Open firefox window in selenium with firefox addons loaded?
If you are using selenium remote control,
- you might need to create a separate profile for testing with your addons.
- After that you can install the addons in that new profile. Note down the path of the profile folder in profile manager or check here to locate your profile folder
Then when you start selenium, use
-firefoxProfileTemplate "path to the profile"
to specify the location of the profile with addons installed.
Just to add. When running RC from java you can use:
RemoteControlConfiguration server_preferences = new RemoteControlConfiguration(); File f = new File('/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/qa/'); // 'qa' is my profile folder nameserver_preferences.setFirefoxProfileTemplate(f); (...) myServer = new SeleniumServer(server_preferences); myServer.start();
