Wanted to share a pretty fun “Plain Old Java App” I wrote today. It’s an extremely helpful implementation of Selenium for those who are just starting out and want a base to build on and expand their knowledge.
I originally wrote this implementation in Python but encountered that more people expect the usage of a traditional programming language.
Below is the README.md from my Github:
# Simple Selenium
An implementation of Selenium that extrapolates some of the more complex features of Selenium Development for development ease.

**Problem:**
- Selenium can be overly complicated sometimes
- Selenium does not build in functions like scrolling the screen or simple xpath searches
**Solution:**
- By extrapolating some of the more complicated functionality up a layer we accomplish:
- Faster Test Case Development Time
- More readable code

# Instructions
**Step 1:**
Clone
**Step 2:**
Ensure your Chrome driver version matches the version of chrome you currently have installed, if not acquire from official Chrome Selenium Site
**Step 3:**
Run "build.sh" file in Git-Bash or Terminal
**Step 4:**
Run "run.sh" file in Git-Bash or Terminal
**Step 5:**
Dive into the code in either Eclipse or your favorite IDE for further learning and customization to your specific needs

You’re a God. I recently setup a full CI/CD pipeline for a Xamarin mobile app, so I’ve been married to bash and PowerShell, webhooks to slack/github/bash email test results(after scraping the results files), code coverage reports, check GitHub branch for conditional smoke/regression testing.
You are a monster at churning out useful tools and information. Love looking at all these great posts. The split tunnel one is impressive af. Miss you man. Hope all is well.
