从Selenium会话接管浏览器

Question

I'm not sure if there is a term for what I'm trying to do. I currently have a test suite using codeception for a php application. What I would like to do is be able to either of the following:

• watch the browser automation in an actual browser
• take over the browser at a specific point ( Sort of like a hand over from the script to the browser to allow me to continue to run a session )

Is this possible? If so what is it called in the selenium documentation

Answer 1

a) Selenium runs the actual browser and you can see what it is doing unless you configured Selenium to run some headless browser (but I don't know anything about headless browsers supported by Selenium);

b) Use Codeception's pauseExecution method to stop execution at specific point.

Documentation:

Pauses test execution in debug mode. To proceed test press “ENTER” in console.

This method is useful while writing tests, since it allows you to inspect the current page in the middle of a test case.
