Bug ID: 57333
Summary: Figure how to get WebDriver to spoof browser
geolocation preferences
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified

Priority: Unprioritized

The Mobile team (specifically Jon Robson) would like to add a browser test that
can spoof a specific geolocation that we know will returns result on the
"Nearby" page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby)
An initial patch for such a test is in Gerrit:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/92018/
At least for Firefox, the necessary "about:permissions" site-specific setting
can be saved in a custom profile, and it is possible for WebDriver to load an
existing profile on demand via simple steps like this:
require 'watir-webdriver'
driver = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => 'Test for WMF mobile'
driver.goto('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby')
This works fine, but to make the test usable in multiple environments, profiles
need to be portable. Unfortunately, the site-specific setting of interest
(Boolean "geo") is stored in a SQLite database (permissions.sqlite), which does
not seem to make that profile setting very portable.
We need to find a way to make this setting portable, so that a browser test for
the "Nearby" page can successfully set geolocation settings AND run in any
environment, including Vagrant VMs and Jenkins (CloudBees).
