In order to automate Firefox you need to make sure the Squish Firefox Extensionis installed in the user profile used by Firefox when it is started outside ofSquish. The easiest way to install the extension is to open a file browser andnavigate to your Squish for Web package. From there go into thelib
subfolder in the package. If you use Firefox 57 or anewer version drag and drop the filesquishWebExt@froglogic.com.xpi
into the Firefox browserwindow and acknowledge the installation. If you use a Firefox version olderthan 57 you'll need to drag and drop the filesquish@froglogic.com.xpi
into the Firefox browser windowand acknowledge the installation by restarting Firefox.
The Squish Firefox Extension by default uses the port 9932 for communication with the rest of Squish for Web. If this portis already used by some other program on your system you can configure the extension to use a different port. In orderto do this just open the Firefox menu, click on the Tools entry and in the submenu click onAddons item. This opens a new tab with the extensions loaded by Firefox, make sure the entry on the left of the page is selected. You should see the Squish Firefox Extension there andbelow it a button labeled or depending on your system. If youclick that button a new popup window appears where you can change the port number. This port number should then be passed to theattachToBrowser
function to attach to this instance ofFirefox.
Usually Firefox will delay WebSocket connection attempts to a given WebSocket server for some time if the last attemptfailed. This is a problem when wanting to attach to the browser from Squish as the Extension will repeatedlytry to connect to Squish, but this connection will fail as long as there is no Squish test script executed with theattachToBrowser
function. Hence after a while these connectionattempts will be delayed by Firefox and eventually the delay will be longer than the AUT timeout configured in Squishwhich will cause the connection to fail to be established.
This behavior of Firefox can be disabled by opening the special about:config URL in a new browser tab. Please acknowledgethe warning by clicking the button. The setting to change isnetwork.websocket.delay-failed-reconnects and it should be set to false. You cansearch for the setting by typing the name into the search field and changing the setting can be done with a simpledouble click of the mouse on the value.

In order to automate Internet Explorer using Squish for Web it is necessary to instruct it to use just a single processfor all its tabs. Internet Explorer 10 and newer will usually use multiple processes for rendering websites as can beseen in the task manager.
Internet Explorer can be instructed to use only one process by changing a registry setting using the registry editor.The editor can be started by opening the Windows menu and then start typing regedit
andselect the entry running the regedit
command.
The registry editor shows a tree on the left, locate the entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER and expand it.Following the tree structure expand the Software entry, below that Microsoftand finally inside Microsoft expand Internet Explorer. In this sectionthere's an entry called Main and once it is selected you see a couple of keys on the rightside of the editor. There should be a DWORD
entry called TabProcGrowth there. TheTabProcGrowth entry has to be set to 0 in order for Squish for Web to be able to automateInternet Explorer after attaching to it. Once this is done make sure to restart any running instances of the browser.

- 3.6.5.1. Known issues when using Squish with Microsoft® Edge
Microsoft® Edge support on Windows 10 is realized through the Webdriver for Edge.The Webdriver is not redistributed with squish so you have to download it from Microsoft®.Download Microsoft® Edge Webdriver
When using the Webdriver implementation Squish does not start the browser itself but the Webdriver.Since the Webdriver executable can be located anywhere on the system you need to specify the path to the Webdriver.If you're using the IDE you can simply use the Browser-Executable field in the Server Settings Dialog under EditServer SettingsBrowser and Microsoft Edge.In case you do not use the IDE you can set the environment variable SQUISH_BROWSERPATH
to point to the Webdriver-Executable.
3.6.5.1. Known issues when using Squish with Microsoft® Edge
Microsoft® Edge support is still in an early stage so there are some known issues.
Switching to Fullscreen mode is not supported.
Tab support is limited to playback. While recording only a single tab is supported.If you try to open multiple tabs or try to switch between tabs during recording the focuswill always go back to the initial tab.
automateLogin
is not supported. In generalwebsites with native login dialogs are not supported.When you start recording the browser window is sometimes opened before the initialization iscomplete, which might lead to events not being recorded. Make sure the Squish recording Control Bar is opened.
When a new page is loaded there might be up to a 100ms gap in which no events are recorded by Squish.
When a new page is loaded that has a different origin or domain it's possible that events recorded directlybefore the page change happens are lost.
Drag and Drop on HTML input fields does not work reliably. As a workaroundyou can either drop the item with the relative x drop location set to 1. Or call
mouseMove
between the drag and drop calls (the mouseMovecoordinates should be the target coordinates offset by 1). This could be a generalproblem with how Microsoft® Edge processes drag and drop events and might thereforebe applicable to other scenarios as well.If you experience webdriver crashes after test script execution you might need toincrease the SoftExitTimeout: Configuring squishrunner (Section 7.4.3.26)

