Capium

A tool to get screenshots of web pages so easily and automatically works with Selenium3.0 for NodeJS and easy to use BrowserStack and SauceLabs.

Installation

Install to your project

yarn add capium

or

npm i capium --save-dev

Install graphic magick (if you don't have)

Mac OS X with Homebrew

brew install graphicsmagick

Windows

Download and Install from http://www.graphicsmagick.org/download.html

Basic Usage (Only get screenshots)

pages and caps are able to be specified multiply with Array. If single, it does'nt need to specify as Array.

index.js

const Capium = require('capium');
const capium = new Capium({
  pages: [
    "http://localhost/login.html",
    "http://localhost/register.html",
  ],
  caps: [
    {"browserName": "chrome"},
    {"browserName": "firefox"}
  ]
});
capium.run();

just run the file as node

node index.js

Destination Directory

If finished the process, Then you can see screenshots(png) in the ${you project root}/capium_output directory.

if git project

./capium_output/${git revision}/${url replaced / to _}

if timestamp option is true

./capium_output/${timestamp}/${url replaced / to _}

if git project and timestamp option is true

./capium_output/${git revision}/${timestamp}/${url replaced / to _}

ex)

./capium_output/562184b/1487045916823/www_google_com.png

Advanced Usage (With Webdriver Code)

Not only getting screenshots, WebDriver Code is also available. To run WebDriver Code on the page, set wd property as function. Basically the screenshots will be gotten after running WebDriver Code.

const Capium = require('capium');
const capium = new Capium({
  pages: [
    {
      url: "http://www.google.com/ncr",
      
      //Write here to execute webdriver api (Plain Webdriver Syntax)
      //This will executed before getting screenshot.
      wd: function (driver, webdriver) {
        driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');
        driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('btnG')).click();
        driver.wait(webdriver.until.titleIs('webdriver - Google Search'), 1000);
      }
    }
  ],
  caps: [
    {"browserName": "chrome"},
    {"browserName": "firefox"}
  ]
});
capium.run();

Config

pages => Pages Settings

  • url is target url to transition
  • wd(webdriver) is function to execute WebDriver API when page of url is loaded.
  • A parameter driver is built browser instance for API e.g. driver.wait and driver.executeScript etc.
  • A parameter webdriver is from require('selenium-webdriver') for API e.g. webdriver.By and webdriver.until.

caps => Browsers Capabilities

  • Native browserName could be specified as chrome/firefox/safari/MicrosoftEdge/internet explorer
  • Available as same as native capability of Selenium Webdriver. (See native capabilities of WebDriver)

To run on Remote Selenium(with BrowserStack and SauceLabs)

Set account capabilities

Set browser capabilities

To specify easily, use Capability Generator published by BrowserStack and SauceLabs.

To see all of capability, go to the each service site.

Examples (safari on iOS on iPhone6)

BrowserStack Capabilities
const Capium = require('capium');
const capium = new Capium({
    pages: [
    "http://localhost/login.html",
    "http://localhost/register.html",
  ],
  caps: [
    {
      "browserName": "iPhone",
      "platform": "MAC",
      "device": "iPhone 6",
      "browserstack.user": "****************",
      "browserstack.key": "********************"
    }
  ]
});
capium.run();
SauceLabs Capabilities
const Capium = require('capium');
const capium = new Capium({
    pages: [
    "http://localhost/login.html",
    "http://localhost/register.html",
  ],
  caps: [
    {
      "browserName": "Safari",
      "appiumVersion": "1.5.3",
      "deviceName": "iPhone 6s Device",
      "deviceOrientation": "portrait",
      "platformVersion": "9.3",
      "platformName": "iOS",
      "username": "***********",
      "accessKey": "********************************"
    }
  ]
});
capium.run();

Some better API than native Webdriver API

driver.executeScript and driver.executeAsyncScript are too unreadable and too difficult to write

because they are should to be passed as string like below.

const capium = new Capium({
  pages: [
    {
      url: "http://www.google.com/ncr",
      wd: function (driver, webdriver) {
        driver.executeScript('var allElements = document.querySelector("*"); for(var i = 0, len = allElements.length; i < len; i++) { allElements[i].hidden = true; } return "any value to want to pass";')
      }
    }
  ]
});

this.executeScript

const capium = new Capium({
  pages: [
    {
      url: "http://www.google.com/ncr",
      wd: function (driver, webdriver) {
        this.executeScript(function(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5) {
          var allElements = document.querySelector("*");
          for(var i = 0, len = allElements.length; i < len; i++) {
            allElements[i].hidden = true;
          }
          return 'any value to want to pass';
        });
      }
    }
  ]
});

this.executeAsyncScript

const capium = new Capium({
  pages: [
    {
      url: "http://www.google.com/ncr",
      wd: function (driver, webdriver) {
        this.executeAsyncScript(function() {
          var callback = arguments[arguments.length = 1];
          setTimeout(function() {
            callback('any value to want to pass')
          }, 10000);
        });
      }
    }
  ]
});

Passing arguments

Here is how to pass arguments from process of NodeJS into JavaScript in the Browser.

const capium = new Capium({
  pages: [
    {
      url: "http://www.google.com/ncr",
      wd: function (driver, webdriver) {
        this.executeScript(function(Arguments, are, available, at, here) {
          
          var msg = [Arguments, are, available, at, here].join(' ');
          console.log(msg);//Arguments are available at here
          
          return 'any value to want to pass';
        }, 'Arguments', 'are', 'available', 'at', 'here');
      }
    }
  ]
});

And also executeAsyncScript is same usage as above executeScript.

Browser Supports

chrome firefox edge ie11 safari iphone safari android chrome
Mac (local)
Windows (local)
Browser Stack (remote)
Sauce Labs (remote)

Range of Screenshot

chrome firefox edge ie11 safari ios safari android chrome
Full Page ∗1 Full Page ∗1 Full Page Full Page ∗1 Full Page ∗2 Full Page ∗1 Above the Fold
  • ∗1. As native, above the fold but it's emulated with window scrolling.
  • ∗2. In case of Safari10~ & Selenium3~. Otherwise Above the fold

Run as Standalone

See a document.

TIPS

If you get an error of missing driver

  1. Get driver from http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
  2. Enable the binary to be run from anywhere

If you use safari, turn on Allow Remote Automation before running.

Safari > Develop > Allow Remote Automation.

Specifying Basic Authentication Username and Password

Include Username and Password into the URL.

module.exports = [
  {
    url: "http://username:password@example.com"
  }
];

!!!! Take care to not make published the secret information. !!!!

Local site with Remote Selenium Services (e.g. http://localhost)

BrowserStack

Just add "browserstack.local": "true"

{
  "browserName": "iPhone",
  "platform": "MAC",
  "device": "iPhone 6",
  "browserstack.user": "****************",
  "browserstack.key": "********************",
  "browserstack.local": "true"
}

More information is here

SauceLabs

Download & use Sauce Connect from Sauce Labs.

Basic Usage

It works after launching SauceConnect server.

./sc-4.3.6-osx/bin/sc- u ${username} -k ${accesskey}
In the case of Basic Authenticated URL:
./sc-4.3.6-osx/bin/sc -u ${saucelabs_username} -k ${saucelabs_accesskey} -a ${host}:${port}:${basicauth_username}:${basicauth_password}

-a options is possible to be specified multiple time.

More information is here

Experimental capability to run without running above command

Otherwise, you are able to use Sauce Connect as just add only "sauceConnect": true parameter.

{
  "browserName": "chrome",
  "os": "windows",
  "username": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
  "accessKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "sauceConnect": true
}
