Relocate firefox-instances that are opened by a background task (selenium/webdriver)

[fwo...@googlemail.com]

Hi, placing a new firefox window on a certain workspace works fine as long as I open them manually. However, when they are spawned by my selenium test suite - it doesn't. Is this supported at all?
Thanks in advance, Frank

How do you identify that it is a Firefox window? It might be that it
uses another title on the window when it is spawned from selenium, and
your match doesn't work because of this.

xlsclients shows no difference in the "Name" - regardless whether I start it manually or via selenium:

➜ xlsclients -l | grep -C4 -i firefox

Window 0x2e00001:

  Machine:  development.vagrant

  Name:  Firefox

  Icon Name:  firefox

  Command:  firefox

  Instance/Class:  firefox/Firefox

the script would be:

if (get_application_name()=="Firefox") then

  set_window_workspace(4);

end
