Build a new elgalu selenium for windows
I think you meant to say "build a new Edge browser using Selenium for Windows".
To build a new Edge browser using Selenium for Windows, you'll need to follow these steps:
Prerequisites:
- Install Node.js (if you haven't already) from the official website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Install the Selenium WebDriver for Edge from the official website: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
- Install the
selenium
package using npm (Node Package Manager) by running the following command in your terminal/command prompt:npm install selenium
Step 1: Create a new project
Create a new directory for your project and navigate to it in your terminal/command prompt. Then, create a new file called edge.js
and add the following code:
const { Builder, By, Key, until } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const edge = require('selenium-edge');
(async () => {
// Set up the Edge browser
let edgeOptions = new edge.Options();
edgeOptions.addArguments('--headless');
edgeOptions.addArguments('--disable-gpu');
// Create a new instance of the Edge browser
let driver = await edge.build().then((edge) => {
return new edge.Builder().setEdgeOptions(edgeOptions).build();
});
// Navigate to a website
await driver.get('https://www.example.com');
// Perform some actions on the website
await driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys('Selenium');
await driver.findElement(By.name('q')).submit();
// Close the browser
await driver.quit();
})();
Step 2: Run the script
Run the edge.js
script using Node.js by running the following command in your terminal/command prompt:
node edge.js
This will launch a new instance of the Edge browser, navigate to the specified website, perform some actions, and then close the browser.
Tips and Variations:
- You can customize the Edge browser options by modifying the
edgeOptions
object. For example, you can add more arguments to theaddArguments()
method to change the browser's behavior. - You can also use other Selenium WebDriver commands to interact with the website, such as
findElement()
,findElements()
,click()
,sendKeys()
, etc. - If you want to run the script in a headless mode (i.e., without displaying the browser window), you can add the
--headless
argument to theaddArguments()
method.
