Java Chrome
Melony Kai
This used to work fine until a week or so ago, and I am not sure what has changed since then. I have just uninstalled what seems to be all the JVM stuff on my machine and reinstalled with the latest recommended Java version from java.com (1.6, update 23). The plugin works fine in IE and Firefox, but in Chrome it fails and the pages that try to use the plugin act as if Java is not installed. I have tried this in both Chrome 8 and Chrome 9 with the same result.
Just now I ran into this issue, which was caused by an MSI installer trying to update Java and fracking things up. Basically Chrome looks at registry to find a better java version than the System32 one, so it accesses this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins inhere @java.com/JavaPlugin,version=x.x.x is where the RIGHT path of the plugin is defined. Check that Path entry against the actual path and if it's not matching, that this is the issue. In a 32 bit Windows 7 it should be (or mine is) "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\plugin2\npjp2.dll".
On the OS X side, if you can't access the control panel, you can whitelist a site by adding it to the file /Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/security/exception.sites. You'll have to create the file if it doesn't exist.
I did all the above however after half an hour still cannot get it to run. I reviewed all steps, I already did correct. Eventually found that although I had closed the chrome user interface, the service still running which means chrome has not yet been restarted, so I killed that chrome process running in background, and IT WORKS!
I agree about the 32 bit Java for Chrome. Anyway, after installing Java for the gazillionth time, still not finding the plugin in chrome, I went to the control panel and clicked on Java 32bit. The Java Control Panel opened. Under the security tab I checked Enable Java Content in the Browser. Under the Advanced tab I checked the box under Java Plugin. Restart chrome and voila! :) Hope this works for you; I've been dealing with this problem for at least a month.
In a tab in Chrome type the following into the omnibar to open the Plugin list: chrome://plugins/. A list of installed plug-ins will be displayed. Find the Java plugin, then check the box "Always allowed".
This is an old question, but I was still having a problem getting it to work so I did some more research to understand what was happening. The answer from @PrashanthSams is correct, but I was incorrectly adding \Default to the end of the profile path
How to know whether it is working ?
One way to know is to run the program twice without killing previous instance of the chrome. If the profile is valid, you'll see the second instance "as a new tab" in the first browser window. If it is not working, you get the second instance "as a new browser window".
I'm writing a java program that I can use to automatically save files on server so that I don't have to login to cpanel and then make it manually, I can use php to do save the file(s) but I need to test how the site design is.But as I'm new to Java I don't have much knowledge of doing things.
I've been trying to install the Java plugin for Chrome for a couple hours now, and I figured it was time to ask people with more experience. I can't seem to get it working. My current Java version is the 64-bit OpenJDK 1.6.0_24. I tried installing the IcedTea plugin to no avail. I have Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit installed at the moment.
The Java plug-in for web browsers relies on the cross platform pluginarchitecture NPAPI, which has long been, and currently is, supportedby all major web browsers. Google announced in September 2013 plans toremove NPAPI support from Chrome by "the end of 2014", thuseffectively dropping support for Silverlight, Java, Facebook Video andother similar NPAPI based plugins. Recently, Google has revised theirplans and now state that they plan to completely remove NPAPI by late2015. As it is unclear if these dates will be further extended or not, we strongly recommend Java users consider alternatives to Chrome assoon as possible. Instead, we recommend Firefox, Internet Explorer andSafari as longer-term options.
I've been having the same problem. After digging around for a while, I found that Chrome is a 32 bit application that does not have support for 64 bit Java. (A related issue is explained by Oracle here.)
In my case, Chromium was not starting the app, no messages, just a grey box appearing where the app would be, so it was doing something, but not enough. Which sounds similar to OP. Non-browser java apps had previously been running ok on my system.
An article somewhere suggested using which javac to determine installed status. This generated no terminal output. So I tried just calling javac, and got the list of installer packages for java. So I think I had some sort of limited install, no idea what or why.
Executed sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk and then re-enabled the icedtea Chromium plugin (via Settings Advanced Settings Privacy Content settings Disable individual plugins) which I had disabled earlier while trying other things. There were no other Java plugins in the list.
Ta-dah! Java apps now working in Chrome. I can't remember how or whence I installed Java previously, but it was likely a 'least resistance' approach, so I suspect some others may also have the same system state.
Chrome does not support Java 7 on the Mac platform. A 64-bit browser (Safari or Firefox, for example) is required to run Java 7 on Mac OS X. 32-bit browsers such as Chrome do not support Java 7 on the Mac platform.
Sorry I didn't read your post fully. When you tried the steps noted in the support article, were you receiving any output errors from the terminal? Or did each command exit successfully and then it didn't work. I would also check out Troubleshooting Java on the Oracle website...a lot of good information here: _java.xml
Each command was entering without responding anything (I think it means that it is succesfully). I can't find anything useful on Java's homepage, they say that everything that is related to the previous versions of java (earlier than java 7) has been archived on oracle. I searched also there but still no solution.
I think that since you followed the Apple support steps on enabling JAVA SE 6 again, and it is still not functioning on Chrome, the problem is with Chrome's current configuration on your machine and it should be cleanly reinstalled.
With every release, Playwright updates the versions of the browsers it supports, so that the latest Playwright would support the latest browsers at any moment. It means that every time you update Playwright, you might need to re-run the install CLI command.
Playwright can run tests on Chromium, WebKit and Firefox browsers as well as branded browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It can also run on emulated tablet and mobile devices. See the registry of device parameters for a complete list of selected desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
For Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers, by default, Playwright uses open source Chromium builds. Since the Chromium project is ahead of the branded browsers, when the world is on Google Chrome N, Playwright already supports Chromium N+1 that will be released in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge a few weeks later.
While Playwright can download and use the recent Chromium build, it can operate against the branded Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers available on the machine (note that Playwright doesn't install them by default). In particular, the current Playwright version will support Stable and Beta channels of these browsers.
Certain Enterprise Browser Policies may impact Playwright's ability to launch and control Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Running in an environment with browser policies is outside of the Playwright project's scope.
Using the default Playwright configuration with the latest Chromium is a good idea most of the time. Since Playwright is ahead of Stable channels for the browsers, it gives peace of mind that the upcoming Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge releases won't break your site. You catch breakage early and have a lot of time to fix it before the official Chrome update.
Having said that, testing policies often require regression testing to be performed against the current publicly available browsers. In this case, you can opt into one of the stable channels, "chrome" or "msedge".
Another reason for testing using official binaries is to test functionality related to media codecs. Chromium does not have all the codecs that Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are bundling due to various licensing considerations and agreements. If your site relies on this kind of codecs (which is rarely the case), you will also want to use the official channel.
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge respect enterprise policies, which include limitations to the capabilities, network proxy, mandatory extensions that stand in the way of testing. So if you are part of the organization that uses such policies, it is easiest to use bundled Chromium for your local testing, you can still opt into stable channels on the bots that are typically free of such restrictions.
Playwright's WebKit version matches the recent WebKit trunk build, before it is used in Apple Safari and other WebKit-based browsers. This gives a lot of lead time to react on the potential browser update issues. Playwright doesn't work with the branded version of Safari since it relies on patches. Instead you can test against the recent WebKit build.
If the requests of the proxy get intercepted with a custom untrusted certificate authority (CA) and it yields to Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain while downloading the browsers, you must set your custom root certificates via the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS environment variable before installing the browsers:
If you are installing dependencies and need to use a proxy on Linux, make sure to run the command as a root user. Otherwise, Playwright will attempt to become a root and will not pass environment variables like HTTPS_PROXY to the linux package manager.
