<p>
WebDriver is a remote control interface
that enables introspection and control of user agents.
It provides a platform- and language-neutral wire protocol
as a way for out-of-process programs
to remotely instruct the behavior of web browsers.
<p>
Provided is a set of interfaces
to discover and manipulate DOM elements in web documents
and to control the behavior of a user agent.
It is primarily intended to allow web authors to write tests
that automate a user agent from a separate controlling process,
but may also be used in such a way as to allow in-browser scripts
to control a — possibly separate — browser.
</section>
<!-- ReSpec complains if removed completely -->
<section id=sotd></section>
<section class=informative>
<h2>Design</h2>
<p>
The WebDriver standard attempts to follow a number of design goals:
<section>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>
This specification is derived from the popular
<a href=https://selenium.dev>Selenium WebDriver</a> browser automation framework.
Selenium is a long-lived project,
and due to its age and breadth of use
it has a wide range of expected functionality.
This specification uses these expectations to inform its design.
Where improvements or clarifications have been made,
they have been made with care to allow existing users of Selenium WebDriver
to avoid unexpected breakages.
</section>
<section>
<h3>Simplicity</h3>
<p>
The largest intended group of users of this specification
are software developers and testers
writing automated tests and other tooling,
such as monitoring or load testing, that relies on automating a browser.
As such, care has been taken to provide commands
that simplify common tasks such as <a data-lt="Element Send Keys">typing into</a>
and <a data-lt="Element Click">clicking</a> elements.
</section>
<section>
<h3>Extensions</h3>
<p>
WebDriver provides a mechanism for others to define extensions to the protocol
for the purposes of automating functionality that cannot be implemented entirely
in <a href=https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/>ECMAScript</a>. This allows other
web standards to support the automation of new platform features. It also
allows vendors to expose functionality that is specific to their browser.
</section>
</section> <!-- /Design Notes -->
<section id="conformance">
<p>
Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms
or specific steps may be implemented in any manner,
so long as the end result is equivalent.
Algorithms in this document are typically written with readability,
rather than performance, in mind.
</section>
<section>
<h2>Terminology</h2>
<p>
In equations, all numbers are integers,
addition is represented by “+”,
subtraction by “−”,
division by “÷”,
and bitwise OR by “|”.
The characters “(” and “)” are used to provide logical grouping in these contexts.
<p>
The mathematical function
<dfn>min</dfn>(<var>value</var>, <var>value</var>[, <var>value</var>])
returns the smallest item of two or more values.
Conversely, the function
<dfn>max</dfn>(<var>value</var>, <var>value</var>[, <var>value</var>])
returns the largest item of two or more values.
<p>
The mathematical function <dfn>floor</dfn>(<var>value</var>)
produces the largest integer, closest to positive infinity,
that is not larger than <var>value</var>.
<p>
A <dfn data-lt=uuid>Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)</dfn>
is a 128 bits long URN that requires no central registration process.
<dfn>Generating a UUID</dfn> means
<i>Creating a UUID From Truly Random or Pseudo-Random Numbers</i>,
and converting it to the string representation.
[[RFC4122]]
<p>
The <dfn data-lt="Unix timestamp">Unix Epoch</dfn>
is a value that approximates the number of seconds
that have elapsed since the Epoch,
as described by The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7
<a href=https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap04.html#tag_04_15>section 4.15</a> (IEEE Std 1003.1).
<p>
An <dfn>integer</dfn> is a <a>Number</a> that is unchanged
under the <a>ToInteger</a> operation.
<p>
The <dfn>initial value</dfn> of an ECMAScript property
is the value defined by the platform for that property,
i.e. the value it would have in the absence of any shadowing by content script.
<!--
‘Chrome’ definition is borrowed
from Web Security Context: User Interface Guidelines:
https://www.w3.org/TR/wsc-ui/#def-chrome
-->
<p>
The <dfn>browser chrome</dfn> is a non-normative term
to refer to the representation through which the user
interacts with the user agent itself,
as distinct from the accessed web content.
Examples of <dfn data-lt="browser chrome element">browser chrome elements</dfn>
include, but are not limited to,
toolbars (such as the bookmark toolbar),
menus (such as the file or context menu),
buttons (such as the back and forward buttons),
door hangers (such as security and certificate indicators),
and decorations (such as operating system widget borders).
</section> <!-- /Terminology -->
<section>
<h2>Interface</h2>
<p>
The <dfn>webdriver-active flag</dfn>
is set to true when the user agent is under remote control.
It is initially false.
<pre class=idl>
interface mixin NavigatorAutomationInformation {
readonly attribute boolean webdriver;

<h2>Nodes</h2>
<p>The WebDriver protocol consists of communication between:
<dl>
<dt><dfn data-lt="local ends|local">Local end</dfn>
<dd><p>The local end represents the client side of the protocol,
which is usually in the form of language-specific libraries
providing an API on top of the WebDriver <a href=#protocol>protocol</a>.
