WebDriver questions

[caramen]

Hello all  

 

I am now abble to automate things with WebDriver i work a lot on it actualy. 

question 1 : 

Is chromedriver.exe and geckodriver.exe are safe if we put very sensitive informations in our script ?  

 

question2 :

I dont find a way to attach webdriver to my current google session. If someone can lead me to. 

 

question3:

How to start my broser (google in this case)  with webdriver and have my normal GUI my stored password cash data etc...

• _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities='{}')
  $sDesiredCapabilities='{}'

Only you can answer question 1. You know that nothing in an AutoIt script is impossible to extract will very little effort. Only you can decide if you are willing to accept the risk that entails.

The other thing to consider with #1 is how you are using the webdriver. I don't believe that anything malicious will occur as long as your are running an "official" version of the driver. However, remember that depending on your settings, some drivers could display this sensitive information in their console or log it to a file.

[caramen]

Ah yeah that was of what ii was afraid of.

Question 3 i tryed a lot of combinason with capability but i cant get a way to start with my profil

 

[1538393441.081][INFO]: [4979b573b775a916f4d0b33239b764a7] RESPONSE InitSession {

      },

keeping getting the temp profil

Question 2 I see that post : 

I read that comment :

You can connect to an existing Firefox instance like this --

_WD_Option('Driver', '<Path to your driver>\geckodriver.exe')
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace --connect-existing  --marionette-port 2828')
_WD_Option('Port', 4444)

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"desiredCapabilities":{"javascriptEnabled":true,"nativeEvents":true,"acceptInsecureCerts":true}}'
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)

To connect to an existing firefox session with this argument 

--connect-existing

Same i tryed lot of combinason but i cant figure out how it work.

 

 

[Danp2]

#3 Has already been asked / answered in the main Help & Support thread --

 

[Danp2]

I use the "--connect-existing" option every day with FF. Are you saying that you are unable to get it working with FF? Or are you still trying to find a solution for Chrome?

[caramen]

Yeah i am trying to find how to do with chrome. Sorry if i am not explicit enouth.

[Danp2]

Not sure that is possible. You should read more here and let us know if you come up with a solution.

[caramen]

Thanks @Danp2

I tryed 

;~ $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args": ["C:\\Users\\GUEMARA-Spie\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default"] }}}}'

;~ $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, ""args: ["--user-data-dir=C:/Users/' & @UserName & '/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data"] }}}}'

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data')

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--user-data-dir=C:\Users\' & @UserName & '\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data')

Everything is starting chrome but again in temp profil.

[caramen]

Seem like better but still not working.

AFAIK, it has to go into ChromeOptions, so I would think that this should work --

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args": ["--user-data-dir=C:/Users/' & @UserName & '/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data"] }}}}'

 

[caramen]

Working but i got some debug error in the WD window 

 

So complicated for so simple action.

You made it for me mate thank you...... 

 

Seem like it is copying my profil somewhere. 

And i guess it make this error ccause it cannot overwrite the file becose they are in use. I ll try to check this.

 

But.... Why it is copying my profil ??

[Danp2]

No idea. If you haven't figured out already, I don't use Chrome much.

[caramen]

@Danp2 

Totaly sorry i thougth it was solved but when i try to do anything WebDriver does not answer now. 

If i start the script it start chrome. 

I got my data and profil but i cant do any actions.

 

Trying to solve it atm but if you got a solution or know issue about that 

 

[caramen]

Well i got a semi answer. 

If i use : 

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args": ["--user-data-dir=ImportProfile"] }}}}'

It will make a folder with a new profil called ImportProfile in the script folder but without my cash & password 

If I use JUST AFTER a fresh copy of my profil in ScriptDir :

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args": ["--user-data-dir=E:/ScriptDir/MyProfil"] }}}}'

My code will work only on the first use.

 

If i start my script again i got the same error as if i start from my profil directly : 

[81876:9604:1001/160823.758:ERROR:backend_impl.cc(2065)] Invalid cache (current) size

So is it possible? or it s me? or an issue that we cannot solve ? 

Edited October 1, 2018 by caramen

[caramen]

Well i got all the answers xD

 

After a lot of test, search, debug.

 

question2 :

Possible without all fonctionality

question3:

Possible if you start Chrome first time on the current profil with WebDriverItself.

"args": ["--user-data-dir=Toto"]

Use the Profil named "Toto" If the profil does not exist or does not find by webdriver it make a new profil with that name in the script dir.

Then you can save password favorite inside this profil and work with it.

OR you can use your profil or make a copy of it before. Where you want and use it.
