Just a quickie tonight. Part of the reason for writing anything in Java is its ability to run on many devices. Before I move on from Java to dotnet and C# there are a couple of things to complete. In principle it should be no problem to call gradle to run my tests on both Linux and Macos. I’m going to cheat a little with Linux by running on Ubuntu on the Windows Subsystem for Linux. While we are at…
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 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…
