Selenium 3.x and check_selenium

[davidjames]

Curious to know if anyone has made any progress modifying check_selenium or constructing their own selenium check to interface with Selenium 3.x. Anyone?

@davidjames, We haven't as far as I know. But I'd recommend asking this question on a Developers git hub page:

For simple "is this site working" checks, I found CasperJS to be much easier to work with:

The setup and maintenance of a single PhantomJS binary is much easier to manage than a Selenium node/grid. Obviously a Selenium grid has benefits if you're running thousands of tests.

I meant to do a Core/XI write-up for it, but never got around to finishing it. That plugin is very raw as of this post, but it will execute CasperJS tests and alert you if they fail.

Selenium is great (we use it at work for regression tests), but moving in the direction of being a one-stop-shop for enterprise testing of web applications rather than something used for simple monitoring.

Thanks @mcapra! OP, did you have any other questions?
