This module should be used in acceptance tests, see levels of testing for more information.

This module extends the WebDriver module adding WordPress-specific configuration parameters and methods.

The module simulates a user interaction with the site with Javascript support; if you don't need to test your project with Javascript support use the WPBrowser module.

Module requirements for Codeception 4.0+

This module requires the codeception/module-webdriver Composer package to work when wp-browser is used with Codeception 4.0.

To install the package run:

composer require --dev codeception/module-webdriver:^1.0
