How To Use WebDriverManager In Selenium
Selenium WebDriver is still the most popular and widely used UI testing framework. Recently some test frameworks, such as Cypress, Playwright, etc., have entered the competition with Selenium. But Selenium came out with version 4, renewed and equipped with many new features, and it retook the leadership chair in the testing world.
So, is Selenium WebDriver very practical to use? Unfortunately, I can’t say yes to this question as a Selenium user. Today, you still need to download third-party browser drivers (or WebDrivers) and make various configurations in the framework to use Selenium WebDriver alone. Of course, you should remember to keep the WebDrivers up to date.
Isn’t the manual management (i.e., download, setup, and maintenance) of these drivers in a framework prepared for automated testing a bit annoying? Yes, it is. The good news is that there is an excellent solution to this problem: Boni García’s WebDriverManager.
In this blog on WebDriverManager in Selenium, I will examine how WebDriverManager offers a best practice using Selenium WebDriver.
