To reduce network traffic, minify scripts sent to web drivers over a network #228
Description
Imported from Selenium issue #44.
In the Selenium implementation, the scripts I am sending to the web driver are written in plain human-readable source code, but they don't need to be transmitted to the web driver (which might be remote, via a gateway) like this. I could insert a minification step into the process before the script is actually sent.
I am not sure if I want to do this or not. There are benefits and drawbacks.
Pros
- Bandwidth saving, might make tests marginally faster
Cons
- The script which arrives at the remote web driver is now unreadable, this might hurt debugging
