Gauge/Selenium with Firefox on Ubuntu

[ademant]

It took really long till I realized the reason, why I could not test with Gauge/Selenium with firefox browser.
Nothing worked; best thing was an error message that the profile was not accepted.
The reason, firefox was not working is: It was installed as snap package!
After removing from snap and installing firefox via apt sources, it worked for me.

Right now I have following code, so I could easily change between different browser:

const {  Builder,  WebDriver} = require("selenium-webdriver");
const chrome = require("selenium-webdriver/chrome");
const firefox = require("selenium-webdriver/firefox");
const edge = require("selenium-webdriver/edge");

Later in a hook:

beforeScenario(async function () {
  driver = new Builder();
  if (process.env.env == "firefox") {
    let options = new firefox.Options().addArguments("--width=1920","--height=1080");
    if (process.env.headless == "true")
      options = options.addArguments("-headless");
    driver = driver.forBrowser("firefox").setFirefoxOptions(options).build();
  } else if (process.env.env == "edge") {
    var service = new edge.ServiceBuilder().setPort(55555).build();
    let options = new edge.Options().addArguments("--window-size=1929, 1080");
    if (process.env.headless == "true")
      options = options.addArguments("--headless");
    driver = edge.Driver.createSession(options, service);
} else {
    let options = new chrome.Options().addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080").addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage").setLocalState({browser: {enabled_labs_experiments: ["same-site-by-default-cookies@2"]}});

    if (process.env.headless == "true") {
      options = options.addArguments("--headless","--no-sandbox","--disable-gui");
    }

    var prefs = new logging.Preferences();
    prefs.setLevel(logging.Type.BROWSER, logging.Level.SEVERE);

    var caps = Capabilities.chrome();
    caps.setLoggingPrefs(prefs);

    driver = driver
      .withCapabilities(caps)
      .forBrowser("chrome")
      .setChromeOptions(options)
      .build();
  }});
