Chromedriver

Dead-simple library to launch a subprocess of the chromedriver. Use at your own risk.

Usage

This crate is only hosted on GitHub for now.

cargo add --git https://github.com/cloud303-cholden/rs-chrome.git

Configuration

The Chrome struct has the following public Default implementation.

Chrome {
    driver_path: "chromedriver",
    server_url: "http://localhost:9515",
    args: &[],
    handle: None,
}

Example

You can run the below example with cargo run --example default. The current behavior is for the chromedriver process to get cleaned up automatically when Chrome is dropped. If this is not behaving as expected, try first running kill $(pidof chromedriver).

use std::time::Duration;

use chrome::Chrome;

#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut chrome = Chrome::default();

    // Spawns the process and returns a result based on the
    // chromedriver server's health
    chrome.spawn(
        Duration::from_secs(1), // Health poll interval
        Duration::from_secs(5), // Health poll timeout
    ).await?;

    // Do stuff

    Ok(())
}
