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 :)

I want test the IE mode for Edge browser with Selenium. I found the solution on the MS site here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium/ie-mode?tabs=java
I am using the following code as given in the above link:
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerOptions;
InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
ieOptions.attachToEdgeChrome();
ieOptions.withEdgeExecutablePath("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);
I can get the error that the methods "attachToEdgeChrome()" and "withEdgeExecutablePath()" are not defined in the InternetExplorerOptions. Is there anything I am missing here?
Note: My selenium jar is selenium-server-4.0.0-alpha-2.jar
As per the ChangeLogs 0f Selenium v4.0.0.0-alpha-2:
Add Chromium-based Edge support. This involves adding a new Chromium driver to the tree too.
So ideally, the code block from the documentation Use Internet Explorer Driver to automate IE mode in Microsoft Edge should have worked seamlessly.
However, as per best practices instead of using the alpha and beta releases, you should always prefer the GA releases to execute your tests and you can pickup anyone from the following options:
Selenium v4.1.3
Selenium v4.1.2
Selenium v4.1.1
Selenium v4.1.0
Selenium v4.0.0
I'm trying to launch Edge using the EdgeHTML renderer mode, within Selenium, using Visual Studio C#.. I'm using the version 83.0.478.58 (64bit) and the driver 83.0.478.58 (64bit). Installed via nuget.
If I launch the browser using it works fine...
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.UseChromium = true;
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", #"C:\temp\");
EdgeDriver edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(options);
By default UseChromium is False, which should launch the browser in the EdgeHTML renderer. If I use the below code it will error out.
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", #"C:\temp\");
EdgeDriver edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(options);
The browser will open a new instance, but once the browser is open. The code bugs out and returns the error message,
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: 'The new session command returned a value ('Unknown error') that is not a valid JSON object.'
If I just try and simply initialise without the options, I still get the same error.
Anyone got any ideas? Looking around I see documentation and guides all over that launch the browser without UseChromium.
Cheers
Looks like you are trying to set the default download directory for the MS Edge legacy (EdgeHTML) browser using the Selenium code.
I want to inform you that it is possible to set the default download directory for the MS Edge (Chromium) browser as you had already tried that successfully but it is not possible to set the default download directory for the MS Edge legacy (EdgeHTML) browser using the Selenium code.
As a workaround, you can try to set the download directory manually.

I was trying to download the android apk file located at Hockey App share point but could only download a part of file not the complete file. Below is the code attached.
Below is the code that I have used to alter firefox configuration to handle the download pop-up
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);
profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false);
// profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "Downloads");
profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/vnd.android.package-archive");// MIME type for apk file
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
Also, I tried using Content Type header("text/html; charset=utf-8") value shown in the Network monitor of Firefox. But that didn't work as well.
Any other approach other than Selenium is also appreciated.
Why don't you use the api provided by hockey app. Its pretty easy .. you can get the build url from available versions and then download. I have written a script pretty straightforward.
https://support.hockeyapp.net/kb/api
P.S. You should use the token from a developer account . Tester account doesnt get the build_url. But that shouldnt be difficult just ask for a read only token.
After the Firefox self-upgraded to version 47, Selenium stopped working.
I followed the Javascript (Node.js) steps suggested by Mozilla regarding the Marionette driver, but the console says that it can't find Firefox on my current system, however the path to the browser is fine and standard.
The error is "Could not locate Firefox on the current system"
at C:\Users\\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\firefox\binary.js:115:11
If it matters, I use WebdriverJS.
I've had this happen and it always seems to be very random. This is a long shot but try changing the path and then putting the original back this has worked for me in the past.
I'm having a similar problem and see that there seem to be a wealth of problems with Firefox 47 and WebDriver (JS and other languages) being discussed in the GG group. Your only solution for now might be to downgrade - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/46.0.1/
Admittedly, downgrading did not solve my problem, but ymmv
I had the same problem and solved it by downloading the Developer Edition from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/. Apparently there is some conflict regarding using the developer edition of firefox.
