bindings. This framework is only
designed to be used with remote ends that understand the W3C WebDriver
Specification actions end point, and as such, there is no documentation
or guidance for its use at present. Most users will continue to use the
Actions class for now,bwhich works with both protocol dialects. Once most
remote ends use the W3C dialect of the wire protocol, these classes will
become more useful.
* Fixed IAlert.SendKeys to send a string instead of a character array when
communicating with remote ends that use the in the W3C Specification
dialect of the wire protocol.
* Now the "marionette" capability is only set for the case where the user
wants to use the legacy Firefox driver. Starting with Geckodriver 0.16,
this capability is not recognized as valid, since it violates the spec,
and will not create a session if it's specified.
* Updated InternetExplorerOptions to send IE-specific capabilities in a
property named "se:ieOptions". This is the correct method for passing
browser-specific capabilities according to the W3C WebDriver spec. This
should be transparent for most users, but beginning with 3.4.0.0 of the
IE driver, this is the preferred mechanism for passing IE-specific
capabilities.
* Added "acceptInsecureCerts" capability for use with remote ends that
adhere to the W3C WebDriver Specification. The default for the capability
is true.
* Updated FirefoxDriver(FirefoxOptions) constructor to allow the user to
specify `UseLegacyImplementation = true` in the FirefoxOptions passed
to the constructor and not be forced to have a copy of geckodriver
available. Fixes issue #3597.
* Updated bindings to properly use the W3C WebDriver Specification.
v3.3.0
======
* Fixed error return values from W3C spec-compliant remote ends
* Fixed pointer actions duration in .NET to be an integer
* Added ability to run .NET integration tests against Safari
Technology Preview release
* Fixed accounting for W3C spec-compliant response for new session
command that contains a 'value' property.
v3.2.0
======
* Removed .NET Selenium RC language binding implementation. As
announced previously, this release entirely removes the .NET
implementation of the Selenium RC technology stack. The RC API still
exists as part of WebDriverBackedSelenium, but is still marked as
deprecated.
* Removed ability to set vendor implementation for IE driver. This
property has been marked obsolete for awhile, but is now being removed.
v3.1.0
======
* Note that this will be the final release containing Selenium RC language
bindings for .NET. Users still relying on the RC API will be able to
continue to do so using WebDriverBackedSelenium, or by converting their
code to use WebDriver proper. Selenium RC has been deprecated for over
six years, and the .NET Selenium RC language bindings have not been
updated with a code change other than a version bump in nearly that long.
* Prepared Screenshot object for removal of direct dependency on
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat. The dependency still exists for now,
but is no longer exposed in the public API.
* Updated specification compliance for windows and timeouts APIs. The
language bindings now properly implement the local end of the W3C
WebDriver specification for getting and setting window size and position,
and for getting and setting timeouts. It also marks as obsolete the
methods for the ITimeouts interface in favor of properties, since the
specification supports getting as well as setting timeouts.
* Enabled execution of project's .NET tests from within Visual Studio. It
is now possible to execute .NET tests from within the Visual Studio IDE.
To enable this functionality, you must install the NUnit 3 Test Adapter
plug-in. To change the browser against which the tests are executed,
modify the dotnet/test/common/App.config file.
* Updated .NET upload tests to work no matter working directory
* Updated project to use NUnit 3.6.0
* Initial development of .NET implementation of W3C spec actions command.
* Refactored wire protocol serialization of IWebElements.
* Removing custom code for geckodriver since it now implements a status end
point.
v3.0.1
======
* Updated build process to include atoms resources in strong-named assemblies.
Fixes issue #3137.
v3.0.0
======
* Major release of the .NET bindings for Selenium. Selenium RC classes
and interfaces (DefaultSelenium and ISelenium) have officially been
marked with the Obsolete attribute. Please move to Selenium WebDriver
* Geckodriver is now the default mechanism for automating Firefox. This
is Mozilla's implementation of a driver for that browser, and is
required for automating Firefox versions 48 and above.
* The IE driver no longer actively supports IE 7 or 8. Only IE 9, 10, and
11 are actively supported.
