How to set Firefox Profile: Selenium RC, .Net Client Driver?

Question

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 = Nothi         


        

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
