Use Existing Chrome Browser with remote-debugging-port using RobotFramework












1















I am trying to use existing google chrome instance using RobotFramework (SeleniumLibrary). I am starting the chrome instance like this



chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9289 --user-data-dir="D:gcdata"


This my code in robotframework



${options}= Evaluat      sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()  sys,selenium.webdriver  
${prefs}= Create Dictionary debuggerAddress 127.0.0.1:9289
Call Method ${options} add_experimental_option prefs ${prefs}
Create WebDriver Chrome chrome_options=${options}


When I run the RobotFramework code, it invokes a new browser. Can anyone help me here telling what is going wrong and how to fix it.

          Using the most recent versions of the Python Selenium Module, Chrome and ChromeDriver the following Robot script will connect to an already running chrome that is started using:



          chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9289 --user-data-dir="C:tempgdata"


          chrome_debugger.robot



          *** Settings ***
          Library SeleniumLibrary
          Library Collections

          *** Test Cases ***
          TC

          ${ChromeOptions}= Evaluate sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() sys,selenium.webdriver

          # Method debugger_address is not callable so convert to Capabilities Dictionary and set it manually
          ${ChromeCapabilities}= Call Method ${ChromeOptions} to_capabilities
          Set To Dictionary ${ChromeCapabilities["goog:chromeOptions"]} debuggerAddress 127.0.0.1:9289

          # Instead of using the Chrome Options use Capabilities.
          Create WebDriver Chrome desired_capabilities=${ChromeCapabilities}
          Go To http://cnn.com


          Even though the ChromeOptions class (GitHub) has the debugger_address(self, value) method, calling this method from Robot Framework returns an error. Therefore converting the ChromeOptions class to a Capabilities dictionary and adding it manualy to the dictionary before passing it to the webdriver through the desired_capabilities argument.
