Overview

Selenium 4.5, released on October 26, 2022, improves Selenium Manager with automatic browser and driver downloads.

Main Features

Automatic download

Selenium Manager automatically downloads the driver compatible with the installed browser, eliminating manual setup.

python 
from selenium import webdriver

# Selenium Manager auto-downloads the driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')
print(f'Title: {driver.title}')
driver.quit()

Improved locators

Relative locators are improved for finding elements relative to other page elements.

python 
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.relative_locator import locate_with

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')

# Relative locator
# element = driver.find_element(
#     locate_with(By.TAG_NAME, 'input').near(
#         driver.find_element(By.ID, 'label')
#     )
# )
driver.quit()
