Driloader

Selenium drivers downloader tool with standalone CLI support.

Why is it for?

Selenium needs a specific driver to work with each browser. Every driver has a version that works with specific browser versions, and it's really annoying reading the changelogs to check if the current driver will work with the new browser version. Plus, a lot of times a test crashes because the browser has updated and the driver is not compatible anymore. That's why Driloader exists: To make this process so much easier! Driloader autodetect the browser version (it supports Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer) and download the driver according to it's version.

Requires

• Python 3.4 or higher
