pollTimeout argument to the wait() method. Default value is 200msswitchTo().parentFrame() for non-W3C compatible driverslib/input.Origin from the top level selenium-webdriver module.selenium/${VERSION} (js ${PLATFORM}).Native support has been removed for Opera and PhantomJS as the WebDriver implementations for these browsers are no longer under active development.
For Opera, users should be able to simply rely on testing Chrome as the Opera browser is based on Chromium (and the operadriver was a thin wrapper around chromedriver). For PhantomJS, users should use Chrome or Firefox in headless mode (see example/headless.js)
Revamped the actions API to conform with the WebDriver Spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/#actions. For details, refer to the JS doc on the lib/input.Actions class.
As of January, 2018, only Firefox natively supports this new API. You can put the Actions class into “bridge mode” and it will attempt to translate mouse and keyboard actions to the legacy API ( see class docs). Alternatively, you may continue to use the legacy API directly via the lib/actions module. NOTE: The legacy API is considered strongly deprecated and will be removed in a minor release once Google‘s Chrome and Microsoft’s Edge browsers support the new API.
All window manipulation commands are now supported.
Added driver.switchTo().parentFrame()
When a named cookie is requested, attempt to fetch it directly using the W3C endpoint, GET /session/{session id}/cookie/{name}. If this command is not recognized by the remote end, fallback to fetching all cookies and then searching for the desired name.

Removed support for the SafariDriver browser extension. This has been replaced by Apple's safaridriver, which is included wtih Safari 10 (available on OS X El Capitan and macOS Sierra).
To use Safari 9 or older, users will have to use an older version of Selenium.
geckodriver v0.11.0 or newer is now required for Firefox.
Fixed potential reference errors in selenium-webdriver/testing when users create a cycle with mocha by running with mocha's --hook flag.
Fixed WebDriver.switchTo().activeElement() to use the correct HTTP method for compatibility with the W3C spec.
Update the selenium-webdriver/firefox module to use geckodriver's “moz:firefoxOptions” dictionary for Firefox-specific configuration values.
Extending the selenium-webdriver/testing module to support tests defined using generator functions.
The promise manager can be disabled by setting an enviornment variable: SELENIUM_PROMISE_MANAGER=0. This is part of a larger plan to remove the promise manager, as documented at https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/2969
When communicating with a W3C-compliant remote end, use the atoms library for the WebElement.getAttribute() and WebElement.isDisplayed() commands. This behavior is consistent with the java, .net, python, and ruby clients.
safari.Options#useLegacyDriver()promise.Thenable for compatibility with native promises:#isPending()#cancel()#finally()webdriver.WebDriver to overload the static function WebDriver.createSession() instead of doing work in the constructor. All constructors now inherit the base class' function signature. Users are still encouraged to use the Builder class instead of creating drivers directly.Builder#build() now returns a “thenable” WebDriver instance, allowing users to immediately schedule commands (as before), or issue them through standard promise callbacks.

Marionette may be enabled via the API, firefox.Options#useMarionette, or by setting the SELENIUM_MARIONETTE environment variable.
Moved all logic for parsing and interpreting responses from the remote end into the individual command.Executor implementations.
For consistency with the other Selenium language bindings, WebDriver#isElementPresent() and WebElement#isElementPresent() have been deprecated. These methods will be removed in v3.0. Use the findElements command to test for the presence of an element:
driver.findElements(By.css('.foo')).then(found => !!found.length);
Added support for W3C-spec compliant servers.
For consistent naming, deprecating error.InvalidSessionIdError in favor of error.NoSuchSessionError.
Moved the error module to lib/error so all core modules are co-located. The top-level error module will be removed in v3.0.
Moved until.Condition and until.WebElementCondition to the webdriver module to break a circular dependency.
Added support for setting the username and password in basic auth pop-up dialogs (currently IE only).
Deprecated WebElement#getInnerHtml() and WebEleemnt#getOuterHtml()
Deprecated Promise#thenCatch() - use Promise#catch() instead
Deprecated Promise#thenFinally() - use promise.thenFinally() instead
FIXED: io.findInPath() will no longer match against directories that have the same basename as the target file.
FIXED: phantomjs.Driver now takes a third argument that defines the path to a log file to use for the phantomjs executable's output. This may be quickly set at runtime with the SELENIUM_PHANTOMJS_LOG environment variable.
element.sendKeys(...) to send the key sequence as an array where each element defines a single key. The legacy wire protocol permits arrays where each element is a string of arbitrary length. This change is solely at the protocol level and should have no user-visible effect.Starting with v2.52.0, each release of selenium-webdriver will support the latest minor LTS and stable Node releases. All releases between the LTS and stable release will have best effort support. Further details are available in the selenium-webdriver package README.
webdriver.Builder#buildAsync(), which returns a promise that will be fulfilled with the newly created WebDriver instance once the associated browser has been full initialized. This is purely a convenient alternative to the existing build() method as the WebDriver class will always defer commands until it has a fully created browser.firefox.Profile#setHost() which may be used to set the host that the FirefoxDriver's server listens for commands on.

