Do you need a WebDriver for Selenium?

Can we run Selenium without ChromeDriver?

We can run Selenium on Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera and Safari.

But we can't run it on any other browser. Why is that? Is it possible to run Selenium without ChromeDriver? If not, is there a way to make it work on other browsers?

When I said run, I mean run a simple test with Selenium WebDriver. It is not possible to run Selenium without a browser. You need a web browser to run your Selenium tests.

The reason for this is simple: Selenium doesn't know what a web browser is. It doesn't know what a DOM (Document Object Model) is. It doesn't know what a DOM tree is. And it certainly doesn't know what a browser is.

It does know how to drive a browser. It doesn't know how to drive a browser in a different way than the default browser.

In short: it is impossible for Selenium to know how to run a web browser. It is impossible for Selenium to tell the difference between one web browser and another web browser. It is impossible for Selenium to even know whether a particular web browser can be driven or not.

If you want to run your Selenium tests on a browser other than the default browser, you will have to do two things: You will have to download the web browser that you want to use to drive your tests. You will have to configure your test run so that the browser you downloaded becomes the default browser. Let's take a look at the two options. Option 1: Download a browser to drive your tests. Downloading a browser means installing a web browser on your computer. This can be a very complicated and time consuming process. We don't want to talk about it here.

If you already have a browser installed on your computer, you can simply download the latest version of that browser. For example, if you have installed Firefox on your computer, you can download the latest version of Firefox from .

If you don't have a browser installed on your computer, you can simply download the latest version of that browser.

How to use Selenium with undetected ChromeDriver?

I have been trying to learn Selenium to automate web applications.

I was able to run a Selenium test using ChromeDriver and Chrome, but I am unable to do it with the undetected ChromeDriver. I tried to follow some of the answers in this post, but I keep getting the following error:
Org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Runtime.executionContextCreated has visible children, but controlRoot is null. Please see for more information
I am using Java 1.7.025 and Chrome version 46.2490.80.

I was able to get the Selenium to run the test using the undetected ChromeDriver by adding the following line of code to the constructor of the WebDriver class: @BeforeClass(). Then, I added the chrome driver to the TestNG classes.

Do you need a WebDriver for Selenium?

I am new to selenium and was wondering what kind of webdriver would be needed?

I only need to perform some basic tasks on the website. Some of these are: Login, Signup, Logout.

I also want to be able to automate using various keywords. These keywords will change from time to time.

Also, I am confused as to which webdriver is needed to be used. I have a general understanding that to login you need a driver for selenium to interact with. But for my particular needs do I need to download a selenium driver or can I use the standard selenium API for .NET?
I hope I am not asking a stupid question. Please help.

Thanks. I'd suggest using HtmlAgilityPack instead. It's very easy to use, and you can do things like click elements, copy text, etc. Here is an example of how to copy a selected text in a HAP tag: HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
Doc.LoadHtml(textBox1.Text);
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlNodeCollection ncol = doc.DocumentNode.OuterHtml = search;

You can use other tags too if you want. Here's an example of how to get the title attribute of an element: HtmlAgilityPack.Value; The problem with the HtmlAgilityPack is that it doesn't have a built-in browser control. If you want to use a browser control, you'll have to install the Internet Explorer version (see here).

Is Chrome driver required for Selenium?

If my app does not support Chrome driver?

How do I test that selenium works fine without Chrome driver. Is there a way to test it? I use firefox and chrome drivers. To test if Selenium works fine without Chrome driver, you need to see whether the script is able to find elements on page. It doesn't matter that it has been written for Chrome driver, if the page does not exist then it will not be found. So, you will have to create the page and test if the element exists and it shows a result.
