Workshop: Reactive Browser Testing with WebDriver BiDi
summary
Hands‑on workshop shows WebDriver BiDi used with Selenium 4.35 and Java (Maven) to open a websocket (capability websocketURL=true), subscribe to browser events, and act on them in real time. Demos include capturing console entries (preload scripts to override Math.random), intercepting and mocking network requests and responses, reactive form validation that records 26 console events during a run, and geolocation emulation — all run from the provided starter repo and working live.
