A pure Clojure implementation of the Webdriver protocol, named after Etaoin Shrdlu — a typing machine that came to life after a mysterious note was produced on it.
Use the Etaoin library to automate a browser, test your frontend behaviour, simulate human actions or whatever you want.
-
Selenium-free: no big dependencies, no tons of downloaded jars, etc.
-
Lightweight, fast. Simple, easy to understand.
-
Compact: just one main namespace with a couple of helpers.
-
Currently supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
-
Can either connect to a remote WebDriver process, or have Etaoin launch one for you.
-
Run your unit tests directly from Emacs by pressing
C-t tas usual. -
Can imitate human-like behaviour (delays, typos, etc).

Eatoin uses: major.minor.patch-test-qualifier
-
majorincrements when a non alpha release API has been majorly broken - something, as a rule, we’d like to avoid. -
minorincrements to convey significant new features have been added or minor breakage. -
patchindicates bug fixes or minor changes - it is the total number of releases to date. -
test-qualifieris absent for stable releases. Can bealpha,beta,rc1, etc.
Etaoin is open for your improvements and ideas. If any of the unit tests fail on your machine, please submit an issue giving your OS version, browser, and console output.
