Browser automation in Clojure

This project show-cases how you can use a pure clojure REPL driven approach to browser automation.

Salient features of the project

• Utilizes the native clojure implementation of webdriver protocol (doesn’t rely upon selenium) via etaoin library.

• Uses simplified dependency management via tools.deps for clojure.

Setting up the config file

{:username     "myUserName"
 :password     "myPassword"
 :path-driver  "/usr/local/bin/geckodriver"
 :path-browser "/Applications/Firefox Developer Edition.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox"}
