Messing around with #Selenium to automate some repetitive work stuff, and immediately ran into an annoyance.
By default it sends usage statistics to an external server (fortunately blocked by the work network) but it's opt-out without any obvious announcement.
Not a good first impression.
🚀 A bunch of #WebDriver features and fixes landed in Firefox 146. WebDriver is the W3C standard for interoperable browser automation, for things like testing tools, and MCPs.
Keep up to date with all the progress here:

🚀 Firefox 145 introduces WebDriver BiDi enhancements like a new `emulation.setUserAgentOverride` command for spoofing user agents, a `browsingContext.downloadEnd` event to track completed downloads, plus various fixes: https://fxdx.dev/firefox-webdriver-newsletter-145/
🚀 Webdriver Binaries Gradle plugin 4.0.0 has been released!

The webdriver libraries for #rstats are quite the mess and I can't get them to work with geckodriver.
So I'm just using plain geckodriver over http with httr2 and it works kinda ok.
I only wish there would be a useful api reference for the http #webdriver http api, with all endpoint and expected fields in the request body (any links welcome)
And I know python or java would be better tools, but this is at work and R is what the IT dpt installs without lengthy discussion.

I also linked it from https://github.com/martinpitt/bidi-test/ README.
Oops, we forgot to share the WebDriver news for Firefox 138!
WebDriver BiDi now lets you install unsigned extensions and allows to set a default viewport for user contexts: https://fxdx.dev/firefox-webdriver-newsletter-138/
Firefox 139 introduces geolocation override via WebDriver BiDi!
Now you can easily test location-aware features: https://fxdx.dev/firefox-webdriver-newsletter-139/
I'm really looking forward to @devconf_cz this year again for meeting many of you again, nerding out, and having 🍻 !
This time I only have a short #LightningTalk about browser automation with #webdriver #BiDi. If you are interested in testing web pages/apps or want to automate your daily web comic download, please say hi 👋
Yay, I now have bragging rights for "I have a commit in #Firefox" 🎉 I fixed a regression with frame animation waiting in the #webdriver #BiDi code. Many thanks to the super helpful and friendly Firefox #developers, Julian and Henrik!

(plus the parent commit with some preparatory code refactoring)
Tomorrow at 14:55 CET, our very own Lauro Moura will be in Valencia speaking at @seleniumconf to deliver his presentation “Advancing WebDriver BiDi support in WebKit”, where he will navigate through the historical motivations, current challenges and future steps of his ongoing work to support WebDriver BiDi in WebKit. Feel free to come and say hi!
New features for WebDriver BiDi in Firefox 136: subscription IDs for better event management and support for containers with preload scripts! More details at https://fxdx.dev/firefox-webdriver-newsletter-136/ 🚀
Нюансы автоматизированного тестирования расширений для VS Code с помощью WebdriverIO
Привет! Я инженер по контролю качества продукта Amplicode в компании Haulmont . Одним из направлений деятельности нашей компании является разработка плагинов для IntelliJ IDEA и расширений для VSCode. Передо мной встала задача протестировать расширение Amplicode Frontend для VS Code. Задача оказалась не самой тривиальной и в процессе мы столкнулись с немалым количеством проблем и нюансов, о которых я и хочу рассказать в этой статье.

Автоматизация мобильных приложений на Python с использованием Appium и Pytest. Пишем первый тест
Автоматизация мобильных приложений на Python с использованием Appium и Pytest. Пишем первый тест Активно начал изучать автоматизацию мобильных приложений на Appium + Pytest, но на просторах рунета не нашел нормальную документацию по построения проекта и запуска первых тестов. Решил написать данную статью. Для начала работы необходимо настроить рабочее окружение. Для начала проверим установлен ли на вашей машине Python. Проверить это можно с помощью команды python3 -V в терминале. Далее терминал должен вывести версию Python. В моем случае Python установлен версии 3.13.0 В моем случае Python установлен версии 3.13.0 Если после ввода в терминал команды python3 - V - терминал вывел command not found: python, то вам необходимо установить Python, сделать это можно следующими способами (необходимо установить в виртуальное окружение вашего проекта): есть несколько способов установки, я остановился на на менеджере пакетов для macOS - Homebrew.

I really like the #webdriver #bidi spec. It's so much more consistent between Firefox and Chromium, and will greatly simplify our browser integration tests. Plus, the authors are super helpful! ❤️
We'll be able to drop a lot of moving parts and test driver code after that.
