#selenium

both edge and safari preview drivers have the spec dialect turned on as the default

Hi

ayps: hi

there are times I wish I left comment for future me

AutomatedTester: dont we all

past me is a dickhead

jimevans: would be interested if you get it working. I'd tried with the first Redstone 5 build I could when I heard about the new method for the EdgeDriver installation, but couldn't find it in the windows features list.

oh, i've gotten it working before.

be well, AutomatedTester :)

I am going for a run in the heat... I must be mad

looks like the last build I tried this on was 17666

i see beyondevil is now the maintainer of pytest-selenium

believe that's jimboslice-sl

You forgot "Your PC will restart several times."

man, if i'm england or belgium, i'm not sure i *want* to win my group.

thanks

jimevans: i thought soccer didnt exist for you guys over there :P

some of us try to be a little less provincial than others. :P

hehehe

soccer? it's over here. I mean in Russia where I am :)

?

didnt even stick around a minute, wow

hey folks!

can I get a list of http requests sent by scripts on a page to third parties during a test?

I would expect chrome driver to provide that info

possibly with Performance Log http://chromedriver.chromium.org/logging/perfor...

but i havent tried it

yeah, I was tinking about that

anyone tried it? I wonder how detailed those logs are

try it and find out :)

yes, looks like it actually can do the trick. I may not need to use a proxy

wee!

hi

a proxy with logging works well for capturing http

I don't need it if I can get it from the performance log

performance log thing should work a lot better

looks like it has the following format:

"message": { "method": "...", "params": { ... }} // DevTools message.

in the days before time (pre-webdriver), we had `captureNetworkTraffic` in selenium

woooooooooow

right in Selenium?

yup

why has it been removed though?!

it seems like something I'd enjoy using

that was pre webdriver and when Selenium was trying to do way too much

i wrote this almost a decade ago :P : https://code.google.com/archive/p/selenium-prof...

aha

I see

ah hell

I forgot about the apps

the performance trick won't work for the appium

crap

will have to get that proxy

what proxy would you recommend to work with selenium tests

oh, no... tha apps send the events in batches every two minutes

it's gonna slow down the testing insanely

cthulchu_ does it need to be during your test? you can get that sort of information by setting up your own private instance of WebPageTest and running it

I want it during the test

parsing all afterwards will change how I plan to write tests in a terrible way

do we have appium people around here?

I've never used Appium, are you able to execute Javascript? Not sure if you've tried it, but you execute JS to return navigation.performance or whatever the exact thing is as a JSON struct and parse it

the appium channel seems to be really thin

I can execute JS

and I have a few ways to get the performance data for sure

the problem is not Web, but apps

I'm guessing these are native apps?

indeed

I wish they were not :)

I wish they were just browsers pointing to a webapp

but no

I don't know why people write native apps

seems so obsolete

hell I know how to do it for web in four different ways, but three of them don't work for the apps

native apps are faster. web assembly can fix some of those issues i guess

and the next spec that allows any language in thet browser can really open things up

yes
