I am using Selenium with Java. Is there a way to know whether the browser of the webdriver is minimized?
you can use getSize() to get the window size, like this
Dimension d= driver.manage().window().getSize();//returns of the browser window dimension
System.out.println(d);

I'm trying to figure out how to hide the border (including the address bar, tabs, title bar... everything that isn't the browser viewport) of my Firefox instance instantiated by Selenium.
If there's some way to have it use a userChrome.css, that would be straightforward enough. I've tried loading a profile folder that included a userChrome.css using this answer as a guide, but it seemed to ignore the styles. I've also looked through Firefox's about:config to see if there's some preference that would hide the frame of the window, but I haven't found anything yet.
Any solution that allows me to hide all or some of these elements when creating the instance with Selenium would be helpful. I know it's silly, but that's how it goes sometimes, you know?
-edit-
I don't think the title bar needs to be hidden. But everything else should be hidden.
-another edit to clarify a few things-
I mentioned kiosk mode in the comments as an example of the sort of thing I'm going for. Kiosk mode isn't exactly what I'm looking for, though. The windows aren't meant to be fullscreen, but they should still lack the elements of a common browser window. Think of it as like an Electron app. Out of the box, Electron lacks an address bar, tabs, etc. That's basically what we have for our app, but it's with regular-old Firefox. Again, whether these elements are displayed or not doesn't typically impact the test, but we want them hidden anyway.
Finally, I a friend of mine tried achieving this goal using a userChrome.css wrapped in a Firefox profile and was able to get Selenium to use the userChrome. So perhaps I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. The biggest difference between how he did it and how I'm doing it is I must use a remote web driver for testing. But even still, it should be able to load the userChrome.css file. I'll try to update this question with more details as I fiddle with it some more.
-edit-
I think the reason userChrome isn't working when specifying a profile is because of the version(s) of Selenium/Geckodriver/Firefox being used.
The geckodriver version I started with was 0.15. 0.17 behaved exactly the same. 0.18 didn't respect the profile I passed along to it at all and instead had Firefox open the profile selection window (not very useful, but I was able to at least select the correct profile and see the userChrome.css get applied). 0.24 is no different.
Firefox is 52.9.0. Not much I can do about that.
We're using selenium (standalone) server 3.8.1. Switching out for 3.141.59 Didn't change anything.
Unless there's a version combination that will work with Firefox 52, I think the only thing I can do is wait until there's an update.
At last I have figured it out. In order to get Selenium to use my custom profile, I needed to do the following:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(new File(path_to_profile));
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setProfile(profile);
RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(options.toCapabilities());
driver.get(url_of_webpage);
Thanks to avinesh09 on Github for the info I needed to solve the problem. It's so simple, but this has to be the only way that I neglected to try to load the profile.
If fullscreen (kiosk) mode is what you ask for (as then all you see is the viewport) it is as simple as:
driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
It is the same user experience as pressing "F11" in your browser.
I found articles about opening browser extension as a page - but my extension inject JS to the current page - and extension can not inject code to chrome* pages. My only choice is SikuliX? Also with SikuliX I can test the badge of my button. I think that with SikuliX I simulate real user behaviour - such tests about UI interactions looks like more robust for me. Also nice to test CSS correctness.
I tried to setup a hotkey for my extension:
But
driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.CONTROL + 'I') (Python) or driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "I") (Java)
do nothing, but I can press Ctrl+I and I see popup-UI opened.
UPDATE: I tried to use pyautogui for mouse clicking - but even with opened extension popup UI driver.window_handles does not include it :(
You can configure webdriver to load your extension in to the browser while launching as well. Once your extension in loaded , it can inject required code that i am assuming makes some changes to html such as adding / removing some html elements or applying some styles which can be then tested using Selenium. You can also execute javascript using selenium.
Sikuli framework is based on image recognition and then simulating user interactions on it using mouse and keyboard . Your test cases might break under these scenarios :
Change in resolution which may even result in layout changes
Change in theme of the application resulting in color changes of ui-elements
It will require focus ,etc.
Currently, I test my extension by comparing expected and actual screenshots, using Selenium web driver, pyautogui (for interactions with extension) and opencv2 (for computer vision), see more at https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2014/09/15/python-compare-two-images/
Is it possible to detect instances of firefox browsers that are being controlled by Selenium and geckodriver?
Note there is a corresponding answer for chromedriver, but I'd like to know whether this is possible for firefox/geckodriver.
Yes you can detect geckodriver controlled selenium with a simple check in JavaScript
var runningSelenium = !("showModalDialog" in window);
As others have pointed out, there are a variety of different ways that a site can fingerprint and detect that you are running a browser that has been automated by selenium. Luckily though, some of the detection mechanisms are remarkably simple and just look for a bunch of environmental defaults, such as the screen size etc.
For example, when using Selenium for testing the app OAUTH sign-up sequences for Dropbox etc, the CAPTCHA stage can be avoided by just setting the screen to a non-default value (and offsetting the browser window to simulate a taskbar):
##headless = Headless.new( dimensions: '1600x1200x24' )
##headless.start
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
width = browser.execute_script( 'return screen.width;' )
height = browser.execute_script( 'return screen.height;' ) - 95
browser.driver.manage.window.resize_to( width, height )
browser.driver.manage.window.move_to( 0,0 )
I am testing the browser for mobile responsiveness. I changed the browser window size to iPhone 5 which is 320 x 568 using this command
driver.Manage().Window.Size = new Size(320, 568);
When I run the test, the browser opens fine according to the mentioned size without any issue. But it fails to find a hyperlink text which is displayed on the page. I get Element not visible exception when I could actually see the link text on the screen. So, could anyone help me solve this issue or have any ideas that I could try?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Perhaps it's due to the time delay, that means code executes even before the link appears, So write the following code in your language
Code from Ruby Selenium-binding
wait = Selenium::WebDriver::Wait.new(timeout: 10) # seconds
wait.until { driver.find_element(id: "foo").displayed? }
driver.find_element(id: "foo").click
Try to scroll to the element.
You could use java script to do that.
In Python this can be done via
WebDriver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", elem)
Some elements of the DOM of the webpage change when you test for mobile responsiveness, so selenium is unable to locate the element that you are specifically trying to target.So, you should try to debug and find the methods where the code is failing to perform the action.Then you should find the locators for those elements in "mobile responsiveness view" and trigger only those methods when you are testing for mobile.
Does anybody know how to simulate typing on Chromium? I want to simulate real typing and I successfully used combination of keydown+keypress+keyup on firefox. However, this approach does not work on Chrome. I tried key{down|press|up}native but that does not help, either. Using type command does not work, because it is not simulating the real typing, it is just setting the input element's value. I know there is a bug in Chromium where one is not able to dispatch key events successfully, but I wasn't sure does Selenium works on javascript level, or maybe on window level. Is this an obstacle I can't get over?
Thanks!
I don't know how you are using Selenium but if you are using it through Selenium RC API you can use normal type (which copies the string into the field). After that try using something like fireEvent("yourstringlcoator", "KeyUp"). This has worked for me in a situation when I wanted the keyUP event triggered (this was with jQuery datatables actually).
