Most things end up in gen and bin

I see this line in the log:

21:55:54.990][debug][command:b1cebdfe-1b93-4740-96aa-cd366252ecbe][tid:01][com.facebook.buck.cli.Main] InvocationInfo BuildId=[b1cebdfe-1b93-4740-96aa-cd366252ecbe] Args=[run, --command-args-file, c:\Devel\selenium\buck-out\tmp\buck_run.k3bsmw\tmpwyyyzf, --verbose, 100, //java/client/test/org/openqa/selenium/environment:webserver]

and I want to look at the file tmp\buck_run.k3bsmw\tmpwyyyzf but there is no one

I'd just set a break point in buck

where exactly?

set the env variable `BUCK_DEBUG_MODE=1`

It's a normal environment property, like PATH

what does it do?

ah, I see, then I'll be able to connect the debugger remotely

Right

but it's still not obvious where to set a breakpoint...

Where's the exception happening in the logs?

There should be a stack trace

it's not a java stack trace: https://gist.github.com/barancev/3610b141fb1408...

simonstewart: watching your "State of the union" keynote from SeleniumConf Austin '17 :)

Good shit!

barancev: "build succeeded" sounds good

But the actual logs are in buck-out\logs

anigma: glad you like it :)

Thank you!

simonstewart: I can zip all the logs generated during this run if you have time to look at them, please

I don't have time

But the log of the last build is buck-0.log

there is nothing interesting there: https://gist.github.com/barancev/3b483d25014a94...

If it's `go` failing, then up the trace level for rake

`go -t`

no, I run 'buckw run --verbose 100 //java/client/test/org/openqa/selenium/environment:webserver'

I think I need a Windows machine to try this out

quick question for those of you who develop in Java.. do you normally keep your local WebDrivers in the resources directory? Or is that frowned upon?

"local webdrivers"?

You mean like chromedriver and geckodriver?

I keep them in $HOME/bin and have that on my $PATH

But I guess a neater way to do it would be a docker image, since that ties the browser and the driver executable on the same machine

In a single nifty package

simonstewart: Indeed I mean chromedriver, etc...

I agree that a Docker container would be way more neater

However, I do have a senior developer at my work place that insists on us keeping the driver binaries in source code

what are your thoughts on that?

anigma: i'm a fan of that.

(if your development process is such that it works for you)

So long as the browser is also in source control, I'm also a fan

(or you have some way to match driver version to browser version)

i like being able to build and run even when i'm on a low-bandwidth connection, and don't want to have to pull down the internet

when i build\

Totes

100% that

(which is why i like dependencies local to the build tree too)

i've turned a corner on nuget for .NET development, especially since it makes it ridiculously easy to specify a local directory as your nuget repository.

well, we don't keep the browser in source control, that's for sure

y

Keep the browser and the driver in the same kind of place

I'm pushing towards us getting Selenium Grid up and running through OpenShift

meaning i can use the nupkg files instead of the expanded, unzipped resources, and all the .NET/visual studio tooling around nuget Just Works™

Can you send general keystrokes, not to a specific element? I am trying to check a ReCaptcha checkbox that is inaccessible through driver.FindElement, however it is possible to check the checkbox if you click a field before it, then pass in TAB, SPACE.

Right now, I can only do element.SendKeys(TAB) > element.SendKeys(SPACE), and they both get sent to the element.

@joberloh use actions

ok!
