A re-implementation of Testcontainer Selenium/WebDriver with the following improvements:

• It uses Selenium's video recorder
  • Doesn't require VNC
    • No VNC Server started in the browser container (unless explicitly stated) → Saves memory
  • Uses Selenium's implementation and isn't based on some python code from 2010
    • Way more customization options for e.g. framerate, codec, preset ...
    • Uses mkv as default recording format
      • wider support in comparison to flv
      • mkv allows incomplete recordings without file corruption
    • Renders while saving the video (not when finished which takes additional time)
  • Stops the recorder before saving the file so that there is no way that it runs forever.
• Automatically tries to select a alternative Selenium version for the docker image if it doesn't exist.
• Added support for NoVNC so that no dedicated VNC client is required
• Improved creation of video filenames
• Removed hard dependency on Selenium-Java.
  Only required when using CapabilitiesBrowserWebDriverContainer
• Everything can be @Overriden if required
• Caches "Selenium version detection via classpath" so that it's not invoked everytime you build a new container

Usage is very similar to Testcontainers default implementation.

Make sure to remove the original Testcontainer Webdrivers dependency to avert any mix ups while using the library. For more information take a look at our demo.

In version 2 .mp4 was replaced with .mkv as the default video container format.
This was done because .mp4 requires finalization as otherwise the file/container will be consider corrupt. .mkv has no such problems.

Most video players (including browsers) can play .mkv files out of the box.