To check whether the value is true, use get(key).executors.DeferredExecutor in favor of lib/command.DeferredExecutor.error module to export an Error subtype for each type of error defined in the W3C WebDriver spec.http.Request and http.Response classes to store headers in maps instead of object literals.ws dependency to version 1.0.1.testing/assert module.By locators that are not in the W3C spec to delegated to using CSS selectors: By.className, By.id, By.name, and By.tagName.WebElement#takeScreenshot().Node v0.12.x users must run with --harmony. This is the last release that will support v0.12.x
FIXED: (Promise/A+ compliance) When a promise is rejected with a thenable, the promise adopts the thenable as its rejection reason instead of waiting for it to settle. The previous (incorrect) behavior was hidden by bugs in the promises-aplus-tests compliance test suite that were fixed in version 2.1.1.
FIXED: the webdriver.promise.ControlFlow now has a consistent execution order for tasks/callbacks scheduled in different turns of the JS event loop. Refer to the webdriver.promise documentation for more details.
FIXED: do not drop user auth from the WebDriver server URL.
FIXED: a single firefox.Binary instance may be used to configure and launch multiple FirefoxDriver sessions.
var binary = new firefox.Binary(); var options = new firefox.Options().setBinary(binary); var builder = new Builder().setFirefoxOptions(options); var driver1 = builder.build(); var driver2 = builder.build();
FIXED: zip files created for transfer to a remote WebDriver server are no longer compressed. If the zip contained a file that was already compressed, the server would return an “invalid code lengths set” error.
FIXED: Surfaced the loopback option to remote/SeleniumServer. When set, the server will be accessed using the current host's loopback address.
This is the last release for selenium-webdriver that will support ES5. Subsequent releases will depend on ES6 features that are enabled by default in Node v4.0.0. Node v0.12.x will continue to be supported, but will require setting the --harmony flag.
ws dependency from 0.7.1 to 0.8.00.10.x to 0.12.x. This is in accordance with the Node support policy established in v2.45.0.until.elementLocated() and until.elementsLocated().webdriver.logging module. For usage, see example/logging.js.Builder#usingWebDriverProxy() for more info.ErrorCode.NO_MODAL_DIALOG_OPEN and ErrorCode.MODAL_DIALOG_OPENED. Use ErrorCode.NO_SUCH_ALERT and ErrorCode.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_OPEN, respectively.promise.ControlFlow will maintain state for promise chains generated in a loop.promise.ControlFlow#wait() now has consistent semantics for an omitted or 0-timeout: it will wait indefinitely.remote.DriverService#start() will now fail if the child process dies while waiting for the server to start accepting requests. Previously, start would continue to poll the server address until the timeout expired.-silent flag to preheat the profile. Starting with Firefox 38, this would cause the browser to crash. This step, which was first introduced for Selenium's java client back with Firefox 2, no longer appears to be required.firefox.Driver#quit() will wait for the Firefox process to terminate before deleting the temporary webdriver profile. This eliminates a race condition where Firefox would write profile data during shutdown, causing the rm -rf operation on the profile directory to fail.chrome.Options API to cover all configuration options (e.g. mobile emulation and performance logging) documented on the ChromeDriver project site.Starting with the 2.45.0 release, selenium-webdriver will support the last two stable minor releases for Node. For 2.45.0, this means Selenium will support Node 0.10.x and 0.12.x. Support for the intermediate, un-stable release (0.11.x) is “best-effort”. This policy will be re-evaluated once Node has a major version release (i.e. 1.0.0).
Added native browser support for Internet Explorer, Opera 26+, and Safari
With the release of Node 0.12.0 (finally!), the minimum supported version of Node is now 0.10.x.
The promise module is now Promises/A+ compliant. The biggest compliance change is that promise callbacks are now invoked in a future turn of the JS event loop. For example:
var promise = require('selenium-webdriver').promise;
console.log('start');
promise.fulfilled().then(function() {
console.log('middle');
});
console.log('end');
// Output in [email protected]
// start
// middle
// end
//
// Output in [email protected]
// start
// end
// middle
The promise.ControlFlow class has been updated to track the asynchronous breaks required by Promises/A+, so there are no changes to task execution order.
