How to use different webdrivers based on environment

Question

I use selenium-jupiter. I am getting a webdriver from method arguments like this:

@Test
public void testWithChrome(ChromeDriver chromeDriver) {
          chromeD

In short: When configuring your Selenium extension programmatically you can force usage of a Selenium Grid by configuring its URL as follows (using JUnit 5 annotations):

abstract class UiTest {

    @RegisterExtension
    static SeleniumExtension seleniumExtension = new SeleniumExtension();     

    @BeforeAll
    static void setUpOnce() {

        boolean isRunningInCiEnvironment = ...

        if( isRunningInCiEnvironment ) {

           // this will force Selenium Jupiter to use a RemoteWebDriver
           seleniumExtension.getConfig().setSeleniumServerUrl("http://...");

        }

        // without above condition, a FirefoxDriver will be used locally
        seleniumExtension.addBrowsers(BrowserBuilder.firefox().build(););

   }       
}


class MyTest extends UiTest {

    // Use WebDriver interface in test method: concrete browser detected
    // at execution time (via @BeforeAll, inherited from parent class)
    @Test
    void my_test_Case(WebDriver webDriver) {

       webDriver.get(...)
       Assert.(...)        
    }
}
