This is an implementation of the
[WebDriver BiDi](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi/) protocol with some
extensions (**BiDi+**)
for Chromium, implemented as a JavaScript layer translating between BiDi and CDP,
running inside a Chrome tab.

Current status can be checked
at [WPT WebDriver BiDi status](https://wpt.fyi/results/webdriver/tests/bidi).

## BiDi+

**"BiDi+"** is an extension of the WebDriver BiDi protocol. In addition to [WebDriver BiDi](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi/) it has:

### Command `cdp.sendCommand`

```cddl
CdpSendCommandCommand = {
  method: "cdp.sendCommand",
  params: ScriptEvaluateParameters,
}

CdpSendCommandParameters = {
   method: text,
   params: any,
   session?: text,
}

CdpSendCommandResult = {
   result: any,
   session: text,
}
```

The command runs the
described [CDP command](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol)
and returns the result.

### Command `cdp.getSession`

```cddl
CdpGetSessionCommand = {
   method: "cdp.sendCommand",
   params: ScriptEvaluateParameters,
}

CdpGetSessionParameters = {
   context: BrowsingContext,
}

CdpGetSessionResult = {
   session: text,
}
```

The command returns the default CDP session for the selected browsing context.

### Events `cdp`

```cddl
CdpEventReceivedEvent = {
   method: "cdp.<CDP Event Name>",
   params: CdpEventReceivedParameters,
}

CdpEventReceivedParameters = {
   event: text,
   params: any,
   session: text,
}
```

The event contains a CDP event.

### Field `channel`

Each command can be extended with a `channel`:

```cddl
Command = {
   id: js-uint,
   channel?: text,
   CommandData,
   Extensible,
}
```

If provided and non-empty string, the very same `channel` is added to the response:

```cddl
CommandResponse = {
   id: js-uint,
   channel?: text,
   result: ResultData,
   Extensible,
}

ErrorResponse = {
  id: js-uint / null,
  channel?: text,
  error: ErrorCode,
  message: text,
  ?stacktrace: text,
  Extensible
}
```

When client uses
commands [`session.subscribe`](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi/#command-session-subscribe)
and [`session.unsubscribe`](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi/#command-session-unsubscribe)
with `channel`, the subscriptions are handled per channel, and the corresponding
`channel` filed is added to the event message:

```cddl
Event = {
  channel?: text,
  EventData,
  Extensible,
}
```

## Dev Setup

### `npm`

This is a Node.js project, so install dependencies as usual:

```sh
npm install
```

### `cargo`

<!-- TODO(jrandolf): Remove after binaries get published -->

We use [cddlconv](https://github.com/google/cddlconv) to generate our WebDriverBidi types before building.

1.  Install [Rust](https://rustup.rs/).
2.  Run `cargo install --git https://github.com/google/cddlconv.git cddlconv`

### pre-commit.com integration

Refer to the documentation at [.pre-commit-config.yaml](.pre-commit-config.yaml).

### Starting the Server

This will run the server on port `8080`:

```sh
npm run server
```

Use the `PORT=` environment variable or `--port=` argument to run it on another port:

```sh
PORT=8081 npm run server
npm run server -- --port=8081
```

Use the `DEBUG` environment variable to see debug info:

```sh
DEBUG=* npm run server
```

Use the CLI argument `--headless=false` to run browser in headful mode:

```sh
npm run server -- --headless=false
```

Use the `CHANNEL=...` environment variable or `--channel=...` argument with one of
the following values to run the specific Chrome channel: `stable`,
`beta`, `canary`, `dev`.

The requested Chrome version should be installed.

```sh
CHANNEL=dev npm run server
npm run server -- --channel=dev
```

Use the CLI argument `--verbose` to have CDP events printed to the console. Note: you have to enable debugging output `bidi:mapper:debug:*` as well.

```sh
DEBUG=bidi:mapper:debug:* npm run server -- --verbose
```

or

```sh
DEBUG=* npm run server -- --verbose
```

### Starting on Linux and Mac

TODO: verify it works on Windows.

You can also run the server by using `npm run server`. It will write
output to the file `log.txt`:

```sh
npm run server -- --port=8081 --headless=false
```

## Running

### Unit tests

Running:

```sh
npm run unit
```

### E2E tests

The E2E tests are written using Python, in order to learn how to eventually do
this in web-platform-tests.

