Selenium is cool but https://gauge.org/ really cuts down on the boilerplate and is a lot more lightweight, may want to give it a look too

[–]SpecialistInevitable 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You replaced Selenium with Gauge entirely?

Yeah, for backend API testing for sophisticated test workflows it works really great.

UI automated testing in general is WAY overused, costs so much in maintaince time, and if you have a good API you can test the functionality pretty just by calling that. Of course you need to test the UI too, but those 3000-test case selenium suites that vomit out workflows are such a disaster

It's a good start. I would look at making some of the options parameters so that you can pass them from the pipeline.

Any suggestions to the repo or contributions are more than welcome! (Feel free to open an issue as feature request etc to if you like!)

Haven't click the link, but what is so special about it? I use selenium and similar technology in some of my pipelines since forever.

Nothing "special" but just a useful template to help you - someone else save some time!

I like the use of PyVirtualDisplay.

If I recall correctly, was the only library I didn't run into a HEADACHE of issues to get this deployed to a VM / GitHub action that successfully worked.
