WebDriver UDF (W3C compliant version) - 2024/09/21

sarge · April 17, 2020

Hello,
I need to organize a cycle with the launch of several browsers with different profiles. And if in auto-out it looks like this:
Run ('"C: \Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "--no-remote" -profile "C:\FFProfiles\Bot1" https://test .com/auth/login')

Then through the web driver, I do not know how to do this:
SetupGecko ()
_WD_Startup ()
; $ sSession = _WD_CreateSession ($ sDesiredCapabilities)
; _WD_Navigate ($ sSession, "https://test.com/auth/login/")

Where can I put the profile option to launch several different browsers in a loop?

try to run the profiles from profie folder, like create a link to desktop in the settings from the link you can set fix the prifile user and then repeat it with all the profiles you got, add all the profiles to one folder eg in your script folder from there you can run all profiles in a loop im on sth similar, maybe we are on the same project XD

@sarge There are details in the wiki on how to use an existing user profile with the Webdriver UDF. To make your way work, you need to add the "-marionette" flag and then see this post on how to attach to an existing instance of Firefox.

Haven't tried doing this where multiple profiles are involved, so YMMV.

попробуйте запустить профили из папки profie, например, создать ссылку на рабочий стол в настройках по ссылке, которую вы можете установить, исправить пользователя prifile, а затем повторить его со всеми полученными вами профилями, добавить все профили в одну папку, например, в своем скрипте. оттуда вы можете запускать все профили в цикле im на чем-то похожем, возможно мы находимся в одном проекте XD

Do not understand how to do this?
Give an example please..

Thank you for your answer, but as I understand it, this option "-marionette", only connects to one running browser instance. And if I run them 5, or 50?
How do I specify each of them?

Danp2 · April 17, 2020

No, the "-marionette" option can be used to start Firefox with Marionette enabled. This can also be controlled at the profile level.

As I stated before, I haven't had the need to play with multiple profiles, so you may encounter some unforeseen issues. You'll probably need multiple Geckodriver sessions, so you may need to run multiple scripts, one for each profile in use. That way, each one can utilize a unique set of values for the ports in use by each session.

Danp2, thank you for your help.

At this moment I have a program:

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession, $sElement
Local $sLogin = 'mylogin'
Local $sPassword = 'mypassword'
SetupGecko()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://test.com/auth/login/")

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[@id='id_username']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'value', $sLogin)

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[@id='id_password']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'value', $sPassword)
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//input[@class='button']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')
_WD_LoadWait($sSession)

Func SetupGecko()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace')
_WD_Option('Port', 4444)
; $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"desiredCapabilities":{"javascriptEnabled":true,"nativeEvents":true,"acceptInsecureCerts":true}}'
$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch": {"moz:firefoxOptions": {"args": ["-profile", "C:/4studio/FFProfiles/Bot1"],"log": {"level": "trace"}}}}}'
EndFunc

If I uncomment the line :

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch": {"moz:firefoxOptions"...

Then I see that the program starts with the desired profile, but is not executed further. That is, the browser does not even follow the link.

In the debug console I see this:

1587329103638   geckodriver     DEBUG   Listening on 127.0.0.1:4444
1587329104121   webdriver::server       DEBUG   -> POST /session {"capabilities"

iles/Bot1"],"log": {"level": "trace"}}}}}

1587329164964   webdriver::server       DEBUG   <- 500 Internal Server Error {"v
alue":{"error":"timeout","message":"connection refused","stacktrace":""}}

If I uncomment the line:

; $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"desiredCapabilities":{"javascriptEnabled":true ...

That authorization passes, but the browser starts with the default profile.
Please tell me, is it possible to make the program work with the right profile?

Danp2 · April 19, 2020

@sarge From your debug log, it appears to be wanting to connect on port 52513. Check the marionette.port setting for the profile in question and make sure it matches. If not, then you may need to provide the correct port number to geckodriver.exe.

From a command prompt, issue the command "geckodriver --help" to see the available options, which you would need to add to your existing '_WD_Option('DriverParams' line.

Purity8 · April 20, 2020

I've followed instructions to enable "marionette" in about:config

Would I also need to toggle:

marionette.contentListner
marionette.debugging.clicktostart

to 'True' as well?

Danp2 · April 20, 2020

@Purity8 This isn't the support thread, so I suggest that you move this discussion back over there or start a new thread for your specific issues.

Purity8 · April 20, 2020

Sorry, I haven't been able to locate how to move topics. It's okay, I solved it.

My apologies again.

Hello,
Unfortunately this does not work.
firefox uses the port 2828 for the marionette by default.
And I read the "geckodriver --help" put an additional option:

_WD_Option('marionette-port', 2828)

Without result, an arbitrary port is selected in the console:

geckodriver::marionette DEBUG   Waiting 60s to connect to browse
r on 127.0.0.1:49315

It can be fixed?

_WD_Option('marionette-port', 2828)

That would return an error, since 'marionette-port' isn't a recognized option. Instead, you would want to do something like this --

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--marionette-port 2828')

This value will then be passed as a parameter to the designated webdriver when you call _WD_Startup.

sarge · April 25, 2020

Danp2, thank you for your help!

Everything worked, the browser starts, and navigate.
But I just can’t run multiple browsers in a loop.
That is, I can’t insert a variable in the gecko driver options:

For $i = 1 to 5 Step 1
                $p = 2828 + $i
                $b = 'C:/4studio/FFProfiles/Bot'&$i
                _WD_Option('Driver', 'geckodriver.exe')
                _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log trace')
                _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--marionette-port $p')
                $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch": {"moz:firefoxOptions": {"args": ["-profile", $b"],"log": {"level": "trace"}}}}}'
                _WD_Startup()
                $sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
                _WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://2ip.ru")
              Next

Parameter Values in rows: '--marionette-port $p' and ["-profile", $b"] are not converted to values 😞

Maybe I'm writing them wrong?

And one more question.
Is it possible to program random browser behavior?
That is, clicks on a random place in the window?

Yep... here's the correct way --

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--marionette-port ' & $p)

I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. Perhaps you could explain your scenario where this is needed?

sarge · April 25, 2020

Thank you, option:

_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--marionette-port ' & $p)

- worked!

But:

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch": {"moz:firefoxOptions": {"args": ["-profile", & $b],"log": {"level": "trace"}}}}}'

Not worked 😞

Regarding the random behavior of the bot, I need the bot to randomly switch to another window on the page when the planned presence in the window we need is over. Imitating a person who is on a site with a *snip (let's not discuss that here)* for example. Enabling this behavior of the browser (bot) must be done either through the scheduler or by command.
I wish the bot could even donate randomly, but this is probably impossible ...

You need to terminate your strings properly (missing single quotes in multiple locations). It will work once you make the needed corrections.

No comment on the bot stuff. 🙄

sarge · April 25, 2020

Unfortunately, it does not work 😞

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch": {"moz:firefoxOptions": {"args": ["-profile", "& $b"],"log": {"level": "trace"}}}}}'

I tried different options, but failed.. Parameter $b are not converted to values 😞

Regarding the behavior of the bot, I apologize for the incorrect question.

Danp2 · April 25, 2020

@sarge I suggest that you read up on how to properly concatenate strings / variables. You may want to try writing the value of $sDesiredCapabilities to the console as a way to check your coding. :thumbsup:
