Now Available: Selenium 4 Official Release
We are excited to announce you can now run automated tests against the newly released Selenium 4 on Sauce Labs.
What's New in Selenium 4?
New window and tab utilities, relative locators, BiDriectional APIs, Selenium Grid updates, and more. Take a look at our Comprehensive Guide to Selenium 4 for more information.
How to test with Selenium 4 Server?
Use the custom Sauce capability "seleniumVersion" : "4.0.0" . This will start your test with the new Selenium 4 server. Check out our Platforms Configurator on how to update your test capabilities to be Selenium 4 compatible.
Note: We will be updating the default Selenium server version for tests for newer browser versions to Selenium 4 around mid-Q1.
Happy testing Saucers!
saucectl Framework Updates
Sauce Labs is continually adding support for the testing frameworks that run through saucectl -- our test orchestrator CLI. In October 2021, we added support for the following framework versions:
- Cypress 8.6.0. Cypress on Sauce Docs
- Playwright 1.15.2 Playwright on Sauce Docs
- TestCafe 1.16.1. TestCafe on Sauce Docs
In addition, as we move forward to offer the newest features and APIs offered by our supported frameworks, we must also phase out support for older versions that have limited value to our customers. The following versions are deprecated and will no longer be supported as of December 1, 2021:
Cypress: 5.5.0. | 5.6.0. | 6.6.0 | 7.1.0
Playwright: 1.7.1. | 1.10.0 | 1.11.1 | 1.12.3
TestCafe: 1.10.1 | 1.11.0
Please upgrade your frameworks accordingly to take advantage of newly introduced capabilities!
