How to set firefox profile while running automation script on other machine using Selenium Grid?

Question

I am trying to set Firefox profile so that "File Download" pop-up is not appeared. It works absolutely fine when I run on my machine without using Grid, however when I trigger execution through Grid firefox profile don't get set.

Could you please guide?

Can you post your code which is setting up Firefox profile? Also, can you post any error it is throwing?

public static FirefoxProfile FirefoxDriverProfile() throws Exception
    {
        ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();
        //FirefoxProfile myProfile = allProfiles.getProfile("default");
       
        FirefoxProfile profile = allProfiles.getProfile("default");     //new FirefoxProfile();
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "\\INAIRDT541539\\downloads"/*getPath(Constants.DOWNLOADPATH)*/);
        profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile", "text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml");
        profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "text/csv,application/x-msexcel,application/excel,application/x-excel,application/vnd.ms-excel,image/png,image/jpeg,text/html,text/plain,application/msword,application/xml");
        profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.useWindow", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete", false);
        profile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone", false);       
        profile.setPreference("webdriver.log.file", "c:\\temp\\firefox.log");
        profile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
        profile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(true);
        return profile;
    }

caps = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
                    caps.setBrowserName("firefox");                   
                    caps.setPlatform(Platform.WINDOWS);
                    caps.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, FirefoxDriverProfile());
            driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://<IP Address>:5566/wd/hub"), caps.firefox(), caps);

I see that you are storing your downloads on intranet.

"\\INAIRDT541539\\downloads"

Are you sure that this pat is accessible by the user who is running the node on the node machine?

Also, make sure that path in

 

profile.setPreference("webdriver.log.file", "c:\\temp\\firefox.log");

 

is a valid path on the node machine. Let me know your comments.
