Predefined Capability Sets

When you execute a Selenium test in webmate, you can use the capability wm:capabilitySet to activate a predefined set of capabilities.

These sets contain assignments for frequently used combinations of capabilities, e.g. the latest chrome version on a Windows 11 machine.

Currently, the following capability sets are available:

Capability Set	Capability Assignments	Description
`chrome-latest`	browserName: Chrome version: 126 platform: WINDOWS_11_64	Use the most recent version of Google Chrome on Windows 11.
`firefox-latest`	browserName: Firefox version: 124 platform: WINDOWS_11_64	Use the most recent version of Firefox on Windows 11.
`edge-latest`	browserName: Edge version: 126 platform: WINDOWS_11_64	Use the most recent version of Edge on Windows 11.
`safari-latest`	browserName: Safari version: 17 platform: MACOS_MONTEREY_64	Use the most recent version of Safari on macOS Monterey.

Overwriting Predefined Capabilities

Capabilities that are specified using capability sets can be overwritten. The chrome-latest set defines a WINDOWS_11_64 target platform. Explicitly setting the platform capability overwrites this. The test will then run on a different operating system.

Example: The following capability specification

caps.setCapability("wm:capabilitySet", "chrome-latest");
caps.setCapability("platformName", "MACOS_MONTEREY_64");
caps.setCapability("wm:apikey", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=");
caps.setCapability("wm:project", "7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx");

results in the following effective capabilities:

{
  "browserName": "Chrome",
  "browserVersion": 91,
  "platformName": "MACOS_MONTEREY_64",
  "wm:apikey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=",
  "wm:project": "7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx"
}
