Pass in JAVA_OPTS Don't Work for Proxy

[stevenmccord]

I am utilizing the standalone-firefox-debug image as the base.

I am trying to set some options for selenium as well as some java options. The SE_OPTS fail hard and I can't start the container when I try to set a firefoxProfileTemplate and/or -log. In addition, I noticed that the JAVA_OPTS don't fail, but I don't see them proxying anything either, so not sure if they are just failing softly or I am just doing something wrong (which certainly could be the problem.)

Here are the environment variables being set in the Dockerfile:

ENV SE_OPTS="firefoxProfileTemplate /home/ubuntu/project/ac9xlz80.functional-tests -log /home/ubuntu/project/selenium.log"

ENV JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=[IP] -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyUser=[USER] -Dhttp.proxyPassword=[PWD]"

When I start with these options I get the following error:

Waiting xvfb...
-bash: /home/ubuntu/project/ac9xlz80.functional-tests: Is a directory
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...

When I start the container it get the following error if I just set the log solo:

Waiting xvfb...
-bash: /home/ubuntu/project/selenium.log: No such file or directory
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...
Waiting xvfb...

Here is what the environment variables look like in the selenium container

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
HOSTNAME=b547a8838768
TERM=xterm
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true

SCREEN_WIDTH=1360

SCREEN_DEPTH=24
DISPLAY=:99.0
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SE_OPTS=firefoxProfileTemplate /home/ubuntu/project/ac9xlz80.functional-tests -log /home/ubuntu/project/selenium.log
JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=[IP] -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyUser=[USER] -Dhttp.proxyPassword=[USER]
HOME=/root

More information here, it is happening here during the entry-point.sh script:

$(for E in $(grep -vxFf asseluser asroot); do echo $E=$(eval echo \$$E); done)

I think it has something to do with the fact that these options have a space in the environment variable so trying to update, but figured I would provide as much information as I can. Thanks!

Looks like I solved the profile issue that is solved by passing in this option:

-Dwebdriver.firefox.profile=functional-profile

However, I am still not understanding how to deal with an authenticated proxy, when I pass in those java options I still I am not able to proxy through anything, it actually doesn't do anything when I open up a mozilla browser, it is like the proxy didn't get set. Any help there would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

@stevenmccord, take a look at #207, there's a proposed fix there that might help.

@ondrej your fix works for me on the debug version, but not on standalone. ¿Do yo have configured correctly a standalone-firefox with proxy?

This was solved with #459, which was merged and released, this issue can be closed.
