Window resize with Selenium

Added support for browser window resize functionality.

 

When using prior to version 8.3, is there a work-around to specify the browser size?

What version of DevTest are you having this Selenium issue with?

[tommy_jp]

We use version 8.0.2.

In version 8.0.2 and Firefox, by using the Firefox profile, it could specify the window size.

But, workaround of Chrome has not been found.

Hi Masateru,

 

Could you explain the steps to specify window size. Is there a property which we need to specify in config?

 

Thanks,

Ankush

The steps to specify window size in Firefox (in the case of over 34) is as follows. in DevTest 8.0.2.

1. Create new Firefox Profile and save it.
2. Open the "xulstore.json" file that is in Firefox profile folder.
3. Modify the value of "main-window". as bellow.
   • "width": "600", "height": "500"
4. Select all files in the Firefox profile folder and zip them.
5. Encode zip file in Base64 and get strings.
6. Copy "_selenium-config.json" file and rename it to "selenium-config.json" in DevTest home folder and open it.
7. Modify the value of "firefox_profile" and paste the strings that is encoded in Base64.
8. Run DevTest test case or test suite. Maybe.. it works fine!

Hello,

 

There is a DevTest patch for Window resize which works fine with IE, FF and Chrome. Reach out to your DevTest admin to get it.

 

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

I contacted CA support, and i got a patch that supports Selenium setWindowSize action.

It works fine with 8.0.2.
