![]() ![]() After some hours, I found one of these working combinations:ĭownload Firefox, Firebug and FirePath in a separate folder to clearly separate them from your current Firefox instance. I’m heavily missing an official table regarding the version of Selenium-Server and its supported browser versions. Many times a bad xPath is responsible for troubles, so now I like to rise the great FirePath on the halted Firefox and start debugging the bad xPath:įinding the proper combination of the versions of Selenium-Server, Firefox, Firebug (required for Firepath) and Firepath can be a nightmare. My ideal test-automation workflow: I set a breakpoint beside a suspicious line of code in my IDE, then I start the testprogram, the Firefox rises, I watch it clicking, typing, … and then the testprogram stops at my breakpoint. I appreciate the power of FirePath for coping with xPaths (compare XPath extensions for Chrome), so I like to have it debug-ready on the Firefox which I’m currently “driving” while creating my testprograms. So enhance your test-automation workflow with an integrated FirePath! Firefox Firepath Selenium To say it very clear: 20 seconds more in the starting phase is nothing compared to the time we spend to navigate a different Firefox (not the driven Firefox) until we finally reach the point of disturbance and finally start to debug the xPath there. The few seconds difference are maybe caused by performance differences by the webserver of the tested website, anyhow not significant … ![]() In contrast the execution of the typical testprogram doesn’t show a significant difference in velocity. The starting of a WebDriver-driven Firefox with an integrated FirePath costs in average about 20 seconds more than the starting of a “naked” Firefox. ![]() I distinguished two phases: duration to start the Firefox Browser and duration for executing a very typical testprogram against a common website. ![]() I did a basic performance test for my favorite test-automation workflow with an integrated FirePath. ![]()
