Title sounds interesting. But think once again if you are told to start testing on instance of Firefox or Chrome installed with certain add-on then might be this article would favorably help you in time of need.
Let me do the operation on Firefox..so are you ready !!!
Steps:1- For this we need to create one profile
Steps:1- For this we need to create one profile
FirefoxProfile firefoxprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
2- Now go to add-on’s binary download page and download the add-on with .xpi extension and save it in Default Download location.Suppose taking path of .xpi file is c:/add-on
oh still you are thinking what we need to do then
3- Read the file location by using File class that we normally use for creation of files and directories, file searching, file deletion etc.
File addonpath = new File("path of .xpi file");
4- Now time has came to call the addExtension() of FirefoxProfile class.This method will install add-on in new profile created with new Instance of Firefox.
firefoxprofile.addExtension(addonpath);Now pass this profile in to new instance of FirefoxDriver
As a whole this code will look like this in Eclipse to install add-on in Firefox using WebDriver
FirefoxProfile firefoxprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
File addonpath = new File("path of .xpi file");
firefoxprofile.addExtension(addonpath);
WebDriver driver = new WebDriver(firefoxprofile)
But don’t think that same step we are going to follow again. Because in Chrome we need to create instance of ChromeOption class . This class has many methods like addExtension()- This method is used to install add-on in new instance of Chrome, setBinary()- This method is used to Sets the path to the Chrome executable, setArguments()- Adds additional command line arguments to be used when starting Chrome.
Steps for Chrome:
1- Download the add-on in default location and read it using File Class again like above
2- Now create instance of ChromeOptions
1- Download the add-on in default location and read it using File Class again like above
File addonpath = new File("path of .crx file");2- Now create instance of ChromeOptions
ChromeOptions chrome = new ChromeOptions();
chrome.addExtensions(addonpath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Now we are done with both Chrome and Firefox.Hope you would like this article.
