PS-ScheduledTaskCheck VS Selenium WebDriver

PS-ScheduledTaskCheck is a script that will check all scheduled tasks running on a Windows server and alert on any failures. It will also generate a report in the install directory of all tasks—which includes the taskname, runas user, command run, arguments to the command run, triggers and server the task runs from. Appreciation for this one goes to its author, poorest_ferengi.

Selenium is an extensively used open-source automation framework for web applications. It allows for cross-browser testing by automating browser actions, making it a staple tool for end-to-end testing in diverse web development environments.

While similar to Puppeteer, Cypress, and Selenium, there are some differences. Let’s find out what they are.

Cypress is a next-generation front-end Automation testing tool built for modern web applications. It is a JavaScript-based end-to-end testing framework and is known for faster test execution as compared with other testing tools (like Selenium or Protractor).

Removing ExpectedConditions from documentation makes sense since it was removed from the codebase around 2019 already.

You won't be able to test the javascript function itself from within python, but you can exercise the front-end code using something like cypress (https://cypress.io) or the older but still respectable selenium (https://selenium.dev).

once you solve this you may run into: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/11750, so add that workaround.

Other libraries with similar functionality are Selenium, which is very popular outside the JavaScript world, and Playwright, a younger step-brother of Puppeteer.
