David Burns: Who wants to be an alpha tester for Marionette?

Are you an early adopter type? Are you an avid user of WebDriver and want to use the latest and great technology? Then you are most definitely in luck.

Marionette, the Mozilla implementation of the FirefoxDriver, is ready for a very limited outing. There is a lot of things that have not been implemented or, since we are implementing things agains the WebDriver Specification they might not have enough prose to implement (This has been a great way to iron out spec bugs).

Getting Started

At the moment, since things are still being developed and we are trying to do things with new technologies (like writing part this project using Rust) we are starting out with supporting Linux and OS X first. Windows support will be coming in the future!

Getting the driver

We have binaries that you can download. For Linux and for OS X . The only bindings currently updated to work are the python bindings that are available in a branch on my fork of the Selenium project. Do the following to get it into a virtualenv:

Create a virtualenv
activate your virtualenv
cd to where you have cloned my repository
In a terminal type the following: ./go py_install

Running tests

Running tests against marionette requires that you do the following changes (which hopefully remains small)

Update the desired capability to have marionette:true and add binary:/path/to/Firefox/DeveloperEdition/or/Nightly. We are only supporting those two versions of at the moment because we have had a couple in compatible issues that we have fixed which means speaking to Marionette in the browser in the beta or release versions quite difficult.

Since you are awesome early adopters it would be great if we could raise bugs. I am not expecting everything to work but below is a quick list that I know doesn't work.
