I have created a Java program that utilizes Chrome Driver, Selenium, and Java Excel API. The program is used to automate a few different processes on Google Chrome. Currently, setting up this automation is more complicated than I would like it to be: the user needs to download a zipped folder, unzip it, download the Java Runtime Environment, and launch the program using the executable.
My goal is to simplify the installation of the automation. Ideally, a user would come to a SharePoint website, fill out a form with the parameters of the automation (potentially upload an Excel Workbook), click an "execute" button, and the automation would run. As a result, the automation would run seamlessly across platforms (Windows and MacOS) without any modifications.
I have researched changing the programming language to achieve this functionality. I concluded that a different language could remove the need for a Java Runtime Environment download, but it would still require some type of installation process. Additionally, I have researched using HTML/JavaScript, but I concluded that this is not possible because the functionality (triggering a web automation from a website) could be used maliciously without the user's knowledge. Finally, I began researching containerization through Docker. This solution seems promising but I do not know enough about it to determine if it is the appropriate solution.
What would be the best route to achieve the results that I am looking for (outlined in the second paragraph)? I have access to enterprise-grade databases that I thought may be useful. Would it be possible to have the form trigger a virtual machine to run the automation on a remote database and then output the result to the user once it has finished?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide. I do not know much about making a Java program into an enterprise-grade application so any information about what to research is extremely useful. Finally, please do not hesitate to correct my logic at any point in this question as I may have drawn the wrong conclusions from my research.
You want to look into creating a jar file with your selenium code.
