Side Runner argument for 'binary' not working - selenium

I am trying to specify the binary path to a specific browser location as described on this website https://www.selenium.dev/selenium-ide/docs/en/introduction/command-line-runner. However the example just does not work. Running the command (with the proper path)
selenium-side-runner -c "goog:chromeOptions.binary='/path/to/non-standard/Chrome/install'"
Generates an error:
TypeError: Target browser must be a string, but is <undefined>; did you forget to call forBrowser()?
Any ideas as to what is going on here?


I had this error too! That section of documentation may be outdated. I resolved the error by using additional params instead.
Here is the format:
selenium-side-runner --broswerName=chrome --chromeOptions="binary='/path/to/non-standard/Chrome/install'"
And here is my example:
selenium-side-runner --broswerName=chrome --chromeOptions="binary='C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application'" sitegrammarstorevariable.side


I have an Applications folder in my $HOMEdirectory on the Mac and this worked for me:
eval selenium-side-runner -c \"browserName=chrome goog:chromeOptions.binary=\'$HOME/Applications/Google/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome\'\" *.side
eval is used to generalize the command to any user's home directory.
You have to set both the browser name and the path to the binary this way to make it function properly.

Tensorflow Object Detection API - PYTHONPATH unsets itself, when using different terminal

This might be a silly question, but I didn't find anything on the internet. I am trying to run the object_detection API of tensorflow in Windows 10. I've installed all the packages correctly and I've also added the "models" directory to the PYTHONPATH, using windows cmd:
set PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\Tensorflow\models
And I also verify that the PYTHONPATH is set correctly, by typing set PYTHONPATH, which gives me this output:
PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\Tensorflow\models
Running the following test
python research/object_detection/builders/model_builder_tf2_test.py
I get the output:
Ran 20 tests in 37.331s
OK (Skipped 1)
Which is great. However, If I open another terminal and type
python research/object_detection/builders/model_builder_tf2_test.py
I get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named official
However, If i type set PYTHONPATH command to verify that the PYTHONPATH is correct I get:
PYTHONPATH=C:\Users\Kohli\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\Tensorflow\models;C:\Users\Kohli\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\Tensorflow\models\official;C:\Users\Kohli\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\Tensorflow\models\research
which is different from the previous terminal output. Moreover, when I open the "Enviroment Variables" tab, I can see that PYTHONPATH exists.
If I add the models directory to PYTHONPATH once again, It will work, but Only for that particular terminal. However, I don't understand why this is happening. Does the "set PYTHONPATH" command creates a virtual environment for that particular terminal or something? How can i permanently add models dir to PYTHONPATH, without typing set PYTHONPATH or os.path.append('path/to/models') ?
Thanks in advance

Folders are not creating after running this command - manifoldjs -l debug -p edgeextension -f edgeextension -m <EXTENSION LOCATION>\manifest.json

This is command for packaging edge extension -
manifoldjs -l debug -p edgeextension -f edgeextension -m \manifest.json.
- I gave here the path of my extension manifest.json file.
After manifoldjs finished running following folders should create -
My Extension
edgeextension
generationInfo.json
manifest
AppXManifest.xml
Assets
Logo.png
Extension
manifest.json
popup.html
...
But in my case, folders are not creating and I am unable to package my extension.

I try to check the description and it looks like you are developing an extension for the MS Edge legacy browser.
I try to refer to the official docs and try to create and package sample extension.
I got the output below:
When I try to check the folder then I noticed that folder is empty. So based on my test result I am able to produce the issue.
I try to check the old threads and found that it is a known issue.
I found that issue occurs if the users are using the Node V10. In that thread, users had mentioned that it will work fine with the Node V8. I suggest trying to make a test with the Node V8 may help you to fix the issue.
Further, I suggest you can try to provide feedback about this issue on their Github page.

How to Use Command Line Parameters by using JMeter?

I'm using Jmeter for testing APIs and I want to parametrize the project's path from the terminal and then I want to use this parameter in JMeter. I set testurl = test.com in basic terminal and i want to get this url by using testurl. The parameter that I've sent via Command Line : ./jmeter -n -t your_script.jmx -l -Jurl=$testurl in homebrew terminal. The parameter that I've used in httpsRequest --> Server name or IP; ${__P(url)}. But when I run my automation in the homebrew terminal, my test scripts are not going to URL that's been defined. Please help me!! Thanks.

