What is this?

The idea is to collect a number of pre-configured Firefox profile templates for use with Selenium. That is, templates which:

• Are easy to enable
• Do not cause Selenium/Firefox to complain or behave oddly (e.g., no "New Add-on" popup at Firefox launch)
• Include additional Firefox extensions for use during test runs (e.g., Firebug)

Usage

This might get you going (given a Rails project):

$ cd $RAILS_ROOT # (you get the idea)
$ git submodule add git://github.com/coreyti/selenium-profiles.git ./vendor/selenium-profiles
$ ln -s ./vendor/selenium-profiles/firefox-3.0_A ./.firefox
$ selenium-rc -log ./log/selenium.log -firefoxProfileTemplate ./.firefox > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Enjoy a nice cup of Selenium with Firebug-enabled Firefox!

Note: If you are using selenium-rc and selenium-client gems and have experienced sqlite3 version conflicts on OS X 10.6.x, take a look at upgrading to:

• selenium-rc version 2.2.0
• selenium-client version 1.2.18

The issues seems to be fixed and no longer requires hacking your Firefox.app to remove libsqlite3.dylib (checked against Firefox 3.5.7). Of course, if you're using Webrat or similar, you're still out of luck... the current version has a hard-coded dependency on earlier selenium-rc.
