Using Browser's Proxy Configuration In Robot Framework

[Jerico Ramirez]

Good Day!

I am running test scripts that need manual proxy configuration. When I
run the automated script, the browser uses a different profile thus it
runs under the system's proxy config. How would I be able to run my
scripts under the proxy configuration that we configured?

BTW, we use python PL for our variables etc.

Thank you

Look at the selenium keyword "Start Selenium Server" and use a custom firefox profile.

Follow up question on this, I was able to set the custom firefox
profile that selenium runs that has the proxy values in place. The
problem I am encountering is, how can I enter the proxy credentials?
Can I set the credentials also as part of the setup of the firefox
profile?

I think that the proxy authentication credentials can only be entered
when Selenium server is started. See
http://seleniumhq.org/docs/05_selenium_rc.html#proxy-configuration for
details.

If you are using Start Selenium Server -keyword, you can define the
proxy information like this:

| Start Selenium Server | -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.com |
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 | -Dhttp.proxyUser=username |
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=password |

When defining the proxy this way, there should be no need for the
custom profile.

hope this helps,

Would be interesting to know how and if this can be done with
Selenium2Library (other than a custom profile).

Currently the only way to do it is s2l is with a custom profile.
Although other people have requested the start server keyword be
implemented in s2l so I think we will try to get that done soon.

Hi,

The way I run my selenium server is upon startup. I placed it as a shortcut in the startup folder. So I dont use the Start Selenium Server keyword. Is there a way for this kind of setup for the proxy to work?

I also tried using the one that J suggested. First I stopped the selenium server from running then included the following code in my script:

Start Selenium Server  -firefoxProfileTemplate  C:\\robot_framework\\browser_profiles  -Dhttp.proxyUser=te...@test1.com  -Dhttp.proxyPassword=Password

I also tried Start Selenium Server  -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxytest.com  -Dhttp.proxyPort=8081  -Dhttp.proxyUser=s...@test.com -Dhttp.proxyPassword=Password1

I was asked for my proxy username and password in both approaches. What part of the implementation did I get wrong?

Thanks!

I also tried removing the browser template that I am using that has the pre defined proxy settings and used the following code:

Start Selenium Server   -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxytest.com  -Dhttp.proxyPort=8081   -Dhttp.proxyUser=te...@test.com  -Dhttp.proxyPassword=Password

It seems that the proxy settings did not take effect.

HI guys! did your test work? I am doing some research on this also. my test would involve requesting and getting data from the proxy.
I hope someone can give me some idea on what to do. 

Thanks!
