Since we wrote this post we didn't laze around. Check our latest announcement.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.1.0.Alpha3 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

The third and hopefully the last Alpha release of Drone 2.1.0 significantly improves the resolution of binaries from GitHub.

GitHub release caching

In the Drone 2.1.0.Alpha1 we introduced a new feature of automatic downloading for webdriver binaries which is really cool, but had one drawback. The Gecko driver is stored in GitHub so Drone has to send some request to get the latest version and to download the required binary. Unfortunately, GitHub has for unauthenticated requests a rate limit that allows us to make up to 60 requests per hour, which wasn’t hard to exceed (for example in CI servers).

In this release, we solved this problem using conditional requests so it should be impossible to run out of the number of limited requests now.

There is nothing that you would need to do to activate this feature, just update your Drone dependency and use your Drone tests as you did.

We hope that you’ll enjoy our new stuff and look forward to hearing your feedback.

The Arquillian team is proud to announce the 2.1.0.Alpha2 release of the Arquillian Drone Extension component!

The second Alpha release of Drone 2.1.0 brings:

• Support for Edge browser
• Support for Selenium Server arguments
• Component upgrades
• Bug fixes

Edge

After a long time, the Microsoft Edge Web Browser is supported by Drone. Big thanks to Tomas David as he is the hero who implemented and tested this feature.

To use Edge in you UI tests specify edge as a browser property in your arquillian.xml file:

<property name="browser">edge</property>

In case of Edge, Drone provides also the automatic download feature – for more information see Drone documentation

Selenium Server command line arguments

In the last release announcement, we mentioned that the Selenium Server is automatically started when necessary. It wasn’t possible to specify any argument (except for port) that should be used when an instance is started.

In this release, we introduce parameter seleniumServerArgs which you can define in your arquillian.xml file to specify arguments that should be used.

For example, if you used these properties:

<property name="seleniumServerArgs">-debug true -role node -browserTimeout 1000</property>
<property name="browser">firefox</property>

then the command used for starting Selenium Server instance would look like:

java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=target/.../geckodriver
     -jar target/.../selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar
     -port 4444 -debug true -role node -browserTimeout 1000

We hope that you’ll enjoy our new stuff and look forward to hearing your feedback.
