Selenium Options

To use below options you need to add selenium.php file in config folder and return an array with options.

// config/selenium.php

return [
    'port' => 4445
];

List of options:

####port <nnnn>

the port number the selenium server should use (default 4444)

####timeout <nnnn>

an integer number of seconds we should allow a client to be idle

####browserTimeout <nnnn>

an integer number of seconds a browser is allowed to hang

####interactive

puts you into interactive mode. See the tutorial for more details

####singleWindow

puts you into a mode where the test web site executes in a frame. This mode should only be selected if the application under test does not use frames.

####profilesLocation

Specifies the directory that holds the profiles that java clients can use to start up selenium. Currently supported for Firefox only.

####forcedBrowserMode <browser>

sets the browser mode to a single argument (e.g. "*iexplore") for all sessions, no matter what is passed to getNewBrowserSession

####forcedBrowserModeRestOfLine <browser>

sets the browser mode to all the remaining tokens on the line (e.g. "*custom/some/random/place/iexplore.exe") for all sessions, no matter what is passed to getNewBrowserSession

####userExtensions <file>

indicates a JavaScript file that will be loaded into selenium

####browserSessionReuse

stops re-initialization and spawning of the browser between tests

####avoidProxy

By default, we proxy every browser request; set this flag to make the browser use our proxy only for URLs containing '/selenium-server'

####firefoxProfileTemplate <dir>

normally, we generate a fresh empty Firefox profile every time we launch. You can specify a directory to make us copy your profile directory instead.

####debug

puts you into debug mode, with more trace information and diagnostics on the console

####browserSideLog

enables logging on the browser side; logging messages will be transmitted to the server. This can affect performance.

####ensureCleanSession

If the browser does not have user profiles, make sure every new session has no artifacts from previous sessions. For example, enabling this option will cause all user cookies to be archived before launching IE, and restored after IE is closed.

####trustAllSSLCertificates

Forces the Selenium proxy to trust all SSL certificates. This doesn't work in browsers that don't use the Selenium proxy.

####log <logFileName>

writes lots of debug information out to a log file and disables logging to console

####logLongForm

writes information out to console in long format (for debugging purpose)

####htmlSuite <browser> <startURL> <suiteFile> <resultFile>

Run a single HTML Selenese (Selenium Core) suite and then exit immediately, using the specified browser (e.g. "*firefox") on the specified URL (e.g. "http//www.google.com"). You need to specify the absolute path to the HTML test suite as well as the path to the HTML results file we'll generate.

####proxyInjectionMode

puts you into proxy injection mode, a mode where the selenium server acts as a proxy server for all content going to the test application. Under this mode, multiple domains can be visited, and the following additional flags are supported

####dontInjectRegex <regex>

an optional regular expression that proxy injection mode can use to know when to bypss injection

####userJsInjection <file>

specifies a JavaScript file which will then be injected into all pages

####userContentTransformation <regex> <replacement>

a regular expression which is matched against all test HTML content; the second is a string which will replace matches. These flags can be used any number of times. A simple example of how this could be useful if you add "-userContentTransformation https http" then all "https" strings in the HTML of the test application will be changed to be "http".
