HtmlUnitDriver is a WebDriver compatible driver for the HtmlUnit headless browser.
Please have a look at the HtmlUnit Remote project if you like to use this driver from Selenium 4 Grid.
An overview of the different versions, the HtmlUnit version used in each case and the compatibility can be found in these tables.
Simply add a dependency on the latest htmlunit3-driver
version available in the Maven Central.
Add to your pom.xml
:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.seleniumgroupId>
<artifactId>htmlunit3-driverartifactId>
<version>4.26.0version>
dependency>
Add to your build.gradle
:
implementation group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'htmlunit3-driver', version: '4.26.0'
You can simply use one of the constructors from the HtmlUnit driver class
// simple case - no javascript support
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
// specify the browser - no javascript support
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX);
// simple case - javascript support enabled
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(true);
// specify the browser - javascript support enabled
WebDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX, true);
HtmlUnit offers many customization options. Similar to the other WebDriver's the class HtmlUnitDriverOptions can be used to customize your HtmlUnit driver.
final HtmlUnitDriverOptions driverOptions = new HtmlUnitDriverOptions(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX);
// configure e.g.
driverOptions.setCapability(HtmlUnitOption.optThrowExceptionOnScriptError, false);
HtmlUnitDriver webDriver = new HtmlUnitDriver(driverOptions);
// use the driver
