A brief introduction to using Docker images to run a Selenium Server and to interact with the containers using RSelenium

Headless browsing with RSelenium. Call PhantomJS either directly from R or indirectly via Selenium Server. Run a browser like chrome or firefox on a VPS using a virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) in lieu of a display. Examples are given of interacting with the PhantomJS API using RSelenium.

The goal of rDVR is to make it easy to record an R session across platforms. rDVR was initially concieved to aid in testing web applications such as those written with shiny. One way to test such applications is with Selenium. Selenium automates browsers. Often when testing wep applications it is useful to have visual aids when items fail. Selenium itself allows the user to take screenshots and indeed automate the taking of screenshots when errors are encountered. Screenshots are great but video is even better.
