@Danp2 I think that the reason people are asking here for help, is because of your signature which do not contains link to WebDriver UDF Help & Support Topic

@mLipokI guess one of us must be blind, but you may want to check again to make sure your statement is correct. 😄

Hi guys! currently i want to add proxy to my specified browser however it is not working. can you show me the error in my syntax.
here is my code:   

#include "driver\wd_core.au3"
    #include "driver\wd_helper.au3"

    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Startup()
    $exe='C:\Users\Administrator\Chrome\browser\chrome.exe'
    $exe=StringReplace($exe,'\','\\')
    $profile=@ScriptDir&'\Chrome\Data\profile\'
    $profile=StringReplace($profile,'\','\\')
$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true},    "binary":"'&$exe&'"    ,"args":["--user-data-dir='&$profile&'", "--profile-directory=Default"],"proxy":{"proxyType":"manual","httpProxy":"119.98.114.154:6003","autodetect": "false"}}}'

                    $sSession=_WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
                    _WD_Navigate($sSession,'https://www.google.com.vn/?hl=vi')
                    _WD_LoadWait($sSession)


                    _WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
                    _WD_Shutdown()

Here is my code and the error report is as follows:
__WD_Post: StatusCode=400; ResponseText={"value":{"error":"invalid argument","message":"invalid argument: missing command parameters","stack...
__WD_Post ==> Invalid argument: {"value":{"error":"invalid argument","message":"invalid argument: missing command 

I lost a lot of time and don't know how to set the proxy parameter properly. hope you can fix it. Thank you

Your posted code is an absolute mess, i suggest you use Tidy and double check your $sDesiredCapabilities. Try to navigate back a few pages on this topic and you will find your answer as we've already discussed this problem.

I am trying to launch browser with specified profile and specify location of browser executable. What I'm concerned with here is that the proxy I added didn't work. I have consulted the articles in the threads but the browser runs without proxy change. proxy is completely normal when i check with extension proxy helper.

_WD_Navigate($sSession, 'https://www.google.com.vn/?hl=vi')
_WD_LoadWait($sSession)
_WD_DeleteSession($sSession)
_WD_Shutdown()

this code totally works however it doesn't change proxy when i execute

Why would you expect it to change your proxy while you didnt specify one?

I use one proxy for a profile so i need to change the proxy for that profile input. Maybe I didn't express what you mean

[minhuy]

I have found the solution. Thank you for your attention.

"--proxy-server=IP:Port"

@minhuy please try to use:

_WD_CapabilitiesAdd(.....

Hi @Danp2, i think the current implementation of __WD_CloseDriver is overkill and really awkward when running multiple chromedriver.exe instances because calling _WD_Shutdown on any instances will close the remained. Why would it has to find and close all chromedriver.exe instances while it can just simply close the instance with the PId returned by _WD_Startup?

Edited March 21, 2022 by sylremo

[Danp2]

Hi @sylremo,

Putting the following line before the call to _WD_Startup will prevent the existing drivers from being automatically closed.

_WD_Option('driverclose', False)

You can also pass the pid of a single Webdriver instance to _WD_Shutdown to limit it's actions to only that instance.

HTH, Dan

P.S. Can you share the details with us explaining why you need multiple active instances of chromedriver?

My bad, i didn't  take a closer look to the function itself, i thought $vDriver was only accept value as an executable path to the driver...

Im automating testing task on my private web application and there's a few dozen of them. Each task requires a decent amount of time to finish so i think it would be nice to run them at the same time.

[Danp2]

@sylremoHave you tried using multiple sessions with a single instance of Chromedriver?
