How to share GEO-Location or load custom profile: CHROME

[Igor Radovanovic]

Hi, everyone.
It is my first time to write in this group and I hope that I would get some good feedbacks. As I could see a lot of god developers and testers are here. :)

So, I have the following problem:
- in our application, among other things, we are using geo-location (current position). But when the robot starts CHROME browser it starts as new instance of chrome with default (or incognito, I don't know) settings. So although I have set up "always share location" it will ask for sharing location.
Robot by itself, has not possibilities to handle that window, also is not possible to go with the robot in chrome://settings and set then. ( page is html, I had to try :) ) 

Only when I was close is if i try to run browser like this:

def open_custom_chrome(config, user_dir):
    chrome_option = Options()
    chrome_option._experimental_options['prefs'] = config
    chrome_option.add_argument("user-data-dir=" + user_dir)

    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:/webdriver/32/chromedriver", chrome_options=chrome_option)
    driver.get('http://www.google.com/')

In config i provide something like this intl.accept_languages=en_us  which is working, and also CHROME will start with my settings (extensions and so on) but problem is then that i can't do nothing more with browser.
Also this driver.get('google.com") is ignored. Just empty page.

HELP! :)

Are u getting any errors? Plz provide log, stack trace or any other more detailed information to analyze.

OFFTOPiC - @Igor: how you get this nice formatting for code block and inline code here?

[Igor Radovanovic]

There is no error. Just test continue with execution and then fail if some element is not found (of course is not found because URL is not right)

P.S. You have button { }  highlight code syntax (and i copy/paste from my IDE)

[Igor Radovanovic]

Ok. So I try to run this:

Open Custom Chrome

Go To                     ${inputUrl}

///file.py                                     
def open_custom_chrome():

    lang = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    lang.add_argument("--lang=en")
    chrome = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=lang)
    chrome.get('http://www.google.com/xhtml')




So, browser is opening and is going to google but Go To command can not be executed.
Actualy error is : 
FAIL
No browser is open

So, somehow something strange happens and robot can't see browser

[Tatu Aalto]

Ugh

You are almost getting it right, but you are missing few crucial parts. The main problem is that the webdriver instance only lives inside of that keyword and you must save the webdriver instance to the Selenium2Library instance (created by Robot Framework).

1) Get the S2L instance from Robot Framework [1].
2) Create the webdriver instance, like in your code.
3) Save the webdriver instance to the S2L instance. In S2L code, webdriver instance is usually referred as browser. There is not a public interface in S2L to save the webdriver instance, so you must rely on the private interface, but that has been stable for years and is safe to use. Read the Open Browser keyword code for good example how to save the webdriver instance.

If you encounter problems, don't hesitate to ask.

@Igor: Do you really need your custom library or did you make it just to start a custom Chrome instance with options?

May be it is easier to translate your custom keyword into Robot Framework syntax and then you could contiunue to write your test with default Selenium2Library keywords e.g.:

| Open URL in Google Chrome | [Arguments] | ${url}
| | [Documentation] | Starts the Google Chrome browser.
| | ${options}= | Evaluate | sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() | sys

| | Call Method | ${options} | add_argument | --lang\=ru

| | Create WebDriver | Chrome | chrome_options=${options} | executable_path=C:/webdriver/32/chromedriver
| | Go To | ${url}
| | Maximize Browser Window
| | # and so on

[Igor Radovanovic]

Hmm... tnx. 
This has sense.
Now, problem is that i can't create instance (i don't know how) of webdriver. Because with webdriver.ChromeOptions() is only way that I really could set chrome options.
Suggestion?

[Igor Radovanovic]

@Tset. I haven't seen your last post.

For me is important that i can run chrome with my config. user-data-dir is most important argument which I need. If could work in robot, perfect. But when i tried to use like this

${options}= | Evaluate | sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() | sys

this option was ignored :s

But i could try again.

[Igor Radovanovic]

So, @Tset if I try your example is working, if i try this:

${options}=          Evaluate       sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()   sys

Call Method          ${options}      add_argument        --user-data-dir\=C:/Users/.../Local/Google/Chrome/User Data

Create WebDriver     Chrome         chrome_options=${options}   executable_path=C:/webdriver/32/chromedriver
Go To                ${url}

then is not working. The browser is opened, and is opened correctly (i can see all my plugins, my user) but just open, no change URL. Url is empty.