### Installation

Python 3.6+ and some dependencies are required:

```sh
python3 -m pip install --user -r tests/requirements.txt
```

### Running

The E2E tests require BiDi server running on the same host. By default, tests
try to connect to the port `8080`. The server can be run from the project root:

```sh
npm run e2e  # alias to to e2e-headless
npm run e2e-headful
npm run e2e-headless
```

Use the `PORT` environment variable to connect to another port:

```sh
PORT=8081 npm run e2e
```

### Examples

Refer to [examples/README.md](examples/README.md).

## WPT (Web Platform Tests)

WPT is added as
a [git submodule](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules). To get run
WPT tests:

### Check out and setup WPT

#### 1. Check out WPT

```sh
git submodule update --init
```

#### 2. Go to the WPT folder

```sh
cd wpt
```

#### 3. Set up virtualenv

Follow the [_System
Setup_](https://web-platform-tests.org/running-tests/from-local-system.html#system-setup)
instructions.

#### 4. Setup `hosts` file

Follow
the [`hosts` File Setup](https://web-platform-tests.org/running-tests/from-local-system.html#hosts-file-setup)
instructions.

##### 4.a On Linux, macOS or other UNIX-like system

```sh
./wpt make-hosts-file | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
```

##### 4.b On **Windows**

This must be run in a PowerShell session with Administrator privileges:

```sh
python wpt make-hosts-file | Out-File $env:SystemRoot\System32\drivers\etc\hosts -Encoding ascii -Append
```

If you are behind a proxy, you also need to make sure the domains above are excluded
from your proxy lookups.

#### 5. Set `BROWSER_BIN`

Set the `BROWSER_BIN` environment variable to a Chrome, Edge or Chromium binary to launch.
For example, on macOS:

```sh
# Chrome
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary"
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome Dev.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Dev"
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome Beta.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Beta"
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium"

# Edge
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Microsoft Edge Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge Canary"
export BROWSER_BIN="/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge"
```

### Run WPT tests

#### 1. Make sure you have Chrome Dev installed

https://www.google.com/chrome/dev/

#### 2. Build Chromedriver BiDi

Oneshot:

```sh
npm run build
```

Continuously:

```sh
npm run build --watch
```

#### 3. Run

```sh
npm run wpt -- webdriver/tests/bidi/
```

### Update WPT expectations if needed

```sh
UPDATE_EXPECTATIONS=true npm run wpt -- webdriver/tests/bidi/
```

## How does it work?

The architecture is described in the
[WebDriver BiDi in Chrome Context implementation plan](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VfQ9tv0wPSnb5TI-MOobjoQ5CXLnJJx9F_PxOMQc8kY)
.

There are 2 main modules:

1. backend WS server in `src`. It runs webSocket server, and for each ws connection
   runs an instance of browser with BiDi Mapper.
2. front-end BiDi Mapper in `src/bidiMapper`. Gets BiDi commands from the backend,
   and map them to CDP commands.

### Contributing

The BiDi commands are processed in the `src/bidiMapper/commandProcessor.ts`. To add a
new command, add it to `_processCommand`, write and call processor for it.

### Publish new `npm` release

#### Automatic release

We use [release-please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please) to automate releases. When a release should be done, check for the release PR in our [pull requests](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chromium-bidi/pulls) and merge it.

#### Manual release

1. Dry-run

   ```sh
   npm publish --dry-run
   ```

1. Open a PR bumping the chromium-bidi version number in `package.json` for review:

   ```sh
   npm version patch -m 'chore: Release v%s' --no-git-tag-version
   ```

   Instead of `patch`, use `minor` or `major` [as needed](https://semver.org/).

1. After the PR is reviewed, [create a GitHub release](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chromium-bidi/releases/new) specifying the tag name matching the bumped version.
   Our CI then automatically publishes the new release to npm based on the tag name.

#### Roll into Chromium

This section assumes you already have a Chromium set-up locally,
and knowledge on [how to submit changes to the repo](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/main/docs/contributing.md).
Otherwise submit an issue for a project maintainer.

1. Create a new branch in chromium `src/`.
2. Update the mapper version:

```shell
third_party/bidimapper/pull.sh
third_party/bidimapper/build.sh
```

3. Submit a CL with bug `chromedriver:4226`.
4. [Regenerate WPT expectations metadata](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/testing/web_platform_tests_wptrunner.md#updating-expectations):

4.1. Trigger a build and test run:

```shell
third_party/blink/tools/blink_tool.py update-metadata --build="linux-blink-rel"
```

4.2. Once the test completes on the builder, rerun that command to update the metadata.
Commit the changes (if any), and upload the new patch to the CL.

5. Add appropriate reviewers or comment the CL link on the PR.
