When I run window.open(file, "download") with safari, it opens a blank page while download prompt and the blank page stays there. I notice firefox opens a blank tab but it's close when download starts. Is there another javascript command/function that will work so there's no blank page opened in Safari?
Why don't you use window.location = file instead?
Redirecting to the file leads to the same behavior as clicking on a link to that file: you get the download prompt, and the browser stays on the current page!
Call window.open like this (it works in all major browsers):
window.open(file, '_parent', 'download');

Working on Selenium automation testing after a click on button <ViewStatement> webpage gets updated with pdf link and some other tags but it is not updating into ChromeDriver driver object
I already tried like PageSource & hit same url into another ChromeDriver driver1 but still not working.
link - https://mfs.kfintech.com/
Code -
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//input[#value='View Statement']")).Click();
before this click the page is completely loaded into the driver but after click page doesn't reloaded but still some tags are inserted into the same page with same link before and after click so i want whole page after click.
ViewStatement does not exist on link page after login it is there.
I'm trying to upload a file using jQuery 3.3.1 in Safari 12.1.2 and it allows me to browse and select the file that needs to be uploaded. But when I try to upload the selected file. It does nothing. No error message is displayed, at least in the browser console. This is working fine in Safari versions below 12.1.2, Chrome and Firefox. Can some one please let me know a clue to at least start troubleshooting this issue. (I also tried to debug the code but it ended up in jQuery-3.3.1.min.js and terminates.)
Found the change required to fix the issue. Option "forceIframeTransport" In the code snippet that refers to the fileupload function in jdeQuery-File-Upload has been set to "true" in my code. (As per the jQuery-File-Upload doc this value is set to false by default) How ever for a unknown reason file upload fails in Safari 12.1.2 and above when this value is set to true. So simple the fix in my case is setting "forceIframeTransport" to "false" as shown in below code snippet. (please note that it's not required to have cross cite file uploads which is affected by this option in my application)
$('.assetupload').fileupload({
**forceIframeTransport : false**,
add : function(e, data) {
.......
.......
});
I read through a ton of answers to this query of mine but couldn't find anything specific. Hence asking here
Here's the scenario, On a webpage, when I click a download button, it downloads a PDF file correctly, On the browser, I have set the Firefox preferences to save the file rather than open in preview.
However, when I run my selenium/Python script, the download keeps opening in the preview, there are other PDF downloads on the page and they work fine. Upon inspecting both the download buttons, the only difference I see is the one that does not download has a relative URL in its href value.
I am also using the following firefox options settings in my script, but with no help. Please guide me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
**************************
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", 'Path to Save The file')
fp.set_preference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf")
fp.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", "true")
# disable Adobe Acrobat PDF preview plugin
fp.set_preference("plugin.scan.plid.all", "false")
fp.set_preference("plugin.scan.Acrobat", "99.0")
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp,executable_path="path to my geckodriver")
self.driver.get("url")
I had the same problem - setting to disable pdfjs only worked when clicked manually on about:config page. Turned out that what seems to have solved the issue was (Firefox 60.6.1ESR):
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true);
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", false); // <= THIS
I am making a cross-browser extension, which overrides the standard "New Tab" page.
There is a manifest.json key for that, called chrome_url_overrides:
"chrome_url_overrides": { "newtab": "index.html" }
It works in Chrome and Firefox! But in Opera (45.0) the following error occurs when I try to load the extension:
'chrome_url_overrides' is not allowed for specified extension ID.
Based on what I've read in the MDN chrome_url_overrides docs, Opera supports that.
Now I'm not sure if Opera doesn't allow that in general, or if there is a way to activate it?
Edit: I found a similar, unanswered yet, 3-months-old thread in the Opera Forums.
Actually Opera now officially does not support chrome_url_overrides. A piece of evidence can be found on the MDN page that you referenced and it was confirmed by an Opera representative in their forum.
A potential workaround for achieving a new tab extension in Opera (actually this should work in other browsers too) is to use a background script with the following code:
const redirectURLS = [
"opera://startpage/",
"browser://startpage/",
"chrome://startpage/"
];
chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener(function(tab) {
for (let i = 0; i < redirectURLS.length; i++) {
if (tab.url === redirectURLS[i]) break; // user is trying to open startpage
if (i == redirectURLS.length - 1) return; // Tab is not trying to open a startpage
}
chrome.tabs.update(tab.id, { url: "index.html" });
});
Having this will check if the user tries to open a new tab and if this is the case it will open the custom index.html page that came with installing the plugin instead. It's a hacky and dirty and not sure if it's going to be accepted by Opera but still, this may be a path of salvation for someone desperately trying to get a new tab extension live among the other Opera Addons.
Fun fact: Opera developed and distributed an addon which helps you install chrome extension from chrome extension store on Opera but the new tab extensions don't work and fail upon installation with the following message:
[Compatibility notice]
Please, be aware that this extension requires APIs that are not supported in Opera.
It still can work in Opera, so complete installation to verify.
Opera's Acceptance Criteria say that:
Extensions cannot replace Opera’s default start page.
Even if you manage to accomplish your aim and replace the standard "New Tab" page, then the extension will not pass moderation.
Workarounds include assigning a keyboard shortcut to open your page, or launching it from a browser action button.
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
