Welcoming Puppeteer to the WebDriver World
Categories:
The Selenium Project has always been fully supportive of creating a standard to improve the quality of the web that we use. We started with the WebDriver Specification and over the last couple of years have been working with the Safari, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox teams on the WebDriver-BiDi specification.
Today, we are celebrating that Puppeteer has moved over to using WebDriver-BiDi, the new WebDriver Specification that allows WebDriver clients to have event driven APIs instead of the synchronous way Selenium has done it before.
This new protocol allows us to be able to do things Selenium always wanted to do but was never surfaced to us in a meaningful way. We have documented all the latest additions to Selenium, thanks to WebDriver-BiDi, in our documentation
You can read about the latest changes on Mozilla Hacks and on the Chrome Developer Blog.
Congratulations to everyone in making this a reality and supporting a standardised web!