Updated how errors are annotated on failures. When a task fails, the stacktrace from when that task was scheduled is appended to the rejection reason with a From: prefix ( if it is an Error object). For example:
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
driver.get('http://www.google.com/ncr');
driver.call(function() {
driver.wait(function() {
return driver.isElementPresent(webdriver.By.id('not-there'));
}, 2000, 'element not found');
});
This code will fail an error like:
Error: element not found
Wait timed out after 2002ms
at <stack trace>
From: Task: element not found
at <stack trace>
From: Task: WebDriver.call(function)
at <stack trace>
Changed the format of strings returned by promise.ControlFlow#getSchedule. This function now accepts a boolean to control whether the returned string should include the stacktraces for when each task was scheduled.
Deprecating promise.ControlFlow#getHistory, promise.ControlFlow#clearHistory, and promise.ControlFlow#annotateError. These functions were all intended for internal use and are no longer necessary, so they have been made no-ops.
WebDriver.wait() may now be used to wait for a promise to resolve, with an optional timeout. Refer to the API documentation for more information.
Added support for copying files to a remote Selenium via sendKeys to test file uploads. Refer to the API documentation for more information. Sample usage included in test/upload_test.js
Expanded the interactions API to include touch actions. See WebDriver.touchActions().
FIXED: 8380: firefox.Driver will delete its temporary profile on quit.
FIXED: 8306: Stack overflow in promise callbacks eliminated.
FIXED: 8221: Added support for defining custom command mappings. Includes support for PhantomJS's executePhantomJS (requires PhantomJS 1.9.7 or GhostDriver 1.1.0).
FIXED: 8128: When the FirefoxDriver marshals an object to the page for executeScript, it defines additional properties (required by the driver‘s implementation). These properties will no longer be enumerable and should be omitted (i.e. they won’t show up in JSON.stringify output).
FIXED: 8094: The control flow will no longer deadlock when a task returns a promise that depends on the completion of sub-tasks.
Added the until module, which defines common explicit wait conditions. Sample usage:
var firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox'),
until = require('selenium-webdriver/until');
var driver = new firefox.Driver();
driver.get('http://www.google.com/ncr');
driver.wait(until.titleIs('Google Search'), 1000);
FIXED: 8000: Builder.forBrowser() now accepts an empty string since some WebDriver implementations ignore the value. A value must still be specified, however, since it is a required field in WebDriver's wire protocol.
FIXED: 7994: The stacktrace module will not modify stack traces if the initial parse fails (e.g. the user defined Error.prepareStackTrace)
FIXED: 5855: Added a module (until) that defines several common conditions for use with explicit waits. See updated examples for usage.
Builder.usingServer(url) once again returns this for chaining.Added native support for Firefox - the Java Selenium server is no longer required.
Added support for generator functions to ControlFlow#execute and ControlFlow#wait. For more information, see documentation on webdriver.promise.consume. Requires harmony support (run with node --harmony-generators in v0.11.x).
Various improvements to the Builder API. Notably, the build() function will no longer default to attempting to use a server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub if it cannot start a browser directly - you must specify the WebDriver server with usingServer(url). You can also set the target browser and WebDriver server through a pair of environment variables. See the documentation on the Builder constructor for more information.
For consistency with the other language bindings, added browser specific classes that can be used to start a browser without the builder.
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver')
chrome = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome');
// The following are equivalent.
var driver1 = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
var driver2 = new chrome.Driver();
Promise A+ compliance: a promise may no longer resolve to itself.
For consistency with other language bindings, deprecated UnhandledAlertError#getAlert and added #getAlertText. getAlert will be removed in 2.45.0.
FIXED: 7641: Deprecated ErrorCode.NO_MODAL_DIALOG_OPEN and ErrorCode.MODAL_DIALOG_OPENED in favor of the new ErrorCode.NO_SUCH_ALERT and ErrorCode.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_OPEN, respectively.
FIXED: 7563: Mocha integration no longer disables timeouts. Default Mocha timeouts apply (2000 ms) and may be changed using this.timeout(ms).
FIXED: 7470: Make it easier to create WebDriver instances in custom flows for parallel execution.

This module simplifies writing assertions against promised values (see example in module documentation).
Added the webdriver.Capabilities class.
Added native support for the ChromeDriver. When using the Builder, requesting chrome without specifying a remote server URL will default to the native ChromeDriver implementation. The ChromeDriver server must be downloaded separately.
// Will start ChromeDriver locally.
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()).
build();
// Will start ChromeDriver using the remote server.
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()).
usingServer('http://server:1234/wd/hub').
build();
Added support for configuring proxies through the builder. For examples, see selenium-webdriver/test/proxy_test.
Added native support for PhantomJS.
Changed signature of SeleniumServer to SeleniumServer(jar, options).
Tests are now included in the npm published package. See README.md for execution instructions
Removed the deprecated webdriver.Deferred#resolve and webdriver.promise.resolved functions.
Removed the ability to connect to an existing session from the Builder. This feature is intended for use with the browser-based client.
