Ensure selenium image v4 works

I think Selenium v4 might have deprecated the JSON Wire Protocol and now requires the W3C one, but that will have to be confirmed.

Not sure if this is a Docker HUB v4 issue or Selenium itself (or my bad programming). It looks like it's a wallaby issue since it works with Ruby.

Here is what worked and didn't:
single selenium v4 docker instance with Ruby "selenium-webdriver" - Good
single selenium v4 docker instance with Wallaby - Good
selenium-hub v4 docker-compose with Ruby "selenium-webdriver" - Good
selenium-hub v4 docker-compose with Wallaby - Sub-par results

Start TL;DR;

Wallaby results with v4 hub:
Wallaby.start_session returns :ok but the commands I send to that session fail. The error from the selenium-hub log includes this bit:

..."attributes": {"exception.message": "Unable to execute request for an existing session: Unable to find session with ID: \nBuild info: version: '4.0.0-rc-2',...

My guess is the ID isn't being loaded, stored or sent correctly by Wallaby.

End TL;DR;

To reproduce: From LInux install docker and docker-composer (pacman -S docker docker-composer). Configure docker to use TCP (see: https://gist.github.com/styblope/dc55e0ad2a9848f2cc3307d4819d819f .. if any selenium docker dev guys read this, PLEASE add this note to your README.md)

Create a hub config file in /tmp/config.toml

[docker]                                                                                                                                                                         
configs = [
    "selenium/standalone-firefox:4.0.0-rc-2-prerelease-20210923", "{\"browserName\": \"firefox\"}",
    "selenium/standalone-chrome:4.0.0-rc-2-prerelease-20210923", "{\"browserName\": \"chrome\"}"
    ]

url = "http://172.17.0.1:2375"
video-image = "selenium/video:ffmpeg-4.3.1-20210923"

Create a place to save the sessions (video?):
mkdir /tmp/assets

Create a docker-compose file /tmp/docker-compose-v3-dynamic-grid.yml

version: "3"
services:
  node-docker:
    image: selenium/node-docker:4.0.0-rc-2-prerelease-20210923
    volumes:
      - /tmp/assets:/opt/selenium/assets
      - /tmp/config.toml:/opt/bin/config.toml
    depends_on:
      - selenium-hub
    environment:
      - SE_EVENT_BUS_HOST=selenium-hub
      - SE_EVENT_BUS_PUBLISH_PORT=4442
      - SE_EVENT_BUS_SUBSCRIBE_PORT=4443

  selenium-hub:
    image: selenium/hub:4.0.0-rc-2-prerelease-20210923
    container_name: selenium-hub
    ports:
      - "4442:4442"
      - "4443:4443"
      - "4444:4444"

Start the hub docker-compose -f docker-compose-v3-dynamic-grid.yml up

You can verify the hub is up by checking out http://localhost:4444. Now from an elixir app with wallaby installed.

vi ./config/config.exs

config :wallaby,
  driver: Wallaby.Selenium,
  hackney_options: [timeout: 360_000, recv_timeout: 360_000]

Then form iex fire up a chrome and firefox session.

iex -S mix

{:ok, session1} = Wallaby.start_session(
  remote_url: "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/",
  capabilities: %{browserName: "firefox"}
)    

{:ok, session2} = Wallaby.start_session(
  remote_url: "http://localhost:4444/",
  capabilities: %{
    browserName: "chrome",
  }
)   

Yes, I know one URL has the path /wd/hub/. This was how it worked in v3, but is no longer needed with v4 (optional). I did it each way to test that it's not a path issue.

These will both return {:ok, session}. You should also see two new dynamically created selenium sessions in http://localhost:4444. Now blow it up by running this in iex:

Wallaby.Browser.visit(session1, "https://www.google.com")
Wallaby.Browser.visit(session2, "https://www.yahoo.com")

These will both fail. If you look at the shell running the selenium-hub (via docker-compose) you'll see WARN messages with more details. But I think the key was already pointed out earlier in my message about the ID: being blank.

To see it work, run this


gem install selenium-webdriver
irb


require "selenium-webdriver"

puts "This bit is to fix an issue with WebDriver not being ready for ruby 3.0"
module Selenium
  module WebDriver
    module Remote
      class Bridge
        class << self
          alias_method :original_handshake, :handshake

          def handshake(opts = {})
            original_handshake(**opts)
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

driver_firefox = Selenium::WebDriver.for :remote, url: "http://localhost:4444/", desired_capabilities: :firefox
driver_chrome = Selenium::WebDriver.for :remote, url: "http://localhost:4444/", desired_capabilities: :chrome

driver_firefox.session_id
driver_chrome.session_id

driver_firefox.navigate.to "http://www.google.com"
driver_chrome.navigate.to "http://yahoo.com"

If you want to see that these ruby sessions are working, from http://localhost:4444 find the movie icon on the left of the session ID. Click that. Password is "secret". Should load a VNC of the browser on google or yahoo.

Selenium's v4 hub feature is going to be pretty cool. Especially with elixir's parallel processing ability. I hope we (you) can get this working.

The error described in the OP-linked elixirforum discussion is actually fixed by an existing PR:
#649

I'm not sure if this PR can be merged or not but it would be great if it could. I believe it would fix this issue.

I am going to go through recent PRs in the next week, I can check out this issue as well.

GitHub Actions updated selenium to be v4 and I am trying to get the tests to pass.

Running v4 locally (on my M1 mac) works fine, but for some reason the tests are timing out when attempting to create a session on GitHub Actions.

Anyone have any idea? https://github.com/elixir-wallaby/wallaby/runs/6316788812?check_suite_focus=true

adding more context on this - selenium 4.9.0 was when the json wire protocol was removed. I'm able to run wallaby against selenium standalone 4.8.0 for both chrome and firefox, but not against 4.9.0.
