Hi 

 

I have this code then in my main function I call it like this with the URL defined above 

Test14_CreateAMatter_WithWD($IEURL)

Also have these includes  

;Web driver
#include "C:\DACBAutomationTesting\Automation\WebDriver\wd_core.au3"
#include "C:\DACBAutomationTesting\Automation\WebDriver\wd_helper.au3"

and my output just does this

Any idea? 

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\AutomationTesting\Elite3eAutomationTest\Framework\TestEnv.au3"    
>Exit code: 0    Time: 0.659

The help file entry for #RequireAdmin clearly states

Quote

As this function launch a new process, some functions as ConsoleWrite() cannot be captured (SciTE will not display anything)

Remove the #RequireAdmin if you want the console output to be captured in SciTE.

Func Test14_CreateAMatter_WithWD($IEURL)
Local $sDesiredCapabilities
_WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
sleep(5000)
$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["start-maximized", "disable-infobars","user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\USER\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data"] }}}}'
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
If $sSession <> "" Then
    MsgBox(0,"",$sSession)
    _WD_Navigate($sSession, $IEURL)

_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

Work the problem... What's the first error shown in the console output? Why might that error be occurring?

Edit: Also noticed that you are using an older version of the UDF. There have been multiple updates released since v0.1.0.21, so you would likely benefit by updating.

Change the $sDesiredCapabilities as follows and see if it works. Bear in mind that you must put "goog:" in front of "chromeOptions" and that "disable-infobars" no longer works.  My version below includes an alternative argument to disable the infobar. Regarding the user-data-dir, it used to work and I don't know why it doesn't now under the latest chromedriver. If you find why, please let us know.

Edit: I later found that user-data-dir command line is valid and working.

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": ["enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false, "args": ["start-maximized", "user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "profile-directory=Default"]}}}}'

@CYCho Have you tried the method shown in the wiki? Works for me...

[CYCho 63]

@Danp2 Yes it works now. Maybe I did something wrong. Thank you.
