Title:
Package geckodriver
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Using selenium to drive firefox requires an executable called
geckodriver, which is nowhere to be found in Ubuntu packages. Instead,
all the information I could find on the internet suggests fetching
that executable from upstream and installing it to /usr/local/bin (see
e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/851401/where-to-find-geckodriver-
needed-by-selenium-python-package).
The sources for geckodriver are included in the firefox source tarball, and
the executable is being built when building packages, but it's not installed
anywhere.
I propose to create a new firefox-geckodriver binary package for this
purpose, similar to the chromium-chromedriver package.
For context, I became interested in driving firefox with selenium when
attempting to replicate chromium-browser's autopkgtests
(https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/eoan-
stable/files/head:/debian/tests/).
Upstream documentation for geckodriver: https://firefox-source-
docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/.
