Download into .hitchpkg directory and use a specified version of firefox

• In order to prevent errors caused by the selenium library being incompatible with versions of firefox newly upgraded by the system package manager.
• To allow for replication of bugs caused by specific versions of firefox.

Hi, I get the following error with the latest Hitch/Hitchselenium:

Did I miss any step?

No, this feature isn't finished yet so the system version of firefox is used by default. Unfortunately the latest version of selenium doesn't like the latest version of firefox.

If you downgrade the system firefox to the previous it it should work. Alternatively wait a few days and I will have a fix out (I will comment here when it's ready).

Awesome, let me know if I can help in this regard.

Hi,

I've finished the feature. You can activate it by upgrading to the latest version -- 0.5.4- like so::

hitch install hitchselenium

Then, changing the code and putting this in your set up somewhere::

firefox_package = hitchselenium.FirefoxPackage()
firefox_package.build()

And adding the parameter firefox_binary to the service, e.g. like so::

self.services['Firefox'] = hitchselenium.SeleniumService(
        xvfb=self.settings.get("xvfb", False) or self.settings.get("quiet", False),
        no_libfaketime=True,
        firefox_binary=firefox_package.firefox,
)

If that works (and especially if it doesn't!), it'd be awesome if you could drop a note here letting me know.

This ought to work both on Mac and Linux.

This worked for me - thanks.
