Selenium does support mobile automation, but it requires a few extra steps to get it up and running. First, you need to download and install the Selenium server, which you can find here. Once that’s done, you need to start the server with the following command:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-x.xx.x.jar -role hub
This will start the Selenium server and make it accessible at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub. Next, you need to download and install the Selenium client for your language of choice. For example, if you’re using Python, you can install the Selenium Python client with the following command:
pip install selenium
Once the Selenium client is installed, you can connect to the Selenium server and start running tests. For example, the following Python code will open up a Firefox browser and navigate to the Selenium homepage:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(“http://www.seleniumhq.org”)
With a few extra steps, you can get Selenium up and running for mobile automation.
