I'm noob. I tryed to use _WD_Capabilities*() functions but do not work, but when i use $sCapabilities for SetupChrome that works 😅

This coding style/approach is becoming obsolete.... a little.

Hello,

I'm very beginner on the usage of Webdriver
On my office, i need to control my browser. I've maked a script with auto-click, it's work but can fail/have bug... Webdriver will help me a lot, because it's possible to control the browser.

I've tried the basic code to open a page, move to another URL and wait the end of loading, get the code source, and move to another page.
I was on Firefox 91 ESR and the basic script worked.

But now my company have make an update, and now we're on Firefox 102 ESR and now it's not working.
I must stay on my browser deployed by my company (so can't return on Firefox 91, or install chrome...)

The geckodriver send a "NS_BINDING_ABORTED".

I've not seeing in forums this bugs, so anyone got this and know how to resolve it ?

I've updated Webdriver UDF from old version and WinHTTP but it change nothing.

The geckodriver open Firefox, enter URL but at the millisecond on loading. Firefox is killed by gecko and send the error.

The geckodriver is the lastest version (v0.33). I've tried the 0.32.2 and 0.30 but nothing work.

 

The code in autoit used :

Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox"}}}'

   _WD_Option('Driver', $g_sDriver)
   _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace')
   _WD_Option('Port', 4444)

   _WD_Startup()
   If @error <> $_WD_ERROR_Success Then Exit -1

   Local $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
   If @error <> $_WD_ERROR_Success Then Exit

   Local $g_sUrl = 'http://intranet:8091/6'
   Local  $sURL = "http://intranet:8091/6/nodes"
   _WD_Navigate($sSession, $g_sUrl)
   _WD_LoadWait($sSession,5000,15000)
   $sourceCode = _WD_GetSource($sSession)

   Sleep(2000)
   _WD_Navigate($sSession, $sURL)
   Sleep(2000)

   _WD_Shutdown($g_sDriver)

 

The error in Autoit console :

_WD_Option ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Option=Driver   Value=./dependances/geckodriver.exe
_WD_Option ==> Success [0] : Parameters:   Option=DriverParams   Value=--log trace

On stackoverflow, i've seen an awnser, for change the System.setProperty, but it's in java and Selenium...
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Selenium\\geckodriver.exe");

I will continue to search, but if anyone have an idea, it will be nice.

Hi Dan, All,

What seems like a simple F2 key capture to display the underlying html code is not quite working out.  Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but it seems to be not getting the element under the mouse.

Any Ideas?

@NassauSky A few things I can see --

• You should check for an empty result from _WD_GetElementFromPoint.
• You need to adjust for window position or change setting of MouseCoordMode.
• You will likely get better results using _WD_GetMouseElement.

[Danp2]

@Falbak It's difficult to know how to guide you because you haven't posted a runnable script that reproduces the problem. You may want to try this modified capabilities string to see if it makes any difference ---

Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'

Also, you should review this issue to see if it applies to your situation.

[NassauSky]

Thanks @Danp2

Got it. So strange I tried using  _WD_GetMouseElement previously and I'm not sure what I did wrong but yes it definitely helped to have the empty and error checking for that function.

Thanks again!

[ThomasBennett]

Good evening, everyone, 

I've been doing some research on _WD_Attach. 

Scenario: Writing a script that will go through multiple webpages to click various links to confirm that "404 Not Found" does not appear. The links when clicked on open in a new tab. The script is reading from an Excel spreadsheet and will also record the URL back to the spreadsheet. The URL being recorded is from the original session using "_WD_Action($sSession, 'url')". I don't necessarily know what the title of the new tab will be, but once I've attached to the new tab would I be able to use "_WD_Action($sSession, 'url') to get the new tab's URL or is there an easier method that I haven't figured out yet?

Thank you, 




Thomas

Edit
Found the solution: 

Also, yes, once successfully attached the correctly URL is taken. 

