Can it be used with Selenium 3?

[dpburst]

Hi! I am just wondering whether this addon can be used together with Selenium 3? I just wrote a demo, trying to get HAR with python selenium 3. But it seems that it is not working at all (with no har file generated).
Here is my profile setting. I am testing on MacOS, firefox 78.3.0esr and Selenium 3.141.0.
` profile.set_preference("extensions.netmonitor.har.enableAutomation", True);
profile.set_preference("extensions.netmonitor.har.contentAPIToken", "test");
profile.set_preference("extensions.netmonitor.har.autoConnect", True);

profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.enabled", True);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.compress", False);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultFileName", "Autoexport_%y%m%d_%H%M%S");
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultLogDir", HARDIR);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.enableAutoExportToFile", True);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.forceExport", True);   
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.includeResponseBodies", False);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonp", False);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonpCallback", False);
profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.pageLoadedTimeout", "2500");
profile.update_preferences()`

@dpburst thanks for the report!

I don't have much experience with Selenium, can you provide some instructions to help me to it setup up on my machine and try the addon with it?

Thanks!

@janodvarko Thank you so much for your reply. Here is my code (but it can not work):

import os
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile

# path to the firefox binary inside the Tor package
binary = '/Applications/firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox'
if os.path.exists(binary) is False:
	raise ValueError("The binary path to Tor firefox does not exist.")
firefox_binary = FirefoxBinary(binary)
HARDIR = '/Users/aaron/Desktop/log'
AR_EXPORTTRIGGER_PATH = "/Users/aaron/Desktop/har_export_trigger-0.6.1-an+fx.xpi"

def get_profile():
	assert os.path.exists(AR_EXPORTTRIGGER_PATH)
	profile=webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.enabled", True);
	# profile.add_extension(extension=AR_EXPORTTRIGGER_PATH)
	profile.set_preference("extensions.netmonitor.har.enableAutomation", True);
	profile.set_preference("extensions.netmonitor.har.contentAPIToken", "test");
	profile.set_preference("extensions.netmonitor.har.autoConnect", True);

	
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.compress", False);
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultFileName", "Autoexport_%y%m%d_%H%M%S");
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultLogDir", HARDIR);
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.enableAutoExportToFile", True);
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.forceExport", True);   
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.includeResponseBodies", False);
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonp", False);
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonpCallback", False);
	profile.set_preference("devtools.netmonitor.har.pageLoadedTimeout", "2500");
	profile.update_preferences()
	return profile

browser = None
def get_browser():
	global browser  
	# only one instance of a browser opens, remove global for multiple instances
	if not browser: 
		browser = webdriver.Firefox( firefox_profile = get_profile())
		browser.install_addon(AR_EXPORTTRIGGER_PATH, temporary=True)
	return browser

if __name__ == "__main__":
	browser = get_browser()
	urls = (
		('tor browser check', 'https://check.torproject.org/'),
		# ('ip checker', 'http://icanhazip.com')
	)
	for url_name, url in urls:
		print("getting", url_name, "at", url)
		browser.get(url)
		# browser.quit()

I find that profile.add_extension(extension=AR_EXPORTTRIGGER_PATH) can not addon the extension to firefox.
browser.install_addon(AR_EXPORTTRIGGER_PATH, temporary=True) can install the extension, but in both cases I can not get any HAR file saved in HARDIR.

My settings are:
python 3.7
selenium 3.141.0
firefox 81.0.1
geckodriver 0.26.0
har_export_trigger-0.6.1-an+fx.xpi

Greatly appreciate it if you could make it work! Thanks!

I installed Selenium via npm install selenium-webdriver and tested HAR Trigger using the attached example test. It works for me (I can see HAR logs/files in the target directory), but how can I:

1. Get the Selenium version installed?
2. Ensure that Selenium 3 is installed?

const { Builder, By, Key, until } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const firefox = require('selenium-webdriver/firefox');

const HARDIR = "C:\\src\\www\\selenium\\first-test\\logs";

/**
 * Test entry point.
 */
async function runTest() {
  let driver;

  try {
    const options = new firefox.Options()
      .setPreference("extensions.firebug.allPagesActivation", "on")
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.enabled", true)
      .setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.enableAutomation", true)
      .setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.contentAPIToken", "test")
      .setPreference("extensions.netmonitor.har.autoConnect", true)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.compress", false)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultFileName", "Autoexport_%y%m%d_%H%M%S")
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.defaultLogDir", HARDIR)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.enableAutoExportToFile", true)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.forceExport", true)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.includeResponseBodies", false)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonp", false)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.jsonpCallback", false)
      .setPreference("devtools.netmonitor.har.pageLoadedTimeout", "2500")
      .addArguments("--devtools", "")
      .addExtensions('./har_export_trigger-0.6.1-an+fx.xpi');

    const driver = await new Builder()
        .forBrowser('firefox')
        .setFirefoxOptions(options)
        .build();

    //await driver.installAddon('./har_export_trigger-0.6.1-an+fx.xpi');
    await driver.get('http://janodvarko.cz/test/harexporttrigger');
    let title = await driver.getTitle();
    console.log("The title is: " + title);

    driver.findElement(By.id("xhr1")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.id("xhr1")).click();

    await driver.sleep(2000);
    await driver.quit();
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

runTest();