From first impression it seems what you are trying should work, but devil is in the detail. I would suggest you try:
Verify if the environment variable is set correctly use export testurl=test.com (removed spaces). Try verify using echo $testurl
Try debug sampler which should help you verify if JMeter is picking up the var correctly: https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/how-debug-your-apache-jmeter-script/
Hope this helps.

I am trying to open Jmeter by the batch file but it gives me a Windows error

Here is the related error its showing:
java.exe is not a recognized file as an internal or external command,
operable or external command
errorlevel=9009

i was getting the same error on WIndows 8.1(64 bit) and checked java path but it was ok
so i just run my jmeter.bat with Run as Administrator and it worked for me

Many operating systems have an environment variable such as PATH that contains a list of directories (or folders) to be searched when looking for a command to execute. Commands that can be found via the PATH are commonly called external commands. The program that reads the command line or the batch file and invoked the commands may have a number of built in commands, these are commonly called internal commands.
I suggest you examine the PATH (or equivalent) set when your java command executes from the command line and also when execution is attempted from the batch file. Compare the two and make sure the directory containing your java.exe is in the PATH.

Does not work with Java 9 beta:
Running:
C:\java -version
Gives:
java version "9-ea"
Just go into command line and run:
java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar

Set the correct Java Path (installed in your system) in Computer -> Advanced System settings -> Environment Variables -> Ok -> System Variables -> Path
I got the same issue and resolved by following the above steps.

I tried everything, this eventually worked.
Within System Variables:
PATH = "C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin"
May help someone.

This error occurs due to the path has not been set properly.
Either you can set it in environmental varialables or right click jmeter .bat file,choose edit set the path their,for reference see the jmeter.apache.org user manuals.

For me, my Java path has a space in it and jmeter said it can't find Java
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
.. I looked at the jmeter.sh script and saw it got the path from "Plugin-Ins" .. onward. I tried just commenting out the exit command after that check in the script .. and then I was able to run jmeter.
So apparently the validation logic has a bug, where the error message about can't find java is in fact not true (if Java is indeed set up correctly), so it can be ignored.

For windows 8.1 Users:
Error when trying to run jmeter.bat
Error message:
Not able to find Java executable or version. Please check your Java installation. errorlevel=2
Press any Key to continue
Resolution:
Right Click jmeter.bat and Run as Administrator.
This worked for me, hope this helps. Good luck

Set the correct JM_LAUNCH variable to java.exe

For Windows XP users set Java environment by following the steps here:
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jmeter/jmeter_environment.htm
Note the path depends on your installed JDK.
And download the file from:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/trunk/bin/jmeter.bat
Then replace your jmeter.bat with the downloaded file.

If you have installed Java and still you get this error, please set the java_home path to below using typing below command in terminal:
export JAVA_HOME="/Library/InternetPlugIns/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home"

Since I run many versions of Java.. I modified jmeter.bat.
rem JM_START - set this to "start" to launch JMeter in a separate window
rem this is used by the jmeterw.cmd script.
rem
rem =====================================================
setlocal
rem Minimal version to run JMeter
set MINIMAL_VERSION=1.8.0
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Java80\jre\bin <<< add This line to jmeter.bat

Copied the JAVA executable from Installed version of Java from C:\Program FilesJava\jdk1.8.0_191\bin and pasted in the folder where the jmeter bat resides and it worked for me.

Not exactly the same issue but somebody might find it helpful
Do not double click jmeter.bat but instead ApacheJMeter.jar in the same directory
For me jmeter.bat run but for a brief moment closing almost immediately and not prompting any error. Above workaround allowed me to start working

if JAVA -version shows as blank or empty in the command prompt (CMD) then you need to clear the all java paths in environment variable and again add JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.15.1
path= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.15.1\bin;
if you see C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath; like this remove this
and try in new CMD prompt then Java -version will work.

selenium-rc in bsd

I'm trying to run selenium-rc in bsd and get the following error

Adding firefox-bin to my path does not help.
What is the second option? ("or explicitly specify a path to Firefox like this")
Any solutions?

Trying specifying the path by replacing "*firefox" with "*firefox /path/to/firefox-bin".

In my ubuntu 9.04 setup, I added the '/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.11' to my $PATH
