I have been testing an app using Firefox Web Driver but it is really slow comparing with HtmlUnitdriver, so I decided to translate to last one. All works fine but I have problems with some kind of links that loads information async.
In my case it is not problem of "wait" because I do and as i said before, using Firefox driver works very well. But with HtmlUnit doesnt work well.
In my scene I have following code:
Send
Viewing the app on a browser such as Firefox, when I click on that link, the system return me a result. But when I use HtmlUnitdriver, when I do click to the element, the driver goes directly to the href and then I have a bad result.
I don't really know how to do make works with it. I'm really interested on this way because is really fast.

I'm trying to write a test for a simple API, which always fails because of a strange browser behaviour.
The response coming from the API is just some plain text:
foo-bar-123
I can see exactly that in the browser window and also as response in the network tab.
Okay so far, but when I look at the Inspector, I see something like that:
<html><head></head><body>foo-bar-123</body></html>
If I control the browser with selenium, the result of webdriver.page_source is the same.
For reasons I don't understand, the browser adds some HTML tags to the content.
Is this some strange kind of "feature"? Can this be switched off?
I don't think it's a bug because both Firefox and Chrome are showing this behaviour.
I just want to get the real content without any fancy stuff the browser thinks I need.
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 know this is and oldie, and I apologize for that. But I still haven't found a solution to this.
I have recently tried to test my OpenLayers-based app with Selenium. But when I click on the map, it doesn't detect the click in Selenium. I have searched all over the Internet. Some people say it is a bug from Selenium, other claim to have found a workaround.
I have tried all these solutions and I am getting no results. The clicks still don't work.

Could you please explain it better? Or maybe show an example?
Thanks
PS: I am new to Selenium, so it might be a bit more difficult for me to understand it.
I don't know if this is the best solution, but meanwhile I have started using Selenium WebDriver, more specifically, the Java version.
I have watched this video about automated tests and it helped a lot for getting on the right track. The video shows some examples of the use of Selenium WebDriver (the C# version, but it is similar to the Java version).
I have installed the ChromeDriver but you can also do it fully in Firefox.
I use JUnit for the tests.
In Selenium IDE, you "record" the tests and then you replay them.
Here, in Selenium WebDriver, you fully write the tests, without recording anything.
For example, you write code for the following steps:
1) Open the web page of my OpenLayers (or other) app.
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://localhost/myOpenLayersApp/index.php");
2) Click on the button that opens page X
driver.findElement(By.id("Button-Go-to-page-X")).click();
3) Checks if you have indeed navigated to page X
boolean check = driver.findElement(By.id("Header-X"))
.getText()
.equals("This is page X.");
Assert.assertTrue(check);
This was a very simple example of how to use Selenium WebDriver. At least, this is how I use it.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask. :)
Note: Watch the video if you are new to this. It is a very good lesson about automated testing.
I'm having a little trouble nailing down what's causing a particular issue. I'm fairly new to automation testing and I'm having a strange problem. The website I'm testing has an auto suggest function which works absolutely fine when checking manually. The problem is when loading a browser using the Selenium webdriver (I've tried firefox, chrome and IE drivers) that the auto suggest is simply not loading.
It's like the part of the page to do with that and a date/time mini popup aren't loading at all so none of them work when running scripts. Has anyone else had this and resolved it? or is it an issue with the web page itself?
Thanks
You may need to fire an event which by default webdriver is not envoking with sendKeys.
Asking you developer how it works in their code, and then extend selenium to replicate this behaviour.
Also, have you tried do sendKeys one character at a time with a small sleep in-between
I'm trying to get screenshots from a web page with multiple browsers. Just experimenting with Selenium RC, I wrote code like this:
var sel = new DefaultSelenium(server, 4444, target, url);
sel.Start();
sel.Open(url);
sel.WaitForPageToLoad("30000");
var imageString = sel.CaptureScreenshotToString();
This basically works, but in most cases the screenshot is of a blank browser window, because the page is not yet ready for display. It kind of works if I add a sleep just after the WaitForPageToLoad, but that slows down the fast browsers and/or may be to short for the slower browsers (or under load).
A typical solution for this seems to be to wait for the presence of a certain element. However, this is meant as a simple generic solution to get a screenshot of a local web page with as many browsers as possible (to test the layout) and I don't want to have to enter certain element names or whatever. It's a simple tool where you just enter the Selenium Server URL and the URL you want to test, and get the screenshots back.
Any advice?
I use Selenium-RC to capture screenshots of remote pages where the waiting time is variant. In such cases, checking the title of the page and using time.sleep(n seconds) usually does it for me.
May be you can make use of Browser status bar to verify whether that page is loaded fully or not. I think this is the best solution.