This specification does not place any restrictions on the details of those libraries
above the level of the wire protocol.
<dt><dfn data-lt="remote ends|remote">Remote end</dfn>
<dd>The remote end hosts the server side of
the <a href=#protocol>protocol</a>. Defining the behavior of
a <a>remote end</a> in response to the WebDriver protocol forms the
largest part of this specification.
</dl>
<p>For <a>remote ends</a> the standard defines two broad conformance
classes, known as <dfn data-lt="node type">node types</dfn>:
<dl>
<dt><dfn data-lt="intermediary nodes">Intermediary node</dfn>
<dd>Intermediary nodes are those that act as proxies, implementing
both the <a>local end</a> and <a>remote end</a> of
the <a href=#protocol>protocol</a>. However they are not expected
to implement <a>remote end steps</a> directly. Nodes between
a specific <a>intermediary node</a> and an <a>endpoint node</a> are
said to be <dfn>upstream</dfn> of the <a>endpoint node</a>.
<dt><dfn>Endpoint node</dfn>
<dd>An endpoint node is the final <a>remote end</a>
in a chain of nodes that is not an <a>intermediary node</a>.
The endpoint node is implemented by a user agent or a similar program.
</dl>
<p>All remote end <a>node types</a> must be black-box indistinguishable
from a <a>remote end</a>, from the point of view of <a>local end</a>,
and so are bound by the requirements on a <a>remote end</a> in terms
of the wire protocol.
<p>
The <dfn>readiness state</dfn> of a <a>remote end</a> indicates
whether it is free to accept new connections. It must be false if the
implementation is an <a>endpoint node</a> and the list of <a>active
HTTP sessions</a> is not empty, or otherwise if the <a>remote end</a> is known to
be in a state in which attempting to create <a>new sessions</a> would
fail. In all other cases it must be true.
<p class=example>If the <a>intermediary node</a> is a multiplexer that
manages multiple <a data-lt="endpoint node">endpoint nodes</a>, this
might indicate its ability to purvey more <a>sessions</a>, for
example if it has hit its maximum capacity.

<section>
<h2>Protocol</h2>
<p>WebDriver <a>remote ends</a> must provide
an <a>HTTP compliant</a> wire protocol
where the <a>endpoints</a> map to different <a>commands</a>.
<p>As this standard only defines the <a>remote end</a> protocol,
it puts no demands to how <a>local ends</a> should be implemented.
<a>Local ends</a> are only expected to be compatible to the extent
that they can speak the <a>remote end</a>'s protocol;
no requirements are made upon their exposed user-facing API.
<section>
<h3>Algorithms</h3>
<p>Various parts of this specification are written in terms of step-by-step algorithms.
The details of these algorithms do not have any normative significance;
implementations are free to adopt any implementation strategy
that produces equivalent output to the specification.
In particular, algorithms in this document are optimized
for readability rather than performance.
<p>Where algorithms that return values are fallible,
they are written in terms of returning either
<dfn class="export">success</dfn> or <dfn class="export">error</dfn>.
A <a>success</a> value has an associated <var>data</var> field
which encapsulates the value returned,
whereas an <a>error</a> value has an associated <a>error code</a>.
<p>When calling a fallible algorithm,
the construct “Let <var>result</var> be the result
of <dfn class="export" data-lt="try">trying</dfn> to call <var>algorithm</var>”
is equivalent to
<ol>
<li><p>Let <var>temp</var> be the result of calling <var>algorithm</var>.
<li><p>If <var>temp</var> is an <a>error</a> return <var>temp</var>,
otherwise let <var>result</var> be <var>temp</var>'s <var>data</var> field.
</ol>
<p>The result of <dfn data-lt="getting properties|getting the
property">getting a property</dfn> with <var>name</var>
from <var>object</var> is defined as being the same as the result of
calling <a>Object.[[\GetOwnProperty]]</a>(<var>name</var>) on <var>object</var>.
<p>The result of <dfn data-lt="getting the property with
default">getting a property with default</dfn> with
arguments <var>name</var> and <var>default</var>
from <var>object</var> is defined as being the same as the result of
calling
<a>Object.[[\GetOwnProperty]]</a>(<var>name</var>)
on <var>object</var> if that results in a value other
than <code>undefined</code> and <var>default</var> otherwise.
<p><dfn data-lt="set a property">Setting a property</dfn> with
arguments <var>name</var> and <var>value</var> on <var>object</var>
is defined as being the same as calling
<a>Object.[[\Put]]</a>(<var>name</var>, <var>value</var>) on <var>object</var>.
<p>The result of <dfn>JSON serialization</dfn> with <var>object</var>
of type JSON <a>Object</a> is defined as the result of
calling <a>stringify</a>(<var>object</var>).
