Add Chrome Driver to Selenium

Steps

In short, just do what you have done in Add Chrome Driver to Selenium , just replace chrome driver with opera driver and probably need to specify more params.

Similar for remote driver.

0. Install Opera

1. Download and extract operachromiumdriver from operachromiumdriver/releases

2. Change mode
Probably need to run command below after extracted opera driver since it is not executable by default

# make opera driver executable
chmod +x operadriver

3. Write another start script for opera on remote Windows
Just change

-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver

to the path of opera driver, and also use different port so can run it with chrome one.

For more information, please refer to startOpera.bat, you can run it by double-clicking start.bat / startOpera.bat on Windows, currently it uses 64 bit opera driver.

4. Write test case

Refer to add_opera_driver_test.rb
