all other steps execute.... then seeing following exception Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.WebElement at ChromeBrowser.LaunchApplication.main(LaunchApplication.java:22)

dude-x: have I fundamentally not understood __init__ in python, it's only run when the object is initialised right?

AutomatedTester its not a constructor in the Javasense

*Java sense

right

right but if something is created there it's not recreated on every use of the object

a new instance will have a copy of self attributes

class attributes are like globals

anything in the class body is executed during import time

ok, thats what I thought...

oh, I misread the comment

in other news https://www.game.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-pok-m...

*drool*

AutomatedTester right, my comment about the retry is that we don't accidental double or triple executions of commands. so that's why i recommend removing it from init and just expose a method to set it

my worry is he has removed keep-alive things and the ability for people to think they have turned it off

that is legit too

correction: instances of classes have self.attributes only on the instance and not the class. it's not a "copy"

There are so many nice utility classes in selenium's java tree.

AutomatedTester: This might be a dumb question, but so be it, is it possible to curl the `latest` geckodriver? Or do you always have to specify a version?

jimboslice-sl: we have no latest symlink

ok

at least afaik

that reminds me, I need to address your comments on the bug

jimboslice-sl: you may better want to cache the binary locally

so you don't have to download it each time

whimboo: I'm creating a install script for my devs

pull down gecko and chromedriver and add them to the PATH

brrian_: yt?

atom compilation crashes my java with "insufficient memory" error. is JS compilation actually so difficult?

barancev: it takes a lot of memory

I've not seen that error for a long time. How many cores do you have?

8

So you have 20 buck threads?

Or 4 cores, with hyperthreading?

Which ends up with 10 buck threads

4 cores, 8 threads

Huh. You should be fine

Wonder whether it's the closure compiler or buck running out of memory?

today I saw this error first time

as soon as the build continued I suppose it's not a buck crash

I may limit the number of threads the closure compiler kicks off if you see that again

ok

[13selenium] 15burg opened pull request #6429: Safari-specific check of returned 'browserName' capability should be case-insensitive (06master...06bburg-fix-safari-lowercase-check) 02https://git.io/fA9d0

@jimboslice want some bash to download the latest?

Yes please cgoldberg-sl hook me up

Oh well. I guess this change _does_ make sense

howdy, gang.

just noticed safari 12 is out now…

Shiny!

that's got the built-in driver that uses the w3c protocol dialect as the default.

cgoldberg-sl I wonder if jq is standard on osx :thinking_face:
