Selenium 3.3.1 Firefox Portable 52.0.2 Java Code Problem

Question

Hi ,

i finally resolved to start Firefox Portable with the gecko driver.

Now i have the following problem :

final FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile(new File(config.getFf_profile()));
            final FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary(new File(config.getFf_path()));
            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
            capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, firefoxProfile);
            capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.BINARY, firefoxBinary);
            capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_BEHAVIOUR, UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.IGNORE);
            System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", config.getGeckodriver_path());
            driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            driver.get(this.url);

If i start this , the test program never passes behind the line

driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);

It just starts FirefoxPortable and show me my profile directory. It didnt start the url the driver get later. Also i get no timeout nothing.

Gecko show following log :

There is no "Marionette    INFO    Listening on port 62883" after that ...

If i remove binary and profile caps , my test program starts the default firefox and then connect the url. Just FirefoxPortable make some problems :)

Answer 1

Try to use FirefoxPortable without setting up FirefoxProfile.

 final FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary(new File(config.getFf_path()));
            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
            capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.BINARY, firefoxBinary);
            capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.UNEXPECTED_ALERT_BEHAVIOUR, UnexpectedAlertBehaviour.IGNORE);
            System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", config.getGeckodriver_path());
            driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            driver.get(this.url);

Let us know how it works!
