While running WebDriver automation scripts I came across a situation where it is trying to open a page which contain one segment with live camera (Made with Java applet). Once script reaches to this page - a Security Warning alert (with allow and not allow) shows up and blocks the execution process. Is this something that anyone faced before - actually I am looking for an option to block this security warning to get displayed on the page.
A popup is coming where i want to click on the "Allow". How to move the focus to the new popup window and click on Allow.
Can anyone please help me for the above problem?
I was having problems accepting the java applet "Allow"
My solution was to create a firefox profile that had the settings to always activate the plugin:
FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();
fp.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates( true );
fp.setPreference( "security.enable_java", true );
fp.setPreference( "plugin.state.java", 2 );
WebDriver d = new FirefoxDriver( fp );
Where plugin.state.java:
plugin.state.java = 0 --> never activate
plugin.state.java = 1 --> ask to activate
plugin.state.java = 2 --> always activate
This might get you closer...
Selenium uses a different firefox profile because Java was inactive for me and I did not have my firebug plugin in the Firefox browser Selenium launched. I would have to open another Firefox to use Firebug.
I found my default Firefox profile by searching %appdata% in the start menu then clicking on Roaming/ Mozilla/ Firefox/ Profile/ and then it gave my default profile name.
You can also open the firefox help menu (? logo) & click troubleshoot info... click Show Profile Folder
I then configured selenium to use my default profile so Java was enabled and Firebug was available in the browser Selenium launched:
Make sure that you use "/" in selenium even though it may use "\" in the windows path location
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile('C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/41s7nq9o.default')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(fp)
driver.get('www.stackoverflow.com')
where 41s7nq9o.default is the name of your default profile

So whenever I try to use my Chrome settings (the settings I use in the default browser) by adding
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\Users\... (my webdriver path)")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="myPath", options=options)
it shows me the error code
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes n 16-17: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
in my bash. I don't know what that means and I'd be happy for any kind of help I can get. Thanks in advance!
The accepted answer is wrong. This is the official and correct way to do it:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(r"--user-data-dir=C:\path\to\chrome\user\data") #e.g. C:\Users\You\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
options.add_argument(r'--profile-directory=YourProfileDir') #e.g. Profile 3
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
To find the profile folder on Windows right-click the desktop shortcut of the Chrome profile you want to use and go to properties -> shortcut and you will find it in the "target" text box.
To get the path, follow the steps below.
In the search bar type the following and press enter
This will then show all the metadata. There find the path to the profile
As per your question and your code trials if you want to open a Chrome Browsing Session here are the following options:
To use the default Chrome Profile:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
Note: Your default chrome profile would contain a lot of bookmarks, extensions, theme, cookies etc. Selenium may fail to load it. So as per the best practices create a new chrome profile for your #Test and store/save/configure within the profile the required data.
To use the customized Chrome Profile:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 2")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
Here you will find a detailed discussion on How to open a Chrome Profile through Python
This is how I managed to use EXISTING CHROME PROFILE in php selenium webdriver.
Profile 6 is NOT my default profile. I dont know how to run default profile. It is IMPORTANT not to add -- before chrome option arguments! All other variants of options didnt work!
<?php
//...
$chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
$chromeOptions->addArguments([
'user-data-dir=C:/Users/MyUser/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data',
'profile-directory=Profile 6'
]);
$host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'; // this is the default
$capabilities = DesiredCapabilities::chrome();
$capabilities->setCapability(ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY, $chromeOptions);
$driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, $capabilities, 100000, 100000);
To get name of your chrome profile, go to chrome://settings/manageProfile, click on profile icon, click "Show profile shortcut on my desktop". After that right click on desktop profile icon and go to properties, here you will see something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 6".
Also I recommend you to close all chrome instances before running this code. Also maybe you need to TURN OFF chrome settings > advanced > system > "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed".
None of the given answers were working for me so I researched a bit and now the working code is for is this one. I copied the user dir folder from Profile Path from chrome://version/ and made another argument for the profile as shown below:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\gupta\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data')
options.add_argument('profile-directory=Profile 1')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
Are you sure you are meant to be putting in the webdriver path in the user-data-dir argument? That's usually where you put your chrome profile e.g. "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\". Also you will need to use either double backslashes or forward slashes in your directory path (both work). You can test if your path works by using the os library
e.g.
import os
os.list("C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 1")
will give you the directory listing.
