## lambdium | ||
### serverless application repository quickstart | ||
|
||
Lambdium allows you to run a Selenium Webdriver script written in Javascript inside of an AWS Lambda function bundled with a special version of Google Chrome (headless chrome). | ||
|
||
For example, this script uses Selenium to automate visiting the google.com homepage and print the title to the console: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
console.log('About to visit google.com...'); | ||
$browser.get('http://www.google.com/ncr'); | ||
$browser.wait($driver.until.titleIs('Google'), 1000); | ||
$browser.getTitle().then(function(title) { | ||
console.log("title is: " + title); | ||
}); | ||
console.log('Finished running script!'); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
After running this script inside of of the AWS Lambda function running lambdium, you can look at Cloudwatch logs to read the output of the script: | ||
|
||

``` | ||
|
||
### running your first selenium script | ||
|
||
lambdium requires you to invoke it using a special event trigger: a JSON document with a single property called `Base64Script`, which is a Base64-encoded selenium script written in Javascript. The example which visits google.com looks like this: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
{ | ||
"Base64Script": "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" | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
To encode another script, you can paste the contents of a script in an online converter like [https://www.base64encode.org/](https://www.base64encode.org/) or using the following commands, which are also available as a simple shell script in `scripts/invoke.sh`: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
SELENIUM_SCRIPT=/path/to/your/script | ||
BASE64_ENCODED=`cat $SELENIUM_SCRIPT | openssl base64` | ||
PAYLOAD_STRING='{"Base64Script": "'$BASE64_ENCODED'"}' | ||
echo $PAYLOAD_STRING | ||
``` | ||
|
||
With the payload constructed, you can then invoke the function directly in the AWS Console by defining a test event or using the AWS CLI with the payload written to a file defined in the $PAYLOAD_FILE enviornment variable. Replace the function name with the name of the function deployed by the serverless application repository (it should be `lambdium` by default). | ||
|
||
``` | ||
aws lambda invoke --invocation-type RequestResponse --function-name lambdium --payload file://$PAYLOAD_FILE --log-type Tail $OUTPUT_FILE | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### troubleshooting | ||
|
||
Errors and failures will be written to Cloudwatch. The `DEBUG_ENV` environment variable outputs additional information about the filesystem and inputted Base64 script. | ||
|
||
The maximum payload size is 4kb and the default timeout is 10 seconds, so this won't work with very large scripts or scripts that run a long time. | ||
|
