Need help with getting prebuild iedriver with debugging symbols

[Qian Hong]

Hello,

I'm new to Selenium, and I'm considering using selenium to automate the testing for Wine builtin iexplore.

When I try Wine selenium + iexplore, I get a crash which has been reported as Wine Bug 30353. In order

to debug on it I need the debugging symbols of selenium,  however, as a Linux user I have no building

Environment for Win32 iedriver, I've search on the web but no result.

Is there any where I could download a prebuild iedriver with debugging symbols?

Or does anyone here could help?

Thanks in advance!

Don’t test IE in Linux.

 

It’s unsupported, it won’t tell you anything as a wine emulated version of IE does not work in the same way as a real IE and generally is completely pointless.

 

Instead create a windows VM you can run in your linux box and test IE on the windows VM

I'm going to echo what Mark says here. IE on WINE is not guaranteed to be stable. It's not a configuration that Microsoft supports, so it's not going to be a configuration that Selenium supports.

Building the IE driver native code does require an investment, because the only way to build it at present is using Visual Studio 2010 Professional or higher, but it can be done using a Windows VM. I use VirtualBox to accomplish this all the time. As the maintainer of the IE driver, I can categorically state that this will not change anytime soon. Nor will we be providing prebuilt debugging symbols, until and unless someone else wants to take over the maintenance and development of the IE driver's native code components. I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but I don't have a better one for you at the moment.