    _WD_Attach($sSession, ".pdf", "URL")

This is what did it for me.. I need to figure out a way to have it check for .pdf or .htm if it doesn't find one or the other.. but that is for another time I want to try to figure it out first. Thank you.

Hay @Danp2, I have been following your thread for a long time, and most of my AutoIt scripts also use your WD UDF.

I am truly grateful for your hard work in always updating and maintaining this UDF.

However, there is something that requires me to switch to a Mac OS environment.

Do you have any suggestions for which script I should use that can execute several functions from this WD UDF on Mac OS?

Can it be done with Selenium, or is there something else?

Thank you in advance.

[Danp2]

@cobaek I haven't worked on a Mac in ages, so I can't offer you any advice on this topic.

[bogQ]

@cobaek selenium with python/java/golang can do the job. aldo due to simplicity of use i whud suggest python as sintax is more similar to autoit than java or golang, and as python have good specific overflow of examples/documentation for selenium or seleniumwire.

Thanks for your awnser @mLipok and @Danp2.

For the function "_WD_UpdateDriver('firefox')"
It does not help me. I've already the lastest version and just got :
_WD_UpdateDriver ==> Success [0 / 0] : DriverCurrent = 0.33.0 : DriverLatest = 0.33.0

I've tried without good result :
 

Local $sDesiredCapabilities = Default
or
Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'

 

 

But today, i've resolved my problem.

In Regedit and in a firefox.cfg, i have a homepage forced.
The homepage is our intranet, but when it's open at start (classic or marionette mode), the web page redirect on a security file to determine who is connecting in our company for allow or deny the access.

On Firefox 91 ESR = No problem
On Firefox 102 ESR, maybe some changes with this version = Problem

Without the homepage at start (in firefox.cfg in the Firefox Program Files + regedit : HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-xxxxx\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\Homepage)
My script run normaly now.

 

I think (a supposition), Firefox call a website URL but don't understand why URL don't respond (cuz got redirected by the security file).
So he don't get a good HTTP POST code from the homepage, so he just close.

Hello,

I have a question. I have to migrate some script using IE to Firefox, so i'm using webdriver with geckodriver.

Is there a way i can attach to a specific firefox windows ? (sorry for my english)

thx guys

Today I hit new problem.

And found solution here:

How to prevent Firefox to auto-check “remember decision” in certificates choice?
 

_WD_CapabilitiesAdd("prefs", "security.remember_cert_checkbox_default_setting", False)

 

[Ecniv]

Hi All,

I'm here for the same thing as most of us are I'm afraid...

I would like to improve my scripts by making them less IE (EOL) dependent, so I decided to start using the webdriver UDF, unfortunately it made it obviously clear that my skillset is not where I would like it to be😝

I followed the instructions here and added all .au3 files required to my library @ C:\Program files\Scite\include.

However when I run the demo, using the Edge driver the following happens:

1. command line opens (fine)
2. Edge opens (great)
3. An error message opens (Ohoh)
4. As soon I confirm it everything crashes. (****)

The error message reads as follows (Translated through Dutch so bare with me please);

Quote

The datafolder could not be created

Microsoft Edge is unable to read or write to the appropriate folder: C:\Windsows\SystemTemp\Scoped_dir30248_637488779

Followed with a dialog box which states "Check log"

I tried updating the HTTP .au3 files however that did not work (at all)
I replaced the original JSON.au3 with the modified one in this post

However no joy to be found here...

I hope that there is someone out there who could be kind enough to assist me and get me on the right track.

If there is any missing information please let me know and I'll get it sorted as soon as possible.

Many thanks in advance!😁

Microsoft Edge is unable to read or write to the appropriate folder: C:\Windsows\SystemTemp\Scoped_dir30248_637488779

Check your environmental settings that control the location of temporary files (%temp% and %tmp%), and update them to reflect a location that doesn't require Admin privileges.

Edit: Suggest that you review this prior thread.
