Core Components

WebDriver Manager

Handles browser driver creation, configuration, and lifecycle management with support for:

  • Chrome and Firefox browsers
  • Headless and headed modes
  • Proxy configuration
  • Audio testing optimizations
Session Manager

Manages browser sessions with features like:

  • Concurrent session pooling
  • Automatic cleanup of idle sessions
  • Session health monitoring
  • Metrics collection
Navigation Tools

Provides comprehensive navigation capabilities:

  • URL validation and safety checks
  • Multiple wait conditions
  • Timeout handling
  • Error recovery

Error Handling

The server implements comprehensive error handling with specific error codes:

  • E001: Session errors (creation, management failures)
  • E002: Navigation errors (URL access, page loading issues)
  • E003: Timeout errors (operation timeouts)
  • E004: Validation errors (invalid parameters)
  • E005: WebDriver errors (driver issues)
  • E006: Configuration errors (setup problems)
  • E007: Concurrency errors (session limits)

Each error includes:

  • Detailed error message
  • Troubleshooting suggestions
  • Error code for programmatic handling
  • Original error context

Security

URL Validation

  • Only HTTP and HTTPS protocols allowed
  • URL format validation
  • Optional domain whitelisting/blacklisting

Input Sanitization

  • All parameters validated using Zod schemas
  • SQL injection and XSS prevention
  • File path traversal protection

Session Security

  • Session isolation
  • Automatic cleanup
  • Resource limit enforcement

Testing

Running Tests

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Run specific test file
npm test navigation.test.ts

# Run tests in watch mode
npm test -- --watch

Test Coverage

The project maintains >80% test coverage across:

  • Unit tests for all tool functions
  • Integration tests for session management
  • Error scenario testing
  • Edge case validation

Mocking

Tests use comprehensive mocking for:

  • Selenium WebDriver
  • File system operations
  • Network requests
  • External dependencies

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Browser Driver Issues
Error: SessionError (E001): Browser session creation failed

Solutions:

  • Ensure Chrome/Firefox is installed
  • Check WebDriver compatibility with browser version
  • Verify system has sufficient resources
Navigation Timeouts
Error: TimeoutError (E003): Navigation timeout after 30000ms

Solutions:

  • Increase timeout value
  • Check network connectivity
  • Verify target website is accessible
  • Use 'domcontentloaded' wait condition for faster pages
Session Limits
Error: ConcurrencyError (E007): Maximum concurrent sessions limit reached

Solutions:

  • Close unused sessions
  • Increase MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS
  • Implement session queuing

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting:

LOG_LEVEL=debug npm start

Development

Code Quality

  • TypeScript strict mode enabled
  • ESLint and Prettier configuration
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • Detailed logging
