#selenium

i have it aliased… i type s h r u g

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's a very useful alias :)

shrug

*shrug*

how do you alias it?

g'day folks

ha

g'day jimevans

g’day jimevans!

good day jim!

Cipi: on a mac, system preferences -> keyboard -> Text (tab)

and then you have to press space after typing it

and it doesn't work in all applications… but works well for me in adium

simonstewart: for calling an uber cab after working on selenium? :P

WhereIsMySpoon: eh?

WhereIsMySpoon: pub time?

/java/client/test/org/openqa/selenium/environment/webserver:webserver:uber" WTF is this used for?

from simonstewart

Ah!

or hacking uber's webserver

That

creating an "uber" package (or jar)

It’s A thing

lukeis: does that mean it's 5x as awesome?

uber alles

oooh

I thought it was a chat alias

über packages are a single jar containing our code plus third party code

not an OS thing

i see

A :project target only includes our code

macbook pro is approaching takeoff...

jimevans: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

meh, it's to be expected. that's what happens when you launch a process that pegs every core

lukeis can probably figure out what i'm doing…

Compiling something using Buck :)

"core"

(what we call our main application internally)

lukeis: got it in one! and no, not using buck sadly.

Well, this is just lovely: https://open.spotify.com/track/4DDD2P6dJurAgk3I...

Hmmm… I’d love to add the chromedriver as a remote_file to the buck targets, but to get the URL I need to have downloaded the LATEST_RELEASE file.

simonstewart: thanks for that.

oh

one thing

on chrome I keep getting all these pipe errors

anyone else having these?

local chromedriver, not on grid

Hi

i've loved that rendition for some time...

i am trying to invoke internet explorer using selnium web driver

That whole album is great

i have tried with firefox and chrome and it worked

but in I.E it throws an error

time out error

wht error?

does the browser launch?

does it mention the proxy thing?

do you have the IE driver? :D

yeah i have downloaded IE driver

I had many issues launching IE but I solved them bu googling the error

still, does the browser launch?

yeah the browser launched

with the following message "This is the initial start page for the WebDriver server."

and then nothing?

Command duration or timeout: 3.80 seconds

what language are you using?

java

dunno then. I had that problem when I did not use the correct driver initialization

but I use ruby

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException: Unexpected error launching Internet Explorer. Browser zoom level was set to 105%. It should be set to 100% (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

set the windows zoom to 100%?

Misha: just a shot in the dark, but have you set the zoom level to 100%?

> a shot in the dark

(hint: manually launch IE, and type control+0 [control plus the zero key])

ok i ll set to 100%

it works :-)

thank you Cipi and jimevans.

fancy that, the exception message describing exactly what the issue is...

good lord

are people really so dense as to not follow instructions?

i mean it says to set the zoom level

"dur what do"

o.o

:|

WhereIsMySpoon: pub time? :)

ha

not for a while yet

another hour or so

never too early to start drinking.

lol

you belong with lukeis

:p

Hmmm… what’s the best way to determine the OS and bitness of the current OS in python?

a discrete bitness property?

im sure google will tell you that pretty quick

looks like platform module?

Something in there

yeah platform.platform()

A combination of platform.system() and platform.architecture()

^

Now to get a list of possible values. OS X == ‘Darwin’

What’s the value for Windows?

not Darwin :-P

usually i case things if Darwin else if Linux else // it's windows

Thank you, Herr Professor

What’s the value for Linux? :)

have to check...

looks like "Linux"

Am I sensing some automation being done :)

simon is rebuilding the build framework

curious is the 'Java' one

oh, if you're running in Jython
