Tizen WebDriver Server

A WebDriver server for Tizen devices, implementing the subset of the WebDriver protocol necessary for Karma. Add Tizen devices to your Selenium grid!

Part of the Generic WebDriver Server family.

Installation

npm install --save-dev generic-webdriver-server tizen-webdriver-server

Because Docker images may take significant time to download the first time they are used by the server, you may want to pre-fetch the image you'll be using. This command will fetch the default image:

docker pull gcr.io/generic-webdriver-server/tizen-studio-tv-3.0

Usage

First, please refer to the "Setup" doc for Generic WebDriver Server. That will explain how to set up Selenium to talk to Generic WebDriver Servers, as well as how to set server parameters.

In the command-line for the Selenium node, set the following Java system properties:

• genericwebdriver.browser.name: We recommend the value "tizen". See also notes in the "Setup" doc.
• genericwebdriver.backend.exe: The path to the executable, such as node_modules/tizen-webdriver-server/tizen-webdriver-server.js
• genericwebdriver.backend.params.hostname: The hostname or IP address of the Tizen device, with optional port number. If omitted, this must be provided in the client's desired capabilities instead. (See below.)
• genericwebdriver.backend.params.wake-on-lan-address: The ethernet address of the Tizen device, to wake it in case it is sleeping at the beginning of the session. Optional, but highly recommended. NOTE: This will only work over wired ethernet connections, not WiFi!

Supported parameters

This backend supports the following parameters:

• hostname: (required) The hostname or IP address of the Tizen device, with optional port number.
• wake-on-lan-address: The ethernet address of the Tizen device, to wake it in case it is sleeping at the beginning of the session. Optional, but highly recommended. NOTE: This will only work over wired ethernet connections, not WiFi!
• local-tizen-studio: If true, use a locally-installed copy of Tizen Studio instead of a Docker image.
• tizen-studio-docker-image: The name of a Docker image to use for Tizen Studio. Defaults to an image provided by us which includes the TV 3.0 SDK.
• tizen-studio-path: The path to the installation of Tizen Studio, either locally or within a Docker image. The default is appropriate for the Docker images we provide.
• tizen-studio-author-profile: The name of a pre-existing author profile to use when signing the temporary application deployed to the Tizen device. The default is appropriate for the Docker images we provide.

How it works

See how-it-works.md for details.

Tunneling to a Tizen device on another network

See tunneling.md for details.

Tizen Studio Docker Images

We provide public Docker images for Tizen Studio which are used by default. Downloading or building these locally will use about 3.2GB of disk space (as of July 2020).

To learn more about the Docker images, see how-it-works.md and the tizen-studio-docker/ folder.

Using the CLI

In addition to running a Tizen node in Selenium, this package offers a CLI for directing a Tizen device to a specific URL. For example, if installed globally with npm install -g tizen-webdriver-server:

tizen-webdriver-cli --hostname=192.168.1.42 \
  --url=https://shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/demo/
