NAME

Selenium::Firefox::Profile - Use custom profiles with Selenium::Remote::Driver

VERSION

version 1.49

DESCRIPTION

You can use this module to create a custom Firefox Profile for your Selenium tests. Currently, you can set browser preferences and add extensions to the profile before passing it in the constructor for a new Selenium::Remote::Driver or Selenium::Firefox.

SYNPOSIS

    use Selenium::Remote::Driver;
    use Selenium::Firefox::Profile;
    my $profile = Selenium::Firefox::Profile->new;
    $profile->set_preference(
        'browser.startup.homepage' => 'http://www.google.com',
        'browser.cache.disk.capacity' => 358400
    );
    $profile->set_boolean_preference(
        'browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser' => 0
    );
    $profile->add_extension('t/www/redisplay.xpi');
    my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new(
        'firefox_profile' => $profile
    );
    $driver->get('http://www.google.com');
    print $driver->get_title();

CONSTRUCTOR

new (%args)

profile_dir - <string> directory to look for the firefox profile. Defaults to a Tempdir.

METHODS

set_preference

Set string and integer preferences on the profile object. You can set multiple preferences at once. If you need to set a boolean preference, either use JSON::true/JSON::false, or see set_boolean_preference().

    $profile->set_preference("quoted.integer.pref" => '"20140314220517"');
    # user_pref("quoted.integer.pref", "20140314220517");
    $profile->set_preference("plain.integer.pref" => 9005);
    # user_pref("plain.integer.pref", 9005);
    $profile->set_preference("string.pref" => "sample string value");
    # user_pref("string.pref", "sample string value");

set_boolean_preference

Set preferences that require boolean values of 'true' or 'false'. You can set multiple preferences at once. For string or integer preferences, use set_preference().

    $profile->set_boolean_preference("false.pref" => 0);
    # user_pref("false.pref", false);
    $profile->set_boolean_preference("true.pref" => 1);
    # user_pref("true.pref", true);

get_preference

Retrieve the computed value of a preference. Strings will be double quoted and boolean values will be single quoted as "true" or "false" accordingly.

    $profile->set_boolean_preference("true.pref" => 1);
    print $profile->get_preference("true.pref") # true
    $profile->set_preference("string.pref" => "an extra set of quotes");
    print $profile->get_preference("string.pref") # "an extra set of quotes"

add_extension

Add an existing ".xpi" to the profile by providing its path. This only works with packaged ".xpi" files, not plain/un-packed extension directories.

    $profile->add_extension('t/www/redisplay.xpi');

add_webdriver

Primarily for internal use, we set the appropriate firefox preferences for a new geckodriver session.

add_webdriver_xpi

Primarily for internal use. This adds the fxgoogle .xpi that is used for webdriver communication in FF47 and older. For FF48 and newer, the old method using an extension to orchestrate the webdriver communication with the Firefox browser has been obsoleted by the introduction of "geckodriver".

add_marionette

Primarily for internal use, configure Marionette to the current Firefox profile.
