Users are still encouraged to use the Builder class instead of creating
drivers directly.Builder#build() now returns a "thenable" WebDriver instance, allowing users
to immediately schedule commands (as before), or issue them through standard
promise callbacks. This is the same pattern already employed for WebElements.Builder#buildAsync() as it was redundant with the new semantics of

Added support for W3C-spec compliant servers.
For consistent naming, deprecating error.InvalidSessionIdError in favor of
error.NoSuchSessionError.
Moved the error module to lib/error so all core modules are co-located.
The top-level error module will be removed in v3.0.

FIXED: io.findInPath() will no longer match against directories that have
the same basename as the target file.
FIXED: phantomjs.Driver now takes a third argument that defines the path to
a log file to use for the phantomjs executable's output. This may be quickly
set at runtime with the SELENIUM_PHANTOMJS_LOG environment variable.
element.sendKeys(...) to send the key sequence as an array where
each element defines a single key. The legacy wire protocol permits arrays
where each element is a string of arbitrary length. This change is solely
at the protocol level and should have no user-visible effect.Starting with v2.52.0, each release of selenium-webdriver will support the latest minor LTS and stable Node releases. All releases between the LTS and stable release will have best effort support. Further details are available in the selenium-webdriver package README.
webdriver.Builder#buildAsync(), which returns a promise that will be
fulfilled with the newly created WebDriver instance once the associated
browser has been full initialized. This is purely a convenient alternative
to the existing build() method as the WebDriver class will always defer

the FirefoxDriver's server listens for commands on. The server uses

FIXED: zip files created for transfer to a remote WebDriver server are no longer compressed. If the zip contained a file that was already compressed, the server would return an "invalid code lengths set" error.
FIXED: Surfaced the loopback option to remote/SeleniumServer. When set,
the server will be accessed using the current host's loopback address.
This is the last release for selenium-webdriver that will support ES5.
Subsequent releases will depend on ES6 features that are enabled by
default in Node v4.0.0. Node v0.12.x will
continue to be supported, but will require setting the --harmony flag.

