setting no_proxy environment variable

Hi, 

I am running a Protractor setup (wraps webdriverjs and phantomjs to run jasmine tests).
 The issue I have is that I want to test my site in the QA environment (unreachable
via the proxy) but I need to have a proxy set to connect to external integration points.

I added my qa site to a host file on the machine, if I ping the site without setting
a proxy I get the IP specified in the host file, Great.

However my external integration points wont resolve until I set the proxy, at which
point my hostfile is over-ridden.

I have tried to set the no_proxy env variable as below, but I cant get it to work:


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.add domain "something.something.co.uk" to the env variables by doing the following
- 

export no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,.something.something.co.uk

I have also tried - 

export no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,*something.something.co.uk
export no_proxy=127.0.0.1,localhost,something.something.co.uk
export no_proxy="127.0.0.1,localhost,.something.something.co.uk"
and the same with caps for the NO_PROXY part

2. None of the above have worked for me, is this a simple syntax issue or does webdriver
not support the system no_proxy variable


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My test is still going to the HTTP_PROXY for the page I want to hit internally (which
resolves the live site)

Hi

I have read the docs but they appear to be for Java versions.  I am using Protractor
and selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0 which uses java script.  I dont think the doc
covers how to setup a capability in js.

Yeah, I am not sure that this getting started guide covers anything to do with Proxies.
 I assume that by posting these links you are saying that the system environment variables
wont work?  And that I am going to have to add this in as a capability somehow?

Yes, you have to use capabilities to configure proxy settings in the browser driven
by selenium.

Ok, I added the following to the capabilities section:

      'proxy': {
          'proxyType': 'manual',
          'httpProxy': 'http://proxy.blah.co.uk:8080'
          'httpsProxy': 'http://proxy.blah.co.uk:8080'
          'noProxy': 'blah.blah.co.uk,*blah.blah.co.uk,.blah.blah.co.uk'
      }
  },

The proxy setting is being picked up but still the noProxy isn't kicking in (the tests
are still resolving the address via the proxy and hitting the live site).

So just to be clear, I have tried to export no_proxy as an environment variable, and
also tried adding in the noProxy capability yet none of them are getting picked up.

Regards,
Craig.

It seems to need more docs :)

Does phantomjs normally respect the no_proxy environment variable?

Right now phantomjs just inherits its env from the parent node process, so we probably
need to override that variable.
