I currently have a working python script leveraging Selenium driver for Edge browser. I need this script to run as job but due to security setting SQL Agent and Windows agent cant open the browser to scrape webpage. I would need script to run in silent mode without opening the edge browser window.
This article seems to be what I need but it is chrome.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62137334/disable-console-output-of-webdriver-using-selenium-in-python
I dont post script because the connections and data in script have connections to a private company intranet site.
Use:
var options = new EdgeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--headless");
You can also hide the driver console window:
var options = new EdgeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--headless");
options.AddArgument("--no-default-browser-check");
var chromeDriverService = EdgeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
chromeDriverService.HideCommandPromptWindow = true;
var driver = new EdgeDriver(chromeDriverService, options);

following many article one can log XHR calls in an automated browser (using selenium) as bellow:
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
capabilities["loggingPrefs"] = {"performance": "ALL"} # newer: goog:loggingPrefs driver = webdriver.Chrome(
desired_capabilities=capabilities, executable_path="./chromedriver" )
...
logs_raw = driver.get_log("performance")
my probleme is the target request is performed by a "WebWorker", so it's not listed in the performance list of the browser main thread.
getting in chrome and manualy selecting the webworkers scope in the dev console "performance.getEntries()" gets me the request i want;
my question is how can someone perform such an action in selenium ? (python preferable).
no where in the doc of python selenium or Devtool Api have i found something similar
i'm so greatful in advance.
Edit: after some deggin i found that it has something to do with execution context of javascrip, i have no clue how to switch that in selenium
I got a website which is just compatible with Internet Explorer.
We activated the Edge Internet Explorer Mode Option, but im unable to handle the website with Selenium. Is there any way to use IE-Mode with Edge in Selenium?
You need to download the recommended version of IE Driver Server from this link then refer to the code below to use Edge IE mode in Selenium in Python:
from selenium import webdriver
ieOptions = webdriver.IeOptions()
ieOptions.add_additional_option("ie.edgechromium", True)
ieOptions.add_additional_option("ie.edgepath",'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe')
driver = webdriver.Ie(executable_path='E:\webdriver\IEDriverServer.exe', options=ieOptions)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
Note: Change the paths in the code to your owns.
Result:
at the moment there is no Edge browser IE Mode option for Python
but there is an option in C#
if you are familiar with C# you can follow steps below
Download the latest version of IEDriverServer from the Selenium site.
Create a C# console project using Visual Studio.
Install Selenium.WebDriver 3.141.0 NuGet package from Nuget package manager.
Add the code below to the project and modify the paths.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var dir = "{FULL_PATH_TO_IEDRIVERSERVER}";
var driver = "IEDriverServer.exe";
if (!Directory.Exists(dir) || !File.Exists(Path.Combine(dir, driver)))
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to find {0} in {1} folder.", dir, driver);
return;
}
var ieService = InternetExplorerDriverService.CreateDefaultService(dir, driver);
var ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions{};
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgechromium", true);
ieOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("ie.edgepath", "{FULL_PATH_TO_MSEDGE.EXE}");
var webdriver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieService, ieOptions, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
webdriver.Url = "http://Your_Site_URL_here...";
}
I would like to capture network traffic by using Selenium Webdriver on Python. Therefore, I must use a proxy (like BrowserMobProxy)
When I use webdriver.Chrome:
from browsermobproxy import Server
server = Server("~/browsermob-proxy")
server.start()
proxy = server.create_proxy()
from selenium import webdriver
co = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
co.add_argument('--proxy-server={host}:{port}'.format(host='localhost', port=proxy.port))
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "~/chromedriver", chrome_options=co)
proxy.new_har
driver.get(url)
proxy.har # returns a HAR
for ent in proxy.har['log']['entries']:
print ent['request']['url']
the webpage is loaded properly and all requests are available and accessible in the HAR file.
But when I use webdriver.Firefox:
# The same as above
# ...
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, proxy = proxy.selenium_proxy())
proxy.new_har
driver.get(url)
proxy.har # returns a HAR
for ent in proxy.har['log']['entries']:
print ent['request']['url']
The webpage cannot be loaded properly and the number of requests in the HAR file is smaller than the number of requests that should be.
Do you have any idea what the problem of proxy settings in the second code? How should I fix it to use webdriver.Firefox properly for my purpose?
Just stumbled across this project https://github.com/derekargueta/selenium-profiler. Spits out all network data for a URL. Shouldn't be hard to hack and integrate into whatever tests you're running.
Original source: https://www.openhub.net/p/selenium-profiler
For me, following code component works just fine.