* The legacy driver for Safari maintained by the Selenium project is no
longer supported. This release includes support for Apple's Safari
driver, for Safari 10, available on macOS 10.11 ("El Capitan") and 10.12
("Sierra").
* Updated to conform to the latest options schema for geckodriver. This
release expects geckodriver.exe v0.11.1 or later.
* Marked InternetExplorerDriverService.Implementation property as
deprecated. The Microsoft (vendor) implementation is no longer maintained
and will not be updated. As it never had feature parity with the open-
source implementation, the property is now unnecessary, and the feature
will be removed from IEDriverServer.exe in a future release.
v3.0.0-beta3
============
* Modified to use automation atoms for getAttribute and isDisplayed in .NET
for W3C remote ends
* Added ability to set additional command line arguments for geckodriver
v3.0.0-beta2
============
* Updated GetAttribute shim for GetAttribute method for W3C protocol remote
ends.
* Modified parameter name in SendKeys to alert for W3C protocol remote
ends.
v3.0.0-beta1
============
* The Mozilla-provided Marionette-based FirefoxDriver is now the default
implementation for automating Firefox. Additionally, this aligns the
FirefoxDriver class with other browser-specific implementations, using
a FirefoxOptions class for setting options for the browser session.
Constructors of FirefoxDriver directly referencing FirefoxProfile or
FirefoxBinary have been marked as deprecated, and will be removed in a
future release.
v2.53.0
=======
* This will be the final full release in the 2.x series. There may be
small point releases going forward, but future development will
concentrate on 3.0.
* (on behalf of arnonaxelrod) Added an overload of ExecuteJavaScript
extension method that doesn't accept a generic argument and doesn't
return a value.
* (on behalf of mohammadsavadkuhi) Corrected argument name in
exceptions thrown by DefaultWait<T>.
* Corrected trace categories for Chrome perf logging prefs in .NET.
* Added device metrics to Chrome options for mobile emulation.
* Removed .NET type-safe option for setting IE cookie capability. The
'ie.validateCookieDocumentType' has been obsolete since 2.47 of WebDriver.
This commit marks the 'ValidateCookieDocumentType' property of the
'InternetExplorerOptions' object as obsolete, and no longer sends that
capability to the driver. This property will be removed in a future
version of the .NET bindings.
v2.52.0
=======
* Updated Firefox driver to include ability to disable overlapping element
check. This includes a new constant for the name of the capability.
* Provided an implementation of the local-end logging API.
* Provided type-safe option to allow disabling of full-page screenshots when
using the IE driver.
* (on behalf of Glib Briia) Updated support library's SelectElement class to
better handle <select multiple='multiple'> elements.
v2.51.0
=======
* Updated Firefox driver which includes fixes for the clicking in overlapped
elements. In keeping with project support policy for Firefox, This driver
has been tested with Firefox 44 (current release), 43 (immediately prior
release), 38 (current ESR release), and 31 (immediately prior ESR release).
* Refactoring .NET driver Options classes to descend from common class. This
commit introduces a common base class for driver-specific type-safe Options
classes (e.g., ChromeOptions, InternetExplorerOptions, etc.). This will
help pave the way to eliminate needing to know the name or expected type
of arbitrary capabilities in a future release.
* Removed the incorrect ChromeOptions method introduced in 2.50.0.
* Added ability to add traceCategories to performance logging preferences in
ChromeOptions. Fixes issue #1591.
v2.50.1
=======
* Changed ChromeOptions to have correct EnableMobileEmulation API.
v2.50.0
=======
* Updated embedded Firefox driver with new click algorithm
* Added type-safe options .NET for recently added Chrome capabilities.
This includes adding type-safe capabilities for 'mobileEmulation',
'perfLoggingPrefs', and 'windowTypes' to ChromeOptions class.
* (on behalf Edward Ned Harvey) Updated ChromeDriverService to locate
Chrome driver executable in a cross-platform way.
* Removed deprecated PageFactory code.
* Updated implementations of EWebDriver.PageSource property and
IAlert.SendKeys method for spec-compliant browsers.
* Updated implementations for finding by ID, class name, and tag name
for consistency between languages and for compatibility with spec-
compliant drivers.
