Is the AutoIT Webdriver selenium?

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Just a noob question really but is the Auto IT webdriver selenium?

https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/WebDriver

I've been writing automation for the webdriver for a while and wanted to try out C# selenium as I've not used it in a while and it uses the same chrome.exe file etc

Hi @CaptainBeardsEyesBeard,

no, "au3WebDriver" is not Selenium. But both of them use the W3C WebDriver specification and the "Wire Protocol". See this simplified explanation.
There are strong similarities between the framework Selenium, the framework WebdriverIO and the AutoIt framework variant "au3WebDriver".

What is your question? Switching from (AutoIt) au3WebDriver to (C#) Selenium, for example, is quite easy. The concepts are pretty the same and they all use Locators/Selectors to identify and interact with the (web) elements/DOM.

The actually used drivers (chromedriver.exe, geckodriver.exe) are used for all of them too.

Best regards
Sven
