First I tried applying RFT scripts to Mozilla Firefox, which were working fine with IE. Scripts failed. So I tried identifying test objects using RFT test object identifier in firefox, its failed to identify even.
I guessed may be that is the issue why those scripts are failed. It will be more helpful if anybody help me out on this.
Thanks in advance.
What version of RFT and FF are you using ?
Browser requires enablement for FF it would mean that we need enable it from RFT which will install an add-on /extension in Firefox that you can see under Tool> add-ons in FF.
Also we need to enable the java that is being used by the browser.

With Robot Framework and its Selenium Library, I need to open specifically Firefox, get to a repository on GitLab and download a certain file. Please don't question the tool choice, I was asked to do this with Robot on Firefox and I have to do it with Robot on Firefox. Nothing crazy on the surface actually, but I found out that GitLab runs a "check" on the browser and apparently Selenium gets stuck.
I've searched for solutions, but they all apply to either Selenium on Java, Python, etc., and most of them are about Chrome. Only a handful of unclear ones talk about Firefox and none about Robot with Selenium. I've tried to adapt some of them, such as the following:
SeleniumLibrary.Open Browser browser=firefox
... ff_profile_dir=set_preference("dom.webdriver.enabled","false");set_preference("useAutomationExtension","false")
SeleniumLibrary.Go To ${UrlGitLab}
But it doesn't work. It's still stuck on the page
Checking your browser before accessing gitlab.com.
This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your
requested content shortly.
Please allow up to 5 seconds…
It looks like it tries to reload (?) a couple of times, but it won't go further.
Is there a solution, or a workaround that doesn't completely ditch Robot + Selenium with Firefox?
Since browser auto-update runs on the system unless we manually turn it off,
how to automate in selenium to identify if there is a browser upgraded?
If the browser updates e.g. Chrome, you will need to have the compatible binary for that browser. There's a good answer and overview on this here.
To avoid this, I personally used ephemeral instances of Chrome, specifically SauceLabs and containerized tests using docker-selenium.
I need to check functionality if a file is uploading longer then 1 minute.
To check it with manual testing I use Chrome Dev Tools to set Throttling "Slow 3G".
But I can't figure out how to do it with TestCafe.
TestCafe does not have an API to set the throttling. However, TestCafe uses Chrome DevTools Protocol internally so you can get access to internal CDP methods.
Please refer to the following links to get started:
Chrome DevTools Protocol
chrome-remote-interface package
chrome-remote-interface repo
Please also take a look at the following example which shows how to enable file downloading in chrome headless.
I think you need to combine this example with the CDP Network.emulateNetworkConditions method.
Please refer to this article https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Network#method-emulateNetworkConditions
I can handle it with FF web driver (selenium python) but when I change phantomjs the driver .it didnt handle it. is it possible to handle it?
the program must work on server so what must I do?
In short, no, this is not currently possible. The PhantomJS ghostdriver does not implement the primitives for handling alerts/prompts. See https://github.com/detro/ghostdriver/issues/20
This is also unlikely to change since development of PhantomJS has been discontinued.
the program must work on server so what must I do?
Your best option is to use the headless versions of Chrome or Firefox, which can run in a headless environment like PhantomJS just fine. Both Chrome (chromedriver) and Firefox (geckodriver) implement the necessary primitives for handling alerts/prompts.
Another option is that you can use a virtual screen program (e.g. xvfb) to enable you to use a headed browser in a headless environment.
I'm trying to get Selenium tests to work through PHPUnit. My tests pass in Firefox, but not in IE9. In IE, no matter what combination of settings I've tried, when the Selenium server is running IE will not go directly to the page, and instead displays "There is a problem with this website's security certificate".
If I shut down Selenium, I can use IE to access the site being tested with no problems.
I've tried telling IE that the CyberVillians cert is OK, I've added the cert to IE's list of certs, and tried various Selenium Server command line options.
For what it's worth, I'm using the very latest Selenium and PHPUnit files (downloaded today).
Any ideas?
The solution was indeed to abandon using Selenium RC.
I ended up using chibimagic's Webdriver for PHP, and everything works great. I'll probably end up writing a brokering class to make in interface more like that of PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase. That way, I can work up test scripts using Selenium IDE, using their PHP formatter, and then just paste into my unit test.
