I'm using Python for testing on AWS device farm. It seems that starting a selenium takes very very long. This is the code I use:
from time import time
from boto3 import client
from selenium import webdriver
def main():
start = time()
device_farm_client = client("devicefarm", region_name='us-west-2')
test_grid_url_response = device_farm_client.create_test_grid_url(
expiresInSeconds=666,
projectArn="arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:..."
)
driver = webdriver.Remote(
command_executor=test_grid_url_response['url'],
desired_capabilities=webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME,
)
driver.get('https://api.ipify.org')
print(f"Your IP is: {driver.find_element_by_tag_name('pre').text}")
driver.quit()
print(f"took: {time() - start:.2f}")
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Output:
Your IP is: 100.10.10.111
took: 99.89s
Using existing selenium-hub infrastructure the IP is obtained in less than 2 seconds!
Is there any way how to reduce the time radically?
