Firefox + webdriver, possible to use credential autofill?

[gsalin]

Hi, thank you for this forum!

I created a script with autoit and webdriver in order to

open firefox with the current user profile
acces a URL containing a form to log in (with credentials stored by the browser, or not)
If credentials are stored by the browser, then click on the submit button
else, I ask the password to the user, fill the corresponding field and click on the submit button

 

I have a problem in the case where the credentials are stored. I managed to use the current user firefox profile, which is configured to store credentials and to autofill logins and passwords (about:preferences#privacy > Ask to save logins and passwords for websites and Autofill logins and passwords are checked).

If i go to the url manually, login and password are auto-filled, but with my script they didn't!

Moreover, Ask to save logins and passwords for websites and Autofill logins and passwords are no longer checked!!

 

I used the following config for firefox :

Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch":{"moz:firefoxOptions":{"binary":"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "args": ["-profile", "' & GetDefaultFFProfile() & '"],"log": {"level": "trace"}}}}}'

and also tested

Local $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch":{"moz:firefoxOptions":{"binary":"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "args": ["-profile", "' & GetDefaultFFProfile() & '"],"log": {"level": "trace"},"prefs": {"profile.password_manager_enabled": "True"}}}}}'

here is part of my script which allow to reproduce :

        Next
    EndIf
    ConsoleWrite("sProfilePath =  "&$sProfilePath & @CRLF)
    Return $sProfilePath
EndFunc

 

I checked GetDefaultFFProfile() returns the right profile in the log....

Any idea to allow firefox autofill with autoit/webdriver?

I'm using firefox 116.0.3 (64 bits), $__WDVERSION = "1.1.1"

Thank you for your help!

Are you sure? When I checked on my system, it returns the wrong value. You can go to about:profiles in FF and review the available profiles, see which one is considered default, etc.

From what I can see, it seems like there may have been a change in the way a default profile is defined. Do you get the same value when using the following?

$sDefault = IniRead($sFilename, "Install308046B0AF4A39CB", 'Default', '0')
ConsoleWrite("Default =  " & $sDefault & @CRLF)

Hi and thank you for your work and interest

with your code, I get in log : 

Default =  Profiles/autoit.default-release

 

with my code, i get in scite log

sProfilesPath =  C:/Users/gsalin/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/autoit.default-release

and in geckodriver log

1692340429394   mozrunner::runner       INFO    Running command: "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe" "--marionette" "-profile" "C:/Users/gsalin/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/autoit.default-release" "-no-remote"

 

After calling my script, i did about:profiles in FF, and it seems the right profile is called : 

the about:preferences#privacy config is

 

 

If i manually open FF, about:profiles displays the same result but about:preferences#privacy is

I haven't tried this myself, but you should be able to enable those options by passing the correct values for these preferences in your Capabilities string --

• signon.rememberSignons
• signon.autofillForms

HTH, Dan

pfiouuu!!! thank you Danp2....

In fact, it seems geckodriver is setting default values to some configs (https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/pull/222/files#diff-ccfd81fdb66b11234ea8ca7021e0da03dacaea8e5cced67f6e8fd390a7d72dc1R103)

I didn't have the keys for the configs about:preferences#privacy > Ask to save logins and passwords for websites and Autofill logins and passwords.....where do you find the corresponding config keys?

moreover, i set the value to "True"...which didn't raised an error, but had no effect on the configuration..... lastly replaced "True" with true....and it worked!!!!!!

 

Thank you Danp2 for your work and help!!

Now my script works as expected!!!
