WebDriver - FF gecko --log-path= and GECKODRIVER_LOG

[mLipok]

I was trying to use:

If $sLogFile Then $sDriverParams &= ' --log-path="' & $sLogFile & '"'
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', $sDriverParams)

on FireFox with geckodriver

I get the same error as:

So I start to search and found:

Set Up Environment Variables

Purpose of Environment Variables: Environment variables control Geckodriver’s behavior, including its logging functionality. By setting these variables, you can specify the level of detail in the logs and where the logs are saved.

Set Up the GECKODRIVER_LOG Environment Variable:

Windows:

• Open the Start menu and search for “Environment Variables.”
• Select “Edit the system environment variables.”
• In the System Properties window, click on “Environment Variables.”
• Under “System variables,” click “New.”
• Set the variable name as GECKODRIVER_LOG and the value as your desired log level (debug, info, warn, error).
• Click “OK” to save the changes.

 

But I decied to use :

ConsoleWrite("- " & EnvGet('GECKODRIVER_LOG') & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("- " & EnvSet('GECKODRIVER_LOG', $sLogFile) & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("- " & EnvGet('GECKODRIVER_LOG') & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("- $sLogFile = " & $sLogFile & @CRLF)

unfortunately it didn't work.

I even use:

 

 

and still didn't work.

Any suggestion how to properly set log file for geckodriver ? using AutoIt ?

So I was able to get this partialy working with using 'prefs' accordingly to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html:

_WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'firefox')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('browserName', 'firefox')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('acceptInsecureCerts', True)
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.clear_on_startup', True) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.LOG_FILE', $sLogFile) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.add_timestamp', True) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.sync', True) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.profilerstacks', True) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
    If $bHeadless Then _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', '--headless')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', '-profile')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', @LocalAppDataDir & '\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\WD_Testing_Profile')

 

and with EnvSet() accordingly to: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html

in this way:

EnvSet('MOZ_LOG_FILE', $sLogFile)

instead:

EnvSet('GECKODRIVER_LOG', $sLogFile)

 

both ways 'prefs' and 'ENV' works partialy as the file is created but is empty - 0 bytes length.

I'm stuck here and I'd like to ask for help in solving this puzzle.

[mLipok]

even using MOZ_LOG accordingly to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/WebDriver/Reference/Capabilities/firefoxOptions#example

in this way

If $sLogFile Then
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('env', "MOZ_LOG", "nsHttp:5")
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('env', "MOZ_LOG_FILE", $sLogFile)
    EndIf

was not helpfull.

You can test it with wd_demo.au3 by replacing the SetupGecko() function with this following one:

expandcollapse popup

Func SetupGecko($bHeadless)
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
    Local $iPort = _WD_GetFreePort(4444, 4500)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)

    _WD_Option('Port', $iPort)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--port=' & $iPort & ' --log-no-truncate') ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/geckodriver/Flags.html

;~  Local $sCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"browserName": "firefox", "acceptInsecureCerts":true}}}'
    _WD_CapabilitiesStartup()
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('alwaysMatch', 'firefox')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('browserName', 'firefox')
    _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('acceptInsecureCerts', True)
    ; REMARKS
    ; When using 32bit geckodriver.exe, you may need to set 'binary' option.
    ; This shouldn't be needed when using 64bit geckodriver.exe,
    ;  but at the same time setting it is not affecting the script.
    Local $sPath = _WD_GetBrowserPath("firefox")
    If Not @error Then
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('binary', $sPath)
        ConsoleWrite("wd_demo.au3: _WD_GetBrowserPath() > " & $sPath & @CRLF)
    EndIf

    Local $sLogDir = @ScriptDir & "\Log\"
    DirCreate($sLogDir)
    Local $sTimeStamp = @YEAR & '-' & @MON & '-' & @MDAY & '_' & @HOUR & @MIN & @SEC
    Local $sLogFile = $sLogDir & $sTimeStamp & '_Au3WebDriver_firefox.log'

    If $sLogFile Then
        EnvSet('GECKODRIVER_LOG', $sLogFile)
        ConsoleWrite("- GECKODRIVER_LOG: " & EnvGet('GECKODRIVER_LOG') & @CRLF)
        EnvSet('MOZ_LOG_FILE', $sLogFile)
        ConsoleWrite("- MOZ_LOG_FILE: " & EnvGet('MOZ_LOG_FILE') & @CRLF)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.clear_on_startup', True) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.LOG_FILE', $sLogFile) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html

        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('prefs', 'logging.config.profilerstacks', True) ; https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/xpcom/logging.html
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', 'service_log_path', $sLogFile)
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('env', "MOZ_LOG", "nsHttp:5")
        _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('env', "MOZ_LOG_FILE", $sLogFile)
    EndIf
    If $bHeadless Then _WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', '--headless')
    _WD_CapabilitiesDump(@ScriptLineNumber) ; dump current Capabilities setting to console - only for testing in this demo
    Local $sCapabilities = _WD_CapabilitiesGet()
    Return $sCapabilities
