cadmium should offer a nice api to select Webelements.
Currently this needs to be done in a sequnce of clicks, which works, but isn't very nice.
potentially simply wrap selenium Select: https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/py/webdriver_support/selenium.webdriver.support.select.html

Offer a nice API for download of files and uploads.

download api includes

• configuring the browser profile to always accept downloads.
• possibly configuring the correct mime-type

Often it is required to scroll an element into view before interacting with it.

One way to do that in Selenium is
(driver as JavascriptExecutor).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", element)

But since Cadmium does not expose the raw Selenium element, this route is blocked.

Cadmium could either offer a method to do this, or could do it implicitly before any interaction. Devs coming from Selenium would probably prefer the former, since there is less hidden magic.

Currently we provide our own class InteractionHooks instead of using the Selenium Evenlistener.
To allow more customization and better maintainability we should instead wrap selenium Eventlistener.

The window Api creates a new page object for the new window.
Page expects to be given a valid URL as base url to allow usage of relative URLs.
Modal windows do not have valid URLs. This results in an InvalidUrl Exception.

The select api currently does not forward these two functions from Selenium.
This makes it necessary to call selenium directly.

Cadmium should offer functionality to handle multiple browser windows.

Selenium has a fairly bare-bones api using strings as window handles and the switchTo api.
We should wrap this api and offer a proper Window Handle type.
It would be nice to have a Window class similiar to Page with represents a given browser window.
The following should be available:

• Function to switch to window with given Handle
• function to check if window is currently active
• close a window, even if it is not active
• switch to last window (this is fairly useful, when a window is opened for a single dialog only)