while waiting for the server to start accepting requests. Previously, start
would continue to poll the server address until the timeout expired.-silent flag to preheat the profile.
Starting with Firefox 38, this would cause the browser to crash. This step,
which was first introduced for Selenium's java client back with Firefox 2,
no longer appears to be required.firefox.Driver#quit() will wait for the Firefox process to
terminate before deleting the temporary webdriver profile. This eliminates a
race condition where Firefox would write profile data during shutdown,
causing the rm -rf operation on the profile directory to fail.chrome.Options API to cover all configuration
options (e.g. mobile emulation and performance logging) documented on the
ChromeDriver project site.Starting with the 2.45.0 release, selenium-webdriver will support the last two stable minor releases for Node. For 2.45.0, this means Selenium will support Node 0.10.x and 0.12.x. Support for the intermediate, un-stable release (0.11.x) is "best-effort". This policy will be re-evaluated once Node has a major version release (i.e. 1.0.0).
0.10.x.The promise module is now Promises/A+
compliant. The biggest compliance change is that promise callbacks are now
invoked in a future turn of the JS event loop. For example:
var promise = require('selenium-webdriver').promise;
console.log('start');
promise.fulfilled().then(function() {
console.log('middle');
});
console.log('end');
// Output in selenium-webdriver@2.44.0
// start
// middle
// end
//
// Output in selenium-webdriver@2.45.0
// start
// end
// middle
The promise.ControlFlow class has been updated to track the asynchronous
breaks required by Promises/A+, so there are no changes to task execution
order.
Updated how errors are annotated on failures. When a task fails, the
stacktrace from when that task was scheduled is appended to the rejection
reason with a From: prefix (if it is an Error object). For example:
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
driver.get('http://www.google.com/ncr');
driver.call(function() {
driver.wait(function() {
return driver.isElementPresent(webdriver.By.id('not-there'));
}, 2000, 'element not found');
});
This code will fail an error like:
Error: element not found
Wait timed out after 2002ms
at <stack trace>
From: Task: element not found
at <stack trace>
From: Task: WebDriver.call(function)
at <stack trace>
Changed the format of strings returned by promise.ControlFlow#getSchedule.
This function now accepts a boolean to control whether the returned string
should include the stacktraces for when each task was scheduled.
Deprecating promise.ControlFlow#getHistory,
promise.ControlFlow#clearHistory, and promise.ControlFlow#annotateError.
These functions were all intended for internal use and are no longer
necessary, so they have been made no-ops.
WebDriver.wait() may now be used to wait for a promise to resolve, with
an optional timeout. Refer to the API documentation for more information.
Added support for copying files to a remote Selenium via sendKeys to test
file uploads. Refer to the API documentation for more information. Sample
usage included in test/upload_test.js
Expanded the interactions API to include touch actions.
See WebDriver.touchActions().
FIXED: 8380: firefox.Driver will delete its temporary profile on quit.
FIXED: 8306: Stack overflow in promise callbacks eliminated.
FIXED: 8221: Added support for defining custom command mappings. Includes
support for PhantomJS's executePhantomJS (requires PhantomJS 1.9.7 or
GhostDriver 1.1.0).
FIXED: 8128: When the FirefoxDriver marshals an object to the page for
executeScript, it defines additional properties (required by the driver's
implementation). These properties will no longer be enumerable and should
be omitted (i.e. they won't show up in JSON.stringify output).
FIXED: 8094: The control flow will no longer deadlock when a task returns a promise that depends on the completion of sub-tasks.
Added the until module, which defines common explicit wait conditions.
Sample usage:
var firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox'),
until = require('selenium-webdriver/until');
var driver = new firefox.Driver();
driver.get('http://www.google.com/ncr');
driver.wait(until.titleIs('Google Search'), 1000);
FIXED: 8000: Builder.forBrowser() now accepts an empty string since some
WebDriver implementations ignore the value. A value must still be specified,
however, since it is a required field in WebDriver's wire protocol.
FIXED: 7994: The stacktrace module will not modify stack traces if the
initial parse fails (e.g. the user defined Error.prepareStackTrace)
FIXED: 5855: Added a module (until) that defines several common conditions
for use with explicit waits. See updated examples for usage.
Builder.usingServer(url) once again returns this for
chaining.ControlFlow#execute and
ControlFlow#wait. For more information, see documentation on
webdriver.promise.consume. Requires harmony support (run with
node --harmony-generators in v0.11.x).Builder API. Notably, the build() function
will no longer default to attempting to use a server at
http://localhost:4444/wd/hub if it cannot start a browser directly -
you must specify the WebDriver server with usingServer(url). You can
also set the target browser and WebDriver server through a pair of
environment variables. See the documentation on the Builder constructor
for more information.For consistency with the other language bindings, added browser specific classes that can be used to start a browser without the builder.
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver')
chrome = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome');
// The following are equivalent.
var driver1 = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
var driver2 = new chrome.Driver();
Promise A+ compliance: a promise may no longer resolve to itself.
For consistency with other language bindings, deprecated
UnhandledAlertError#getAlert and added #getAlertText.
getAlert will be removed in 2.45.0.
FIXED: 7641: Deprecated ErrorCode.NO_MODAL_DIALOG_OPEN and
ErrorCode.MODAL_DIALOG_OPENED in favor of the new
ErrorCode.NO_SUCH_ALERT and ErrorCode.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_OPEN,
respectively.
FIXED: 7563: Mocha integration no longer disables timeouts. Default Mocha
timeouts apply (2000 ms) and may be changed using this.timeout(ms).
FIXED: 7470: Make it easier to create WebDriver instances in custom flows for parallel execution.

Changed signature of SeleniumServer to SeleniumServer(jar, options).
Tests are now included in the npm published package. See README.md for
execution instructions
Removed the deprecated webdriver.Deferred#resolve and
webdriver.promise.resolved functions.
Removed the ability to connect to an existing session from the Builder. This feature is intended for use with the browser-based client.
