How to enable adblock with seleniumlibrary in robotframework - selenium

Question

I would like to enable uBlock Origin plugin as ads on speedtest.net during robot framework test execution as ads completly jeopardize test result.
So far I have created a Python script to create a profile with extension
from selenium import webdriver
class WebDriverProfile:
def create_profile_with_adblock(self, path):
fp =webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.add_extension(extension='d:/pathtoextension/ublock_origin-1.24.0-an+fx.xpi')
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList",2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir",path)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", 'application/csv')
fp.update_preferences()
return fp.path
Also the following robot script to call the function:
*** settings ***
Library Selenium2Library
library Process
library Dialogs
Library WebDriverProfile.py
*** Variables ***
${URL} https://speedtest.net
*** Test Cases ***
Test with speedtest.net
${FF_PROFILE}= Create Profile With Adblock ${TEMPDIR}\\testdirff
Open Browser ${URL} browser=ff ff_profile_dir=${FF_PROFILE}
Execute Manual Step Is adblocker enabled?
The browser will open, but adblocker won't be there.
Anyone could help on this please?

Answer 1

Create webdriver instead of firefox profile and install add-on.
Python extension:
from selenium import webdriver
class WebDriverProfile:
def create_web_driver_with_addons(self):
extension_location='d:\\path_to_adblock\\ublock_origin-1.24.0-an+fx.xpi'
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.install_addon(extension_location, temporary=True)
browser.get('http://speedtest.net')
Robot script:
*** settings ***
Library Selenium2Library
library Process
library Dialogs
Library WebDriverProfile.py
*** Variables ***
${URL} https://speedtest.net
*** Test Cases ***
Test with speedtest.net
create web driver with addons
Execute Manual Step Is adblocker enabled?

You need to create a new browser profile with adblock manually installed firest.
Now, Call the above respective profile the by anyone of the below commands.
Open Browser http://example.com Firefox ff_profile_dir=/path/to/profile # Using profile from disk
Open Browser http://example.com Firefox ff_profile_dir=${FirefoxProfile_instance} # Using instance of FirefoxProfile
Open Browser http://example.com Firefox ff_profile_dir=set_preference("key", "value");set_preference("other", "setting") # Defining profile using FirefoxProfile mehtods~~~
