Nutstone.Selenium.Powershell 1.0.10

Nutstone Selenium Powershell

Powershell implementation of Nutstone.Selenium.Core

This package wraps the nutstone.seleniu.core package in a series of powershell cmdlet's. A selenium session is created and the relevant version of the Chrome driver is downloaded and used for the session.

Only the Chrome driver is (currently) supported.

The powershell cmdlets mimic the functionalty of the IWebDriverProxy provider implemented in nutstone.selenium.core
