How often are you going to ask the same question?

Please do not crosspost and stick to a single post, posted at the correct place! (meaning not in the developers forum!)

Thanks,
Jos

@lenclstr746 Using this UDF, the following command will retrieve the current URL from the connected browser session --

_WD_Action($sSession, 'url')

You can check it out for yourself by running the DemoNavigation routine in wd_demo.au3

@lenclstr746 Please remember that we all volunteer our time in these forums. We are here to provide assistance, but you need to make a reasonable effort on your part. Help us to help you by providing more details because my crystal ball is currently in the shop and I don't know how to fix "doesn't work" without more info.

@lenclstr746. First, you'd need to compile it. Choose 32bit or 64bit, then 'Compile Script'. That'll make an exe version of your scrip (in this case, wd_demo.exe). Now you can run it and click to toggle which "Demo" you like see.

I'm not sure which editor you're using. With SciTe editor, you would Ctrl+F7 to compile.

Once you've successfully compiled it the first time, you can now use Build (F7) to continue as you make changes to wd_demo.au3

------------------------------------------------------------

Now back to my own topic...

If  'ScriptDir' is used, where exactly is this location? I don't have a 'Script' folder in user profile.
Nevermind, I found out. However, I don't see anything like a default folder (Downloads) nor PicturesDir. Is it possible to create dir's?

Found 'ScriptsDir' Location, editted for more info

That's incorrect. You can run the script directly in Scite by pressing the F5 Key.

As far as creating a directory, you could alway try DirCreate. 😃

[Purity8]

Perfect, thanks!

Well, Gecko seems to be making new profiles...perhaps that's why I had problems. The first time running a new profile in "Debug: None" mode will cause both console & browser to do nothing & display "Demo Complete", delete session & exit console.

[Purity8]

Would this work?

DirCreate(@DesktopDir, "/Pictures")

Or would I actually have to use the full path?

That's how Webdriver works, unless you give it directions to use an existing profile. See the FAQ section in the Wiki.

Nope... because that isn't valid syntax. Did you click the hyperlink I posted earlier or look at the help file?

[Purity8]

Yeah, I did but I thought something like would work. I didn't want to use the full path...and it made sense in a way 😂.

In Desktop dir, create Pictures.

Ah well, was worth a try.

I know I gotta use $sFilePath.

[Danp2]

You can't pass two parameters when then specs only call for one, but you can combine the two strings into a single parameter, like this --

DirCreate(@DesktopDir & "/Pictures")

 

[HJL]

Perfect, thanks a lot. You are working around the clock!

Can I also use the same 

'rect', '{"x":30,"y":30,"width":100,"height":100}')

in $sDesiredCapabilities?

[Danp2]

Not sure on that one. You'll need to research that one on your own. 😉

Well, I did try that. Nothing happened when I ran the script...

Oddly, I removed Func & EndFunc, and it worked.

 

edit:

With your reference, I managed to solve downloading files to Downloads folder. Thanks 😎

I'm not sure if this an issue with the UDF or with something else, but I noticed (after an hour of debugging) that a copy of the driver in the local directory can cause the UDF to fail.

I store my scripts at work on a network drive and wanted a copy of the driver stored in a central location to be able to copy... so my setup looks like this:

C:\Users\seadoggie\Documents\chromedriver.exe <-- a temporary file, will adjust to AppData later. Referenced in script

U:\Documents\AutoIt Files\Reports\myScript.au3
U:\Documents\AutoIt Files\Reports\chromedriver.exe <-- the driver to copy to user's computer

When there is a copy in the script's directory, _WD_CreateSession fails with Error 9 10 - $_WD_ERROR_Exception. Without a copy in the script's directory, everything works as expected. Maybe someone else can test this? It's strangely specific and it seems like I'm missing something important

Updated to latest UDF version

How do you reference the driver in your script? Did you have a look at the wiki -> FAQ #6?

 

[seadoggie01]

Yes, I have this in my script:

_WD_Option('Driver', @UserProfileDir & "\Documents\chromedriver.exe")

I moved the network copy to a sub-directory named Drivers and everything works now. If at any point I copy the driver back to the parent directory, _WD_CreateSession fails.

Edit: Reproducable code

Spoiler

 

#include <wd_core.au3>

Main()

Func Main()

    _WD_Option('Driver', @UserProfileDir & "\Documents\chromedriver.exe")
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path=' & @UserProfileDir & '\Documents\chrome.log')
    Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["--profile-directory=Default"]}}}}'

    _WD_Startup()
    If @error Then Exit ConsoleWrite("_WD_Startup")

    Local $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
    If @error Then Exit ConsoleWrite("_WD_CreateSession Error: " & @error)

    _WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
    _WD_Shutdown()

EndFunc