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_proxy(proxy.selenium_proxy())
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
I am sharing my solution, this would not write any logs to any file
but you can collect all sort of messages such as Errors,
Warnings, Logs, Info, Debug , CSS, XHR as well as Requests(traffic)
1. We are going to create Firefox profile so that we can enable option of
"Persist Logs" on Firefox (you can try it to enable on your default browser and see
if it launches with "Persist Logs" without creating firefox profile )
2. we need to modify the Firefox initialize code
where this line will do magic : options.AddArgument("--jsconsole");
so complete Selenium Firefox code would be, this will open Browser Console
everytime you execute your automation :
else if (browser.Equals(Constant.Firefox))
{
var profileManager = new FirefoxProfileManager();
FirefoxProfile profile = profileManager.GetProfile("ConsoleLogs");
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(DrivePath);
service.FirefoxBinaryPath = DrivePath;
profile.SetPreference("security.sandbox.content.level", 5);
profile.SetPreference("dom.webnotifications.enabled", false);
profile.AcceptUntrustedCertificates = true;
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.AddArgument("--jsconsole");
options.AcceptInsecureCertificates = true;
options.Profile = profile;
options.SetPreference("browser.popups.showPopupBlocker", false);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(service.FirefoxBinaryPath, options, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100));
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10);
}
3. Now you can write your logic since you have traffic/ logging window open so don't
go to next execution if test fails. That way Browser Console will keep your errors
messages and help you to troubleshoot further
Browser : Firefox v 61
How can you launch Browser Console for firefox:
1. open firefox (and give any URL )
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+J (or Cmd+Shift+J on a Mac)

I am using Selenium 2.43.0 with Python 2.7.5. At one point, the test clicks on a button which sends form information to the server. If the request is successful, the server responds with
1) A successful message
2) A PDF with the form information merged in
I don't care to test the PDF, my test is just looking for a successful message. However the PDF is part of the package response from the server that I, as the tester, cannot change.
Until recently, this was never an issue using Chromedriver, since Chrome would automatically download pdfs into its default folder.
However, a few days ago one of my test environments started popping a separate window with a "Print" screen for the pdf, which derails my tests.
I don't want or need this dialog. How do I suppress this dialog programmatically using chromedriver's options? (Something equivalent to FireFox's pdfjs.disable option in about:config).
Here is my current attempt to bypass the dialog, which does not work (by "not work" does not disable or suppress the print pdf dialog window):
dc = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
dc['loggingPrefs'] = {'browser': 'ALL'}
chrome_profile = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
profile = {"download.default_directory": "C:\\SeleniumTests\\PDF",
"download.prompt_for_download": False,
"download.directory_upgrade": True}
chrome_profile.add_experimental_option("prefs", profile)
chrome_profile.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
chrome_profile.add_argument("--disable-print-preview")
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\SeleniumTests\\chromedriver.exe",
chrome_options=chrome_profile,
service_args=["--log-path=C:\\SeleniumTests\\chromedriver.log"],
desired_capabilities=dc)
All component versions are the same in both testing environments:
Selenium 2.43.0, Python 2.7.5, Chromedriver 2.12, Chrome (browser) 38.0.02125.122
I had to dig into the source code on this one - I couldn't find any docs listing the full set of Chrome User Preferences.
The key is "plugins.plugins_disabled": ["Chrome PDF Viewer"]}
FULL CODE:
dc = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
dc['loggingPrefs'] = {'browser': 'ALL'}
chrome_profile = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
profile = {"download.default_directory": "C:\\SeleniumTests\\PDF",
"download.prompt_for_download": False,
"download.directory_upgrade": True,
"plugins.plugins_disabled": ["Chrome PDF Viewer"]}
chrome_profile.add_experimental_option("prefs", profile)
#Helpful command line switches
# http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
chrome_profile.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\SeleniumTests\\chromedriver.exe",
chrome_options=chrome_profile,
service_args=["--log-path=C:\\SeleniumTests\\chromedriver.log"],
desired_capabilities=dc)
Interestingly the blanket command chrome_profile.add_argument("--disable-plugins") switch did not solve this problem. But I prefer the more surgical approach anyways.
I am creating some end-to-end tests for a web app using Selenium.
I am working in Python and using the Firefox driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
The problem is that my web app using HTML5 geolocation, and it seems that everytime I run my tests, I have to click the 'Allow Location' popup in Firefox, making my tests less than automated.
Is there a way to force the Selenium Firefox driver to always allow geolocation without prompting?
You can force browser to return some predefined location without permission requests.
Just execute the following JavaScript code:
"navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition = function(success) { success({coords: {latitude: 50.455755, longitude: 30.511565}}); }"
Tested in Firefox and Chrome.
This question is almost 7 years old as of time of writing (Apr/20), but still relevant as APIs have changed. I've encountered a similar problem while writing a functional test with Selenium.
