unable to set settings from serenity.properties

[sumit24jun]

Hi,

I wanted to set InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS:true" property in serenity.properties , but its not working for me ( in my CI setup, i cannot guarantee protected settings as it is controlled by IT, hence looking to set it in automaiton)

Please advise how i can set it in serenity,properties.

Additional details if i set it like below in my page that extends pageObject. it works fine but i am unable to refer other properties that are set in serenity.property file

========================================== InternetExplorerOptions opt = new InternetExplorerOptions(); opt.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING,true); opt.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true); WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(opt);

    super.setDriver(driver);

==========================================================

Have you tried something like:

driver_capabilities.iexplorer.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS = true
driver_capabilities.iexplorer.IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING = true

in your serenity.properties file?

Hi,

tried that as well, but getting driver could not be instantiated exception

You cannot override the driver in that way. There are many reasons for IE not working, a lot of which are nothing to do with code. The properties mentioned about should create the correct capability object. Put a breakpoint in InternetExplorerDriverProvider and see if you can see what is actually causing the exception.

I have the same problem. I tried the following entries in serenity.properties to no avail:

driver_capabilities.iexplorer.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS = true
driver_capabilities.iexplorer.ignoreProtectedModeSettings = true
driver_capabilities.iexplorer.ie.ignoreProtectedModeSettings = true

At this point I am considering forking Serenity just to modify InternetExplorerDriverProvider::recommendedDefaultInternetExplorerCapabilites.

Can you suggest other options?

[wakaleo]

Rather than forking, if you know the code you want in the InternetExplorerDriverProvider, why not add an option in a PR?

I wouldn't want to force anybody to actually use INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, because it introduces flakiness across security domains. I would rather not set it myself, but it's just my company's security policy to reset the IE settings to inconsistent protected mode settings for the different IE-security zones.

I also tried to subclass PageObject and initialize super(with_my_own_driver), but that got bypassed when I called driver.navigate() in my testcases.

Are there some injections mechanisms that I could use to set the option before driver creation?

[wakaleo]

INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS is indeed something that the IE driver author recommends never using. But it would be acceptance to add a property to the ThucydidesSystemProperties class for this. We don't have any options to invervene in driver creation at this stage.

I came across the requirement to set these properties on my project and set them slightly differently e.g.

driver_capabilities.iexplorer.ignoreProtectedModeSettings=true
driver_capabilities.iexplorer.ignoreZoomSetting=true

This is because as I understand it, the String values of the InternetExplorerDriver constants need to be used rather than the field names e.g.

public class InternetExplorerDriver extends RemoteWebDriver {
    public static final String IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING = "ignoreZoomSetting";
    public static final String NATIVE_EVENTS = "nativeEvents";
    public static final String INITIAL_BROWSER_URL = "initialBrowserUrl";
    public static final String ELEMENT_SCROLL_BEHAVIOR = "elementScrollBehavior";
    public static final String UNEXPECTED_ALERT_BEHAVIOR = "unexpectedAlertBehaviour";
    public static final String ENABLE_ELEMENT_CACHE_CLEANUP = "enableElementCacheCleanup";
    public static final String BROWSER_ATTACH_TIMEOUT = "browserAttachTimeout";
    public static final String INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS = "ignoreProtectedModeSettings";
    public static final String ENABLE_PERSISTENT_HOVERING = "enablePersistentHover";
    public static final String REQUIRE_WINDOW_FOCUS = "requireWindowFocus";

When I put the breakpoint into InternetExplorerDriverProvider as John suggests, the values definitely get loaded so there should be no need to create a custom driver, or create a PR:
