I'm working on web-application automation using Ruby 1.9.3p484 and Watir-webdriver (0.8.0) with Firefox 41.0 for Ubuntu.
I want the browser to not load any images. To do that, I try to change the 'permissions.default.image' firefox parameter to 2.
I have tried the following code:
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['permissions.default.image'] = 2
browser = Watir::Browser.new(:firefox, :profile => profile)
browser.goto url
But, the browser keep loading the images. In the about:config page, the 'permissions.default.image' is still set to 1.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
I don't know why, but if I use from_name method in Selenium class init, then you code is working perfectly:
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.from_name "default"

I am very new at BDD testing and I am trying to figure out how to open a chrome browser in a specific URL using these technologies. I already installed bddfire gem and already ran it.
Now I have a feature:
#openingChrome
Scenario: Opening Chrome on facebook page
Given I open chrome and write "url"
bddfir_steps.rb
Given(/^I open chrome and write "([^"]*)"$/) do |arg1|
$session.visit("https://www.facebook.com.br")
end
In the hooks file I wrote
Before do
$session = Capybara::Session.new(:selenium, browser: :chrome)
end
And in the env.rb file that came with bddfire gem there is this
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome)
end
So chrome is already added and I already installed chrome webdriver. Unfortunately this line of code is not working: $session = Capybara::Session.new(:selenium, browser: :chrome)
it throws this error: The second parameter to Session::new should be a rack app if passed. (TypeError)
does anyone know why?
Session#new takes the name of the driver and optionally a rack app instance to start. Since you don't seem to be starting an app and you're registering your driver with a name of :chrome you want
Before do
$session = Capybara::Session.new(:chrome)
end
I have a Firefox profile that I'd like to launch for testing. It's currently the only profile loaded up on my test machine's copy of Firefox. When I load WebDriver Remote it's not loading my profile. First I tried this:
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(:firefox_profile => "myprofile")
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote, :desired_capabilities => capabilities)
That didn't work and opened up a browser with a blank profile. Then I remember that in PHP WebDriver there was a requirement to copy the profile and Base64 encode it. So I did that:
profile = File.read '/home/me/firefoxprofile.zip.b64'
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(:firefox_profile => profile)
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(:remote, :desired_capabilities => capabilities)
But I'm still stuck with a blank profile again. :(
I set a lot of custom preferences and extensions in my profile and would like to load it for each test.
UPDATE:
I also tried adding -FirefoxProfilePath with the webdriver.jar and that also failed to load my profile.
How can I load my custom Firefox profile in WebDriver Remote for testing?
Starting just last night, the FirefoxDriver has been always opening on this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/42.0/firstrun/learnmore/. I have tried changing the default profile settings and have not had any success.
The following question, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33937067/firefox-webdriver-opens-first-run-page-all-the-time, is similar, but I do not see where to implement the four lines of code, and my personal attempts of throwing it into my scripts have proved futile.
This problem started absolutely out of the blue last night. I have presentations to do today and I can't get any of my scripts to work.
Instantiating my WebDriver instance like so will cause a NoSuchMethodError:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage", "about:blank");
profile.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "about:blank");
profile.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "about:blank");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
But getting rid of profile in FirefoxDriver brings it back to the firstrun page mentioned above.
I was having this problem when running RSpec/Capybara tests using a Selenium Webdriver and Poltergeist with Firefox as the browser for a Rails app. Tried reconfiguring Firefox in various ways to no avail but managed to fix by simply updating the selenium-webdriver gem in my Gemfile (gem 'selenium-webdriver'):
bundle update selenium-webdriver

I had the same problem with the first run page, after some searching I found that this worked for me (I use WebDriver 2.53.0 and FF 45.0.1):
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
profile.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "about:blank");
profile.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional","about:blank");
profile.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage","about:blank");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
Go to profile manager using "Firefox.exe - p"
You will have more than one profile. Please select default profile and make it default all time.
It should not open that page. i tested and it works fine.
You can try this code. I am pretty sure it will work.
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = profile.getProfile("default");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
There is an issue with the certificates in the first run splash screen of the Mozilla homepage. I filed a ticket for this in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269500
To fix this issue in Selenium/Capybara/Cucumber, we need to change the default homepage for new profiles to blank or another page. To do so, register your firefox/selenium driver in the configuration:
Capybara.register_driver :firefox do |app|
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone'] = 'ignore'
profile['startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional'] = 'about:blank'
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end
I've been playing with Watir and Tor browser and I can't get them to work.
The correct browser opens, however, I'm unable to open a website.
My code:
Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox.path = '\path\Tor Browser\Start Tor Browser.exe'
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :driver => driver
This results in a message box popping up, which says:
Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
The correct browser also opens up, however, the website doesn't.
I've also tried:
Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox.path = '\path\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe'
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :driver => driver
With this, the message box doesn't appear, but still, the website is not loaded.
I'm not sure, if the problem is in my code or in the browser.
Thank you very much for any help!
Start Tor then run this, assuming your socks port is 9050
require 'watir-webdriver'
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['network.proxy.socks'] = "127.0.0.1"
profile['network.proxy.socks_port'] = 9050
profile['network.proxy.type'] = 1
$browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => profile
$browser.goto "whatsmyip.org"
Firefox and Tor are not the same browser. Watir uses webdriver API to control the browser. You can't use Firefox webdriver API to control another browser.
In your second example, browser don't open the site, but you don't tell him to. You should add :
browser.goto('http://my.example.com')
And don't forget to put a browser.quit at the end of your code to close the browser.
I would like to use my default profile in firefox when watir-webdriver launches a friefox browser, but then I want to switch off javascript in that browser this way:
browser = Watir::Browser.new :ff, :profile => "default"
browser.profile['javascript.enabled']=false
The second reference doesn't work, because the "profile" is not a member of the browser object. How can I access it? Or any other method to switch off javascript either in the default profile or in the running firefox window? I want to do this programmatically, because at the end of my Ruby script I would like to switch it on again.
I think you would do it like this:
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['javascript.enabled'] = false
browser = Watir::Browser.new :ff, :profile => profile