* Removed the redundant IllegalLocatorException.
v2.49.0
=======
* Updated .NET PageFactory to allow frame switching with located elements.
Previously, if you located a `<frame>` or `<iframe>` element using the
PageFactory attributes, you could not switch to it. This change allows one
to use `driver.SwitchTo().Frame(element)` with the element found via the
PageFactory.
* Added workaround for Windows 10 major version number encountered when
executing via NUnit 3.
* Issue #1316: (on behalf of Chris Block) Enhance check for value types to
exclude Nullable in extension methods. The System.Nullable type is a value
type that can be assigned the null value. This change checks for types
wrapped with Nullable and does not throw when they are encountered.
* Exposed session ID property on RemoteWebDriver. Users can now cast their
driver instance to IHasSessionId to access the SessionId property, which
returns a SessionId object. To use the SessionId object with external
tools, simply call the ToString() method on the instance. Note that
relying on the SessionId for anything is probably a Bad Thing, because it
introduces a leak in the abstraction of a driver. Please do not use this
property; its introduction is the Wrong Approach, but it's being exposed
at the insistence of a selection of users.
* Adding support for whitelisted-ips argument for Chrome and IE driver
executables.
v2.48.2
=======
* Release containing fix to Firefox driver bug when clearing input fields of
type number.
v2.48.1
=======
* Various updates in communicating with remote ends using the W3C dialect of
the JSON wire protocol.
* (on behalf of petruc) Added HTML5 functionality to .NET bindings. The .NET
bindings now include the ability to access appCache status, local and
session storage, and geolocation. Each feature has a role-based marker
interface (IHasApplicationCache, IHasWebStorage, or IHasLocationContext),
and the implementation has a boolean property to query if the driver
supports that feature. Attempting to use the feature for a driver which
does not support it will throw an exception.
* Issue #1120: Fixed deserialization of date-time data from remote ends.
* Issue #1186: Safari should only specify MAC as platform in default desired
capabilities.
v2.48.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox version 31 (immediately previous ESR).
Native event support has been discontinued for versions of Firefox later
than 33. Synthetic events tested on Firefox versions 31 (immediately
previous ESR), 38 (current ESR), and 40 (immediately previous release),
and 41 (current release).
* Refactored JSON deserialization for responses.
* Modified SwitchTo().Frame(string) to use client-side code instead of a
direct wire protocol call.
* Added support for the W3C Specification dialect of the JSON wire protocol
* Added initial support for Mozilla's Marionette implementation of the
Firefox driver.
v2.47.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox version 31 (immediately previous ESR).
Native event support has been discontinued for versions of Firefox later
than 33. Synthetic events tested on Firefox versions 31 (immediately
previous ESR), 38 (immediately previous release and current ESR), and 39
(current release).
* (provided by Microsoft) Added language bindings for Microsoft Edge browser.
* Added support for authentication dialogs in the .NET bindings.
* Replaced DotNetZip with ZipStorer library. Adds the ability to use the .NET
bindings with Firefox on Linux and OS X via Mono. The replacement library
uses the internal System.IO.Compression classes along with custom code for
reading and writing the central director structure of .zip files. The
resulting .zip files created may be slightly larger than those produced via
DotNetZip, but we will sacrifice that small size difference in exchange for
cross-platform usability.
* Fixing cookie parsing error in .NET bindings. The JSON response for cookie
expiration date is a number, not an integer. The .NET bindings were not
handling the fact that a floating point number could be included in the JSON
object as an expiration time.
* Added support to .NET bindings for HTTP-only cookies.
* Added ITakesScreenshot to .NET RemoteWebElement for spec compatibility Note
that no driver implements this at present, so attempting to use this within
any test will result in a NotImplementedException.
* Fixed dynamic assembly generation for .NET PageFactory for .NET 3.5.
v2.46.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox version 31 (immediately previous ESR).
Native event support has been discontinued for versions of Firefox later
than 33. Synthetic events tested on Firefox versions 31 (immediately
previous ESR), 37 (immediately previous release), and 38 (current release,
and current ESR).