I might also add that occasionally if you manage to crash chrome while running webdriver with a nominated user profile, that it seems to record the crash in the profile and the next time you open chrome, you get the Chrome prompt to restore pages after it exited abnormally. For me personally this had been a bit of headache to deal with and I no longer use a user profile with chromedriver because of it. I could not find a way around it. Other people have reported it here, but none of their solutions seemed to work for me, or were not suitable for my test cases. https://superuser.com/questions/237608/how-to-hide-chrome-warning-after-crash
If you don't nominate a user profile it seems to create a new (blank) temporary one each time it runs
Make sure you've got the path to the profile right, and that you double escape backslashes in said path.
For example, typically the default profile on windows is located at:
"C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default"
I managed to launch my chrome profile using these arguments:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data");
options.addArguments("--profile-directory=Profile 2");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
You can find out more about the web driver here
You simply have to replace the '\' to '/' in your paths and that'll resolve it.
Get profile name by navigating to chrome://version from your chrome browser (You'll see Profile Path, but you only want the profile name from it (e.g. Profile 1)
Close out all Chrome sessions using the profile you want to use. (or else you will get the following error: InvalidArgumentException)
Now make sure you have the code below (Make sure you replace UserFolder with the name of your userfolder.
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\EnterYourUserFolder\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data") #leave out the profile
options.add_argument("profile-directory=Profile 1") #enter profile here
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)
this worked for me 100% and it showed up my selected profile.
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
# path of your chrome webdriver
dir_path = os.getcwd()
user_profile_path = os.environ[ 'USERPROFILE' ]
#if "frtkpr" which is ll be your custom profile does not exist it will be created.
option.add_argument( "user-data-dir=" + user_profile_path + "/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/frtkpr" )
driver = webdriver.Chrome( dir_path + "/chromedriver.exe",chrome_options=option )
baseUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/"
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get( baseUrl )
I am trying to automate a plugin in chrome browser. It requires opening an inspect window and perform operation on inspect window. I am able to open inspect window using robot class and navigate among inspect GUI elements but cannot do HTML DOM operation in inspect window. Inspect window contains iframes but I am not able to switch to those iframes from main page. When I try to list the iframes on a active page it only shows iframes from the main page not from the inspect window. I want to switch to inspect window using iframes or any other way if there is any. The code I have written so far is
from pyrobot import Robot
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dynamic-assessment-plugin/fnapgcgphlfhecijolobjodbbnjjpdga')
browser.maximize_window()
browser.implicitly_wait(15)
browser.find_element_by_css_selector("[aria-label='Add to Chrome']").click()
time.sleep(3)
robot = Robot()
robot.addExtension() # customized Robot class to add extension
robot.newtab() # customized Robto class for new tab
browser.switch_to.window(browser.window_handles[1])
browser.get('http://www.walmart.com')
time.sleep(8)
robot.inspectElement() # Customized Robot class for inspecting (Ctrl+shift+i)
While you create chromedriver object in C# this will work,
you need to provide profile by adding arguments in chromeoptions,
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs");
browser = new ChromeDriver(DrivePath, options, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100));
You can also try to press F12 it will open inspect window
then you can use Robot class or Windows. Forms library for automation scripts manae multiple window Forms.
Your code is in python same answers are alredy provided for java and C#.

I have an app that's designed to still be functional when JavaScript is disabled, so I wanted to write some specs that covered those cases.
I'm using Selenium (Firefox) with Capybara and I'm registering an new driver with JavaScript disabled (via Selenium's javascript.enabled property)
# spec/rails_helper.rb
Capybara.configure do |config|
config.ignore_hidden_elements = true
config.default_driver = :selenium
end
Capybara.register_driver :disable_js do |app|
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile["javascript.enabled"] = false
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, profile: profile)
end
# spec/features/siging_in_spec.rb
context "JavaScript disabled", driver: :disable_js do
it "user can still sign in" do
# ...
# ...
end
end
The feature specs are failing to actually disable JavaScript. When the browser window pops up during testing and I pause it with binding.pry, I can definitely click around on items I know require JavaScript and see them working.
Side note: If I actually go to my Firefox settings and disable JavaScript, the test passes. So it appears it's inheriting whatever configuration I set in my browser, and not actually using the configuration specified when registering the driver.
Is this the correct approach here, or is there something I missed?
Thanks!
