I am trying to set the firefox profile so that all links will open in the same tab when running my selenium tests.
I have found the setting required to do this, howvever when the program runs it is not being set to the value i want, whereas other values are.
Heres my code
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'] = 0
profile['browser.link.open_newwindow'] = 1
#browser = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, :profile => profile
the loaded broswer page has the 'browser.link.open_newwindow' set to 2, which is not the default setting and the browser indicates that the value 2 has been user set, even though it is not what I have set it to be
does anyone know why this maybe happening? does selenium or the page-object-gem write this value?
If you are using Capybara, have this in your features/support.env.rb file:
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'] = 0
profile['browser.link.open_newwindow'] = 1
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end

I know how to create profile for Firefox
require 'watir'
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Options.new
options.profile = "default"
#driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, options: options
#b = Watir::Browser.new #driver
But when I do same thing for Chrome it's not creating, Infact I realized that options(please look above) object doesn't even have the method profile= so I try adding profile like as given below(I saw how people are creating in Java Selenium Binding so I have done the same but it's not working here)
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Options.new
options.add_argument('user-data-dir=C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default')
#driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, options: options
Can someone help me how to create Chrome Profile via Ruby Selenium binding(or WATIR)?
Using an existing or creating a new profile can be done via Chromedrivers user-data-dir argument. In Watir, you can pass the argument via the :args parameter:
browser = Watir::Browser.new :chrome,
args: ['user-data-dir=C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data']
Note that if you trying to use the existing default profile, you do not want to include the "Default" directory in the path.
I made a function for creating new browser. You can use it.
def new_browser
if Rails.env.production?
chrome_bin = ENV.fetch('GOOGLE_CHROME_SHIM', nil)
Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome.path = "/app/.apt/usr/bin/google-chrome"
Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome.driver_path = "/app/vendor/bundle/bin/chromedriver"
end
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Profile.new
profile['general.useragent.override'] = 'Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10'
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :profile => profile
pid = driver.instance_variable_get(:#service).instance_variable_get(:#process).instance_variable_get(:#pid)
begin
browser = Watir::Browser.new driver
rescue => e
system("kill -9 #{#pid}")
end
return {:browser => browser , :pid => pid}
end
Since you asked in the comments for a more detailed explanation for Capybara, I post it as an answer (although you seem to already have a working solution now - sorry for the delayed answer).
In my rails projects I usually configure the Selenium chrome driver as follows:
gem 'chromedriver-helper'
in the Gemfile (or install it locally). Then in a system-test initializer define
Capybara.register_driver :selenium_chrome_headless_no_sandbox do |app|
browser_options = ::Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new
browser_options.args << '--headless'
browser_options.args << '--disable-gpu'
browser_options.args << '--no-sandbox'
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, options: browser_options)
end
and later (configuring RSpec) I set it as the used driver like:
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.before(:each, type: :system, js: true) do
driven_by :selenium_chrome_headless_no_sandbox
end
end
Maybe this helps someone. Cheers
edit: added chromedriver-helper
I have written a small block that will launch Google Chrome when I set a tag #chrome above a scenario within a feature file.
Before ('#chrome') do
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app,
:browser => :chrome,
desired_capabilities: {
'chromeOptions' => {
'args' => %w{ window-size=1920,1080 }
}
}
)
end
end
The problem I have is that all subsequent scenarios within the feature file will also run in Chrome, even when the tag isn't set for them.
Is there a way to add to it to say revert back to Poltergeist once I'm done. I've tried the following but it didn't work:
After do |scenario|
if #chrome == true
Capybara.register_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(
app,
phantomjs_options: ['--ignore-ssl-errors=yes', '--ssl-protocol=TLSv1'],
window_size: [1280, 1024],
js_errors: false,
debug: false
)
end
end
Thanks in advance for any help you might have
Capybara already provides this behavior here . To use it you just need to require it and register a driver with the tag name you want to use. This would usually be in your env.rb/custom_env.rb
require 'capybara/cucumber'
Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app,
browser: :chrome,
...
)
end
The important thing is the name you use to register the driver has to match the tag used (in this case #chrome). It also shows you shouldn't be changing Capybara.default_driver on a test by test basis, that's what Capybara.current_driver is for. You also shouldn't be registering a new driver every scenario, register_driver is meant to be called once for each driver configuration you will need and then referenced by name later.
I'm using watir-webdriver and ruby. I need to go to the 'Untrusted connection' page in firefox. But watir handles the certificate validation by default. Is there anyway I can change the default settings?
require 'watir-webdriver'
browser= Watir::Browser.new :firefox
browser.goto "https://url"
Try this:
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.assume_untrusted_certificate_issuer = true
b = Watir::Browser.new WEB_DRIVER, :profile => profile
In the context of a capybara test, I'm trying to set elementScrollBehavior to 1 (instructing webdriver to scroll elements targeted for interaction to the bottom of the viewport). I sort of expected this to work:
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
capabilities = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox('elementScrollBehavior' => 1)
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, desired_capabilities: capabilities)
end
but it does not.
I am trying to get a Capybara session to automatically save downloaded files in Firefox, without displaying the open/save dialog.
This is my test code:
require 'capybara/dsl'
require 'selenium-webdriver'
cb = Capybara
cb.register_driver :my_firefox_driver do |app|
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile['browser.download.dir'] = "~/Downloads"
profile['browser.download.folderList'] = 2
profile['browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force'] = false
profile['browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting'] = false
profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = "text/csv"
profile['csvjs.disabled'] = true
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :firefox, :profile => profile)
end
cb.current_driver = :my_firefox_driver
# just to check that we are reaching the correct URL
cb.visit "https://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=NYSE:IBM&startdate=Jan+1%2C+1980&enddate=Sep+18%2C+2014&num=30"
sleep(3)
# attempt a CSV download
cb.visit "https://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=NYSE:IBM&startdate=Jan+1%2C+1980&enddate=Sep+18%2C+2014&output=csv"
sleep(15)
Firefox version is 30. I have tried various profile settings as well as several MIME types, to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions.
