Currently our tests have a specific hostname in the url (eg. http://foo.bar/whatever)
We want to resolve foo.bar to a different IP when running the tests.
Manually we would do this by changing the host file or using this piece of c# code:
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://ip-of-foobar/whatever");
request.Host = "foo.bar";
We need to have the correct hostname... maybe there is another way setting request headers in Selenium?
From my knowledge, there is NO API in selenium to set the IP of the server you want to open the browser. get() takes the URL which contains the domain name or IP address. you can not set the value as you set using C# libraries.
As you want to change the domain name to IP address, following are the two options available:
Keep the IP address in a file. Use the language libraries to read the value from the file and set it to a variable. Use that variable wherever you are referencing the URL. example: driver.get("http://"+variable+"/") to get the home page.
Use the test framework capabilities. parameterization (parameter in testng, example) or data references. This allows you to define the value outside the code and then refer the value using a variable name in the code. Same as the first option, but avoids File reading activity. During the run, change the value, so it will be reflected everywhere.
please let us know the language and framework you are using, so I can try to give the exact solution based on above options.

A dynamic value that appears in the subsequent web requests appears in the Request Header throughout the script. I am unable to correlate this value as it is not available in response header / body section. How can I now correlate this value?
I have tried recording using VUGEN - HTML & URL Mode. I have also used Fiddler as well as HAR files exported via Chrome Developer Tools. None of them have any additional request/responses that could have been potentially missed while recording with VUGen or other tools.
The dynamic value appears in the Request Header like this :
Reference:

The "855b2a...." value appears throughout the script in different places like this below :-
web_custom_request("iUBVQU4qoHEAl9UkPVyXKjTxMt3bz-olj7yCJ6dulSOHbmIIDal",
"URL=https://****/suite/rest/a/sites/latest/ecase-case-worker/page/home/startProcess/iUBVQU4qoHEAl9UkPVyXKjTxMt3bz-olj7yCJ6dulSOHbmIIDal?cacheKey=**855b2a7b-a175-49e6-9ee0-7b7f37667197**",
I have manually verified in the application that it this value keeps changing every single time "Create application" link is clicked. Is there a way to capture this dynamically changing value?
If this is not sent to you from the server, as a correlated value, then what remains is that the value is generated on the client, likely as a part of a JavaScript function output.
Speak with the developer of your application about the location of the generation of this value. If it is locally generated then simply execute the JavaScript inside of your HTTP script or reproduce the algorithm in C for native inclusion in a C HTTP virtual user. You have some alternate paths as well, which includes the newer JavaScript based virtual user, Truclient (which runs a full browser), Citrix, RDP or GUI virtual users.
With Truclient, Citrix, RDP or GUI you are simply going to run a full browser and inherit the JavaScript execution and inclusion of the key value as a part of full stack execution.
The Fiddler recording helped in identifying the correlation value as it was hidden in one of the EXTRARES references, which wasn't captured anywhere by the VUGen. The request had to be subsequently added manually into the script to pick up the dynamic value in it's response.
Lemme come straight into this.
Well, I have implemented Nifi to localhost. It's working well and everything seems to be perfect.
I have made many different flows with headers of course within the cluster as below.
Cluster
When I right click the header and go to "View configuration" go to "Properties" will see as follows.
Processor details
You can see the "Listening Port" that is 10004 and a "hostname" as well. Then there is "Allowed path" as can be seen.
Now If I want to access this specific header I have to hit using 10.0.0.18:10004/spec/transform.
Now the issue is, I have many different headers which are having a different listening port that is assigned by me. NIFI is not allowing me to assign the same port for every flow I make. but I have to assign different port every time I make a new flow. I just want to assign port 10004 to every other flow and just differ them using the "Allowed path".
How come I make this possible. I have to always assign new port to every new flow. Is there a way to do that. Hope you guys understand what am I actually willing to have. Hope to have your answers soon.
Thank you
You can have one HandleHttpRequest at the beginning of your flow listening on port 10004, and set the "Allowed Paths" property to a regular expression that matches all of the paths you want to support. HandleHttpRequest will add the path as an attribute to each flow file named "http.context.path", so you could then use a RouteOnAttribute to route each path to a different part of the flow.
