Running on Local Browsers

Testplane is now able to automatically download browsers for running tests locally. Enjoy a hassle-free start with --local option if you don't need remote browser grid.

Previously, Testplane with the webdriver automation protocol could only be launched locally with a manually started selenium-standalone. Now, it is enough to specify gridUrl: "local" in the Testplane Config or run tests with the CLI option --local. In this case, if necessary, the corresponding browsers and web drivers will be downloaded before running the tests, and they will also be launched for further use in these tests.

You can also download the browsers and their web drivers separately using the install-deps command.
