How to load a specific firefox profile using Selenium webdrivermanager? - selenium

Question

I'm trying to use webdrivermanager library to load firefox driver in my selenium tests. I'm unable to load a specific firefox profile using this library. Here is what i'm trying to do:
FirefoxDriverManager.getInstance().setup() // To instantiate the firefox driver
ProfilesIni Prof = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = Prof.getProfile("C:\\Users\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\6xv9ndwh.SELENIUM");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
But this instantiates a new driver and does not force the driver instantiated by firefoxdrivermanager to use the specific profile.
I tried using default gecko driver too that does not load the profile either. Here is the code that i'm trying:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\geckodriver\\geckodriver-v0.20.0-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile Profile = allProfiles.getProfile('default');
Profile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
Profile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(false);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(Profile);
Can someone help me on this please?

Answer 1

First of all create a new firefox profile
steps for it are
1. Run this command firefox.exe -p in run window
It will show this dialog box create profile with new name and exit the window.
After that perform this command in webdriver
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette", "Path to the exe of firefox driver");
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("UrProfile Name which u created");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
Hope it may help u...

This worked for me (though not using webdrivermanager) for instantiating webdriver using Gradle:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
capabilities.setCapability("acceptInsecureCerts", true);
driver = {new FirefoxDriver(capabilities)}
