I am trying to use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome to fill in fields in the currently active tab in Chrome. The general goal is to automate some of the typing involved in making bank transfers so opening a new session and navigation to pages are no-go.
This is where I am at - to test a minimal level of control on the current tab:
use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy);
use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome;
Log::Log4perl->easy_init($ERROR);
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new(
launch_exe => '/usr/bin/google-chrome',
launch_arg => [ "--remote-debugging-port=9223" ],
autoclose => 0,
port => 9223,
tab => 'current',
);
$mech->get('https://www.reddit.com/r/perl');
$mech->eval_in_page('alert("Hello Chrome")');
my $png = $mech->content_as_png();
with Chrome started like this:
/usr/bin/google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9223
However what this actually does (on the browser side) is:
open a new tab
no navigation to reddit
no alert
and on the command line it outputs this:
Can't connect without knowing the port?! 0 at ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.2/lib/site_perl/5.30.2/Chrome/DevToolsProtocol.pm line 317.
If Chromium is not running, the code works well (opens Chromium, navigates to reddit, alerts).
The docs say "Setting tab to current will use the current, active tab instead - but it does not seem to work.
What is it that I'm doing wrong?
I had a quick chat with the author of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome off-band. He says you need to set the remote debugging port when you launch the Chrome instance you want to attach to. It does this automatically when it opens a new one.
--remote-debugging-port 9222
Here is some information about turning it on all the time.

After login in Chrome browser, I am getting a save password popup from the browser. I want to handle that popup and want to close that using Robot Framework
Browse popup window
Thanks
This question has been asked and answered before with a pure Python context. This answer continues on this SO post for a working Robot Example.
The popup you see is generated by Chrome itself. It's not an HTML alert. For this reason none of the Selenium2Library keywords will have any effect on it. Nor wil settings cookies or javascript.
These settings can be manually set using the chrome://settings link. Go to advanced settings and then scroll down to Passwords and Forms. Untick the second item and this will prevent the popup.
To do the same automatically in Robot Framework the WebDriver needs to be started with additional preferences:
Chrome With Preferences
${chrome_options} = Evaluate sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() sys, selenium.webdriver
${prefs} Create Dictionary credentials_enable_service=${false}
Call Method ${chrome_options} add_experimental_option prefs ${prefs}
Call Method ${chrome_options} add_argument --disable-infobars
Create WebDriver Chrome chrome_options=${chrome_options}
Go To https://secure.url.com
This key things here are credentials_enable_service=${false} where it is important to use ${false} and not false, as the latter is interpreted as a string and then added to Chrome as "false" instead of the correct value false.
The second item is that preferences are not added as arguments but through assigning a dictionary to the prefs property of the ChromeOptions() object like so: add_experimental_option prefs ${prefs}
I do not think this is real to be honest (as it's property of the browser.) Are you having issues with that? The only thing you can dismiss is javascript alert and probably the best way to handle this is:
${alert} = Get Alert Message dismiss=${dismiss}
I have this in my test teardown with Run Keyword and Ignore Error, it makes me able to fetch optional js alert content and debug (also dismisses it do the rest of the suite can be executed.)
Three Ways To do do it.
1) Many a times, Once pop-up appear on screen and Disappear a cookie is set which you can view in developer console-> application. If you set this cookie with value using Add Cookie keyword. Pop- up wont appear.
2) if first doesn't work, then open developer tools and monitor the local store from developer tools -> application and close the pop-up. U will notice some variable with a value is stored in local storage. You can set that value using your script and u wont see the pop-up while executing variable.
3) If first and second doesn't work, the pop-up is most likely linked to a javascript variable. set java script variable using Execute Javascript Keyword and your problem must be solved.
Talk with your dev team, to see which way will work for you.
I've been reading through the docs for Chrome's implementation of the Web Push API here, and I noticed the API says "you promise to show a notification whenever you receive a push" and under limitations it's stated "you have to show a notification when you receive a push message".
