Using Selenium Webdriver on Ruby, is there a way to set up Firefox to be opened on "Responsive Design View" and continue executing tests for the whole session?
I've done it on Google Chrome and it's working fine (sans the touch support part). For Firefox, I've only seen questions around creating preset for screen size but not much activity on how to actually execute tests on said profile.
Please advise.

Note - App coded in Extjs
Certain ExtJs elements or parts of elements (like titles) are not appearing or loading when using the selenium launched FF.
Things I tried
Going to the same page with a manually launched firefox - works
Stopping the test after login to use the launched version and going
to the same with issues - still see issues
Updated to latest version of FF - same issues.
Is there anything with the Firefox driver in selenium that could be causing these discrepancies?
To add to to the situation I can actually get the store behind the grid that isn't loading up
The thing is ExtJS is using a really annoying HTML5 features, which need a bit more then simple simulations of user interactions. For ecample an element could be with no childs, but when you will click on it, it will automatically load all of it's childs. That's why you don't see all the elements.
For that purposes, if you are using java you should use http://html5robot.com or similar things, which are developed to help Webdriver interact with complex HTML5 solutions.
I'm testing something using Splinter / Selenium, using the Firefox webdriver.
I'd like to automate getting the browser into full screen mode. I've tried mozRequestFullScreen but it won't co-operate - I get errors about it not being triggered by a user event (presumably this is a security thing). Is there a way to run Firefox where it will allow this? Or a profile setting or something?
I've got a Selenium test which crashes my browser (Firefox) whenever it runs. It's just a simple test (login, logout, login, logout, login ... crash) and I can't reproduce the crash when I do the same things manually, so I think the problem is with Selenium itself.
However, the issue could be that my Firefox starts with different options than when Selenium starts it. I could confirm that's not the case if I could start Firefox the exact same way Selenium starts it (eg. without plug-ins, with all history cleared, etc.) ... but I'm not sure how to do that.
Can anyone tell me which options to use to make Firefox run the same way as when Selenium runs it?
I was never able to find out how to emulate Selenium's use of Firefox. I tried using a fresh Firefox profile, but that still seemed to have differences from how Selenium ran Firefox.
Instead I wound up re-writing my test to be two tests, and then it was able to log in/out twice in the first test and once in the second test, avoiding the issue I was trying to debug (which only manifests when I try to log in/out 3 times in the same test).
If anyone can provide a better explanation of how to emulate Selenium's running of Firefox I'd be happy to accept that answer.
I am trying to build test automation for toolbars built for Firefox browser.
I am wondering if Selenium WebDriver is the correct tool for the job.
Based on the documentation found on Selenium webpage, it seems that Selenium is built to interact with webpages and doesn't have the capability to interact with browser components (a toolbar for example.).
Please correct me if I am mistaken and if possible provide the name of a tool to automate toolbar testing if such a tool exists.
try this Sikuli .
This can be used with your selenium test cases.
One choice for Windows is White automation framework.
For instance, how to start work with White, take a look at my answer: How to validate a messagebox popup in c#?
I'm writing Selenium tests in Ruby to test my website in multiple browsers.
However, the tests won't fire correctly unless the cookies are clear(there are triggers I'm testing that only happen X number of times and is stored in a cookie).
Does anyone know how to have selenium open a browser in its private browsing or incognito mode with Selenium or have another idea on how I might solve the issue?
You can get Chrome to start in incognito by default.
There's a solution for Windows at the bottom of the link below... If you're not using Windows, you can Google how to achieve this for you OS =)
