Balin is a browser automation library for Kotlin. It's basically aSelenium-WebDriver wrapper inspired by Geb.

Since I wrote Balin a couple of years ago, I have not had the opportunity towork under Kotlin's umbrella, much less use Balin itself. Thus, time has passedand the library has gotten dust, cobwebs and the like. Be aware of the fact thedependencies are already quite outdated and it's quite probable I'm not gonna bearound updating dependencies or fixing unit tests. You're more than welcome topeek around and even use Balin, but there's no garantes of this librarykeeping up-to-date for modern developing/use. Heck, even JCenter doesn't existanymore at this point.

Geb is a wonderful library that allows its users exploit the power of theSelenium-WebDriver API with incredible ease. As a software developer who spendsa lot of time working with browser automation, I've been lucky enough to workwith Geb and am now learning Kotlin. I'm taking this chance to learn this newJVM-based language and to contribute to its ecosystem a tool that's very usefulto me.

If you're curious about how to use this library, you can check out thefollowing examples

TheBalin-Cucumber-TestNg-Alluretemplate can be of help in order to avoid the boilerplate required for Balin'sintegration with the most common frameworks used in software testing.

JavaDoc and KDoc versions of Balin's API documentation can be found in thefollowing locations:

• Java API
• Kotlin API

<dependencies>  <dependency>    <groupId>com.github.epadronu</groupId>    <artifactId>balin</artifactId>    <version>0.4.2</version>    <type>pom</type>  </dependency></dependencies>

dependencies {  compile'com.github.epadronu:balin:0.4.2'}repositories {  jcenter()}

This project has been conceived for research purposes but I don't dismiss thepossibility of making it a production-ready library if it gets to that point.

Like Kotlin,Balin is released under version 2.0 of theApache License.
