Ability to select browser and version for selenoid через capability

[Morojko]

Hello!
It is not possible to launch a specific browser and version in selenoid

When choosing to launch via --browser=remote, the parameters browserName, browserVersion do not lend themselves to capability.
You need to specify the browser opera, chrome, firefox and versions for them
Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

example capability:

config['capabilities'] = {
            "browserName": "chrome",
            "browserVersion": "96.0",
            "goog:chromeOptions": {
                "args": [
                    "window-size=1920,1080"
                ]
            },
            "selenoid:options": {
                "enableVNC": True,
                "enableVideo": False,
                "enableLog": True,
                "screenResolution": screen_resolution,
            }
        }

Hello, the capabilities depend on the type of Selenium Grid being used. For some grids, the browser is specified inside capabilities, and for other grids (as well as non-grid tests) the browser is specified using --browser=BROWSER. The capabilities you have seem to match the format of a capabilities file (example: selenoid_cap_file.py) although if you are trying to specify an exact browser version, then the Grid would need to have that version installed. Otherwise it'll just use the version that it finds. More info on capabilities usage here: https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/tree/master/examples/capabilities

Version selection only works for chrome. It would be desirable that for remote it was also possible to forward the version and the browser. Although you can opera and firefox

remote, opera:

elif browser_name == constants.Browser.REMOTE:
        selenoid = False
        selenoid_options = None
        screen_resolution = None
        for key in desired_caps.keys():
            if key == "selenoid:options":
                selenoid = True
                selenoid_options = desired_caps[key]
            elif key == "screenResolution":
                screen_resolution = desired_caps[key]
        if selenium4:
            remote_options = ArgOptions()
            remote_options.set_capability("cloud:options", desired_caps)
            if selenoid:
                snops = selenoid_options
                remote_options.set_capability("selenoid:options", snops)
            if screen_resolution:
                scres = screen_resolution
                remote_options.set_capability("screenResolution", scres)
            return webdriver.Remote(
                command_executor=address,
                options=remote_options,
                keep_alive=True,
            )

Chrome:

 for key in desired_caps.keys():
            capabilities[key] = desired_caps[key]
            if key == "selenoid:options":
                selenoid = True
                selenoid_options = desired_caps[key]
            elif key == "screenResolution":
                screen_resolution = desired_caps[key]
            elif key == "version" or key == "browserVersion":
                browser_version = desired_caps[key]
            elif key == "platform" or key == "platformName":
                platform_name = desired_caps[key]
        if selenium4:
            chrome_options.set_capability("cloud:options", capabilities)
            if selenoid:
                snops = selenoid_options
                chrome_options.set_capability("selenoid:options", snops)
            if screen_resolution:
                scres = screen_resolution
                chrome_options.set_capability("screenResolution", scres)
            if browser_version:
                br_vers = browser_version
                chrome_options.set_capability("browserVersion", br_vers)
            if platform_name:
                plat_name = platform_name
                chrome_options.set_capability("platformName", plat_name)
            return webdriver.Remote(
                command_executor=address,
                options=chrome_options,
                keep_alive=True,
            )

I see the issue. I'll try to ship a new release on Monday.
