I have written my script specifically for FF. Now I wish to run that same script on Chrome as well as IE. Also I want to run my tests in following order :
Open browser1.
Run script on that browser.
Close browser1.
Open browser2.
Run script on that browser.
Close browser2.
Please help.
In order to run your tests on :
1.Chrome : you will need to install latest Chrome driver, unzip it and paste its path in the environment variables.
2.IE : you will need to install IEDriver server unzip it and paste its path in the environment variables and enable protected mode for each zone in following way (Internet options->security tab->enable protected mode checkbox).
For running your tests as per the way you mentioned, not sure what framework you're using or whatever, but you can do this with a loop. You can do the following :
def all_browsers
browsers = [:firefox,:chrome,:ie].each do |br|
$driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for br
$driver.manage.window.maximize
$driver.navigate.to("http://google.com")
end
$driver.quit
end

I have been playing roblox a lot lately, and I was wondering if there was a way to automate the login process since I play on different computers each time. I looked into Python's selenium, and derived the script:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.roblox.com/login")
usernameStr = '<redacted>'
passwordStr = '<redacted>'
username = driver.find_element_by_id('login-username')
username.send_keys(usernameStr)
password = driver.find_element_by_id('login-password')
password.send_keys(passwordStr)
signInButton = driver.find_element_by_id('login-button')
signInButton.click()
When I run it in VScode it works perfectly, but when I exported the python file and tried running it via interpreter, it gave many errors around version types. I installed selenium on the computer as well. My hypothesis is my local computer had some tools in the background that when I tried on other computers didn't. Is there something that I am missing when going to my other computer? I am using python3.8.
One thing you could is make a script, when executed runs by the python in your $PATH.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.roblox.com/login")
usernameStr = '<redacted>'
passwordStr = '<redacted>'
username = driver.find_element_by_id('login-username')
username.send_keys(usernameStr)
password = driver.find_element_by_id('login-password')
password.send_keys(passwordStr)
signInButton = driver.find_element_by_id('login-button')
signInButton.click()
If you save this file in your terminal and run chmod +x <filename> to give it executable permissions, it will be a executable, which you can move from machines. Make sure to have all other selenium dependencies installed as well. When working with selenium, make sure your chrome driver is the same as your chrome browser, which you can read about on the chrome webdriver page.
After a few days of searching and experimenting with any of the solutions I could find online, I give up and want to get some help from the community.
Ruby gems (ruby 2.5.1):
watir 6.11.0
selenium-webdriver 3.4.1
Docker:
selenium/node-chrome-debug:3.14
selenium/hub:3.14
My ruby code:
prefs = {
download: {
prompt_for_download: false,
default_directory: download_directory
}
}
browser = Watir::Browser.new(:chrome, url: selenium_hub_url, options: {prefs: prefs})
Our set-up is:
Run a selenium/hub and a selenium/node-chrome-debug. Something that might be different is that we are mounting the /tmp of the base OS as /hosttmp/tmp in the node container
Make the selenium/node-chrome-debug talk to selenium/hub
Make the browser automation talk to the selenium/hub using the code provided above
The problem is that I was never able to set the default download directory. However, all other parts are working correctly. The VNC window shows the browser is working correctly despite the default download directory settings. It is always /home/seluser/Downloads
Things I have tried:
Other people's ideas such as different ways to specify the options and preferences. (e.g. using the Capabilities)
Docker security-related settings such as: --privileged --security-opt apparmor:unconfined --cap-add SYS_ADMIN
On the base OS, chmod 777 for the download_directory. The download_directory, for example, /tmp/tmp.123 on the base OS, which is mounted as /hosttmp/tmp/tmp.123 in the chrome node container, I could see it and make a few read/write operations in this folder inside the container or on the base OS
Tweaks about the interesting ruby symbol/string stuff when creating a Hash object.
Does anyone have more ideas about what could lead to this situation? What else I could try? And is there any log that I could refer to. There is no error or warning when running the code. Thanks in advance.
I'm using Java+Docker+Selenium+Chrome for automation test and also met similar issue with you. Please find my solutions below and try if it works for your case.
Don't set default download directory in the options, just leave "/home/seluser/Downloads" as it is.
When you start up the chrome node on docker, please add the parameter of volume that could transfer the downloaded files to the directory you want.
e.g. docker run -d -p 5900:5900 --link myhub:hub -v :/home/seluser/Downloads selenium/node-chrome-debug:3.14.0
In my case, the JDK environment and my test script is on Linux machine while the selenium webdriver & browser are all on docker, so once the file downloaded by browser it cannot saved directly on Linux machine, you have to mount the local directory with default directory on docker. Then you could find the file saved in the directory you want.
Thanks & Regards!

Did you define options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new?
We use
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new
prefs = {
prompt_for_download: false,
default_directory: download_directory
}
options.add_preference(download: prefs)
and then you would want something like
browser = Watir::Browser.new(:chrome, url: selenium_hub_url, options: options)
But maybe the main problem is just that you are using
options: {prefs: prefs}
instead of
options: {download: prefs}
Okay, by digging into the source code of the Watir and Selenium-Webdriver, I think I know the 'root cause'.
