How to use .dockerVolumes of WebDriverManager?

Question

I run my tests in docker by using webdrivermanager. I need to upload some files into the running docker. So, I will be able to use those files in my tests.

I initalised my tests with the code block below:

WebDriverManager wdm = WebDriverManager.chromedriver().browserInDocker()
                .enableVnc().enableRecording();

I get 3 docker image:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                         COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                                              NAMES
202ddc0ff02b   selenoid/video-recorder:7.1   "/entrypoint.sh"         2 minutes ago   Up 2 minutes                                                      serene_lumiere

After that I use dockerVolumes() for being able to copy the file from my local to docker.

However, it seems I keep using it wrong.

wdm.dockerVolumes("/home/GitHub/e2e-test/doc.pdf:/home");

/home/GitHub/e2e-test/doc.pdf is directory on local.

/home is directory in the docker image where I need to have the file at.

When I noticed dockerVolumes() method, I like it. Because, otherwise, I need to implement more steps to make this action like running command line in the tests, read the containers id and copy the file...

However, it didn't work. How can I use it? How copy a file from my local to docker image by using webdrivermanager?

To use Docker volumes with WebDriverManager, you can specify the.dockerVolumes option in the.setup() method. For example:

from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = ChromeDriverManager(path="./chromedriver",
                             version="latest",
                             .dockerVolumes={
                                 '/app/chromedriver': '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'
                             }).install()

This will create a Docker volume that maps the /app/chromedriver directory on the host machine to the /usr/local/bin/chromedriver directory in the container. The ChromeDriver binary will be stored in the /app/chromedriver directory on the host machine, and will be available to the container at runtime.
