native events enabled?

[Andrew]

Is there a way to start a new driver with native events enabled? 

[Mayank Jain]

What exactly is a native event btw?

One of the advantages of Selenium WebDriver over Selenium RC is supposed to be that the browser is driven with native events vs injected javascript. But whenever I start a driver, I see Native Events Enabled: false.

Does this help?

>(require '[clj-webdriver.taxi :as taxi]
               '[clj-webdriver.firefox :as ff])

> (taxi/set-driver! {:browser-name :firefox
                                                     :profile (doto (ff/new-profile)
                                                                         (ff/enable-native-events true))})
#clj_webdriver.driver.Driver{:webdriver #<Title: , URL: about:blank, Browser: firefox, Version: 17.0.1, JS Enabled: true, Native Events Enabled: true, Object: FirefoxDriver: firefox on LINUX (88e20021-e091-4f75-ad70-de55f273caee)>, :capabilities nil, :cache-spec {:cache nil}, :actions #<Actions org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions@12efc0ee>}

Hmm. What should I do differently?

(wd/new-driver

  {:browser :firefox

   :profile (doto (ff/profile-from-json (slurp firebug-profile))

                  (ff/enable-native-events true))})

#clj_webdriver.driver.Driver{:webdriver #<Title: , URL: about:blank, Browser: firefox, Version: 16.0.2, JS Enabled: true, Native Events Enabled: false, Object: FirefoxDriver: firefox on XP (eae80f90-08f2-4ab2-8098-68012abce5d9)>, :cache-spec {:cache nil}, :actions #<Actions org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions@1c63fc3>}

Where is this firebug-profile defined?

Can you check what its storing?
> (slurp firebug-profile)
What is the output of this?

The same command worked for me:

user> (taxi/new-driver {:browser-name :firefox

                                                     :profile (doto (ff/new-profile)
                                                                    (ff/enable-native-events true))})

#clj_webdriver.driver.Driver{:webdriver #<Title: , URL: about:blank, Browser: firefox, Version: 17.0.1, JS Enabled: true, Native Events Enabled: true, Object: FirefoxDriver: firefox on LINUX (ca582106-d1fd-4069-a980-d86101ca9886)>, :capabilities nil, :cache-spec {:cache nil}, :actions #<Actions org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions@a1bf24b>}

Can you try ff/new-profile like I did? Does that work for you?
Maybe that JSON command has some issue.

(count (slurp firebug-profile))

2255390 ;; purpose: includes firebug

One difference is that I'm not using the Taxi API. Here's the result with a new-profile.

(wd/new-driver 

  {:browser :firefox

   :profile (doto (ff/new-profile)

                  (ff/enable-native-events true))})

#clj_webdriver.driver.Driver{:webdriver #<Title: , URL: about:blank, Browser: firefox, Version: 16.0.2, JS Enabled: true, Native Events Enabled: false, Object: FirefoxDriver: firefox on XP (14eaac00-15ab-4569-9303-a826f18bf4a2)>, :cache-spec {:cache nil}, :actions #<Actions org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions@1364f2f>}

Are you using clj-webdriver.core as wd?
You can add any extensions as shown in the urls I shared btw.
I am not sure how well core works with these calls. Maybe Daniel can add something to this.

Hard to say specifically what might be wrong, given that Mayank is able to get the same code working. The `new-driver` definition in clj-webdriver.taxi is literally a reference to the one defined in clj-webdriver.core, so there should be no difference there.

I'd be interested to see what your FirefoxProfile instance returns for its areNativeEventsEnabled method.

[Andrew Cheng]

(def p (doto (ff/new-profile) (ff/enable-native-events true)))

==> #'foo/p

(.areNativeEventsEnabled p)

==> true

(def b (wd/new-driver {:browser :firefox :profile p}))

==> #'foo/b

b

==> #clj_webdriver.driver.Driver{:webdriver #<Title: , URL: about:blank, Browser: firefox, Version: 16.0.2, JS Enabled: true, Native Events Enabled: false, Object: FirefoxDriver: firefox on XP (8a43cf3f-9469-43bd-9a64-a78e21b283a8)>, :cache-spec {:cache nil}, :actions #<Actions org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions@cda74b>}

(.areNativeEventsEnabled p)

==> true

[Daniel Gregoire]

Alrighty. From Clojure, can you just instantiate a driver directly with (FirefoxDriver. p), using the profile as you just defined it, and verify whether or not native events are enabled that way?

Secondarily - are you having any other issues with profiles, or just this setting?