Different versions of Chromium require to use different versions of thechromedriver executable, in particular newer chromedriver versions do notsupport older versions of Chromium. In order to find the right chromedriverexecutable you need to determine the exact version of Chromium being used inyour application and check the release notes of chromedriver on the abovelinked download page to find the chromedriver version suitable for yourapplication.Older releases can be accessed by going to the parent directory from one of thenewer download links, which leads to a directory listing all versions. |
In order for Squish to find the downloaded Chromium webdriver executable you can place it into a directorythat is in your PATH. As an alternative you can configure the location in the file webwrapper.ini that you can findin the etc directory of your Squish installation. Open the file in a text editor and replace the value 'chromedriver'in the line starting with 'ChromeDriverForChromiumBasedApps' with the absolute path of the downloaded chromedriverexecutable. On Windows it is necessary to duplicate the backslashes in the pathto fulfill the formatting requirements of the file.
Note |

If you want to automate an application that is using nw.js please make sure to use the chromedriver executableprovided as part of the nw.js SDK download as the standard chromedriver seems to not work properly at the time ofwriting this. |
In order to tell Squish about your Chromium-based application please select it as the browser executable in theServer Settings Dialog of the IDE. You can access the dialogby opening the Edit menu and below that the Server Settingssubmenu. In this submenu select the entry labeled Browser. In the dialogfill in the field below Chromium-based Applications (using CEF, Electron, nw.js etc.) and make sure that entryis selected.
In case you do not use the IDE you can set the environment variable SQUISH_BROWSERPATH
to point to your application.

In order to attach to a Chromium-based application its necessary to prepareSquish for automating Chromium-based applications as explained in Chromium-based applications (Section 3.6.6). Afterthe basic setup has been finished it is necessary to enable remote debuggingfeatures in the Chromium-part of the application. This is sometimes exposed asa commandline flag named --remote-debugging-port
but itcan also be set through code in your application. The port number used for theremote debugging port number needs to be passed to the attachToBrowser
function in the testscript to connect to the Chromium web content in the application.
3.6.6.2. Known issues when using Squish with Chromium-based Applications
Window interaction methods (maximizing, minimizing, setting to fullscreen, changing the size) are notsupported as Squish only controls the web contents but not the whole application.
Interaction with multiple web views in an application is possible, but limited to the web contentinside them. Squish cannot make them visible/invisible or bring one view to the foreground as a human usermay do.
Screenshot verifications and Visual verifications will be using a desktop screenshot method which requiresthat the webview to be verified in is visible on screen fully. Web views that are not visible, for example becausethey are part of another tab inside the application cannot be grabbed. In addition the Chromium-based applicationmust not be overlapped by other applications at the time of grabbing the screenshot as the screenshot will includesuch overlapped applications if they're covering the web view.
The
isBrowserDialogOpen
function always yields false for Chromium-based applications.

3.6.7.1.1. Manual Setup Steps for Enabling Automation
Safari 12 stopped supporting the use of Plug-In's which Squish relied on sofar, so Squish adopted a different mechanism for automation, based on Safari'ssupport for WebDriver. In order to allow automation via Safari's WebDriver youmust enable this through the Develop menu. This menu optionis usually hidden, but can be shown by opening the Preferences of Safari andselecting the Advanced tab. On the tab ensure the option is checked.
Once the Develop menu is shown open it and make surethe Allow Remote Automation option ischecked.

3.6.7.1.2. Semi-Automatic Setup Steps for Enabling Automation
It is possible to enable the automation of Safari without starting the browserand going through the Develop menu. Safari's webdriverutility safaridriver allows to enable the Remote Automation through itscommandline arguments. You can invoke safaridriver as shown below and providethe administrator password to enable automation, please make sure that Safariis not running on the system while doing this.

