Selenium Version = 3.141,
Mozilla Firefox Version : 101.0.1
Automation Framework : Pytest
After successfully downloading the file, we want the notification to be closed.
I am able to download the file, but unable to perform any operation because of the notification that appears at the right top of the mozilla firefox browser. I want to close that notification through selenium code but it seems not working.
Have tried following solutions:
options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
# options = FirefoxProfile()
options.set_preference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", False)
options.set_preference("dom.push.enabled", False)
options.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","application/pptx, application/csv, application/ris, text/csv, image/png, application/pdf, text/html, text/plain, application/zip, application/x-zip, application/x-zip-compressed, application/download, application/octet-stream")
options.set_preference("browser.download.panel.shown", False)
options.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
options.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
options.set_preference("browser.download.dir", os.path.join(parent_folder, 'Downloads'))
options.set_preference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", True)
options.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", False)
# options.add_argument("--headless")
# options.headless = True
web_driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options,executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())
Solution 2:
After successfully downloading the file, we are trying to press ESC key to dismiss the notification but this also seems not working
self.driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + Keys.ENTER)
OR
ActionChains(self.driver).send_keys(Keys.ESCAPE).perform()
Solution 3
Tried to Refresh the screen as well, but notification is still there.
Image is attached below:
File is being successfully downloaded but unable to close this notification through selenium python.
You are using the incorrect MIME type for pptx, so that may be causing the notification to hang around, so do following update to see if it resolves the issue:
from application/pptx
to application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
More info on MIME types can be found here: Common MIME types - HTTP | MDN
UPDATE
Mozilla has introduced changes from Firefox 97+, one of them is to the download panel and the behaviour is what you experienced. For selenium purposes, you can stop the panel from opening using the following option:
options.set_preference("browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel", False)

When i tried to take screenshot of a webpage using selenium in python, i get error message selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message: timeout: Timed out receiving message from renderer: 10.000.
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
indi_url = 'http://www.google.com'
options = Options()
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")
options.add_argument("disable-popup-blocking")
options.add_argument("--disable")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get(indi_url)
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.save_screenshot("new.png")
Error message:
I'm using Chrome version 73, chromedriver version 73.
Note: code was working fine (ie.screenshot)in lower version of chrome and chrome driver.
Help me out in fixing this issue for new version of chrome driver.
Thanks in advance
As the error shows, your filename for screenshot does not match the template extensions .png
Here is an example how to make a screenshot.
Java:
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File(".\\Screenshots\\example_screenshot.png"));
Python:
driver.save_screenshot("screenshot.png")
This error message...
UserWarning: name used for saved screenshot does not match file type. It should end with a .png extension
"type. It should end with a .png extension", UserWarning)
...implies that the Selenium-Python client encountered an issue while invoking get_screenshot_as_file() method.
get_screenshot_as_file()
get_screenshot_as_file() saves a screenshot of the current window to a PNG image file. Returns False if there is any IOError, else returns True. Use full paths in your filename.
Args:
filename: The full path you wish to save your screenshot to. This should end with a .png extension.
Usage:
driver.get_screenshot_as_file('/Screenshots/foo.png')
Defination:
if not filename.lower().endswith('.png'):
warnings.warn("name used for saved screenshot does not match file "
"type. It should end with a `.png` extension", UserWarning)
png = self.get_screenshot_as_png()
try:
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
f.write(png)
except IOError:
return False
finally:
del png
return True
Analysis
As per the snapshot of the error stack trace:
You have used the command as:
driver.get_screenshot_as_file('new.jpeg')
The issues were:
The filename didn't end with .png
The desired full path of your filename wasn't provided.
Even if you desire to use save_screenshot() this method in-turn invokes get_screenshot_as_file(filename)
Solution
Create a directory within your project as Screenshots and provide the absolute path of the filename you desire for the screenshot while invoking either of the methods as follows:
driver.get_screenshot_as_file("./Screenshots/YakeshrajM.png")
driver.save_screenshot("./Screenshots/YakeshrajM.png")

Currently GAed Chrome v73 have some issues and you may like to downgrade to Chrome v72. You can find a couple of relevant discussions in:
Getting Timed out receiving message from renderer: 600.000 When we execute selenium scripts using Jenkins windows service mode
Timed out receiving message from renderer: 10.000 while capturing screenshot using chromedriver and chrome through Jenkins on Windows
During the test, a file (.html) will be downloaded from the web application & I have to verify that file by opening it on the browser. In the non-headless mode, my test is working fine. But whenever I'm going to headless mode, that file is not getting downloaded to the download path (i.e. pointed in the "user.dir"). My chrome driver version is 2.44.609538 & selenium version is 3.14.
Apparently this could help you
Shawn Button post the answer related with it.
Downloading with chrome headless and selenium
Are you running the test from the command line?
