browser_driver

This project contains a wrapper for selenium, a framework to automate a browser, and often used in testing. This wrapper provides

1. Logging, because good software has good logging
2. Browser Upgrade Protection; because as they race to out-do each other, the browser behaves differently with some updates
3. Selenium behavior supplementation; for instance, with an update, Chrome required an element to be scrolled into view or an error occurred. Having a central wrapper allows for making that sort of update in one location
4. Screenshots, because if you want to run lights-out (not visible), you'll need a screenshot of what went wrong to fix it.
