Agenda

Selenium Manager Beta/Dev - It was agreed that the user should have to specify a non-production browser version in order for it to be used. There was a brief discussion about what the bindings would need to do in order to support this in code.
Re-add logging endpoints to Grid - It was agreed not to implement logging features at this time, but that an error shouldn’t be thrown for a valid method asking about supported logs.

Tests are green!
Some flakiness in JS test before hook that needs to be investigated
Related: p0deje has done a bunch of work on improving CI with hermetic Ruby & Python implementations, Windows testing support in Ruby, and general caching improvements

Discussed some Python bugs that will require a 4.6.1 release soon.

BiDi API work — pujagani — proposal can still use feedback, but TamsilAmani & harsha509 are already working on this
Selenium Manager — boni_gg — Milestone 2 almost complete
Bazel Remote Caching — p0deje — Google Cloud storage and other services being investigated
Python Type Hints — symonk — still in progress
Implement JS with TypeScript — harsha509 — this is being put on hold in favor of BiDi work

Also discussed TamsilAmani’s work to better document Ruby testing with Bazel, and how it would be nice to improve documentation in all the languages.
