Apologies if you got a link to the incomplete first attempt at this post. This one is the real deal. It has long been my intention to look at adding multi-platform testing to my set-up, and finally I got my hands on a Mac to see if I could get it working. I am sure that I could easily have got a linux VM up and running in no time, but both my stats for this site, and from gs.statcounter.com…
Being an Open Source project maintainer is a thankless task Ask Jim Evans, the maintainer of the C# (aka dotnet) language bindings for Selenium Webdriver as well as as the Internet Explorer driver that I am sure just about everyone who has ever written a Selenium test has used.

On many websites there are reusable panels that appear on many pages. Many are repeatable blocks within a page and are used in lists such as the article summaries on the homepage. Others occur on many pages throughout a site but are unique within the page such as…
Sorry! I forgot to mention last time that I was having a week off to spend some quality time with my long suffering wife and kids. I have added a fair deal of code, and I don’t plan on explaining all of it here, just the most relevant. Last time, I managed to get dependency injection working, but not in a way that I was at all happy with. My decision to create WebDriverManager classes led me to create a…