I have created an issue since I am not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' The issue
Also, I have a workaround for my case, in watir/capabilities.rb:
Change
#selenium_browser = browser == :remote || options[:url] ? :remote : browser
to
#selenium_browser = browser == :remote ? :remote : browser
This shouldn't be the final solution as it might not be a good idea. Will wait for what the Watir people say about this.
When running Selenium tests remotely with PHPUnit and Firefox, onChange events are not fired as they are when a user is operating the browser.
The solution to this seems to be to set the focusmanager.testmode option to true in Firefox's preferences (i.e. about:config), as suggested in a Selenium bug report.
However all the examples are using Selenium directly, while I am using PHPUnit which has its own API hiding the Selenium internals. I can't figure out how to set this Firefox option using PHPUnit, so I'm hoping someone else can tell me how this can be done!
(No, I can't go into about:config and set it myself manually because the tests create a new clean browser profile each time the tests are run, so any manual config changes are lost.)
Thanks to the Selenium developers I have a solution!
Short version
Put this in your test so that it gets called in the setUp() function:
// Firefox mini-profile that sets focusmanager.testmode=true in about:config
define('FIREFOX_PROFILE',
'UEsDBAoAAAAAADqAxkSBK46tKgAAACoAAAAIABwAcHJlZnMuanNVVAkAA1BZkVM6WZFTdXgLAAEE
6AMAAARkAAAAdXNlcl9wcmVmKCJmb2N1c21hbmFnZXIudGVzdG1vZGUiLCB0cnVlKTsKUEsBAh4D
CgAAAAAAOoDGRIErjq0qAAAAKgAAAAgAGAAAAAAAAQAAAKSBAAAAAHByZWZzLmpzVVQFAANQWZFT
dXgLAAEE6AMAAARkAAAAUEsFBgAAAAABAAEATgAAAGwAAAAAAA==');
protected function setUp()
{
$this->setDesiredCapabilities(Array('firefox_profile' => FIREFOX_PROFILE));
}
This sets focusmanager.testmode to true.
Long version
You need to create your own mini Firefox profile with the preferences you want set, and pass it along at the start of your tests. Here's how to do it:
Create a new folder and put the files you want in the Firefox profile in there. This can be anything (bookmarks, extensions, a copy of your own profile, etc.) but all we need here is a file called prefs.js which stores our about:config settings.
Create prefs.js in this folder with the following content:
user_pref("focusmanager.testmode", true);
Zip up the folder (prefs.js should be in the root of the archive), and base64 encode it.
If you're using Linux, you can do it all like this:
mkdir firefox-profile
cd firefox-profile
echo 'user_pref("focusmanager.testmode", true);' >> prefs.js
zip -r ../firefox-profile.zip *
base64 < ../firefox-profile.zip
Then take the base64 value and set it as the "firefox_profile" capability as per the short version above.
I wrote a few tests with casperjs. They run just fine with phantomjs. However, when I tried to use slimerjs with the following command:
casperjs --verbose --engine=slimerjs test create-project-suite.js
A small window appers with the SlimerJs logo and version number but the console seems to hang with the following line:
Test file: create-project-suite.js
Is there anything else I need to do? Here are the version numbers:
Mozilla Firefox 28.0
CasperJS version 1.1.0-beta3
Innophi SlimerJS 0.9.1
3.8.0-37-generic #53~precise1-Ubuntu
Update:
I removed code until I got slimerjs to open the browser and execute tests. It seems that it hangs whenever I require a js file (I'm following the page objects pattern):
var Login = require('./objects/login');
I think require.paths could be helpful. Any ideas on how to get around this?
Using full paths makes slimerjs happy:
var path = fs.absolute(fs.workingDirectory + '/objects/login');
var Login = require(path);
It is plain simpler to move all modules to the same directory where the script is.
I tried your command and it works for me, maybe in your file you use an instruction specific to phantom :
http://docs.slimerjs.org/0.8/differences-with-phantomjs.html
But it should open the window(at least the start() ).
Anyway the command is fine.
How is it possible to open FireFox browser by Ruby(for automation script)?
I use
#browser = RSpecSeleniumHelper.connect_browser('/admin/', '*firefox')
but it doesn't work.
You can start any program in ruby with:
`firefox http://www.google.com`
or
system("firefox http://www.google.com")
You can use Watir, as it supports Firefox also:
http://wtr.rubyforge.org/platforms.html
You may have to check if the Selenium Remote Control is start or not, normally it is running at port 4444.
java -jar selenium-server-xxx.jar
then you can use
#browser = Selenium::Client::Driver.new(
:host => "localhost",
:port => 4444,
:browser => "*firefox", #*iexplore, *firefox3, *safari...
:url => "http://www.google.com/",
:timeout_in_second => 60)
#browser.start_new_browser_session
Hope this helps, you can find more demo by download Selenium RC
I encountered two issues while getting this running:
If you are running your Ruby app from MacOS, the command firefox may not be properly aliased by default and so may fail without errors printed to your Ruby console.
If you already have an instance of Firefox open, you will get a message saying "Close Firefox - A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
This code fixes both problems:
system("open -a /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin http://www.google.com http://www.cpap.com")
open's -a option Opens with the specified application.
The file path list works for me. If it won't load for you, first drop it and try plain "firefox" and failing that try "/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox"
The example above shows two URLs separated by a space. You can use just one URL or as many as you care to following this pattern.
