Re: [selenium-rc-users] Prevent iehta and chrome browsers popping up

[Khuong]

How would the syntax look for Linux?

I normally invoke "*firefox /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin" which works in bringing up firefox/chrome/custom but I cannot specify a default profile.

If I use:

"*firefox /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin -P /home/user/myprofile" I see errors and selenium-server.jar fails to launch the browser.

How would the syntax look for any system? Everybody says to use a different profile, but I've yet to see the syntax that actually does it.

I think, you have to launch firefox not using *firefox but using whole
path to binary and using the -P <profile_name> option
Hope it helps

Thanks for replying, Alex. However, if I use your suggested syntax on Linux like so:

"/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin -P default"

Not using "*something"Results in the error:

Selenium server running in debug mode.
Standard error test.
HTML suite exception seen:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Browser not supported: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin -P default
(Did you forget to add a *?)

Supported browsers include:
*chrome
*firefox
*piiexplore
*iehta
*opera
*pifirefox
*safari
*iexplore
*custom

Shutting down...

Also, when I tried using "*firefox /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin -P default" it also fails.

Looking at BrowserLauncherFactory.java, it seems like the server expects one of the above *browser values. I am not using interactive mode, but merely trying to start up Firefox with a default profile. My hopes are that if I use an existing profile, an HTTPS site certificate which has already been accepted will no longer popup a window. This would allow my scripts to continue running uninterrupted.
