Examples

[TestFixture]
public class Testing
{
    private IWebDriver driver;

    [SetUp]
    public void SetUp()
    {
        driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
    }

    [Test]
    public void TestGoogle()
    {
        driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.co.uk");
        /*
        *   Rest of the test
        */
    }

    [TearDown]
    public void TearDown()
    {
        driver.Quit();
        driver.Dispose();
    }
}

Remarks

When the WebDriver object has been instantiated the browser will load. The test can then navigate to the URL under test and start your test.

Parameters

service InternetExplorerDriverService

The InternetExplorerDriverService to use.

options InternetExplorerOptions

The InternetExplorerOptions used to initialize the driver.

commandTimeout TimeSpan

The maximum amount of time to wait for each command.

InternetExplorerDriver(InternetExplorerOptions)

public InternetExplorerDriver(InternetExplorerOptions options)

Parameters

options InternetExplorerOptions

The InternetExplorerOptions used to initialize the driver.

InternetExplorerDriver(string)

Initializes a new instance of the InternetExplorerDriver class using the specified path to the directory containing IEDriverServer.exe.

public InternetExplorerDriver(string internetExplorerDriverServerDirectory)

Parameters

internetExplorerDriverServerDirectory string

The full path to the directory containing IEDriverServer.exe.

InternetExplorerDriver(string, InternetExplorerOptions)

Initializes a new instance of the InternetExplorerDriver class using the specified path to the directory containing IEDriverServer.exe and options.

public InternetExplorerDriver(string internetExplorerDriverServerDirectory, InternetExplorerOptions options)

Parameters

internetExplorerDriverServerDirectory string

The full path to the directory containing IEDriverServer.exe.

options InternetExplorerOptions

The InternetExplorerOptions used to initialize the driver.

InternetExplorerDriver(string, InternetExplorerOptions, TimeSpan)

Initializes a new instance of the InternetExplorerDriver class using the specified path to the directory containing IEDriverServer.exe, options, and command timeout.

public InternetExplorerDriver(string internetExplorerDriverServerDirectory, InternetExplorerOptions options, TimeSpan commandTimeout)

Parameters

internetExplorerDriverServerDirectory string

The full path to the directory containing IEDriverServer.exe.

options InternetExplorerOptions

The InternetExplorerOptions used to initialize the driver.

commandTimeout TimeSpan

Properties

FileDetector

Gets or sets the IFileDetector responsible for detecting sequences of keystrokes representing file paths and names.

public override IFileDetector FileDetector { get; set; }

Property Value

IFileDetector

Remarks

The IE driver does not allow a file detector to be set, as the server component of the IE driver (IEDriverServer.exe) only allows uploads from the local computer environment. Attempting to set this property has no effect, but does not throw an exception. If you are attempting to run the IE driver remotely, use RemoteWebDriver in conjunction with a standalone WebDriver server.
