How can a fake media stream and media device be passed to firefox via command line/selenium
John Sylvester
Hi,
I am developing a java/selenium based application and need to fake microphone/cam and pass media i.e. audio and/or video files to the browser.
I have been able to successfully do this in Chrome using the below code snippet:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--allow-file-access-from-files",
"--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream",
"--allow-file-access",
"--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture=D:\\PATH\\TO\\WAV\\xxx.wav",
"--use-fake-device-for-media-stream");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
Are there similar options available in Firefox to achieve the same capability?
If not, how can this be done using java? Any help will be helpful.
I tried this and preferences do get set, but I still get an error saying "Media device unavailable"
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
ProfilesIni profilesIni = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = profilesIni.getProfile("John");
profile.setPreference("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", true);
profile.setPreference("media.navigator.enabled", true);
profile.setPreference("media.navigator.permission.disabled", true);
profile.setPreference("media.navigator.streams.fake", true);
capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
P.S. Development is done on a windows system but will later be moved to Linux.
Thanks,
John
