Create a remote driver

Description

remoteDr: Create a remote Driver object

Usage

remoteDr(remoteServerAddr = "http://localhost", port = 4444L,
  browserName = "firefox", version = "", platform = "ANY",
  javascript = TRUE, nativeEvents = TRUE, extraCapabilities = list(),
  path = "wd/hub", newSession = TRUE)

Arguments

remoteServerAddr

Object of class "character", giving the ip of the remote server. Defaults to localhost

port

Object of class "integer", the port of the remote server on which to connect

browserName

Object of class "character". The name of the browser being used; choices include chrome|firefox|internet explorer|iphone|htmlunit. Defaults to firefox.

version

Object of class "character". The browser version, or the empty string if unknown.

platform

Object of class "character". A key specifying which platform the browser is running on. This value should be one of WINDOWS|XP|VISTA|MAC|LINUX|UNIX. When requesting a new session, the client may specify "ANY" to indicate any available platform may be used.

javascript

Object of class "logical". Whether the session supports executing user supplied JavaScript in the context of the current page.

nativeEvents

Object of class "logical". Whether the session supports native events. n WebDriver advanced user interactions are provided by either simulating the Javascript events directly (i.e. synthetic events) or by letting the browser generate the Javascript events (i.e. native events). Native events simulate the user interactions better.

extraCapabilities

A list containing any os/platform/driver specific arguments.

path

Path on the server side to issue webdriver calls to. Normally use the default value.

newSession

Logical value whether to start an instance of the browser. If TRUE a browser will be opened using newSession

Value

An object of class "rDriver" is returned. This is a remote Driver object that is used in many of the remote driver specific functions. Many functions that take a remote driver object as input also return the remote driver object. This allows chaining of commands. See the examples for chaining in action.
