Can anyone please point me to decent documentation for controlling
Firefox using perl?
I am open to any solution, but I have already looked at both
Selenium::Firefox, and Selenium::Remote::Driver.
I have Selenium::Firefox working on a Centos 7 box, but I can't find any
documentation on how to use it. So far, all I have managed to do is open
a web browser window, and get a web page and extract it's contents.
I also have a working Selenium::Remote::Driver setup with a perl script
on a Centos 7 box controlling IE11 on a Win10 box.
I have spent all day going round in circles with Google finding out of
date articles, and links pointing back to each other without success. I
can't even find any doc's on using Selenium::Firefox on the cpan pages
for the module.
I have gone through dependency hell installing Selenium::Remote::Driver
on a new Centos 7 box. I then installed Java and
selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar. However, when I try to run a
script to open a local Firefox window I get the error below on the
selenium-server.
Again, most of the articles relating this problem are old, circa 2016,
and refer to version compatibility issues.
Any advice welcome.
