Script set used to automatically refresh list of available practical test times available at trafikverket. This lets you find test times faster and easier

automate-trafikverket.js

// How to use: Login to trafikverket's boka prov site
// Fill in the towns you want to do the test in and the rest of the settings so you get an initial search
// Update the referenceDate option in the bottom to the latest date you want to search for (set this to your current booked time)
// Copy paste all the code in this file (ctrl + a + c) into the console of the trafikverket page
// Now it will change between no gear option and manual gear option every thirty seconds, which will cause a refresh of the search every 60 seconds
// If it finds a newer time than specified it will log a bunch of green checkboxes
// If it does NOT find a newer time than specified it will log a red checkbox
// If you manage to snag a newer time, just update the referenceDate variable to the new date and the script should automatically check against the new time
// If you want to check against automatic car times, just change '#vehicle-select option:nth-child(2)' to '#vehicle-select option:nth-child(3)' and it should work just as well
// Remember that chrome generally pauses tabs if they aren't visible, so minimizing it may pause it after a few minutes, i usually just keep the console and page on a separate screen so i always see it
