WebDriver Capabilities

What are Capabilities?

A good description can be found here:
Not all server implementations will support every WebDriver feature. Therefore, the client and server should use JSON objects with the properties listed below when describing which features a user requests that a session support. If a session cannot support a capability that is requested in the desired capabilities, no error is thrown; a read-only capabilities object is returned that indicates the capabilities the session actually supports.

  • Capabilities are options that you can use to customize and configure a Browser session
  • The capabilities you want to set are passed as a formatted string to function _WD_CreateSession
  • The WebDriver UDF uses the Capabilities class to pass the capabilities string to the WebDriver Exe
  • Format and content of the capabilities string differ from Browser to Browser
  • Some capabilities are read-only, some are read-write

Take a look at remark about Legacy capabilities.

Chrome

Link to the documentation of Capabilities for Chrome.

Link to List of Chromium Command Line Switches.

Examples

$sCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}'

Firefox

Link to the documentation of Capabilities for Firefox.

Examples

$sCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'

Edge

Link to the documentation of Capabilities for Edge.

Examples

$sCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}'

WD_Capabilities UDF

Creating a correct Capabilities string can become quite complex. Debugging problems as well.
That's why the WD_Capabilities UDF has been created. It makes sure the created Capabilities string is perfectly formatted all the time.

Chrome Examples

To get the following Capabilities string

'{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}'

you have to call this sequence of functions:

_WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'chrome')
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('w3c', True)
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('excludeSwitches', 'enable-automation')
Local $sCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()

Firefox Examples

To get the following Capabilities string

'{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'

you have to call this sequence of functions:

_WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'firefox')
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('browserName', 'firefox')
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('acceptInsecureCerts', True)
Local $sCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()

Edge Examples

To get the following Capabilities string

'{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"ms:edgeOptions": {"excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}'

you have to call this sequence of functions:

_WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'edge')
_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('excludeSwitches', 'enable-automation')
Local $sCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()