[Tset Noitamotua]

How do you call the keyword?

e.g.

*** Test Cases***

| Simple Test

| | Open URL in Google Chrome | http://www.google.com

| | Wait until Page Contains  | xpath=//img[@title='Google']
| | # continue here with other Selenium2Library keywords

That my code is directly located into Suite Setup

[Wladislaw Wagner]

I guess we need more details to be able to help. sometimes it is a matter of a single sign which makes a code work or fail.
If possible please provide a concrete code example (modify it so it does not reveal sensible data) + provide information from Robot Framework log.html after test run. Execute tests with debug level TRACE like this:

pybot -L TRACE yourtest.robot

Aham, so behavior is: Chrome will open - so no "default" chrome with profile User1, but will browser same look and config as if I would open NEW WINDOW from my current browser. But URL is EMPTY (also no: data;  . as usually is in other cases )

That thing I don't get. How (what) is looking remote robot or remote browser?

I use everything locally. Only Url is not localhost :)

I saw "Robot Framework remote server at 127.0.0.1:8270 starting" in your terminal output above thats why I asumed that you are not using a lets say normal / default setup.

Ok. Lets go to the very beginning.
- Which Python version do you have?
- How did you installed Robot Framework?
- What does your setup looks like? Type "pip list" in your terminal an show us the output.
- What is the content of your patest.bat?

Hi Igor,

I  finally found some time to try and reproduce the error. Unfortunately I am getting the same error. So I´m afraid that it is a real bug you have found either in Chrome webdriver or in Selenium OR it is a permission issue:

May be I have a workaround which I will post a little later.

Here is the test to reproduce the error on Windows (file igor.robot):

*** Settings ***

| Library | Selenium2Library

*** Variables ***

| ${URL} | http://www.google.com

*** Test Cases ***

| Simple Test

| | Igors Keyword

*** Keywords ***

| Igors Keyword

| | [Documentation]  | Open Browser and Login

| | ${options}=      | Evaluate   | sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() | sys

| | Call Method      | ${options} | add_argument | --user-data-dir\=C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data

| | Create WebDriver | Chrome     | chrome_options=${options}

| | Go To | ${url}   |

Running above test with 'pybot -L TRACE igor.robot' leads to this error:

13:09:29.156

@Igor: concerning the error above you might ask in selenium user group[1] or open an issue on selenium github[2]

Here a little modification which works for me with Remote webdriver and selenium standalone server [3] (Note: my selenium server runs on a remote machine with it´s own chrome installed and it´s own chromedriver.exe on PATH).
WARNING: running this test twice (without closing the chrome browser after first run) leads to the same error 'Exception: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed'  thats why I asume that it might be a permission issue when working with user profile.

Tnx Tset! Tnx a lot! This is helpful! Anyway, I will see to write to selenium group.

One more small thing. I was reading about REMOTE Chrome driver, over and over and i don't get how this is working.
Is that like this:
- i run my test on my local machines
- then i connect via IP to other Maschine and will run chrome from there (with that driver) (but this remote(d) driver should be on the same Maschine where is my selenium standalone server ?)
or?

I can't get what is remote driver. (I read documentation also this article [3])

Here the promised 'How To': https://github.com/Tset-Noitamotua/_learnpython/wiki/HowTo:-Setup-Selenium-Standalone-Server-(remote)

I need to reupload the pictures, but I think it should also work without them.

[Igor Radovanovic]

Tnx. I will try now. :)

[Igor Radovanovic]

@Tset, thank you man.

I tried with selenium standalone server and is working. But was strange for me, that is only working on VM and not in my local.

Then I figured out that also is working on VM without to use "REMOTE" keyword. I can use "custom config", I mean my chrome config, without REMOTE, and is working but only if i have no chrome opened. And also maybe if in configuration is not set that "open last opened tabs" (or something like that) . When you open browser with this, should be one tab. :)

@ Igor
I am glad to hear that you got it working!
