G’day peeps,
Had an issue today running our offline cucumber tests with Selenium and Firefox. The message “This website (127.0.0.1) is asking to store data on your computer for offline use.” kept coming up with firefox version 7+. To allow it I made the following modification to our firefox profile.
First create a custom profile (selenium_firefox_profile) with an sqllite DB.
$ mkdir selenium_firefox_profile
$ cd selenium_firefox_profile
$ sqlite3 permissions.sqlite3 # This filename is important
sqlite> CREATE TABLE moz_hosts ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,host TEXT,type TEXT,
permission INTEGER, expireType INTEGER, expireTime INTEGER);
sqlite> INSERT INTO "moz_hosts" VALUES(1,'127.0.0.1','offline-app',1,NULL,NULL);
sqlite> .quit
Setup Cabybara with your new custom profile
Capybara.register_driver :selenium_firefox_profile do |app|
require 'selenium/webdriver'
profile_path = "/path/to/selenium_firefox_profile"
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new(profile_path)
driver = Capybara::Driver::Selenium.new(app, :profile => profile)
driver
end
# And set the default driver to our new one:
Capybara.default_driver = :selenium_firefox_profile
Everything should be gravy :)
