everytime i test my selenium test, the instant of firefox will popup and show page of selenium rc. It's ok and cool. But i have problem. For every test i also have to see a firefox's page pop up and shown selenium plugin have been add to firefox.
is there any way to configure selenium so it initiate firefox without a popup page cause after a hundred test, it start to irritate me ;D
I'm sure this is a duplicate of another SO question, as I feel like I've answered it before, but I can't find it. If I do subsequently find it then I will update my answer.
You need to set the extensions.lastAppVersion preference to match the version of Firefox that you're launching. Otherwise you will generally have an additional tab in Firefox and the Addons manager popup.
You may need to configure Selenium to use a custom Firefox profile in order to make this change.
Removing the extensions.rdf file from profile directory will fix this issue . I have created a separate profile for Selenium tests, which is only used for Selenium Tests. I would love to hear if there is other way around . My "extensions.lastAppVersion" is updated and reflects the current browser version therefore the above trick does not work for me .
Remember, invoking selenium by user will re-create extensions.rdf file, therefore I prefer to keep separate profile for Selenium
Having found this answer and had a go, I found that merging the Extensions.rdf and extensions.ini file from the temporary profile created in a Selenium session and putting that into your Custom Profile directory solves this problem.
When merging extensions.ini, be careful to avoid getting the pathnames wrong.
Use this -
From the address bar type “about:config” and add/update the following:
- extensions.update.notifyUser (type=boolean; value=false)
- extensions.newAddons (type=boolean; value=false)
It worked for me.

I have started multiple Django projects with like four different tutorials. Every single time I try "python manage.py createsuperuser", the admin login page just loads and loads and never goes anywhere. I want to make it absolutely clear that I haven't touched a thing in the code and everything is default code. I migrated everything before login. I've tried deleting the database and re-migrating. None of that works. Can someone help me? I have made around 10-15 accounts and NONE of them work. The page just keeps loading indefinitely and never goes anywhere. I've looked at EVERY stackoverflow post and no answers work. I started a virtualenv, downloaded Django, didn't touch the code, made migrations, I followed every tutorial TOO THE LETTER(!!!) and this is what I keep getting. The current tutorial hasn't changed in default code and he signed in with no problems. I'm assuming if he did, I can...I don't think putting code in is necessary since it's all virgin code, never touched. I didn't even make any apps yet.
I've tried deleting database and re-migrating
changing the password of current superuser
deleting the entire project and following everything the instructor said (TO THE LETTER!!!)
I have made 10-15 superuser accounts and none work
This sounds similar to a problem I was seeing. I wrote a question for it here (no answers yet): Django local dev server hangs with chrome after form submission. Works in firefox
Are you using windows and the chrome browser? Try using firefox to access the admin page and login. That worked for me. I'm still trying to figure out why Chome doesn't work, though. Like you, I created a brand new project from scratch; sometimes Chrome works and most of the time it doesn't. I've also found that hitting the stop button while the browser is sitting there thinking, then refresh, makes the logged in admin page show up.
I'm working on Selenium test which simulates every User action on my website. From registration to modifying forms etc.
There are hundreds of actions so I would like to see what is currently going on. Is there a way to add some notes to Selenium so I can see them in the browser real time? For example some transparent overlay with text?
I think it is possible to create a workaround using AJAX but maybe there is something built in.
I'm trying to use microsoft coded ui tests with firefox. This was NOT an issue until Firefox 35.0.1 came out.
Skip to the bottom if you want to know the issue more than the why am I doing it this way:
Why I'm not using Selenium:
With Selenium, when Firefox launches a web driver, it loses it's previous states/cookie settings. I could of course import a cookie. The problem is that if I have multiple users running the test, they'd either have to set up individual lines of code to import their own specific cookie from their own path. This could become a dangerous game if a user decides to use someone elses cookie.
Why I'm using Coded UI Tests:
Certain applications I am running work exclusively with IE and others work exclusively with Firefox. Since I can't record the instances in IE with selenium, I have to should utilize a coded ui test anyway. I could of course also use watin. But at some point, why run Selenium, and watin when I can instead JUST use a coded ui test. Additionally, when going to the url for login with a coded ui test, FF is setup to save my password and cookie. therefore, the user can save their own password/cookie on each machine and just change the input for username which comes via excel spreadsheet. Everyone gets their own test, and no security issues.
The issue:
Since Coded UI tests don't recognize Firefox as a browser, it recognizes Firefox as a windows application. Therefore, edits and buttons in firefox are considered WinEdit and WinButton for firefox while internet explorer uses HtmlEdit and HtmlButton.
When Firefox put out an update, the coded ui test stopped recognizing certain objects in the firefox window. When trying to manually highlight objects/words with the test builder, it puts the blue box at the head of the web page instead of over what I'm clicking selecting. When hardcoding things to select, it doesn't recognize them. Is anyone aware of a workaround for this issue?
Recording on Firefox/Chrome is not supported by Coded UI. You can record your test in IE and Play it across Firefox/Chrome using Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing which can be found here https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/11cfc881-f8c9-4f96-b303-a2780156628d
I have a few related selects that work perfectly on a testing server with very loose security (basically just a simple default install of CF 10).
I have tried to implement the CF 10 lockdown guide on the production server and all seems well, except that related select don't work. That is, the first select in the chain doesn't populate and therefore, none of the related selects populate either.
I even recreated Ben Forta's art media example: perfect on the testing server, no triggering in production.
All other CFC functions seem to work: SELECT and INSERT queries are just fine. Only CFSELECTs with bindings are hosed. I pretty sure that the problem is a server configuration. The same pages worked just fine on our old CF 9 box. Any ideas would be helpful.
My advice to you would be to NOT use cfselect or any other UI stuff in ColdFsuion - It only causes more headaches than it gets rid of.
That being said, if you followed the lockdown guide, you should have limited access to the CFIDE directory - which is needed for any of the ColdFusion UI stuff. There is an option in CF Admin to use a 'custom' path for the scripts ColdFusion uses - it is on the main Settings page. Set this value and create a virtual directory in IIS with the same name pointing to the {cfroot}CFIDE/scripts directory.
Recently I have create some UI tests for a qooxdoo application with the built-in simulator ( I am using qooxdoo 3.0.1, selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0 and firefox23)
and I need to store a cookie in the browser and save that for the next time that it open.
code that stores the cookie:
if(!this.getQxSelenium().isCookiePresent(debugVariable))
this.getQxSelenium().createCookie("debugVariable=0","path=/, max_age=350000, domain=subdomain.foo.com");
console.log(this.getQxSelenium().getCookieByName("debugVariable"));
I have find that there is an argument in the server the -profilesLocation that specifies the directory that holds the Firefox profiles that java clients can use to start up the Firefox
I even try to use -browserSessionReuse but it does not working either for me.
I see this is not enough what other solution I could try to make the Firefox to remember the cookies?
This is not a qooxdoo-specific issue. I tried it with a plain HTML+JS page and Selenium's -firefoxProfileTemplate option and it didn't keep the cookie either.
You could try using an older version of Selenium (and perhaps also Firefox). -firefoxProfileTemplate is specific to Selenium RC, which is deprecated and gets more broken with every new release.
