Hi stranger,
You need to follow all the pre-requisites : install npm
and nvm
, and then have a driver available, personally, I'm using the chromedriver
❯ chromedriver
Starting ChromeDriver 114.0.5735.90 (386bc09e8f4f2e025eddae123f36f6263096ae49-refs/branch-heads/5735@{#1052}) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.
ChromeDriver was started successfully.
Once you have that, I created a (project) directory where I saved all my Selenium IDE tests (.side files), I used the local approach:
npm install @instana/synthetic-browser-script --save-dev
Note that the local approach uses npx
npx synb --help
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
-v, --version Show version number [boolean]
-f, --file run test script
[string] [default: "./user-script/index.js"]
-b, --browser chrome|firefox [string] [default: "chrome"]
--enableRecording whether to enable recording true|false
[boolean] [default: false]
--verbose set verbose level, [-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3]. mapping {"erro
r": -2, "warn": -1, "info": 0, "log": 1, "debug": 2, "t
race": 3} [number] [default: 0]
--loglevel user script console log level, ["debug", "log", "info",
"warn", "error"] [string] [default: "log"]
--winsize window size [string] [default: ""]
--delay delay metric collector [boolean] [default: false]
--url url for ping test [string] [default: ""]
--side run selenium side script [boolean] [default: false]
--noxvfb disable xvfb [boolean] [default: false]
And now you follow the Example Number 5
❯ npx synb -b chrome --side -f Ibmtest.side

... and it seems like I should be able to use Selenium scripts in the Synthetic monitoring, but I'm not quite getting how to do this ... has anyone tried this?
