🔮 Console Scripts 🔮

SeleniumBase console scripts help you get things done, such as getting web drivers, creating a test directory with useful files, activating the SeleniumBase Recorder, launching the SeleniumBase Commander, translating tests into other languages, running a Selenium Grid, and more.

  • Usage: seleniumbase [COMMAND] [PARAMETERS]

  • (simplified): sbase [COMMAND] [PARAMETERS]

  • To list all commands: seleniumbase --help

(For running tests, use pytest with SeleniumBase.)
