I'm using Selenium RC + .Net Client Driver. I've created a Firefox profile in my c:\selenium\ directory. Here's my code:
Dim MySelenium As ISelenium = Nothing
MySelenium = New DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*custom C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe -profile c:/selenium/", "http://www.google.com/")
When I run this, I get the following error:
Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser
What is the proper way to do this?
You need to launch it via RC rather than in your code.
So you would do
java -jar selenium-server.jar -firefoxProfileTemplate c:\selenium\
to launch the browser and then do
Dim MySelenium As ISelenium = Nothing
MySelenium = New DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "http://www.google.com/")
and that should launch Firefox for with the profile you want.
In Java you can create the Selenium Server programmatically and pass a File as the newFirefoxProfileTemplate configuration property:
RemoteControlConfiguration rcc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
rcc.setPort(5499);
rcc.setFirefoxProfileTemplate(newFirefoxProfileTemplate); // This is a File object
SeleniumServer server = new SeleniumServer(rcc);
server.start();
Perhaps there are similar (or the same) vb.net classes available.