<p>The result of <dfn data-lt="parsing as json">JSON deserialization</dfn> with <var>text</var> is defined as
the result of calling <a>parse</a>(<var>text</var>).
</section> <!-- /Algorithms -->
<section>
<h3>Commands</h3>
<p>
The WebDriver protocol is organized into <a>commands</a>.
Each <a>HTTP request</a> with a method and template defined in this specification
represents a single <dfn data-lt=commands>command</dfn>,
and therefore each command produces a single <a>HTTP response</a>.
<p>
In response to a <a>command</a>,
a <a>remote end</a> will run a series of actions
known as <dfn class="export">remote end steps</dfn>.
These provide the sequences of actions that a <a>remote end</a> takes
when it receives a particular <a>command</a>.
</section>
<section>
<h3>Processing model</h3>
<p>The <a>remote end</a> is an HTTP server
reading requests from the client and writing responses,
typically over a TCP socket.
For the purposes of this specification we model the data transmission between
a particular <a>local end</a> and <a>remote end</a> with a <dfn>connection</dfn>
to which the <a>remote end</a> may <dfn>write bytes</dfn> and <dfn>read bytes</dfn>.
However the exact details of how this <a>connection</a> works
and how it is established are out of scope.
<p>After a <a>connection</a> is established, the <a>remote end</a> must run
the following steps:
<ol>
<li><p>[=iteration/While=] the <a>connection</a> is not closed:</p>
<ol>
<li><p><a>Read bytes</a> from the <a>connection</a> until a
complete <a>HTTP request</a> can be constructed from the data.
Let <var>request</var> be a <a>request</a> constructed from the
received data, according to the requirements of [[RFC7230]]. If it
is not possible to construct a complete <a>HTTP request</a>,
the <a>remote end</a> must either close the <a>connection</a>,
return an HTTP response with status code 500, or return
an <a>error</a> with <a>error code</a> <a>unknown error</a>.
<li><p>Let <var>request match</var> be the result of the algorithm
to <a>match a request</a> with <var>request</var>'s
<a>method</a> and <a>URL</a> as arguments.
<li><p>If <var>request match</var> is of type <a>error</a>,
<a>send an error</a> with <var>request match</var>'s <a>error code</a>
and [=iteration/continue=].
<p>Otherwise, let <var>command</var> and <var>URL variables</var>
be <var>request match</var>'s data.
<li><p>Let <var>session</var> be null.
<li><p>If <var>URL variables</var> [=map/contains=] "<code>session id"</code>:
<p class=note>This condition is intended to exclude the <a>New Session</a> and <a>Status</a>
<a>commands</a> and any <a>extension commands</a> which do not operate on a particular <a>session</a>.
<ol>
<li><p>Let <var>session id</var> be <var>URL variables</var>["<code>session id</code>"].
<li><p>For each <var>active session</var> in the list of <a>active sessions</a>:
<ol>
<li><p>If <var>active session</var>'s <a>session ID</a> is equal
to <var>session id</var>, then let <var>session</var>
be <var>active session</var>, and break.
</ol>
<li><p>If the <var>session</var> is <a><code>null</code></a>
<a>send an error</a> with <a>error code</a> <a>invalid session id</a>,
then [=iteration/continue=].
</ol>
<li><p>Enqueue a task on <a>remote end</a>'s <a>request queue</a> to run the following
steps:
<ol>
<li>If <a>session</a> is no longer in the list of <a>active
sessions</a>, then <a>send an error</a> with <a>error code</a>
<a>invalid session id</a> and return.
<li><p>Let <var>parameters</var> be <a><code>null</code></a>.
<li><p>If <var>request</var>'s <a>method</a> is POST:
<ol>
<li><p>Let <var>parse result</var> be the result of
<a>parsing as JSON</a> with <var>request</var>'s
<a>body</a> as the argument. If this process throws an exception,
return an <a>error</a> with <a>error code</a> <a>invalid
argument</a> and jump back to step 1 in this overall algorithm.
<li><p>If <var>parse result</var> is not an <a>Object</a>,
<a>send an error</a> with <a>error code</a> <a>invalid argument</a>
and jump back to step 1 in this overall algorithm.
<p>Otherwise, let <var>parameters</var> be <var>parse result</var>.
</ol>
<li><p>Let <var>navigate result</var> be the result
of <a>wait for navigation to complete</a> with <var>session</var>.
<li><p>If <var>navigate result</var> is an <a>error</a>,
<a>send an error</a> with <a>error code</a>
equal to <var>navigate result</var>'s <a>error code</a>
and return.
<li><p>Let <var>response result</var> be the return value
obtained by running the <a>remote end steps</a>
for <var>command</var> with <var>session</var>, <var>URL
variables</var>, and <var>parameters</var>.