In node_modules/selenium-webdriver/firefox/binary.js, line 99, this code :
let exe = opt_dev
? '/Applications/FirefoxDeveloperEdition.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin'
: '/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin';
found = io.exists(exe).then(exists => exists ? exe : null);
chose the DeveloperEdition, but I didn't have it, which caused found to be null and later an error is thrown in line 115.
Could it be that your Firefox is not installed in the default location? Mine is installed in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\, and I get the same error message as you.
Browsing the code (thanks #achie), I found the following in node_modules\selenium-webdriver\firefox\index.js:
* On Windows and OSX, the FirefoxDriver will search for Firefox in its
* default installation location:
*
* * Windows: C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).
* * Mac OS X: /Applications/Firefox.app
*
* For Linux, Firefox will be located on the PATH: `$(where firefox)`.
In other words, it's not even any use to put the Firefox directory in the PATH variable on Windows.
But the source code continues:
* You can configure WebDriver to start use a custom Firefox installation with
* the {#link Binary} class:
*
* var firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox');
* var binary = new firefox.Binary('/my/firefox/install/dir/firefox-bin');
* var options = new firefox.Options().setBinary(binary);
* var driver = new firefox.Driver(options);
In my case, that becomes:
var firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox');
var binary = new firefox.Binary('C:\\Users\\(username)\\AppData\\Local\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe');
var options = new firefox.Options().setBinary(binary);
var driver = new firefox.Driver(options);
Now Selenium finds my Firefox, but I get a next error message:
Error: Timed out waiting for the WebDriver server at http://127.0.0.1:53785/hub
I also tried var driver = new webdriver.Builder().forBrowser('firefox').setFirefoxOptions(options).build();, but that didn't make any difference.
Hope this helps you a bit further!
The folks at Mozilla are recommending using the Marionette driver as there is a start up crash issue with Selenium Webdriver 2.53 and Firefox 47/48
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/WebDriver
The latest Firefox 48 and Selenium Webdriver 3.0.0 solved this particular issue.
I am using Jmeter 2.13 alongside with a selenium webdriver plugin. When I start my thread it opens a new firefox session with all the cookies and cache cleared. In a previous session I have made a sync that lasts almost 5 minutes that brings me in my app some products. I don`t want to sync everytime I start the thread.
Is there any way I could start the new firefox session without clearing cookies/cache ?
If my guess is correct, that Selenium is the one that is opening an instance of Firefox, please see below. If not, please provide more info about what you have setup with code examples.
By default Selenium is opening the Firefox in Safe mode, where a lot of stuff are disabled (like extensions, localstore settings, etc). This also means that you won't have any cache or cookies.
You can read more about this here.
To disable this, you need to set the `toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes` setting key in in `about:config` to `-1`.
Selenium code wise, this can be achieved by setting the preference in the FirefoxProfile. C# code to achieve it would look like this:
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.SetPreference("toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes", "-1");
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
Looking into FirefoxDriverConfig.java source code the plugin creates new profile each time Firefox starts:
FirefoxProfile createProfile() {
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
String userAgentOverride = getUserAgentOverride();
String ntlmOverride = getNtlmSetting();
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(userAgentOverride)) {
profile.setPreference("general.useragent.override", userAgentOverride);
}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(ntlmOverride)) {
profile.setPreference("network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1", true);
}
profile.setPreference("app.update.enabled", false);
addExtensions(profile);
setPreferences(profile);
return profile;
}
So there are 2 options:
Get plugin source code and amend profile initialisation line to use your existing profile as:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile("/path/to/firefox/profile");
See How do I find my profile page of Mozilla documentation for instructions on how you can locate your current profile directory.
Stop using WebDriver Sampler and switch to JSR223 Sampler instead, it supports all the languages WebDriver Sampler does and provides full control (you'll have to write all the code to configure, start and stop browser yourself)
