jimboslice-sl: no, add prefs via options.set_preference()

We have about 10-ish extra ones that we used to provide with --firefox-profile

jimboslice-sl: you could always read in a file though

Yeah, that's what I'll do if there's nothing supporting that in FirefoxOptinos

jimboslice-sl: quick user survey.. how do you feel about the --firefox-* command line options being removed?

I only really use the --firefox-profile one. And I know how to solve within my own code.

I'm guessing the less CLI options the better

especially such specific ones (they can only be used with doing --driver firefox or -driver Remote if using ff)

jimboslice-sl: yeah, the command line is too restrictive, there are so many options that can be configured that I want to encourage users to do so

Agreed

great, thanks for the validation

hmm... I could use this: selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile.FirefoxProfile#_read_existing_userjs

jimboslice-sl: you could but then you're pushing an entire profile around

it's much lighter to just send prefs if that's all you want

but wouldn't I do the same thing only in the fixture? ie read and parse the file and then call .set_pref() ?

hi

davehunt: I can access it from firefox_options.profile right?

in my selenium based web application not working when i host ?

if any web based application using selenium please provide sample by nkarthikeyan@entrustsoft.in

jimboslice-sl: sorry, having four very different conversations atm :P

k

jimboslice-sl: you can read and parse a file locally, but you'll only send preferences over the wire if you use options.set_preference for each preference.. If you use options.profile the entire profile directory will be sent over the wire.

so this is bad: https://gist.github.com/BeyondEvil/4f07fe0d3584...

updated the gist with a better.py

is that a better approcah?

mmm, pie.

pie?

appricot?

I can't spell today

I'm hungre

lol

hungry

jimboslice-sl: that's psuedo-code, right?

ah, I see the comment :P

:P

firefox_options.update_preferences() is not valid

yeah, needs to be a .profile in between

firefox_options.binary can also just be a string path

jimboslice-sl: I'll add a comment :P

oh, you mean I don't have to import FirefoxBinary? That's awesome!

nice "Sets location of the browser binary, either by string or ``FirefoxBinary`` instance."

Sometimes it's good to read code :P

jimboslice-sl: https://gist.github.com/BeyondEvil/4f07fe0d3584...

voila, no profile!

but I do have to also call update_preferences() right?

or else they won't be written to disk?

jimboslice-sl: no disk involved

they're passed in a dict to geckodriver, which create a profile with them

but what about XPI?

you're installing an XPI?

this is news

we're still not using GD because there are some bugs stopping us

no, legacy firefox driver

oooh

then you have to use profile :( sorry

jimboslice-sl: i'd be interested to know which bugs are stopping you at the moment.

one major geckodriver issue has been solved (click + wait for page load)

with that, I think we'll be able to start adopting it more widely

have a good weekend all

Don't be sorry. I'll add a comment to that fixture so I know I can change it once we go full GD

you to AT!

jimevans: it has to do with ActionChains, let me find the bug#

jimevans: sigh...

jimevans: gimme a minute to find this thing

does anyone know the link to geckodriver issues?

google is just giving me SO and GH

you mean mozilla's bugzilla database?

haha

I actually found something

I'd retest before referrring to two-month old reports

I made that report

two months ago

But I'm happy to run the snippet using FF53/54 and GD 16

yes

well, i guess i won't be working on selenium for awhile

why not?

i can't build java

jimevans: ?

buck craps out saying it can't find javac

simon come back from vacation!

for a *specific* target, mind you.

heh

javac is appropriately on the path.

i really don't have the time or energy to go spelunking into the bowels of buck. so until simonstewart gets back, i'm out.

Enjoy the time off?

_when_ is simon back?

next week sometime

Ok

Hi, anyone managed to work with PROXY Authentication box with python code in Chrome ? it work for me if i manually enter username&password and i can see my IP using the proxy server but can't find solution to do it automatically using selenium.. any help will be very appreciate . thanks,

jimboslice-sl: Jimbo! :D

Lord_Drake: yo! Did you ever fix that hidden element? :relaxed:

Lol, know any other good jokes?

Heh

I've got a couple thoughts on ways to help with that, but unfortunately it'll be a while before the devs get to it.

I did get the ok to send you that screenshot of the DOM though.

Cool! Send it and I'll take a look

Can you shoot me your email? My system crashed so I lost the note for it.

DM'd it

Did you get it?

I'm on my phone still. But I'll look in an hour or so. Have to put my kid to bed and other such adult responsibilities.

how do i send a tab in selenium?

UNAME.send_keys(Keys.TAB) returns Keys not defined

you need to import Keys

i added import Keys

and that returned no module named Keys

I did

Sent it out

i figured it out

Thanks for the help. :)

Happy to help :)

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

I also replaced my basepage with your package.

sorry MrFantastik, i got distracted on my way finding the import statement :P

glad you got it figured out:)

So far is seems to work seamlessly

yea for once i rtfm
