[Feature]: Selenium/BrowserWebDriver - Get rid of your VNC recorder and use Selenium's video recorder

Module

Selenium

Problem

There are multiple open problems with the VNC recorder:

• https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/discussions/6229
• https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/issues/5024
• https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/issues/5268
• https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/issues/4380

Additionally:

• the recorder requires VNC
• The VNC recording code is based on some python code from 2010 and looks outdated
• Requires rendering after the recording -> Needs time to stop the test

Solution

Use Selenium's video recorder

We implemented this along with some additional improvements and cleanup efforts in an open source library.

Benefit

Described in https://github.com/xdev-software/testcontainers-selenium/blob/develop/README.md under "Selenium's video recorder"

Alternatives

Searched for alternatives, the above one was the easiest for implementation. Implemented it. No problems since then.

Reference implementation is available at https://github.com/xdev-software/testcontainers-selenium (maybe consider giving us some credit if you port it)

Commencez par le module Selenium et comparez le comportement actuel de l’enregistreur VNC avec les indications de Selenium concernant l’enregistrement vidéo dans le README de Docker Selenium. Examinez l’implémentation de référence dans xdev-software/testcontainers-selenium ainsi que les discussions et Issues associées pour identifier les problèmes connus. Le travail est terminé lorsque l’enregistreur vidéo de Selenium remplace l’approche basée sur VNC et que les avantages documentés de l’enregistrement sont disponibles sans les limitations indiquées.