It's not possible to change the javascript.enabled setting when registering the driver because selenium freezes it at true - https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/javascript/firefox-driver/webdriver.json#L35 - This was done because of issues with trying to use selenium and firefox with JS disabled https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/635 - and is unlikely to be changed. Can you just run those specific tests with the rack_test driver? or does it not provide enough functionality?
Unfortunately, setting profile["javascript.enabled"] = false no longer works.
An alternative is to install a Firefox addon that disables JavaScript. This worked for me with Firefox 45 ESR, selenium-webdriver (2.53.4), and capybara (2.8.1):
profile.add_extension(File.expand_path('../quickjava-2.1.0-fx.xpi', __FILE__))
# Configure the extension to disable JavaScript by default.
profile['extensions.thatoneguydotnet.QuickJava.startupStatus.JavaScript'] = 2
# Disable loading the extension's first-run tab.
profile['extensions.thatoneguydotnet.QuickJava.curVersion'] = '2.1.0'
I evaluated a few different addons, including NoScript and QuickJs, but decided to find a very simple addon that could disable JavaScript by default—QuickJava did the trick. You can download the XPI file here (use Firefox, right click and Save As instead of installing directly): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickjava/versions/
You can also see all of the addon's pref settings in the source.
I am using Jmeter 2.13 alongside with a selenium webdriver plugin. When I start my thread it opens a new firefox session with all the cookies and cache cleared. In a previous session I have made a sync that lasts almost 5 minutes that brings me in my app some products. I don`t want to sync everytime I start the thread.
Is there any way I could start the new firefox session without clearing cookies/cache ?
If my guess is correct, that Selenium is the one that is opening an instance of Firefox, please see below. If not, please provide more info about what you have setup with code examples.
By default Selenium is opening the Firefox in Safe mode, where a lot of stuff are disabled (like extensions, localstore settings, etc). This also means that you won't have any cache or cookies.
You can read more about this here.
To disable this, you need to set the `toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes` setting key in in `about:config` to `-1`.
Selenium code wise, this can be achieved by setting the preference in the FirefoxProfile. C# code to achieve it would look like this:
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.SetPreference("toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes", "-1");
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
Looking into FirefoxDriverConfig.java source code the plugin creates new profile each time Firefox starts:
FirefoxProfile createProfile() {
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
String userAgentOverride = getUserAgentOverride();
String ntlmOverride = getNtlmSetting();
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(userAgentOverride)) {
profile.setPreference("general.useragent.override", userAgentOverride);
}
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(ntlmOverride)) {
profile.setPreference("network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1", true);
}
profile.setPreference("app.update.enabled", false);
addExtensions(profile);
setPreferences(profile);
return profile;
}
So there are 2 options:
Get plugin source code and amend profile initialisation line to use your existing profile as:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile("/path/to/firefox/profile");
See How do I find my profile page of Mozilla documentation for instructions on how you can locate your current profile directory.
Stop using WebDriver Sampler and switch to JSR223 Sampler instead, it supports all the languages WebDriver Sampler does and provides full control (you'll have to write all the code to configure, start and stop browser yourself)
I want to use the Eclipse plugin of js test driver to execute my tests in IE. I have IE9 installed but want the tests to run in IE8 document mode because this is what the app we are developing is running in.
So is there any way to start the js-test-driver plugin in IE8 document mode when having IE9 installed? Its possible to switch mode in MS Developer Tools but that is not what I'm looking for.
I've tried to load a script that adds meta tags at start up by adding a script like this in the jsTestDriver.conf file:
...
load:
- js/bootstrap-IE8.js
...
and the code in the bootstrap file:
(function(){
var meta = document.createElement('meta');
meta.setAttribute('http-equiv','X-UA-Compatible');
meta.setAttribute('content','IE=8');
var meta2 = document.createElement('meta');
meta2.setAttribute('Content-Type','X-UA-Compatible');
meta2.setAttribute('content','text/html; charset=utf-8');
var tophead = top.document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var toptitle = tophead.firstChild;
tophead.insertBefore(meta, toptitle);
tophead.insertBefore(meta2, toptitle);
})();
I have tried to find a way to solve this as you describe have not found any way to do this (or JSTestDriver files to modify)
However, this can be done by modifing the registry by setting FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION feature that defines the default emulation mode for Internet Explorer to 8888 (0x22B8).
It is descibed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730%28VS.85%29.aspx#browser_emulation
Note that your browser will use IE8 document mode always.
