[🚀 Feature]: Selenium Manager support Nightly grid

[titusfortner]

Feature and motivation

Allow automatically downloading the nightly version of the grid.

Instead of just getting the latest version of grid, SM should allow getting a specific version. The primary use case for this is to be able to use the nightly release version, but the logic should be the same as what we're doing for IE Driver I think.

Usage example

Result result = SeleniumManager.getResult(List.of("--grid", "nightly"));
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar " + result.getGridPath() + " standalone --port 12345");

I know the jar can be executed itself in Java, so this more of an example of what would be done in the other languages.

This is already possible. As the doc says:

Optionally, the argument --grid allows to specify a Selenium Grid version (--grid <GRID_VERSION>).

For instance:

./selenium-manager --debug --grid 4.17.0-SNAPSHOT
DEBUG   grid not found in the system
DEBUG   Downloading selenium-server 4.17.0-SNAPSHOT from https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/releases/download/nightly/selenium-server-4.17.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
INFO    Driver path: C:\Users\boni\.cache\selenium\grid\4.17.0-SNAPSHOT\selenium-server-4.17.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Unless you want to match the label nightly with the current nightly version. In that case, yes, that is something new that can be implemented.

[titusfortner]

Hah. I thought it was possible, but didn't see grid-version like I was expecting. Just --grid makes sense.

Let me update this to say support nightly. Thanks.

During the May 2024 Selenium Summit, we decided to implement this. Supporting stable (latest release) and nightly.
