proxy support missing for IE

[adwu73]

it seems that currently selenium2lib doesn't support testing via IE proxy. I have some tests works fine without proxy in IE, however, when I configured proxy, then I got following errors:

WebDriverException: Message: '\n\n<title>404 Not Found</title>\n\n

Not Found

\n

The requested URL /hub/session was not found on this server.

\n\n

I am wondering whether any one has solutions for this already?

Thanks!

it seems that the issue lies in following code in _browsermanagement.py

def _make_browser(self, browser_name):
    browser_token = self._get_browser_token(browser_name)
    browser = None
    if browser_token == '*firefox':
        browser = webdriver.Firefox(webdriver.FirefoxProfile(FIREFOX_PROFILE_DIR))
    elif browser_token == '*googlechrome':
        browser = webdriver.Chrome()
    elif browser_token == '*iexplore':
        browser = webdriver.Ie()

There is no handling of proxy. According this wiki: http://seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.html
we should set proxy like this:

PROXY = "localhost:8080"

webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER['proxy'] = {
"httpProxy":PROXY,
"ftpProxy":PROXY,
"sslProxy":PROXY,
"noProxy":None,
"proxyType":"MANUAL",
"class":"org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
"autodetect":False
}

you have to use remote, otherwise you'll have to code it yourself in python to

dynamically changing the system proxy preferences

driver = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.INTERNETEXPLORER)

I will try to provide a fix soon

Hey Adam,

Currently there is no support in Selenium2Lib for passing in profiles when creating a browser. That is something that I have been planning to add but just haven't had the time yet. If you want to hack it you can change the _make_browser function in the browsermanagement.py class. Otherwise I hope to have a fix checked in by end of next week.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for your feedback. Since I am not quite familiar witht the difference of IE driver and Remote driver, I would like to wait for your fix instead.

Regards!

I need to use this feature so, so I will go ahead to add this feature in. Since Selenium 1 set the proxy during Start Server process, and Open Browser won't take proxy use parameters, I will add a new keyword Set Proxy to init the proxy setting, and Open Browser will use the proxy info accordingly.

Hey Adam,

I have just committed some changes to S2L that allows the open_browser keyword to open remote connections. You have to do the following.

1. Start the selenium_standalone_server.jar
2. Open browser ie remote_url=http://127.0.0.1/wd/hub desired_capabilities=httpProxy:yourproxy,ftpProxy:yourproxy

that should do it. I don't have a proxy server setup so I didn't test the proxy setup but I did test pretty extensively the ability to use the selenium removing and the desired_capabilities so let me know if it works for you.

Cheers,
Jeremy

this capability has been provided in 1.0.01

[rajsarodaya]

I had this use case where in I was supposed to pass an entire URL in desired capability.

Since there were two semicolons in the name:value pair (app:https://apk-recovery.googlecode.com/files/apiDemos.apk), it didn't worked as expected.

I have done some alteration in the _browsermanagement.py file so that the separator is altered to " ! " instead of " : ".

Please tell me what need to be done so that new _browsermanagement.pyo & _browsermanagement.pyc files can be created.

[j1z0]

To answer your question if you just want to make a change for your self just make the change and rerun pybot the change and the pyc file will automatically be regenerated.

As a more general solution I think we could probably make a small change to the _parse_capabilities_string function so it would ignore the second : . I'll try to find some time to get that implemented ASAP.

Cheers,
Jeremy
