<p><code>WebDriverAbstract</code> extends <a href="BridgeAbstract.html"><code>BridgeAbstract</code></a> and adds functionality for generating feeds
from active websites that use XMLHttpRequest (XHR) to load content and / or JavaScript to
modify content.
It highly depends on the php-webdriver library which offers Selenium WebDriver bindings for PHP.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/php-webdriver/php-webdriver" class="Link--external" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/php-webdriver/php-webdriver</a> (Project Repository)</li>
<li><a href="https://php-webdriver.github.io/php-webdriver/latest/" class="Link--external" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://php-webdriver.github.io/php-webdriver/latest/</a> (API)</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that this class is intended as a solution for websites <em>that cannot be covered
by the other classes</em>. The WebDriver starts a browser and is therefore very resource-intensive.</p>
<h1><a id="configuration" href="#configuration" class="Permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink">#</a>Configuration</h1>
<p>You need a running WebDriver to use bridges that depend on <code>WebDriverAbstract</code>.
The easiest way is to start the Selenium server from the project of the same name:</p>
<pre><code>docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --shm-size=&quot;2g&quot; docker.io/selenium/standalone-chrome:latest
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium" class="Link--external" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium</a></li>
</ul>
<p>With these parameters only one browser window can be started at a time.
On a multi-user site, Selenium Grid should be used
and the number of sessions should be adjusted to the number of processor cores.</p>
<p>Finally, the <code>config.ini.php</code> file must be adjusted so that the WebDriver
can find the Selenium server:</p>
<pre><code>[webdriver]
selenium_server_url = &quot;http://localhost:4444&quot;
</code></pre>
<h1><a id="development" href="#development" class="Permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink">#</a>Development</h1>
<p>While you are programming a new bridge, it is easier to start a local WebDriver because then you can see what is happening and where the errors are. Ive also had good experience recording the process with a screen video to find any timing problems.</p>
<pre><code>chromedriver --port=4444
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://chromedriver.chromium.org/" class="Link--external" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://chromedriver.chromium.org/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If you start rss-bridge from a container, then Chrome driver is only accessible
if you call it with the <code>--allowed-ips</code> option so that it binds to all network interfaces.</p>
<pre><code>chromedriver --port=4444 --allowed-ips=192.168.1.42
</code></pre>
<p>The <strong>most important rule</strong> is that after an event such as loading the web page
or pressing a button, you often have to explicitly wait for the desired elements to appear.</p>
<p>A simple example is the bridge <code>ScalableCapitalBlogBridge.php</code>.
A more complex and relatively complete example is the bridge <code>GULPProjekteBridge.php</code>.</p>
<h1><a id="template" href="#template" class="Permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink">#</a>Template</h1>
<p>Use this template to create your own bridge.</p>
<pre><code class="language-PHP">&lt;?php
class MyBridge extends WebDriverAbstract
{
const NAME = 'My Bridge';
const URI = 'https://www.example.org';
const DESCRIPTION = 'Further description';
const MAINTAINER = 'your name';

parent::collectData();
