I have developed a tool using Selenium webdriver. I am using the Chrome driver. I was wondering if its possible to run the Chrome browser that launches as administrator.
I cannot log in to the machine using the administrator account, but the administrator has allowed the use of 'Run as Administrator' without putting in the admin credentials. I am not technically sure how this is set up in the company.
The requirement that I'm doing needs to have the browser running as administrator.
Is this set up using System.setProperty or something else?
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/drivers/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);

I am trying to automate login to my project application which has login enabled through SSO. In my existing chrome window which I am using to inspect the webelements, I have logged into the application with my credentials.
With the same credentials I am trying to automate the login process. However, when I run my script after initializing the Chrome Driver, my Selenium window is directly opening the home page i.e. the page which loads after users successfully logs in to the application. The login window is not coming. On doing driver.get(applicationURL), the application is directly navigating to the landing page and not the login page.
I am assuming it is using the existing cookies/cache to login. However, my understanding is Selenium initiated windows are without any existing cookies or cache.
When I try running the same script on Chrome icognito mode, then the login window is opening.
This is my browser initialization code -
public static WebDriver driver;
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", TestUtil.CHROMEDRIVER_PATH);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
System.out.println("URL Is "+prop.getProperty("url"));
driver.get(prop.getProperty("url"));
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(TestUtil.IMPLICIT_WAIT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(TestUtil.PAGE_LOAD_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().timeouts().setScriptTimeout(TestUtil.SET_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
return driver;
**Chrome Version is - 108.0.5359.95 **
Chrome Driver version is 108.0.5359.71
can you use
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox", "--disable-dev-shm-usage")
instead of
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox")
I am running a headless firefox browser with Selenium. If I run it in GUI mode then it works fine but when I run it in headless mode then I get an error about element being obstructed.
I really need a way to connect the Firefox remote debugger so I can see what is happening in the headless browser.
How do I enable remote debugging in selenium headless browser?
You can debug marionette Gecko Driver by enabling trace logs and change the log level in order to get trace logs:
You can use FirefoxOptions in Selenium Java client to change the log level
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setLogLevel(FirefoxDriverLogLevel.TRACE);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
For more information have a look at Firefox Source docs. More reading about debugging is here
From what I understand so far, Chrome Driver always starts without any stored browser cookies.
I need the driver start with all the cookies stored by Chrome.
I wonder if there is any way to start the driver with the cookies that are already stored? I'm using C# with .net 4.5.
Yes we can do it by invoking saved chrome profile just like firefox profile. below are steps i noted when i am doing bit back ago
in Java, we can do it by using ChromeOptions and Chrome Profile. In chrome navigate to chrome://version/ It will display profile path and Executable path.
As per my working on this, The profile path is \Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 3 This is displaying what is displayed when i navigate to chrome://version/ in normal chrome browser. In this profile, i navigated to stackoverflow and saved credentials. So used below code
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("binary", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\selenium_setups\\poi-3.12\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\murali\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 3");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
//WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/");
As per my understanding, i excepted stackoverflow.com page displayed as logged in. but for first time, i am not logged in. so cross checked with chrome://version/ in chrome opened by driver, profile path is displayed as
\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 3\Default . then logged manually in that profile it self, which is opened by webdriver and executed gain by closing it.
Finally, page is displayed as logged in. So it may be in java, i hope it will helps you to try in C# .
I want to open Chrome on the client side using selenium webdriver. I have a piece of code and it works fine for single system, but I can't access it in another system.
I am using selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar, chromedriver for the purpose.
This is the code I use to open browser:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
driver=new ChromeDriver();
Is the ChromeDriver on the other system in the same place as on the single system?
Try something like the following (in java):
String currentDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
String chromeDriverLocation = currentDir + "/../tools/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe";
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriverLocation);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("test-type");
options.addArguments("disable-plugins");
options.addArguments("disable-extensions");
WebDriver chrome = new ChromeDriver(options);
chrome.get("http://www.google.com");
Selenium webdriver can be used in different languages.
I can give you an example.
A web application is developed by using python in back-end and front-end is built up with html and a interpreted programming language like javascript. If we use selenium webdriver with python then browser opens at server side. and if we use selenium with javascript then browser opens at client side.
I installed the selenium plugin in Firefox for automating a monitoring process. When i record the test case and rerun it it fails for pop up validation in the end. So i'm i'm confirming the monitoring as successful when i got a pop up at the end saying "successful". So i record the test case using selenium and when i rerun it at the end when its waiting for pop up to come two things are happening
the pop up in the record playback its not coming up.
the test case is failing for the pop up.
Please also suggest if i can use IE with selenium
Here You can check very good and easy example for how to handle javascript popup using selenum web driver : Selenium Webdriver for Javascript popup
To use IE with selenium web driver do following :
1 - Download IE driver of selenium web driver from HERE
2 - You can all IE driver from selenium web driver as per below :
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "D:/IEDriver.exe");
InternetExplorerDriver IEDriver=new InternetExplorerDriver();
Note : In above code "D:/IEDriver.exe" is example path , you please set actual path where you have put your IE drivers.
