I'm using Chrome browser version 57.0.2987.110 and I'm trying to open up a web page with Selenium, only thing is it's only opening the browser with the standard website but is not opening the web page I told it to. It's not an option to change the browser, I have to work with chrome.
I get this error right here:
Request for unknown Channel-associated interface: ui::mojom::GpuMain
I tried this solution so far, but it didn't work for me: Strange error in selenium after upgrading to chromedriver 2.28 needed for chrome 57
This is my code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver;
String PROXY;
Proxy proxy;
proxy = new Proxy();
PROXY = "proxy.myproxy:8080";
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/bin/google-chrome");
proxy.setHttpProxy(PROXY).setFtpProxy(PROXY).setSslProxy(PROXY);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
driver.get("www.facebook.com");
}
I've just been starting with selenium and just wrote down everything really quick to try it out in main class. I know it's not pretty. Please bear with me. What am I doing wrong?
You need to update your both selenium jars and update your chrome browser as well

I am running selenium scripts on Edge browser. one of the functionality requires to initiate a audio or video call between two windows. In chrome, we can use 'use-fake-ui-for-media-stream' in chrome options. Is there anything similar for Edge. If there isn't, is there a way to accept these alerts at runtime. I have tried -
driver.switchTo().alert().accept(),
but this also doesn't work, and throws error saying no such alert present
Edited
I am using Edge chromium and java selenium and have set properties as below in code. Still permission pop up shows when script runs
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_settings.popups", 0);
prefs.put("download.default_directory", fileDownloadLocation);
EdgeOptions options= new EdgeOptions();
options.setCapability("prefs", prefs);
options.setCapability("allow-file-access-from-files", true);
options.setCapability("use-fake-device-for-media-stream", true);
options.setCapability("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream", true);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.edge;
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS,true);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_INSECURE_CERTS,true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver", getDriverPath("EDGE"));
driver = new EdgeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
I suggest you make a test with the sample code below. I tried to test with the Edge Chromium browser and it looks like it is not asking the permission popup.
JAVA code:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver","\\msedgedriver.exe");
EdgeOptions op=new EdgeOptions();
op.addArguments("use-fake-device-for-media-stream");
op.addArguments("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream");
WebDriver browser = new EdgeDriver(op);
browser.get("https://your_URL_here...");
}
In Selenium 3.141 Version we dont have addArguments() method but in Selenium 4.0.0 alpha version we have addArguments() method
EdgeOptions edgeOpts = new EdgeOptions();
edgeOpts.addArguments("allow-file-access-from-files");
edgeOpts.addArguments("use-fake-device-for-media-stream");
edgeOpts.addArguments("use-fake-ui-for-media-stream");
edgeOpts.addArguments("--disable-features=EnableEphemeralFlashPermission");
driver = new EdgeDriver(edgeOpts);
For context, I use a serenity.properties file for my webdriver configurations.
I am using serenity 2/cucumber 4/java.
I wanted to use something similar to how Chrome driver works with serenity properties.. Something like:
chrome.capabilities.acceptInsecureCerts = true
Which allows me to bypass that the security certificate error for Chrome Driver.
But I couldn't find something similar to this configuration for the serenity IE driver.
My question is: is there a way to do this via serenity.properties configurations similarly for IE driver, rather then having to declare and pass something like this?
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);
source
Things I've tried while running on my selenium grid:
iexplorer.capabilities.acceptInsecureCerts = true
iexplorer.capabilities.acceptSslCerts = true
iexplorer.capabilities.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringSecurityDomains = true
iexplorer.capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled = true
Should iexplorer.capabilities even work?
Example of security certificate error on IE:
I have checked the selenium IE webdriver document and github forum, and search lots of resources about how to handle the SSL Certificate in Selenium IE WebDriver. It seems that we could only set the ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS property via the DesiredCapabilities method, and use the following code for IE Webdriver:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","IEDriverServer.exe");
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);
I am writing a webapp that has a browser plugin component for both firefox and chrome. My current testing system uses a series of Selenium tests created through Selenium IDE.
