browser Proxy setting

[bejoy john]

We need to use system proxy to run our selenium code. Trying to evaluate Robot framework and trying to run a basic demo.

it fails to load the page because the firefox opens with no proxy. But our corp network has to use system proxy. which I used to do in java as given below.

 Proxy p = new Proxy();

            p.setProxyType(ProxyType.SYSTEM);

            fp.setProxyPreferences(p);

            fp.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(true);

            driver = new FirefoxDriver(fp);

Is there any way I can replicate the same using the keyword driven infrastructure. or some how access external library.

Thanks

Hi John,

in theory you can specify all that parameters via the desired_capabilities in the open browser keyword. 

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/DesiredCapabilities

In practice it only works for everything, like webdriver_assume_untrusted_issuer=true, except the proxy, because the proxy information is a nested object, and the parser of the Selenium2Library cannot handle that. See:

https://github.com/rtomac/robotframework-selenium2library/issues/90

https://github.com/rtomac/robotframework-selenium2library/issues/32

There is a kind of fall back solution that mostly works:.

If you are executing your tests with python, you can set the following environment variables:

http_proxy=http://<host>:<port>

HTTP_PROXY=http://<host>:<port>

If you are executing your tests with jython, you can set the following parameters:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=<host>

-Dhttp.proxyPort=<port>

Hope that helps somehow.

Queers,

Markus

Thanks for reply Markus.

I came up with a alternate solution: 
I was able to modify the network proxy setting (to 5) directly in the  pref.js. under the firefox profile. 

And it was always running in chrome. Looks like I am all set :) .. 

Thanks
