Screen Saver #148

Closed msgoussi closed 7 years ago

msgoussi commented 7 years ago

Since Firefox version 48, Mozilla requires all add-ons to be signed. Until recently, Firefox support in Selenium was exclusively provided by an add-on. As this add-on is not currently signed, this solution does not work with the latest Firefox releases. As an alternative, Mozilla are working on a WebDriver specification compliant implementation named GeckoDriver. Please note that the specification is not complete, and that Selenium itself does not comply with the specification at this time. This means that features previously available through Selenium will not be available using GeckoDriver.

Currently we would advise against using the latest firefox/geckodriver with selenium untill the w3c webdriver specification is complete. If you wish to use firefox we would advise using an older version via a Docker image. See the RSelenium Docker vignette for more detail:

I am wondering what is the best way for preventing windows to lock (screen saver) while using rselenium.

I found a way to press numlock twice so it tells the computer that a person is pressing a key at the keyboard. it is solved.
