  • The browser, host and port fields can now be used to access the browser,
    host and port of a SeleniumSession object.
  • All web requests now have a 20 second timeout by default, meaning that if a
    response is not received within 20 seconds, an error is thrown. This stops
    requests running indefinitely, and can be customised with the timeout
    argument to each method.
  • Previously, selenium_server() could error if called too many times with
    version = "latest". This is because a GitHub request is made to access
    the latest version, which can cause GitHub's rate limits to be exceeded.
    This update takes two steps to stop this from happening:
    • The latest version, when fetched, is cached in the current R session,
      allowing it to be re-used.
    • gitcreds is used, if available, to authenticate GitHub requests,
      increasing the rate limit.
  • selenium_server() passes in "|" to stdout and stderr, instead of
    exposing them as user arguments. This allows the output/error to be read
    using $read_output() and $read_error().