As Bryan Bende
but in nifi 1.14.0 that is attribute: http.request.uri
I'm learning to use the above testing software and was just wondering if there is any way so that selenium detects whatever browser the user is using rather then a specific driver having to be defined i.e.
private WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver()
Another quick question is how can I loop a test so that it repeats a set number of time?
Try using QAF. It has all configuration out side the code. For example you don't need to specify which driver you need to initiate in code instead you can provide as property in property file or in run configuration file like:
driver.name=firefoxDriver
There are lots of features specific to web, mobile web and native automation.
Here you can find step-by-step-tutorial to start with.
If you were using Java you could specify the browser in a properties file.
Failing that, you could use an environment variable.
Or you could put your choice in a file in your file system and read the value.
Lots of choices.
I have a custom plugin for serving images trought LDAP IPlugin
and IVirtualImageProvider now im doing a task of importing users from LDAP to our own system and as such i need to import those images, i was wondering if there is any way of using the plugin i previously created to import those images, perhaps something in the like of
ImageResizer.ImageJob i = new ImageResizer.ImageJob("http://host/ad/A68986", "~/uploads/<guid>.<ext>", new ImageResizer.ResizeSettings(
"width=2000;height=2000;format=jpg;mode=max"));
But the first parameter (source) would be "resolved" by my LDAP plugin, ImageResizer API
Edit: I figured out this is possible since source can be a IVirtualFile, that implies that i know in advance which one to create (for my case my own ldap) it would be nice to pass the url and somehow get the correct IVirtualFile
Yes, ImageJob resolves any 'app-relative virtual paths' using installed IVirtualImageProviders. Such paths must begin with "~/", and match the path prefix and syntax you've designed, of course.
In your case, this might look like
var i = new ImageResizer.ImageJob("~/ad/A68986", "~/uploads/<guid>.<ext>",
new ImageResizer.ResizeSettings("width=2000;height=2000;format=jpg;mode=max"));
You can also call Config.Current.Pipeline.GetFile to get an IVirtualFile reference based on a path, if you just want the original data.
suppose the DogManagementPro program is an application written in client/server architecture, where the customers who buys it is supposed to run the server on his own PC, and access it either locally or remotely.
suppose I want to support a "list all dogs" operations in the DogManagementPro REST API.
so a GET to http://localhost/DogManagerPro/api/dogs should fetch the following response now:
<dogs>
<dog>http://localhost/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/ralf</dog>
<dog>http://localhost/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/sparky</dog>
</dogs>
where I want to access it remotely on my local LAN, [the local IP of my machine is 192.168.0.33]
what should a a GET to http://192.168.0.33:1234/DogManagerPro/api/dogs fetch?
should it be:
<dogs>
<dog>http://localhost/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/ralf</dog>
<dog>http://localhost/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/sparky</dog>
</dogs>
or perhaps:
<dogs>
<dog>http://192.168.0.33/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/ralf</dog>
<dog>http://192.168.0.33/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/sparky</dog>
</dogs>
?
some people argue that I should subside the problem altogether by returning just a path element like so:
<dogs>
<dog>/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/ralf</dog>
<dog>/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/sparky</dog>
</dogs>
what is the best way?
I've personally always used non-absolute urls. It solves a few other problems as well, such as reverse / caching proxies.
It's a bit more complicated for the client though, and if they want to store the document as-is, it may imply they also now need to store the base url, or expand the inner urls.
If you do choose to go for the full-url route, I would not recommend using HTTP_HOST, but setup multiple vhosts, and environment variable and use that.
This solves the issue if you later on need proxies in front of your origin server.
I would say absolute URLs created based on the Host header that the client sent
<dogs>
<dog>http://192.168.0.33:1234/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/ralf</dog>
<dog>http://192.168.0.33:1234/DogManagerPro/api/dogs/sparky</dog>
</dogs>
The returned URIs should be something the client is able to resolve.