After implementing the example on my localhost, I used cURL to send a push notification successfully. I was curious, so I commented out the lines that actually call the showNotification function, and put in a console.log instead and found that I could, in fact, send, receive, and totally ignore a push notification. I even tried using an if-statement to control whether or not to show them based on global boolean that I controlled from my main page, and that worked. So I was wondering if anyone knew what they meant by saying you need to show a notification, and that silent push notifications weren't available?
This wasn't just for the heck of it, I legitimately may need to control whether or not to show these notifications in my web app, so it would be great if this were actually possible. Code below in case you're curious.
self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {
var title = 'New Message';
var body = 'You have received a new message!';
var icon = '/img/favicon.png';
var tag = 'well-notification';
console.log("DID RECEIVE NOTIFICATION")
if(settingsShowNotification) {
event.waitUntil(
self.registration.showNotification(title, {
body: body,
icon: icon,
tag: tag
})
);
}
});
EDIT: On Chrome 47, if it's relevant.
UPDATE: After further experimenting, I found the obvious issue that I can't update the original global variable once the user navigates away and then re-navigates to the same page. However, I was able to circumvent this using a variable on the serviceworker itself and sending a message to the service worker using the API described here to toggle the showNotifications boolean.
You do have to show a notification, and if you don't show a notification you get a forced notification from the browser saying "This site has been updated in the background". But the requirements that show the scary message have been relaxed slightly:
As of Jan. '16, it seems like up to the last 10 notifications are checked for whether each showed a notification or not. If one notification in the last ten notifications did not show a notification, that's considered an accident and the browser won't show the scary "This site has been updated in the background". You have to miss two notifications in the last ten for the scary message to appear.
Note: If the URL in the address bar of the active browser tab matches the origin of your page, and the browser is not minimized, you are not required to show a notification. This is probably why your tests succeeded, if you were on the page itself while running your tests.

I am automating a test on aws.amazon.com to check whether the resources that i created using aws cli were successfully created or not using selenium webdriver. As the site falls out of my company network, to access the site i need to provide domain user/password in modal pop up that comes before hitting the url for the site.
i am not sure , but solution to this problem is to set profile/capability in the browser settings through the code. before hitting the url.
i have achieved that in firefox as follows
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File(Constants.FIREFOX_ADDON_PATH));
profile.setPreference("extensions.enabledAddons", "FireXPath%40pierre.tholence.com:0.9.7.1,proxyauth%40lammersoft.com:0.1.2,%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D:37.0.1");
profile.setPreference("extensions.proxyauth.authtoken","c3ViaGFtdDpub3YwNDIwMTQ=");
How to do the same in chrome and ie8 ?
i went through this but not able to comprehend anything.Also what does .xpi and .crx file has to do with all of this ?
This is pop up image for chrome
This is pop up image for IE8
The popup is a Windows Http Authentication popup and cannot be handled by using Selenium Webdriver. You will have to use either Robot Class or AutoIT to handle it.
1. Using Robot Class:
Alert authenticationWindow = driver.switchTo().alert();
// Type the username/email.
authenticationWindow.sendKeys("<username/email address>");
// Shift cursor focus to password input text field.
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
// Type the password in password field. [ Selenium does not know at this point that the cursor focus is shifted, so calling Alert class instance sendKeys() will cause password to be typed in username field. So, we are copying the password first to windows clipboard and then pasting it directly into the password field using Robot class instance ]
StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection("<user password>");
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringSelection,null); robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
// Accept the authentication window.
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
2. Using AutoIT:
This link provides good information on how to use AutoIT alongwith Selenium: http://www.toolsqa.com/selenium-webdriver/autoit-selenium-webdriver/
Here is what you have to do:
Download/install AutoIT
You will be able to create .au3 scripts using AutoIT SciTe Editor
Compiling the .au3 script will give you a .exe file
Then you can invoke the .exe file from your Selenium script using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("D:\AutoIt\AutoItTest.exe");
You can get the properties of a window using the AutoIT Window Info (x86) or (x64). Example, title / status bar of a window.
AutoIT also has Au3 Recorder so that you can record your actions that are related to the remote desktop.
