Release Notes:

0.2.0

• Changes

  • Changes in underlying Browser.requests_session object,

    • requests_session.result has been removed. There is just requests_session.response which is a blocking call (in case asynch flag is set). Also note, requests_session.is_request_done is still available to see if request is complete of not. There are no changes to other properties and are blocking in case of asynchronous call.

    • requests_session.content() method with options for bytes and text has been changed to properties, just like in underlying requests. That is now you call, requests_session.content for bytes and requests_session.text for text.

    • In context of above changes, Browser object also has below changes,

      • Browser.get and Browser.post now returns requests_session object (used to be requests_session.response).
      • Browser.content() has been changed to properties. That is now you call, Browser.content for bytes and Browser.text for text.

• New features

  • Support for remote url. Please note this requires Selenium Grid to be setup explicitly. Once done use the URL here.

  • Flags for Opera browser (Browser.OPERA). Webdriver executable needs to be present in driver_path. Please note EDGE and SAFARI are also supported the same way. That is, webdriver isn't automatically downloaded, instead path needs to be provided.

      • add_to_ospath - Set this flag to add directory to PATH. Default is False

    • New properties -

      As you might already know, download happens in background (asynchronous) by default and can of course be changed with asynch. To check if download was successful, below properties are available,

      • is_download_complete - True or False
      • downloaded_files - list of downloaded files

  • HTML links method has below method changes,

    This is the one you would invoke via Browser as Browser.html().elements.link().

    • Added more parameters -

      • images - You can filter out images. Default is False that means to include images, you will need to set this to True
      • name_length_limit - This limits the length of name of the url. Default is 60
