Chrome browser automation

automating chrome

• Install the Chrome browser (in default location preferably)
• Get the Chrome server from http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list. Look for a file named chromedriver_win_XXXX.zip, where XXXX is the version number (if you're not on windows, look for appropriately named file).
• Extract chromedriver.exe in to the directory where your selenium-server-standalone jar file is.
• cd to that directory in command line & type: java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="chromedriver.exe" -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.20.0.jar
• In your script, pass 'browser_name' as 'chrome' for desired capabilities. for e.g.

my $driver = new Selenium::Remote::Driver('browser_name' => 'chrome');

handling ignore-certificate-errors warning

my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new(
    desired_capabilities => {
        chromeOptions => {
            excludeSwitches => [ 'ignore-certificate-errors' ]
        }
    }
);
