From time to time it is useful to override default settings for Firefox in a
browser test. The way to do this is to point Firefox at a custom Profile when
the browser starts. This custom profile takes the form of a local SQLite file
that Firefox will read upon starting.
In particular, it could be useful to allow access to the browser's geolocation
information without having to manually answer the browser query.
Jeff Hall and I spiked this in early 2014 but never got it completely working.
Our spike code was in the MobileFrontend env.rb file:
if user_agent =="default" && !ENV["NEARBY_FIREFOX"]
browser = Watir::Browser.new browser_label
else
if browser_label == :firefox && !ENV["NEARBY_FIREFOX"]
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile["general.useragent.override"] = user_agent
browser = Watir::Browser.new browser_label, :profile => profile
else
if ENV["NEARBY_FIREFOX"]
permissions_file = "./features/support/permissions.sqlite"
if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/
firefox_executable =
"/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox"
elsif RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /linux/
firefox_executable = '/usr/bin/firefox'
else
puts 'Cannot identify local OS, so cannot locate Firefox executable!'
end
profile_path = ("/tmp/NearbyProfile/")
Dir.mkdir(profile_path) unless File.exists?(profile_path)
system(firefox_executable + " -CreateProfile 'NearbyProfile " +
profile_path + "'")
system("cp " + permissions_file + " " + profile_path)
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :profile => 'NearbyProfile'
else
raise "Changing user agent is currently supported only for Firefox!"
end
end
end
