wrapper around [Chromedriver](https://sites.google.com/chromium.org/driver/)\nand [Microsoft Edge WebDriver](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/).\nThe Microsoft Edge WebDriver support is since v5.4.0.\nThis wrapper is not used directly in Appium, but rather by various Android drivers to automate\nChrome/Chromium-based browsers\nand web views using Hybrid Mode approach. Check the corresponding driver tutorials to get\nmore details on it.\n\n\u003e **Note**\n\u003e\n\u003e This package is intended to be used as a helper module for Appium drivers such as\n\u003e [UiAutomator2](https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver/) and\n\u003e [appium-chromium-driver](https://github.com/appium/appium-chromium-driver).\n\u003e It was not created for standalone usage.\n\u003e Please ensure you know what you are doing before using this package directly.\n\n\u003e **Note**\n\u003e\n\u003e This package can work with Microsoft Edge WebDriver as well, but the support is limited.\n\u003e For example, automatic downloads do not work for Microsoft Edge WebDriver.\n\n## Automatic Chromedriver download on module install\n\nSince version 6.0.0 of this module automatic download of the latest known chromedriver\ndoes not happen anymore. The below information is only relevant for older module versions:\n\n### Skipping binary installation\n\nBy default, upon installation the package downloads the most recent known Chromedriver version from\nChromedriver CDN server: http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com.\nIf, for some reason, you want to install the package without downloading the Chromedriver\nbinary set the `APPIUM_SKIP_CHROMEDRIVER_INSTALL` environment variable:\n\n```bash\nAPPIUM_SKIP_CHROMEDRIVER_INSTALL=1 npm install appium-chromedriver\n```\n\n### Custom Chromedriver version\n\nBy default, the package uses the most recent known Chromedriver version.\nThe full list of known Chromedriver versions and their corresponding supported\nChrome version could be found in\n[mapping.json](https://github.com/appium/appium-chromedriver/blob/master/config/mapping.json)\n\nTo download a custom version of Chromedriver, please set `CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION` environment variable:\n\n```bash\nCHROMEDRIVER_VERSION=107.0.5304.62 npm install appium-chromedriver\n```\n\n## Custom binaries url\n\nIf you want Chromedriver to be downloaded from another CDN, which differs from the\ndefault one https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com, then set the new URL to\nthe `CHROMEDRIVER_CDNURL` environment variable:\n\n```bash\nCHROMEDRIVER_CDNURL=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/chromedriver npm install appium-chromedriver\n```\n\nIf you want automatic chromedrivers download feature to work with a custom CDN URL then make sure\nthe server returns a proper list of stored drivers in response to requests having\n`Accept: application/xml` header. An example XML could be retrieved from the original URL using\n`curl -H 'Accept: application/xml' https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com` command.\n\nSince version 5.6 the second environment variable has been added: `CHROMELABS_URL`. By default, it points\nto https://googlechromelabs.github.io, and is expected to contain the actual prefix of\n[Chrome for Testing availability](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing#json-api-endpoints)\nJSON API. This API allows retrieval of chromedrivers whose major versions are greater than `114`.\n\nSimilarly to the above it could be also defined in the .npmrc file:\n\n```bash\nchromelabs_url=https://googlechromelabs.github.io\n```\n\nYou may also want to skip checking for older Chromedriver versions by providing an\nempty value to the `CHROMEDRIVER_CDNURL` variable.\n\n## Usage\n\n```js\nimport Chromedriver from 'appium-chromedriver';\n\n// 'sync'-like await/Promise usage\nasync function runSession() {\n    let driver = new Chromedriver();\n    const desiredCaps = {browserName: 'chrome'};\n    await driver.start(desiredCaps);\n    let status = await driver.sendCommand('/status', 'GET');\n    await driver.stop();\n}\n\n// EventEmitter usage\nfunction runSession2() {\n    let driver = new Chromedriver();\n    const desiredCaps = {browserName: 'chrome'};\n    driver.start(desiredCaps);\n    driver.on(Chromedriver.EVENT_CHANGED, function (msg) {\n        if (msg.state === Chromedriver.STATE_ONLINE) {\n            driver.sendCommand('/status', 'GET').then(function (status) {\n                driver.stop();\n            });\n        }\n    });\n    driver.on(Chromedriver.EVENT_ERROR, function (err) {\n        // :-(\n    });\n}\n```\n\n## States\n\nHere's what the Chromedriver state machine looks like:\n\n![Chromedriver States](./doc/states.png)\n\nHere are the events you can listen for:\n\n* `Chromedriver.EVENT_ERROR`: gives you an error object\n* `Chromedriver.EVENT_CHANGED`: gives you a state change object, with a `state` property that can be one of:\n    * `Chromedriver.STATE_STOPPED`\n    * `Chromedriver.STATE_STARTING`\n    * `Chromedriver.STATE_ONLINE`\n    * `Chromedriver.STATE_STOPPING`\n    * `Chromedriver.STATE_RESTARTING`\n\n\n## Development\n\n### Build \u0026 Lint\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\nnpm run lint\n```\n\n### Run Tests\n\n```bash\nnpm run test\nnpm run e2e-test\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fappium%2Fappium-chromedriver","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fappium%2Fappium-chromedriver","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fappium%2Fappium-chromedriver/lists"}
