WebDriver + SingleFile

[mLipok]

Today I found this:

https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/discussions/1226

I tried to use this with GoogleChrome

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/singlefile/mpiodijhokgodhhofbcjdecpffjipkle

 

I found some solution here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/75376708/5314940

And I'm trying to do it this way:

function send(extensionId, msg, callback, retry = 20) {
  const timer = setTimeout(send, 100, extensionId, msg, callback, retry - 1);
  chrome.runtime.sendMessage(extensionId, msg, response => {
    if (!chrome.runtime.lastError || !retry) {
      clearTimeout(timer);
      callback(response);
    }
  });
};
send('{531906d3-e22f-4a6c-a102-8057b88a1a63}', '{ action: "save-page" }');

 

But errors occurs.
Any help with how to use it with JS ?

EIDT:
After finding a way I provide example in AutoIt

Yes, it is continuation. You asked me to be more specific in my question.
So here we are with this new topic, as for now only related to JS, but ultimately it will be used with au3WebDriver UDF.

hmm..... 

I think I understand.
This can only be used in EXTENSION code.
This cannot be used directly in JS.

Please verify my reasoning.

  So w need to stick with this solution:

Just wondering if using Au3WebDriver we can use this:

Why not?

Edit: Have you tried the method discussed here?

interesting... but still the same.

more searching and:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27207129/why-is-chrome-runtime-undefined-when-running-js-inside-a-page-from-a-content-scr

Quote

If you're inserting JavaScript into a page with a <script> tag, it executes in the page's context.

Sometimes it is desirable: that's the only way to access page-level JavaScript objects.

But in your case it means that the code does not have access to Chrome APIs, as it is "the same" as the page's code.

You need to look into communicating between page-level and content scripts, or between page-level and background (spoiler, in most cases needs a context script proxy anyway).

 

[mLipok]

So after I read this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26740141/5314940

 

my next test was:

function send(extensionId, msg, callback, retry = 20) {
  const timer = setTimeout(send, 100, extensionId, msg, callback, retry - 1);
  chrome.runtime.sendMessage(extensionId, msg, response => {
    if (!chrome.runtime.lastError || !retry) {
      clearTimeout(timer);
      callback(response);
    }
  });
};

// Content script
// Listen for the event
window.addEventListener("FromPage", function(evt) {
    console.log('test')
  send('{531906d3-e22f-4a6c-a102-8057b88a1a63}', '{ action: "save-page" }');
}, false);

// Page context
var message = {/* whatever */};
var event = new CustomEvent("FromPage", {detail: message});
window.dispatchEvent(event);

Still no success.

Ok... I was hoping that you would share a source that led you to that conclusion.

Still no success.

How are you testing (manually in the browser's dev console or via a WD script)?

manually in the browser's dev console

EDIT: via WD script will be tested in next step

My guess is that it won't work via WD if you can't make it work manually in the dev console.

for this reason firstly we need make it work manually in the dev console

And this is what I'm asking here.

simple solution (on win7):
navigate to page you want to save as mht
wait until the page visible
then send Ctrl+s

func __SaveAs_MHT()
    Send("^s")
    WinWait("[Title:Save As]")
    Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[Title:Save As]")
    ControlSend($hWnd, "", "Edit1", "This is some text")
    ControlCommand($hWnd, "", "ComboBox2", "SelectString", "Webpage, Single File")
    ;....
EndFunc

This is not the same. Your solution will not product correct MTH file - I mean not with all required content which always looks like oryginal.

I need to use SingleFile extension or SavePageWE extension.
As far as I was able to findout only SingleFile extension have API to call them from other programs.

[Danp2]

Have you tried triggering SingleFile using one of the available hotkeys?

FWIW, this appears to be the extension ID for FF, not Chrome. The correct one AFAICS is "mpiodijhokgodhhofbcjdecpffjipkle". Based upon what I found here, I would have thought that the following would trigger it.

chrome.runtime.sendMessage('mpiodijhokgodhhofbcjdecpffjipkle', "save-page")

Unfortunately, no such luck. No errors, but no saved file AFAICS.
