I was looking for a java script based web automation framework and came across WebdriverJS

In the home page it says the following .

✔ Provides over 50 useful actions to operate with your application

✔ Supports selenium tests in the cloud

✔ Compatible to all NodeJS test frameworks

It doesnt really say how does it stand when compared to the full features of the original selenium webdriver , questions like -

1. are all the selenium apis mapped yet

2. what am I going to miss if I decide to use it instead of selenium webdriver ?

3. any other comparison with selenium or any other web automation frameworks

Note : I am not looking from a cloud testing point of view, just need a tool that I can use in my desktop to automate some test cases for HTML based websites

Answer 1

1. Currently not all but most of the JSONWire protocol commands are implemented (~90%). Missing ones like local_storage, application_cache will be implemented within v2.0.0 which will get released within the next 2 or 3 weeks (hopefully)

2. Depends on what do expect.

3. see https://github.com/camme/webdriverjs/issues/138#issuecomment-32051980
