I have a test using Webdriver and C# which downloads a file from a website.
When running this test on my local machine it works fine but when I try to run it on Selenium grid it Looks for the file I'm downloading on the hub and not on the node.
Is the anyway of accessing the node file structure to monitor when the file is downloaded.
Sorry if this is unclear.
Thanks
Aidan
It seems, there is no such possibility.. I have also tried to find such functionality, but failed.
But, one way to check it still exists - "upload downloaded". Of course it is workaround and not always you have such function as upload.
Anyway, you may:
download test data
delete test data from page
upload test data on page again
check it was really appeared
It is quite dirty way, but on other hand it allows you to test not only download function, but also upload function.

My program uses CEF(Chromium Embedded Framework) to implement a simple browser component. I want to use the File System Access API in the CEF to read and write local files but it occurs some problems. https://mburakerman.github.io/file-system-access-api-demo/ is the test page I use to experiment the File System Access API. I used Chrome at first and Chrome behaved well, it read and wrote local files normally. Then I compiled the CEF(The verstion is 96) project and used the cefclient to test whether the CEF also worked well but it could not. CEF could read the local files right but when I clicked the "Save changes" button there was no response and it failed to write the local file I choosed before either. After that I ran the source code of Chromium and CEF to compare the differences in File System Access API. When I was going to write the local file the code of Chromium and CEF ran to the same position as the picture shown below.Chromium and CEF ran to the same position when wrote local files Both of them entered in the DoRequestPermission function. It was very strange that the current_status of Chromium was "ASK" but CEF was "DENIED". The current_status value in CEFThen I checked the stack it showed that the status of the file was initialized at the message dispatch time and I could not find where the status was initialized.The stack of CEF when using File System Access API enter image description hereI wonder why the status in Chromium is "ASK". Does it use some specific command lines or some other methods?
I am using the Karate framework to do the API testing. As part of CI efforts, we send an email at the end of test execution listing the summary of test results. There is a need to include the screeshot of the test execution counts from 'overview-feature.html' file.
I did so through the TestRunner.java file - launched Chrome using Chrome.start() and then using it to take screenshot. It all works well locally on Windows.
However when executing on CI server which is a Unix box, the chrome executable is not present in the default location (usr/bin/google-chrome) and hence the connection for the localhost fails.
Is there a way we can change the default location of the chrome executable?
PS: Apologies if this was too trivial to be asked.
Yes Chrome on CI is hard to get right, refer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/62325328/143475 - note that CI boxes typically are "headless" a browser may not be even installed.
I think the best thing for you is to ZIP the HTML and send it. But I really think you need to work with some CI experts, because the report generation and e-mailing business is normally done by things like Jenkins. What you are doing is certainly not normal or best-practice.
If you really want, there is a Karate Docker container that can give you a proper Chrome instance (see docs) but that is overkill for what you need.
EDIT: The Chrome Java API allows for customization of the executable path and this is in the docs: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-core#chrome-java-api
It should be something like this:
Chrome.start("/opt/blah/chrome");
Each time I run my selenium script, which uses a Chrome Webdriver, I find that at the end of the execution, I have significantly (~50 Mb) less memory in my drive. I am not pulling/storing data anywhere, I am just instructing it to complete a series of clicks to navigate some UI, so why would this be happening? I suspect that is has to do with my webdrivers never actually quitting, but I'm not sure why that would be the case? If I close out of the chrome page being run by selenium prematurely, I'm assuming the driver closes too? And in the case where it does conclude running, I explicitly program the driver to quit.
Additionally, I can no longer open chrome through my desktop. It simply won't start.
Can someone give me some advice or enlighten me about what is actually taking place behind the scenes to cause this problem?
When execution starts chromedriver creates some temp directories in this location :
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp
these directories starts with name like "scoped_dir8952_11195" and every directory created by chrome in temp folder starts with "scoped_dir".
when driver.quit() or close() is called it should be deleted but if it is not getting deleted then you have to delete it after execution using java code or you can simply create a .bat file that deletes the directories starting with name "scoped_dir" and then can execute it using ProcessBuilder or Runtime.exec() .
You can also manually delete them if you want.
Hope that helps you.
I am using gulp with livereload, less, and others on a remote server. I have successfully used gulp before many times, and have never experienced this scenario.
I am using WinSCP to save/edit files (I double click the file, and it opens in Sublime Text ... I save it, WinSCP automatically uploads it back to the server ).
However, when doing it this way gulp-less fails almost all the time. I have two core CSS files that are compiled - one is Bootstrap and one is my own - they should both be compiled with their own gulp tasks upon modification - but Bootstrap fails every time, and the other file fails about half of the time.
When I say fails, here's what I mean - with Bootstrap I always get the same error:
variable #grid-columns is undefined in file ....grid.less line no. 48
This happens even if I define #grid-columns as the first-heading in my main Bootstrap "import" file.
The other one fails in that livereload reloads the compiled CSS at some point prior to the Less file being compiled. This should be impossible, but it happens somehow.
However, when from the SSH command prompt, I type touch myfile.less or touch anybootstrapfile.less, everything works perfectly.
Obviously this is very annoying, but its livable. I think there must be some way to fix it though. Any ideas on what in the world could make this happen and what (if anything) I could do to fix it?
Chances are that, when WinSCP uploads the file after you save it in the internal editor, it sets a timestamp of uploaded file to older than it was before.
This might be particularly true, if you are using the FTP protocol, or Windows Vista or older.
For details, refer to WinSCP FAQ:
Why are the changes, I upload to webserver, not visible in the web browser?
Alright. With the help of Martin, who I now realize is the developer of WinScp, I have solved this. I had been working with the gulp.wait plugin and inserting a pause before the final reload - and it wasn't working.
Because... that wasn't where the problem was. The problem was happening at the time of upload; in that the file was getting 'touched' to soon (or there was something with the timestamp that ended up causing the functional equivelant).
So I moved the wait process to just before the less process was called like so:
gulp.src(src)
.pipe(plumber({
errorHandler:onError
})
.pipe(wait(500))
.pipe(less())
//etc
I'm gonna experiment, 500ms is probably longer than needed..but not too long to be painful. This solved the problem instantly.
Thanks Martin!
We have a Play (1.2.4) application which is auto-tested via our Teamcity server. The regular (JUnit) tests return a Test-{classname}.xml datafile in the /test-result/ directory when using
play.bat auto-test
but the selenium tests do not. They only generate a /test-result/{testname}.test.html.failed.html or ...succes.html
This is annoying because i can not easily show which selenium test has failed from within Teamcity. I have to look at the logfiles/artifacts and see which failed.html file is present, open it and look at it which testcase has failed. Annoying!
How can i have play 1.2.4 generate a datafile/xml something which i can parse to see which selenium test has failed?
Since i could find no information what so ever and no clue's how to get it done i wrote my own parsers of the Selenium HTML testresult files. I have released it on github with sourcecode under GPL: https://github.com/crunchie84/play-seleniumresults-parser
