SeleniumLibrary is a web testing library for Robot Framework that utilizes the Selenium tool internally. SeleniumLibrary 6.2.0 is a new release with compatibility fixes for recent selenium versions and some bug fixes.
If you have pip installed, just run
pip install --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibraryto install the latest available release or use
pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary==6.2.0to install exactly this version. Alternatively you can download the source distribution from PyPI and install it manually.
SeleniumLibrary 6.2.0 was released on Friday November 24, 2023. SeleniumLibrary supports Python 3.8 through 3.11, Selenium 4.12.0 through 4.15.2 and Robot Framework 5.0.1 and 6.1.1.
- Remove deprecated headless option for chrome and firefox. (#1858) If one specified either
headlesschromeorheadlessfirefoxas the browser within the Open Browser keyword, then the library would handle setting this option with the underlying Selenium driver. But the methods to do so were depracted and then removed in Selenium v4.13.0. Thus one was not getting a headless browser in these instances. This resolves that issue. - Resolve issue with service log_path now log_output. (#1870) Selenium changed the arguments for the service log within v4.13.0. This change allows for a seamless usage across versions before and after v4.13.0.
- Execute JavaScript converts arguments to strings with robot==6.1 (#1843) If any ARGUMENTS were passed into either the
Execute JavascriptorExecute Async Javascriptthen they were converted to strings even if they were of some other type. This has been corrected within this release.