* (on behalf of Darrin Cherry) Modified ExpectedConditions class to more
closely mimic the one provided by Java.
* Added ToString override to Platform class. Fixes issue #580.
* Removed Firefox profile cleaning step when launching Firefox. Firefox used
to require launching to clean up potential issues with the anonymous
temporary profile that we use with the driver. This is no longer the case.
* Added type safe support to InternetExplorerOptions for page load strategy.
* Added ability to get wrapped IWebElement from SelectElement. When using a
SelectElement wrapper class to manipulate <select> elements, the user
previously had to keep a separate reference to the IWebElement representing
the actual element. The SelectElement class now implements IWrapsElement,
exposing the WrappedElement property, which gives the user the ability to
access the underlying IWebElement. Fixes issue #350.
* (on behalf of clz.livio) Added additional PhantomJS command-line options.
Added the ProxyAuthorization property and SslCertificatesPath property to
the PhantomJSDriverSerivce class. These translate to the --proxy-auth and
--ssl-certificates-path command line options on PhantomJS respectively.
* (on behalf of clz.livio) Improved DriverService to check response on
startup. A driver using a driver service will now throw a WebDriverException
if it cannot start the driver service, or if the service executable returns
an invalid response. Note that the checks for the validation of the
repsonses is minimal, checking for the Content-Type header and that the
response code is a 200.
* (on behalf of Sergey Tikhomirov) Refactored PageFactory implementation,
including a number of changes to make it more extensible and more robust.
First, instead of the hand-rolled proxy classes that had been used
previously, this refactor introduces proxy objects based on
System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy, which allows for more
flexibility in the types of objects proxied.
Second, this refactor now allows users to provide their own implementation
engines for examining attributes of Page Object classes and determining
what course to take. To create a new implementation the user must provide
an implementation of the IPageObjectMemberDecorator interface, which
determines which attributes to examine fields and properties for, and how
to create the proxy objects assigned to the members.
Third, this refactor introduces a new IElementLocator interface to Page
Object implementations, and deprecates the IElementLocatorFactory
interface. The IElementLocator interface is substantially similar to the
now-deprecated IElementLocatorFactory, but requires implementations to
provide a property to retrieve the ISearchContext implementation used to
actually find elements. The implications of this change are that
IElementLocator implementations will need to keep a reference to the
IWebDriver or IWebElement they are using. Recommended practice is for this
context to be passed in via a the IElementLocator implementation's
constructor, and this technique is demonstrated in the source code to the
two implementations provided in the regular .NET language bindings
releases.
Finally, this commit also introduces a breaking change in
IElementLocatorFactory. Developers of classes that implement this
interface will now be required to implement the CreateLocator method,
which will return a valid IElementLocator implmentation. This is to
prepare for the removal of the IElementLocatorFactory interface and its
implmentations in a future release.
* Added FindsByAllAttribute to .NET PageFactory implementation. This allows
the user to specify that an element must match the criteria of all of the
FindsBy attributes a property or field is marked with in order to be found
by the PageFactory. Previously, a class member marked with multiple FindsBy
attributes would find an element matching any of the attributes' criteria.
Because of the nature of this change, you cannot use FindsBySequence and
FindsByAll on the same class member. Attempting to do so will result in an
exception when InitElements is called.
* (on behalf of Immanuel Hayden) Added support for ByAll, finding elements
matching all locators.
* (on behalf of Chris Block) Changed ExecuteJavaScript extension method for
converting result, so that it now validates that the ExecuteJavaScript
extension method will correctly detect if the script result is convertable
to the generic type.
* (on behalf of Yi Zeng) Added constructor overload which takes in single
DriverService parameter. This pattern was already implemented in
PhantomJSDriver, but not yet in ChromeDriver and InternetExplorerDriver.
* Added ability to add custom wire protocol commands in .NET bindings. This
allows projects that use a WebDriver-like JSON-over-HTTP wire protocol to
add additional end points for their use. It does this by exposing (and
renaming) a formerly internal method on the singleton CommandInfoRepository
class. To add additonal commands, one would call the TryAddCommand method,
which is now public. Fixes Google Code issue #8594.
