selenider 0.4.0

• find_each_element() and find_all_elements() are new functions that can
  be used to find elements using an element collection. They are designed to
  replace elem_flatmap(), which is now deprecated and defunct.
• element_list() is now deprecated in favour of
  as.list.selenider_elements().
• print_lazy() is now deprecated, as it offers little benefit and is complex
  to maintain.
• ChromoteSession$check_active() is used to make sure that the session is
  still active before performing an action.
• The timeout argument to open_url(), back(), forward(), and
  reload()/refresh() allows you to specify how long to wait for a page to
  load. They default to 60 seconds.

selenider 0.3.0

• Moved all session-specific options in selenider_session() to an option object
  (either chromote_options() or selenium_options()), which can be passed to
  the new options argument of selenider_session(). This means that a few
  arguments to selenider_session() have been deprecated and moved into
  option objects. Old code should be changed as follows:

  • selenider_session(view = TRUE) should be changed to:
    selenider_session(options = chromote_options(view = TRUE))
  • selenider_session(selenium_manager = FALSE) should be changed to:
    selenider_session( options = selenium_options(server_options = wdman_server_options()) )
  • selenider_session(quiet = FALSE) should be changed to:
    selenider_session(options = selenium_options( server_options = selenium_server_options(verbose = TRUE)) ))

  Additionally, create_chromote_session(), create_selenium_server(), and
  create_selenium_client() are now deprecated. This is because you now
  have access to all the options of these functions in the options argument
  of selenider_session().

• Improved reliability of functions when they use chromote, with help of code
  from the puppeteer project. Most
  notably:

  • elem_click() and friends now work if part of the element is not visible.
  • elem_value() and elem_set_value() now work on a wider variety of
    elements, including <select> elements.

• elem_focus() is a new function that allows you to focus an element.

• selenider_session() now uses the withr.hook_source option to ensure
  that withr works inside source().

selenider 0.2.0

New features

• elem_select() is a new function for interacting with <select>/<option>
  elements, allowing you to easily select by value, text and index.
• New current_url() returns the URL of the current page.

Major changes

• Previously, selenider used RSelenium
  as a Selenium backend. However, this package did not work with the latest version
  of Selenium, or the latest version of Google Chrome. It now uses
  selenium, which is compatible
  with both. This should make selenider more reliable, and more likely to
  work out of the box when using Selenium.
• Printing HTML elements now prints the actual HTML contained by the element.
  Previously, it printed the element in "lazy" form, describing how the element
  was to be obtained. While this new change makes viewing elements much easier,
  it also means that to print an element, it needs to exist in the DOM. Use
  print_lazy() to use the previous behaviour when printing.

Minor changes and bug fixes

• take_screenshot() with file = NULL now views the screenshot correctly.
• elem_set_value() now correctly invisibly returns its first argument x,
  allowing it to be used in a pipeline.
• find_element() and find_elements() no longer accept the link_text
  argument, as this was not working with chromote. Use elem_find() or
  elem_filter() instead.
• elem_get_value() now uses the JavaScript value property of an element,
  not the "value" attribute, meaning that it works in more cases.

selenider 0.1.2

• Released to CRAN
