How can I add extra_capabilities for firefox to test with selenium using perl?












1















I have been able to set this parameters like download folder and prompt for download in the following manner (Or similar, as I don't have that code right know):



 'extra_capabilities' => {
'chromeOptions' => {
'prefs' => {
'download.default_directory' => '/Users/User/Desktop/my_folder',
"download.prompt_for_download" => 0,
"download.directory_upgrade" => 1,
}
},
'binaray' => '/Users/User/Applications/Chromium',


}



I've been trying to do the same with firefox but I have not been able to get those properties anywhere. The only code I've found in other questions is for java using some profile objects which I think it's not available for perl.



This is a simplified version of my attempt but it doesn't seem to work. But it does not generate an exception either:



use Selenium::Firefox;
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use Selenium::Waiter qw/wait_until/;
$Selenium::Remote::Driver::FORCE_WD3=1;

my $driver = Selenium::Firefox->new(marionette_enabled => 1,
capabilities => {
"browser.download.folderList" => 2,
"browser.helperapps.neverAsk.saveToDisk" => "tcx",
"browser.download.dir" => '/Users/User/Desktop/myFolder/'
} );
$driver->set_implicit_wait_timeout(3000);

my $url_to_download = "http://blablabla.com/blabla.tcx";
$driver->get($url_to_download);

$driver->quit();
$driver->shutdown_binary();

    The tests suggest that you can just use extra_capabilities with Selenium::Firefox as well ( grep.metacpan.org/… )

    For some reason, I was not aware of the grep metacpan site. That's a really useful resource, Thanks @Corion

Thanks to the help of @Corion I've been able to make it work. This is the code I've used to create the driver:



my $driver = Selenium::Firefox->new(marionette_enabled => 1,
extra_capabilities => {
'moz:firefoxOptions' => {
'prefs' => {
"browser.download.folderList" => 2,
"browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk" => "application/tcx+xml",
"browser.download.dir" => '/Users/User/Desktop/myFolder/'
}
}
} );


In order to get the "browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk" property just use the network inspector manually and get the content-type of the response.
