My question is about setting proxy in selenium (3.4.3.) coding in python (2.7) for Firefox (Geckodriver v0.18.0-win64). The spec at http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp provides only a java example.
from selenium import webdriver
PROXY = "94.56.171.137:8080"
class Proxy(object):
def __call__(self):
self.base_url = "https://whatismyip.com"
print self.base_url
# proxy json object
desired_capability = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy']={
"httpProxy":PROXY,
"ftpProxy":PROXY,
"sslProxy":PROXY,
#"noProxy":None,
"proxyType":"manual"
}
firefox_profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
firefox_profile.set_preference("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", True)
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='D:\Code\Drivers\geckodriver',firefox_profile=firefox_profile, capabilities=desired_capability)
self.driver.get(self.base_url)
if __name__ == "__main__":
proxy_test = Proxy()
proxy_test()
I am getting the following Error Message:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Possible firefox version mismatch. You must use GeckoDriver instead for Firefox 48+.
If I comment the code regarding the proxy, I am able to get the page, in private mode as the profile specified. I think it is the proxy that is messing things up.