Is it possible to also have selenium install, activate, and delete browser plugins for firefox and chrome (possibly other browsers as well)?
I think the biggest concern is that installing/enabling the browser plugin requires a browser restart, and I'm not sure if that would through selenium off.
The acquisition of the plugin is easily handled by visiting an internal site-link to a php-script that detects your browser.
The answer is Yes, Selenium 2 supports (remote) installation of browser extensions.
The Chrome and Firefox WebDriver support the installation of extensions, remotely. Here's sample code for Chrome and Firefox:
Chrome
File file = new File("extension.crx"); // zip files are also accepted
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(file);
// Option 1: Locally.
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
Firefox
File file = new File("extension.xpi");
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.addExtension(file);
// Option 1: Locally
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, firefoxProfile);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
I have also implemented automated installation of Opera and Safari extensions, and they have been merged upstream:
OperaDriver: https://github.com/operasoftware/operadriver/pull/93
SafariDriver: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/pull/87
Opera
This API is similar to the FirefoxDriver.
File file = new File("extension.oex"); // Must end with ".oex"
OperaProfile operaProfile = new OperaProfile();
operaProfile.addExtension(file);
// Option 1: Locally
WebDriver driver = new OperaDriver(operaProfile);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.opera();
capabilities.setCapability("opera.profile", operaProfile);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
Safari
This API is similar to the ChromeDriver.
File file = new File("extension.safariextz");
SafariOptions options = new SafariOptions();
options.addExtensions(file);
// Option 1: Locally.
WebDriver driver = new SafariDriver(options);
// Option 2: Remotely
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
capabilities.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
Internet Explorer
Good luck.
Short answer: no
Installing a browser extension is outside of the scope of handling in Selenium.
In Chrome, it displays a modal window that is not "clickable" with Selenium when you want to add a plugin or app. Chrome does not require restarting.
Firefox has the same kind of behaviour to prompt for extension permissions.
You can try something that resides outside of the browser to do what you want. Sikuli might do the trick.
I am a new user of Selenium. I want to use it to start up the Chrome browser but I have a problem.
public static void processor(String url, String name) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:/Documents and Settings/jingxiong/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(url);
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name(name));
element.sendKeys("google");
element.submit();
System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
When I run this example the Chrome browser starts ok but without configured plugins, my settings or bookmarks. What should I do to cause it load these?
Thank you.
You should first read chromedriver document in selenium wiki. Its available here - http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
As mentioned in the wiki:-
Similarly, to load an extension when Chrome starts:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--load-extension=/path/to/extension/directory"));
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
I am using the code from this site (http://darrellgrainger.blogspot.com/2011/02/using-selenium-20-with-webdriver-and.html) to run Selenium tests in Safari 5. The code goes like this:
Selenium sel = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*safari", baseURL);
CommandExecutor executor = new SeleneseCommandExecutor(sel);
DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
WebDriver browser = new RemoteWebDriver(executor, dc);
browser.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement input = browser.findElement(By.name("q"));
input.sendKeys("Selenium");
So I start a Selenium server standalone version on the localhost machine and I register a test node (also on localhost) to the Selenium hub. Then I start the test. I then get the following exception: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Could not start Selenium session: org%2Eopenqa%2Egrid%2Ecommon%2Eexception%2EGridException%3A+Error+forwarding+the+new+session+The+server+returned+an+error+%3A+
I don't know what error. There is no server output on the console. Does anyone have ideas? I used the newest version (2.17.0) of Selenium.
EDIT: I just tried "firefox" instead of safari and it outputs the same exception. So actually it's not the fault of safari. Maybe there is something wrong with executing Selenium 1 code via the grid?
Try This:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setBrowserName("safari");
capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
CommandExecutor executor = new SeleneseCommandExecutor(new URL("http://localhost:5555/"), new URL("http://www.google.com/"), capabilities);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(executor, capabilities);
driver.get("http://google.com");
Don't create DefaultSelenium object. The above code works well for me with Safari browser.