Below is a sample script that automates Http authentication:
WinWaitActive("Web page title","","10")
If WinExists("Web page title") Then
Send("userid{TAB}")
Send("password{Enter}")
EndIf
3. Using AutoITx4Java:
Check this library AutoITx4Java - https://code.google.com/p/autoitx4java/
Download Jacob, AutoIT (refer the above link)
Add jacob.jar and autoitx4java.jar to your library path.
Place the jacob-1.15-M4-x64.dll file in your library path.
Sample Code
File file = new File("lib", "jacob-1.15-M4-x64.dll"); //path to the jacob dll
System.setProperty(LibraryLoader.JACOB_DLL_PATH, file.getAbsolutePath());
AutoItX x = new AutoItX();
String notepad = "Untitled - Notepad";
String testString = "this is a test.";
x.run("notepad.exe");
x.winActivate(notepad);
x.winWaitActive(notepad);
x.send(testString);
Assert.assertTrue(x.winExists(notepad, testString));
x.winClose(notepad, testString);
x.winWaitActive("Notepad");
x.send("{ALT}n");
Assert.assertFalse(x.winExists(notepad, testString));
I have a form and I need to put the data of that form in collection, using coffeescript
I am currently doing these in my client coffeescript file:
#Question = new Meteor.Collection('questions')
Template.question.events
'submit #question-form' : (event) ->
QuestionData = $('#question-form').serializeJSON()
Question. insert QuestionData
I am not sure whether these data is being inserted or not. Please give me some useful ideas
Thank You in advance !!!
Tools you can use:
1) You can add a line to javascript:
debugger
your client browser will stop when it reaches that line. Sometimes you have to be in an inspect element screen already before it triggers. I do this often in Chrome and Firefox. Firefox has a debugger tab; chrome, a sources tab.
2) You can use mini-mongo in the client to check for the new record. In the console (you can get to the console as a tab as described above) type
Question.find().fetch()
You can also write
id = Question.insert QuestionData
console.log 'Question.findOne("' + id + '")
which should give an easy to copy and paste.
In a separate terminal/dos prompt fire up the mongo console using.
meteor mongo
then to list all the questions in the mongo console type
db.questions.find().pretty()
I'm focusing on offline web applications with HTML5 at the moment. I came to the point where I need a reliable method of checking the user's connection to determine whether he/she is online or offline at the moment. Since I learned that the navigator.onLine property is highly unreliable I found a very nice method using the Fallback area of the cache manifest. I implemented two similar solutions from two different books, one being "Introducing HTML5" (Lawson/Sharp) and one "HTML5: The Missing Manual" (MacDonald). I guess this is an issue of HTTP caching (I use Apache and localhost), which I don't really know too much about. I pasted my code, it's a few files, but very little code.
The adapted solution from Introducing HTML5:
http://pastebin.com/UGsmnAtK
The adapted solution from HTML5 - the missing manual:
http://pastebin.com/8v5ck3E6
Tested with Chrome 16...
=== What I want ===
start app with empty cache and running apache
click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
stop apache
click the button -> alert "Offline" is shown
start apache
click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
=== What happens ===
Introducing HTML5 solution:
- start app with empty cache and running apache
- click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
- stop apache
- click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
- start apache
- click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
HTML5: the missing manual solution:
- start app with empty cache and running apache
- click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
- stop apache
- click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
- start apache
- click the button -> alert "Online" is shown
Other scenarios and use cases fail in similar fashion. The books promise that you can check the user's connectivity any time using their methods. So I guess I'm doing something wrong here. I would thankfully embrace any ideas on this topic.
Cheers,
Felix
The problem is that the online.js is loaded when you click the button with the Introducing HTML5 or when the page is loaded with the HTML5 - the missing manual code and the site is available through Apache. Next time the scripts isn't loaded as it is already in the browser cache.
The coce from Introducing HTML5 looks like it should work if you add a random value to the script URL. Something like:
function testOnline(fn) {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'online.js?r=' + Math.random();
window.setOnline = function(online) {
document.body.removeChild(script);
fn(online);
}
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
