Hello all,

Is there anyway/future plan to run webdriverjs from the browser without needing a webdriver server?

I've given  webdriverjs a try from a browser and I've verified that it needs the webdriver server. 


In the wikipage it says as future work:
 
Implement a pure-JavaScript command executor using the AutomationAtoms. This will allow developers to write light weight tests in pure JS and run them on any browser (albeit, bound by the same origin policy). 

Does this executor mean that it doesn't require the webdriver server? If so, I'd like to learn more about AutomationAtoms, and give it a try and contribute somehow. Where can I get more information?

It's a possibility, but it's a super low priority for me at the moment.

You will always need server/driver to manage browser in OS - manipulate what happens with the browser.
If you need to manipulate what happens inside the browser, you can do this with pure JS.
