# Selenium WebDriver Browser Automation Framework

Selenium is the long-running open source browser automation framework behind the W3C WebDriver standard. It gives agents and developers a stable way to drive Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge across multiple languages and execution environments.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install -r py/requirements_lock.txt

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- As an alternative you can build a [Dev Container](https://containers.dev/) - basically a docker container -
- #### Using Docker Image
- You can also build a Docker image suitable

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- to make sure this isn't required in the long run.
- Often we wrap Bazel commands with our custom [Rake](http://rake.rubyforge.org/) wrapper. These are run with the ./go command.
- bazel run — builds the target and then executes it.
