Get browser version using selenium webdriver

Question

How would I get the browser version being used?

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()
>>> print vers         


        

Answer 1

If your wrapping your WebDriver so that it is EventFiring you'll have to do a custom EventFiringWebDriver implementation.

import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.HasCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.events.EventFiringWebDriver;

public class MyEventFiringWebDriver extends EventFiringWebDriver implements HasCapabilities {

    private RemoteWebDriver driver;

    public MyEventFiringWebDriver(RemoteWebDriver driver) {
        super(driver);
        this.driver = driver;
    }

    @Override
    public Capabilities getCapabilities() {
        return driver.getCapabilities();
    }

}

Just posting because it was a problem I ran across.

If you are using Chrome you can do the following:

driver.capabilities['version']

And if you are using Firefox:

driver.capabilities['browserVersion']
