My goal is to use Selenium to configure an extension in Firefox programmatically.
What I did is the following:
Load my default Firefox profile, so that my Selenium session has access to my extensions.
Use Selenium to navigate to the extension's configuration page (moz-extensions://*********************/options/)
Use selenium to automate the configuration process and save.
My only issue is that my changes are lost. That is, upon starting Firefox again (like a "normal" user), none of the changes I made are kept.
Is there a way to ensure that Selenium saves the changes to my profile?
I want to make a python CLI for Wappalyzer (https://www.wappalyzer.com), but it is a browser plugin. The plugin identifies programs/frameworks running on a webpage, and I want to be able to use/get that information from a python script. While they do have a paid API, I was wondering if it is possible to use Selenium and the ChromeDriver to visit the page with a chrome extension, and then retrieve the data generated by Wappalyzer.
I want to be able to interface with Javascript variables like I can in chrome with Selenium using python. What should I be looking to use for this, I'm lost.
I am pretty new to the Selenium testing with Electron apps; I know how to use Python to drive Chrome via the webdriver, and how to use Selenium IDE on Firefox, but I am having trouble to find a good source of info.
So far I have an app made with Electron, and I would like to use Selenium to drive it and automate the basics. I did some research and most of the results were using node.js, which I do not know at all. I would like to use Python, so before moving on a whole different language, I would like to ask to a bigger audience, if there is something already to do Selenium testing with Python, on Electron apps
In particular, how do you assign the variable that will contain the electron app? with the browser I would say
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/chromedriver')
but this won't make sense for an electron app.
I did find a way to catch the application.
You need to download Chromedriver; and run it on a port that you like(example: 8765).
Then you can access the application written via Electron, in Python using
from selenium import webdriver
remote_app = webdriver.remote.webdriver.WebDriver(
command_executor='http://localhost:8765',
desired_capabilities = {'chromeOptions':{ 'binary': '/myapp'}},
browser_profile=None,
proxy=None,
keep_alive=False)
Then you can access the DOM elements on the app as usual. Not sure if it will work on Windows, OSX and Linux, will have to try.
Yes you can do it with driver options and capabilities.
You need to set binary path and you should add Arguments on options.
Binary path is your electron application path under project directory in '.bin'.
Argument path is your project's main directory.
For example :
Let's say, your project under home directory and named 'ElectronProject'
Binart path is '/Users/Home/ElectronProject/node_modules/.bin/electron'
Argument Path is '/Users/Home/ElectronProject'
Yes, It is possible. you can refer the documentation # https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/using-selenium-and-webdriver
After trying to find some help on the internet related to flash testing through selenium, all I find is FlexUISelenium package available for Selenium RC. I DO NOT find any such package available for Selenium Webdriver.
I am working with python and selenium webdriver and I do not see any packages available to automate flash applications. Is there any such package available at all for webdriver? If not, how do I start automating a flash application in webdriver?
Use flashselenium or sikuli for flash object testing.
