WebTools (formerly WebUnit)

Note for existing users of this package: As of March 2, 2018 I am renaming this package from WebUnit to WebTools to avoid naming conflicts with future releases of the Wolfram Language (which will include parts of the WebUnit functionality).

WebTools is a package written in the Wolfram Language which automates interaction with a web browser using the JSON wire protocol.

Supported functionality includes:

  • Starting and stopping a web browser
  • Opening web pages and switching to web pages in different browser tabs
  • Typing in input fields and clicking links
  • Reading web page content and taking screen shots
  • Executing javascript in the current browser session and returning javascript function results

To install this package:

  • Navigate to the 'Releases' area of this repository: https://github.com/arnoudbuzing/webtools/releases
  • Download the most recent WebTools-x.y.z.paclet file from this page
  • Start the Wolfram Language and evaluate the following command (replacing x.y.z with the actual version digits):

PacletInstall["<path to downloads>/WebTools-x.y.z.paclet"]

Then, open the usage.nb notebook to see basic usage for the supported functions.