As an example, the scenarios that can occur in the canonical Mozilla example :
The browser does not support geolocation (!navigator.geolocation)
With geolocation supported (getCurrentPosition(success, error))
access to geolocation denied (error)
access to geolocation allowed (success)
Here is how these scenarios would translate to the Selenium setup:
from selenium import webdriver
# geolocation API not supported
geoDisabled = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
geoDisabled.set_preference("geo.enabled", False)
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=geoDisabled)
In order to go down the path of simulating a "Don't Allow" click in the prompt for geo-enabled browsers (by default enabled, check via about:config):
# geolocation supported but denied
geoBlocked = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
geoBlocked.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing", True)
geoBlocked.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing.allow", False)
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=geoBlocked)
And finally, simulating the "Allow Location Access" click
# geolocation supported, allowed and location mocked
geoAllowed = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
geoAllowed.set_preference('geo.prompt.testing', True)
geoAllowed.set_preference('geo.prompt.testing.allow', True)
geoAllowed.set_preference('geo.provider.network.url',
'data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 51.47, "lng": 0.0}, "accuracy": 100.0}')
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=geoAllowed)
The geo.wifi.uri attribute does not seem to exist anymore, but has changed to geo.provider.network.url instead. This solution also prevents "random" Firefox profiles being loaded from disk, or JS code executed at runtime to mock the location. It is largely irrelevant whether the brower configuration is set via "Options" (as it is the case with this solution), via "Profiles", or via "DesiredCapabilities". I found Options to be the simplest.
Because I reached the same problem almost 3 years after this question was asked, and None of above answers were satisfying for me. I like to show solution I use.
So the answer I found on this blog.
And use it on my python code this way:
#classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
cls.binary = FirefoxBinary(FF_BINARY_PATH)
cls.profile = FirefoxProfile()
cls.profile.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing", True)
cls.profile.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing.allow", True)
cls.profile.set_preference('geo.wifi.uri', GEOLOCATION_PATH)
cls.driver = Firefox(firefox_binary=cls.binary, firefox_profile=cls.profile)
On GEOLOCATION_PATH is my path to JSON file:
{
"status": "OK",
"accuracy": 10.0,
"location": {
"lat": 50.850780,
"lng": 4.358138,
"latitude": 50.850780,
"longitude": 4.358138,
"accuracy": 10.0
}
}
Just stumbled upon this problem today and I knew there should exist a simple and quick way of dealing with this. Here's how I solved it:
Create a new Firefox profile that will be used by Selenium. You can do it by typing about:profiles and then clicking on 'Create new profile'. A step by step instruction can be found in Mozilla's docs.
Head to the site that needs the permissions and wait for it to ask you to grant them. Grant them and check the "Remember this decision" box.
You'll need to know where your profile is stored, so that Selenium can use it. You can find the location in about:profiles. Here I created an "example_profile" and then copied the "Root directory" path:
You can then pass the path as a parameter while instantiating a Firefox browser like this:
root_directory_path = "/.../Firefox/Profiles/loeiok2p.example_profile"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=root_directory_path)
Selenium should use the profile with granted permissions and the popup should not reappear.
None of the above worked for me but this did:
got answer from: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/147166/how-can-you-fake-geolocation-in-firefox
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing", True)
profile.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing.allow", True)
profile.set_preference('geo.wifi.uri',
'data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 40.7590, "lng": -73.9845}, "accuracy": 27000.0}')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
driver.get('https://www.where-am-i.net/')
I believe the default is to launch Firefox with a new, anonymous profile. You can launch selenium with -Dwebdriver.firefox.profile=whatever, where "whatever" is the name of a profile when you launch firefox -P.
To make sure there's no weirdness with persistent logins and other cookies:
Launch Firefox with "firefox -P"
Pick the profile you'll launch the tests with
Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy, select Use custom settings for history
Tell Firefox to keep cookies until "I close Firefox"
Here is more refined answer from one of the answers above. This adds some timeout before doing geolocation success callback, as usually JavaScript is written in such a manner that geolocation coordinates are not expected to be available until there has been one cycle back to the event loop.
This allows also tracing the spoofing through Web Console.
SPOOF_LOCATION_JS = """
(function() {
console.log('Preparing geo spoofing');
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition = function(success) {
console.log("getCurrentPosition() called");
setTimeout(function() { console.log("Sending out fake coordinates"); success({coords: {latitude: 50.455755, longitude: 30.511565}}); }, 500);
};
console.log("Finished geospoofing")})();
"""
browser.evaluate_script(SPOOF_LOCATION_JS.replace("\n", " "))
I am using Firefox 74.0 with Selenium/Python 3.141.0 and the following places me in NYC
profile = FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing", True)
profile.set_preference("geo.prompt.testing.allow", True)
profile.set_preference("geo.provider.testing", True)
"geo.provider.network.url", "data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 40.7590, "lng": -73.9845}, "accuracy": 27000.0}")
Would it be enough to just allow it one time manually and then allow python do to the job?
Because you can easily allow by setting this in the website properties in Firefox:
