Re: letting Selenium do what it wants (was: user.js for firefox)

Hi Paul,

Thanks for replying. Alas, I am still doing something
wrong. Please find attached the exact steps I'm
taking. I must be doing one of these steps incorrectly
because I can't get the google test to work.

#### INSTRUCTIONS ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS AND DO NOT CURRENTLY WORK FOR ME.

1. Create a user.js file in the directory (if you haven't created one before)

~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.yourusername/user.js


2. Enter the following into the user.js file:

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localselenium");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.sites", "file://");
/* Or if using the server method
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.sites", "http://testingserver";);
*/
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.javascript.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.DOMParser", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.HTMLDocument.getElementsByName", 
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.HTMLDocument.evaluate", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.HTMLInputElement.value", 
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.HTMLInputElement.dispatchEvent", 
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.HTMLAnchorElement.dispatchEvent", 
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.HTMLAnchorElement.href", 
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.History", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.DOMException", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Location", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.SOAPCall", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.alert", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.confirm", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.open", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.closed", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.addEventListener", 
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.document", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.Window.location", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.XMLHttpRequest.open", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localselenium.checkloaduri", "allAccess");

3. Add the following to your 
path_to_selenium_folder/selenium/SeleneseRunner.html file, just before 
testLoop.start();:

testLoop.reallyKickoffNextCommandExecution = 
testLoop.kickoffNextCommandExecution;
testLoop.kickoffNextCommandExecution = function () 
{
        
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead 
UniversalFileRead UniversalBrowserWrite UniversalBrowserAccess");
        return testLoop.reallyKickoffNextCommandExecution();
}

i.e insert the above code like this:

function runTest() {
    ...

        <insert code snippet here>

    testLoop.start();
}


4. Open the firefox browser and enter the following into the address bar:
# Using the file method
file:///path_to_selenium_folder/selenium/TestRunner.html?test=tests/GoogleTestSuite.html

# Using the server method
http://testingserver/selenium/TestRunner.html?test=tests/GoogleTestSuite.html

5. Run the test. If the test works then local testing from your firefox browser 
is possible._______________________________________________
