Downloader for github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

This puts geckodriver or geckodriver.exe into root of this module.

Install

npm install geckodriver

Usage

There are several ways to use this module:

Use the provided geckodriver from bin directory.

bin/geckodriver [args]

Use it by requiring:

require('geckodriver');

Use it by setting WebDriver capabilities:

profile.setPreference('marionette', true);
// Add log level if needed:
// profile.setPreference('marionette.logging', 'TRACE');

Use it globally:

npm install -g geckodriver
geckodriver [args]

Note: This installs a geckodriver shell script that runs the executable, but on Windows, selenium-webdriver looks for geckodriver.exe. To use a global installation of this package with selenium-webdriver on Windows, copy or link geckodriver.exe to a location on your PATH (such as the NPM bin directory) after installing this package:

mklink %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\geckodriver.exe %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\geckodriver\geckodriver.exe

Setting a CDN URL for binary download

To set an alternate CDN location for geckodriver binaries, set the GECKODRIVER_CDNURL like this:

GECKODRIVER_CDNURL=https://INTERNAL_CDN/geckodriver/download

Binaries on your CDN should be located in a subdirectory of the above base URL. For example, /vxx.xx.xx/*.tar.gz should be located under /geckodriver/download above.

Alternatively, you can add the same property to your .npmrc file.

Default location is set to https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download

Setting a PROXY URL

Use HTTPS_PROXY or HTTP_PROXY to set your proxy url.

Setting a specific version

Use GECKODRIVER_VERSION if you require a specific version of gecko driver for your browser version.

Using a cached download

Use GECKODRIVER_FILEPATH to point to a pre-downloaded geckodriver archive that should be extracted during installation.

Skipping geckodriver download

Use GECKODRIVER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD to skip the download of the geckodriver file.
