I'm writing Ruby script to automate Downloading files from a list of files using Watir web driver. Any pointers or approaches on Automating Popping up of Window and Directory Chooser to save the file into a location? Thanks.
change default Watir preferences for download location
for chrome
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Profile.new
download_dir = File.join(Rails.root, 'lib', 'assets')
profile['download.default_directory'] = download_dir
profile['download.prompt_for_download'] = false
#b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome, :profile => profile
for firefox
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
download_dir = File.join(Rails.root, 'lib', 'assets')
profile['browser.download.dir'] = download_dir
profile['browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk'] = "text/csv,application/pdf"
#b = Watir::Browser.new. :firefox, :profile => profile
note: to be be able to access the Rails.root/lib folder easily from within your rails app, you'll need to add this code or something like it to your config/application.rb file:
config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/**/"]

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'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
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 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.
I'm trying to get work with your gem and in windows 7 I did the following:
gem install browsermob-proxy
all went with success
but then I try to launch code:
require 'selenium/webdriver'
require 'browsermob/proxy'
server = BrowserMob::Proxy::Server.new('C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/browsermob-proxy-0.1.3/lib/browsermob-proxy.rb') #=> #<BrowserMob::Proxy::Server:0x000001022c6ea8 ...>
server.start
proxy = server.create_proxy #=> #<BrowserMob::Proxy::Client:0x0000010224bdc0 ...>
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new #=> #<Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile:0x000001022bf748 ...>
profile.proxy = proxy.selenium_proxy
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, :profile => profile
proxy.new_har "google"
driver.get "http://google.com"
har = proxy.har #=> #<HAR::Archive:0x-27066c42d7e75fa6>
har.entries.first.request.url #=> "http://google.com"
har.save_to "/tmp/google.har"
proxy.close
driver.quit
and get error:
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/browsermob-proxy-0.1.3/lib/browsermob/proxy/server.rb:16:in ´initialize' : Permission denied - not executable: C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/browsermob-proxy-0.1.3/lib/browsermob-proxy.rb (Errno::EACCES)
from gethar.rb:in 'new'
from gethar.rb:in '<main>'
I thought that there are no permissions in windows like in linux?
So any help please
The error message is misleading. This isn't a permissions issue; you need to point to the browsermob bat file, which is separate from the gem.
You can download it here: http://bmp.lightbody.net/
Then point to the file location, mine looks like this:
server = BrowserMob::Proxy::Server.new('C:/browsermob-proxy/bin/browsermob-proxy.bat')
That should fix your problem.
