Seleniu...nection(3)

📦 version 1.49, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 NAME 💅

<Selenium::Remote::RemoteConnection> — bestie, this is the module that lets you connect to a selenium server. That's the whole vibe. (It's a Perl thing, from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the full name is Selenium::Remote::RemoteConnection — long, iconic, no notes. 💜)

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.49 — that's the one we're on, periodt. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Like, here's the whole thing in action:

my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new();
eval { $driver->remote_conn->check_status() };
die "do something to kick the server" if $@;

That's it, that's the flowchart. If check_status throws, the server's not ok and you gotta go poke it. 😭

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk — you shouldn't really need to be using this module unless you're debugging or checking connections while you're testing dangerous things. It's giving backstage pass, not main character energy. 🙈

🔥 CONSTRUCTOR 🔥

new(%parameters)

She accepts 5 parameters, and yes, they all matter:

  • remote_server_addr — the address of the selenium server 📍
  • port — the port of the selenium server 🔌
  • ua — useful to override with Test::LWP::UserAgent in unit tests 🧪
  • debug — should be self-explanatory, bestie 💀
  • error_handler — defaults to Selenium::Remote::ErrorHandler. 👑

And the best part? You can set any of these at any time later with getter/setters that have the exact same name. So flexible. So iconic. ✨

⭐ METHODS ⭐

check_status

Lowkey croaks unless the selenium server is responsive. 😤 Sometimes it's genuinely useful to call this in-between tests, because — and I cannot stress this enough — the server CAN die on you... 💀

request

Makes a request of the Selenium server. Mostly useful for debugging things going wrong with Selenium::Remote::Driver when it's not in normal operation. Think of it as the little flashlight you point at the chaos. 🔦🫶