* Added ability to handle W3C spec compliant element serialization.
* (on behalf of Eberhard Beilharz) Made PhantomJS driver more cross-platform
aware. On Linux the filesystem is case-sensitive and executables don't end
with ".exe". This change modifies the PhantomJSDriver to search for
"phantomjs" on Unix systems while keeping the filename "PhantomJS.exe" on
Windows. This allows to use the default constructor of the PhantomJSDriver
class on Linux. Previously using the default c'tor resulted in an error that
"PhantomJS.exe" can't be found.
v2.45.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox versions 31 (current ESR), and
24 (immediately previous ESR). Native event support has been discontinued
for versions of Firefox later than 33.
* Removed automatic installation of SafariDriver extention for .NET.
From this point forward, users are expected to manually install the
SafariDriver extension into their Safari installation in order to drive
the browser. This is due to Apple's changes in architecture for Safari
extensions.
* Added initial implementation of .NET bindings OperaDriver. The .NET
bindings will now support the Chromium-based Opera driver without
requiring the use of the Java remote WebDriver server. This driver will
work with Opera 26 and above, and requires the download of the Opera
driver executable. Code cleanup and refactoring will take place under a
separate commit. Note that there is still no support in the .NET bindings
for the Presto-based Opera without using the remote server, nor is there
likely to be.
* Added option to not delete anonymous Firefox profile in .NET. This change
adds an option to the .NET FirefoxProfile class so that the driver will
not delete the anonymous profile created by the driver. Since the driver
cannot and should not use an existing profile in situ because of the
multiple instance automation case, this change means that modifications
applied to the anonymous profile can be retained and used in future
anonymous profiles. The implication is that the user can now make
modifications to a profile, and retain those profile modifications (e.g.,
cookies) into other future profiles, simulating persistent changes over
multiple browser launches. Fixes issue #7374.
* Introduced type safe option in InternetExplorerOptions to set the
capability to disable check of mime type of the doucment when setting
cookies. When setting cookies, there is a check in the IE driver to
validate that the page in the browser is, in fact, an HTML page. Despite
the fact that omitting this check can cause unrecoverable crashes in the
driver, there is demand for a mechanism to disable this check for older,
legacy versions of Internet Explorer. Fixes issue #1227.
v2.44.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox versions 33 (current), 32 (immediately
previous release), 31 (current ESR), and 24 (immediately previous ESR).
* Rolled back improper spec compliance for finding elements.
* Fixed WebDriverBackedSelenium compatibility with IE5. Fixes issue #7938.
v2.43.1
=======
* Point-release to correct version resources in .NET bindings assemblies. No
functional changes.
v2.43.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox versions 32 (current), 31 (immediately
previous release and current ESR), and 24 (immediately previous ESR).
* Integrated the Microsoft Internet Explorer driver implementation into the
.NET bindings. By setting the Implementation property of the .NET bindings'
InternetExplorerDriverService class, the user can now force the driver to
use the Microsoft implementation. Note that the default is to use the
existing open-source implementation based on the Automation Atoms.
Over time as the Microsoft implementation matures, this will be switched to
use the Microsoft implementation, first by default, then exclusively.
To use the Microsoft implementation, the user must have the August 2014
updates to Internet Explorer installed through Windows Update, and must
install the IE Web Driver Tool for Internet Explorer 11 download from
Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44069).
* Added safe check for window.localStorage in .NET WebDriverBackedSelenium
implementation. Patch provided by Timofey Vasenin.
* Implemented pluggable element locator factories for .NET PageFactory. This
change allows the user to specify a custom IElementLocatorFactory for
locating elements when used with the PageFactory. This gives much more
control over the algorithm used to locate elements, and allows the
incorporation of things like retries or handling of specific exceptions.
* Issue #7367: Set Json.NET to ignore dates when parsing response values.
* Issue #7419: Added support for SwitchTo().ParentFrame() in .NET bindings.
This brings the .NET bindings into parity with other languages.
* Belatedly removed long-obsolete .NET tests for AndroidDriver.
v2.42.0
=======
* Supports native events for Firefox versions 29 (current), 28 (immediately