<li><p>If <var>response result</var> is an <a>error</a>,
<a>send an error</a> with <a>error code</a>
equal to <var>response result</var>'s <a>error code</a>
and return.
<li><p>Assert: <var>response result</var> is a <a>success</a>.
<li><p>Let <var>response data</var> be <var>response result</var>'s data.
<li><p><a>Send a response</a> with status 200 and <var>response data</var>.
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>When required to <dfn>send an error</dfn>, with <var>error
code</var> and an optional <var>error data</var> dictionary,
a <a>remote end</a> must run the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Let <var>status</var> and <var>name</var>
be the <a>error response data</a> for <var>error code</var>.
<li><p>Let <var>message</var> be an implementation-defined string
containing a human-readable description of the reason for the error.
<li><p>Let <var>stacktrace</var> be an implementation-defined string
containing a stack trace report of the active stack frames
at the time when the error occurred.
<p>Let <var>body</var> be a new JSON <a>Object</a>
initialized with the following properties:
<dl>
<dt>"<code>error</code>"
<dd><var>name</var>
<dt>"<code>message</code>"
<dd><var>message</var>
<dt>"<code>stacktrace</code>"
<dd><var>stacktrace</var>
</dl>
<li><p>If the <a>error data</a> dictionary contains any entries,
set the "<code>data</code>" field on <var>body</var>
to a new JSON <a>Object</a> populated with the dictionary.
<li><p><a>Send a response</a> with <var>status</var>
and <var>body</var> as arguments.
</ol>
<p>When required to <dfn>send a response</dfn>,
with arguments <var>status</var> and <var>data</var>,
a <a>remote end</a> must run the following steps:
<ol>
<li><p>Let <var>response</var> be a new <a>response</a>.
<li><p>Set <var>response</var>'s <a>HTTP status</a> to <var>status</var>,
and <a>status message</a> to the string corresponding
to the description of <var>status</var> in the <a>status code registry</a>.
<li><p><a data-lt="set header">Set</a> the <var>response</var>'s <a>header</a>
with <a data-lt="header name">name</a>

<dt><code>Content-Type</code>
<dd>"<code>application/json; charset=utf-8</code>"
<dt><code>Cache-Control</code>
<dd>"<code>no-cache</code>"
</dl>
<li><p>Let <var>response</var>'s <a>body</a> be

<h3>Routing requests</h3>
<p><dfn data-lt="routing requests">Request routing</dfn>
is the process of going from an <a>HTTP request</a>
to the <a data-lt="remote end steps">series of steps</a> needed
to implement the <a>command</a> represented by that request.
<p>A <a>remote end</a> has an associated <dfn>URL prefix</dfn>,
which is used as a prefix on all WebDriver-defined URLs on that <a>remote end</a>.
This must either be <a>undefined</a> or a <a>path-absolute URL</a>.
<aside class=example>
<p>For example a <a>remote end</a> wishing
to run alongside other services on <code>example.com</code>
might set its <a>URL prefix</a> to <code>/wd</code>
so that a <a>new session</a> <a>command</a> would be invoked
by sending a POST request to <code>/wd/session</code>,
rather than <code>/session</code>.
</aside>
<p>In order to <dfn>match a request</dfn> given
a <a><var>method</var></a> and <a><var>URL</var></a>,
the following steps must be taken:
<ol>
<li><p>Let <var>endpoints</var> be a list
containing each row in the <a>table of endpoints</a>.
<li><p>Remove each entry from <var>endpoints</var> for which the
concatenation of the <a>URL prefix</a> and the entry's <a>URI
template</a> does not have a valid expansion equal to
<var>URL</var>'s <a>path</a>.
<li><p>If there are no entries in <var>endpoints</var>,
return <a>error</a> with <a>error code</a> <a>unknown command</a>.
<li><p>Remove each entry in <var>endpoints</var>
for which the <i>method</i> column
is not equal to <var>method</var>.
<li><p>If there are no entries in <var>endpoints</var>,
return <a>error</a> with <a>error code</a> <a>unknown method</a>.
<li><p>There is now exactly one entry in <var>endpoints</var>;
let <var>entry</var> be this entry.
<li><p>Let <var>URI template</var> be the concatenation of <a>URL
prefix</a> with <var>entry</var>'s <var>URI template</var>.
<li><p>Let <var>command</var> be <var>entry</var>'s <a>command</a>.
<li><p>Let <var>URL variables</var> be a <a data-cite=infra>map</a> with one
[=map/entry=] for each variable defined in <var>URI template</var>,
with the entry name equal to the template variable name, and the
entry value being the variable value required to expand the <var>URI
template</var> to match <var>URL</var>'s <a>path</a>.
<li><p>Return <a>success</a> with data
<var>command</var> and <var>URL variables</var>.
