scroll_to() and scroll_by() functions allow you to scroll the page
vertically and horizontally, without needing a target element.vignette("advanced-usage", package = "selenider"))
has been added.find_each_element() and find_all_elements() are new functions that can
be used to find elements using an element collection. They are designed to
replace elem_flatmap(), which is now deprecated and defunct.element_list() is now deprecated in favour of
as.list.selenider_elements().print_lazy() is now deprecated, as it offers little benefit and is complex
to maintain.ChromoteSession$check_active() is used to make sure that the session is
still active before performing an action.timeout argument to open_url(), back(), forward(), and
reload()/refresh() allows you to specify how long to wait for a page to
load. They default to 60 seconds.Moved all session-specific options in selenider_session() to an option object
(either chromote_options() or selenium_options()), which can be passed to
the new options argument of selenider_session(). This means that a few
arguments to selenider_session() have been deprecated and moved into
option objects. Old code should be changed as follows:
selenider_session(view = TRUE) should be changed to:selenider_session(options = chromote_options(view = TRUE))selenider_session(selenium_manager = FALSE) should be changed to:selenider_session( options = selenium_options(server_options = wdman_server_options()) ) selenider_session(quiet = FALSE) should be changed to:selenider_session(options = selenium_options( server_options = selenium_server_options(verbose = TRUE)) )) Additionally, create_chromote_session(), create_selenium_server(), and
create_selenium_client() are now deprecated. This is because you now
have access to all the options of these functions in the options argument
of selenider_session().
Improved reliability of functions when they use chromote, with help of code from the puppeteer project. Most notably:
elem_click() and friends now work if part of the element is not visible.elem_value() and elem_set_value() now work on a wider variety of
elements, including <select> elements.elem_focus() is a new function that allows you to focus an element.
selenider_session() now uses the withr.hook_source option to ensure
that withr works inside source().
elem_select() is a new function for interacting with <select>/<option>
elements, allowing you to easily select by value, text and index.current_url() returns the URL of the current page.selenider used RSelenium
as a Selenium backend. However, this package did not work with the latest version
of Selenium, or the latest version of Google Chrome. It now uses
selenium, which is compatible
with both. This should make selenider more reliable, and more likely to
work out of the box when using Selenium.print_lazy() to use the previous behaviour when printing.take_screenshot() with file = NULL now views the screenshot correctly.elem_set_value() now correctly invisibly returns its first argument x,
allowing it to be used in a pipeline.find_element() and find_elements() no longer accept the link_text
argument, as this was not working with chromote. Use elem_find() or
elem_filter() instead.elem_get_value() now uses the JavaScript value property of an element,
not the "value" attribute, meaning that it works in more cases.
