module selenium-webdriver/opera

Defines a WebDriver client for the Opera web browser (v26+). Before using this module, you must download the latest OperaDriver release and ensure it can be found on your system PATH.

There are three primary classes exported by this module:

1. ServiceBuilder: configures the remote.DriverService that manages the OperaDriver child process.

2. Options: defines configuration options for each new Opera session, such as which proxy to use, what extensions to install, or what command-line switches to use when starting the browser.

3. Driver: the WebDriver client; each new instance will control a unique browser session with a clean user profile (unless otherwise configured through the Options class).

By default, every Opera session will use a single driver service, which is started the first time a Driver instance is created and terminated when this process exits. The default service will inherit its environment from the current process and direct all output to /dev/null. You may obtain a handle to this default service using getDefaultService() and change its configuration with setDefaultService().

You may also create a Driver with its own driver service. This is useful if you need to capture the server's log output for a specific session:

var opera = require('selenium-webdriver/opera');

var service = new opera.ServiceBuilder()
    .loggingTo('/my/log/file.txt')
    .enableVerboseLogging()
    .build();

var options = new opera.Options();
// configure browser options ...

var driver = new opera.Driver(options, service);

Users should only instantiate the Driver class directly when they need a custom driver service configuration (as shown above). For normal operation, users should start Opera using the selenium-webdriver.Builder.