Because, according to an answer to this question and this, when you run it via command line, your user.dir corresponds to your global user directory (C:\users\username).
This worked for our ruby implementation:
Capybara.register_driver :scrapping_driver do |app|
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--disable-popup-blocking')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--window-size=1366,2000')
options.add_preference(:download, directory_upgrade: true,
prompt_for_download: false,
default_directory: "#{Rails.root}/")
options.add_preference(:browser, set_download_behavior: { behavior: 'allow' })
Selenium::WebDriver::Service.driver_path = Webdrivers::Chromedriver.driver_path
driver = Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, options: options)
end
Pay attention at download behaviour
I met same situation.
Headless mode is very faster. So your code might be implemented to detect download(DL).
Solution.
(Current your process?) .click for DL -> Detecting download file generation.
(My solution) Detecting download file generation -> .click for DL.
I implemented the above mechanism using callback function.
I read through a ton of answers to this query of mine but couldn't find anything specific. Hence asking here
Here's the scenario, On a webpage, when I click a download button, it downloads a PDF file correctly, On the browser, I have set the Firefox preferences to save the file rather than open in preview.
However, when I run my selenium/Python script, the download keeps opening in the preview, there are other PDF downloads on the page and they work fine. Upon inspecting both the download buttons, the only difference I see is the one that does not download has a relative URL in its href value.
I am also using the following firefox options settings in my script, but with no help. Please guide me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
**************************
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", 'Path to Save The file')
fp.set_preference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf")
fp.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", "true")
# disable Adobe Acrobat PDF preview plugin
fp.set_preference("plugin.scan.plid.all", "false")
fp.set_preference("plugin.scan.Acrobat", "99.0")
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp,executable_path="path to my geckodriver")
self.driver.get("url")
I had the same problem - setting to disable pdfjs only worked when clicked manually on about:config page. Turned out that what seems to have solved the issue was (Firefox 60.6.1ESR):
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true);
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", false); // <= THIS
I've scenario like when clicking on one button its opening a Window Based PDF File:
I'm using Gecko driver Version -21.0 Firefox Version -61.0.1 Selenium Stand alone Server -3.13
I'm unable to switching to the window based PDF File getting error:
java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed in Result
The above error is coming for "driver.getWindowHandles()" method
It's working for Chrome and IE but when I'm using Gecko driver Version - 20.1, I'm able to Switching the Window Based PDF.
Can anyone help me with this?
I want to handle it by using latest gecko driver -21.0
Unfortunately, it is difficult to perform operations on pdf by switching tabs. The best way is to download the pdf and perform operations on the downloaded file using some java library or pdf-parser.
This usual behaviour of pdf is due to an enabled feature of pdf js. Disabling that in the firefox profile may solve your issue
Update your Firefox profile solves this issue.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference( "pdfjs.disabled", true );
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true );
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", false );
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", false);
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.migrationVersion", 2);
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.previousHandler.alwaysAskBeforeHandling", true);
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction", 4);
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setProfile(profile);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
which stops the pdf opening in new window and further you can implement a method to download the file and parse the downloaded file.
Hope this helps you :)
While running WebDriver automation scripts I came across a situation where it is trying to open a page which contain one segment with live camera (Made with Java applet). Once script reaches to this page - a Security Warning alert (with allow and not allow) shows up and blocks the execution process. Is this something that anyone faced before - actually I am looking for an option to block this security warning to get displayed on the page.
A popup is coming where i want to click on the "Allow". How to move the focus to the new popup window and click on Allow.
Can anyone please help me for the above problem?
I was having problems accepting the java applet "Allow"
My solution was to create a firefox profile that had the settings to always activate the plugin:
FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();
fp.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates( true );
fp.setPreference( "security.enable_java", true );
fp.setPreference( "plugin.state.java", 2 );
WebDriver d = new FirefoxDriver( fp );
Where plugin.state.java:
plugin.state.java = 0 --> never activate
plugin.state.java = 1 --> ask to activate
plugin.state.java = 2 --> always activate
This might get you closer...
Selenium uses a different firefox profile because Java was inactive for me and I did not have my firebug plugin in the Firefox browser Selenium launched. I would have to open another Firefox to use Firebug.
I found my default Firefox profile by searching %appdata% in the start menu then clicking on Roaming/ Mozilla/ Firefox/ Profile/ and then it gave my default profile name.
You can also open the firefox help menu (? logo) & click troubleshoot info... click Show Profile Folder
I then configured selenium to use my default profile so Java was enabled and Firebug was available in the browser Selenium launched:
Make sure that you use "/" in selenium even though it may use "\" in the windows path location
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile('C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/41s7nq9o.default')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(fp)
driver.get('www.stackoverflow.com')
where 41s7nq9o.default is the name of your default profile
