Docker setup instructions for SeleniumBase

1. Install the Docker Desktop:

You can get that from here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/

You might also want to install the Docker Engine: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

2. Go to the SeleniumBase home directory on the command line, which is where Dockerfile is located. (This assumes you've already cloned the SeleniumBase repo.)

3. Create your Docker image from your Dockerfile: (Get ready to wait awhile)

docker build -t seleniumbase .

If running on an Apple M1/M2 Mac, use this instead:

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t seleniumbase .

M1/M2 Mac users should also see StackOverflow.com/a/76586216/7058266 to Enable Rosetta in Docker Desktop. (Otherwise you will encounter errors like this when Chrome tries to launch: "Chrome failed to start: crashed.")

4. Run the example test with Chrome inside your Docker: (Once the test completes after a few seconds, you'll automatically exit the Docker shell)

docker run seleniumbase ./run_docker_test_in_chrome.sh

5. You can also enter Docker and stay inside the shell:

docker run -i -t seleniumbase

6. Now you can run the example test from inside the Docker shell:

./run_docker_test_in_chrome.sh

7. When you're satisfied, you may exit the Docker shell:

exit

8. (Optional) Since Docker images and containers take up a lot of space, you may want to clean up your machine from time to time when they’re not being used:

Details on that can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17236796/how-to-remove-old-docker-containers

Here are a few of those cleanup commands:

docker container prune
docker system prune
docker images | grep "<none>" | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi
docker rm 'docker ps --no-trunc -aq'

If you want to completely remove all of your Docker containers and images, use these commands: (If there's nothing to delete, those commands will return an error.)

docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)
