我需要启用Java（tm）插件，以便在浏览器中安装小程序。在Web驱动程序中怎么可能

Question

I need to enable java (tm) plugin which installs applet in the browser.. How is it possible in Web Driver? I am testing a web app where some functionality has to be verified by enabling java(ie, by installing applet) and also some functionality by disabling it. If applet works fine, then I need some expected results and if applet is not installed, I need some other results.. so how do i enable/disable applets(ie,java tm plugin) before launching browser..?? Please Help..

Currently am using WebDriver...

Answer 1

Create a firefox profile to load firefox with the plugin which you want. Use the below code and replace the plugin name with your plugin name.

   File file = new File("firebug-1.8.1.xpi");
   FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
   firefoxProfile.addExtension(file);
   firefoxProfile.setPreference("extensions.firebug.currentVersion", "1.8.1"); // Avoid startup screen

   WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

You can enable any Firefox plugin creating new profile and setting the preference.

For eg to enable java plugin

profile.setPreference("plugin.state.java", 2);

To enable flash plugin

profile.setPreference("plugin.state.flash", 2);

Sample code:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("plugin.state.java", 2);

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

I presume the "2" activates the plugin.