There are certain restrictions when automating Safari 12 as well asthings to be aware of, we documented all of those in Limitations (Section 3.6.7.1.3). |
The automation of Safari through the WebDriver protocol and Safari'sbehavior when being automated through this protocol impose certain restrictionson what can be done in the test scripts. In particular Safari is being executedin a separate dedicated Session which does not share any data with the normalbrowsing session, so cookies and other data is not being taken over from thenormal browsing session. In addition to that the following limitations apply as well.
No support for recording or picking objects. Since Safari ends the automationas soon as a native click appears on the window there is no way for Squish toreceive such click events (or text input) and hence neither recordinginteractions nor picking elements is possible. Only script execution andnavigation of the object structure via the Application Objects view's tree arepossible.
No support for native native text input (nativeType) or native mouseinput via the mousePress/mouseRelease functions. Safari disallows native eventsin the special automation session, causing abortion of the automation ifattempted.
Limited support for the nativeMouseClick function. The overload taking aHTML object can be used, but the relative coordinates will be ignored and onlyleft button clicks can be performed. The WebDriver protocol only allows toclick on the center of html elements with the left mouse button.
Squish's automateLogin function, used for the Basic HTTP Authenticationdialogs used on some websites, cannot be used. The function uses native eventswhich would break the automation session and the WebDriver protocol does notprovide a way to interact with these dialogs. The login on such a websitemust be achieved through different means.
Automation of file uploads requires that the input element used for theactual file upload is visible and interactable. Websites hiding this htmlelement and showing customized upload buttons require some manual scriptingthat makes the hidden input field visible and then automates that field viasetText, similar to the following snippet.
The active browser tab will be changing regularly. In order to use theWebDriver protocol the active tab needs to be activated for certain operations.In Safari such a change of the active also visually changes the active tab inthe UI. Since Squish does such operations behind the scenes during the normaloperation some 'flickering' of tabs may occur
macOS 10.11.5 updated the version of Safari shipped with the system which now defaults to disallow the execution of JavaScript code in the web page through AppleScript. Squish relies on this method of executing JavaScript and thus it is necessary to enable this support again when using Safari on macOS 10.11.5 or later.
In order to enable this option its necessary to make Safari show the 'Develop' menu. This can be done by opening the Preferences of Safari, then selecting the Advanced tab and ensure the option 'Show Develop menu in menu bar' is checked.
Once the 'Develop' menu is available in the menu bar, open the menu and make sure the option 'Allow JavaScript from Apple Events' is checked. This enables Squish for Web to automate Safari on macOS 10.11.5 and later.
You can execute, record and inspect web applications running in Operaby selecting it the Server Settings dialog in the Squish IDE.Open the dialog using EditServerSettings and then select theBrowser page. In the dropdown on the right selectOpera.
The Opera browser in versions up to 12 uses its own configuration settingsfor proxy servers. This makes it necessary to configure it to use the Squish for Web proxy manually, so Squish isable to automate Websites running in Opera.
Configuring the proxy can be done in the settings of Opera, they can be opened from the Menu byselecting the 'Settings' entry and then in the submenu again selecting 'Settings'. In the dialog thatappears the tab labeled 'Advanced' needs to be selected to allow accessing the network configuration.The list on the left side of the tabs content has a corresponding entry called 'Network' which needs tobe selected. Click the button 'Proxy servers' in the dialog to configure the proxy servers that Operauses. In the newly opened dialog make sure the radio button 'Use manual proxyserver configuration' is selectedand check the checkbox next the 'HTTP' entry. The fields 'proxyserver' and 'port' need to be filled with thevalues 'localhost' and '8000' respectively. In addition the checkbox 'Use the proxy for local servers' further downshould be activated to make it possible to test the addressbook application that ships with Squish.
In addition to configuring the proxy, the Crash Recovery dialog in Opera should be disabled. Sincethe dialog cannot be automated with Squish for Web it would otherwise cause test execution abortion as itappears on each start of Opera after Squish has exited the browser. This setting needs to be changed inOperas configuration editor, which can be opened by putting 'about:config' into the location bar. The pagethat is being opened allows searching for specific settings. Use 'Problem' as keyword for the search so itwill reveal the configuration entry for enabling and disabling the dialog. The title of the setting is'Show Problem Dialog' and the configuration entry needs to be disabled by unchecking the checkbox next tothe text.
This completes the steps needed to setup Opera for testing with Squish, you can now select the Operaexecutable as a browser in the IDE and record and replay tests with it.

This completes the device-specific setup for Squish for Web! You can nowrecord and playback tests using the Squish IDE on the computer just as you can withstandard web testing; only now when recording, the actions all take placeon the device—and, of course, the playback also takes placeon the device.
At the time of publication, testing Browsers on devices had somelimitations compared with web testing on desktops. The most significant known limitations are:
Does not work with popup blockers when using a manually-started browser/proxy; popup blockers need to be disabled in the browser prior to testing.
Cannot use Screenshot Verification points with remote browsers (iphone/ipad browser testing), this is due to the screenshot code being purely C++ code in the webhook.
Complex Touch/Gesture events are currently not recognized/recorded/replayable with Safari on iOS. Simple tap interactions do work.
The HTTPS protocol is not supported.
Windows: Sometimes picking only works on the complete browser window and buttons; this can be fixed by renaming SQUISHDIRbinwinhook.dll.
Browser shows a ' session="" not="" correctly="" ended'="" dialog.="" this="" is="" due="" to="" the="" way="" we="" exit="" the="" browser;="" usually="" the="" browser="" has="" a="" setting="" to="" avoid="" the="">
Browser shows a progress indicator all the time. This is due to the way the internal communication with Squish/Web and the proxy works.
