For setting the location of the Test Environment where the Tests are run, we just need to add a pair of Desired Capabilities in the Test Environment.

You should already know how to add Desired Capabilities to your Tests. See Desired Capabilities - Overview

##Setting Desired Capabilities in different Browsers

Google Chrome

Here are the Desired Capabilities you need to add in Test Environment to set the location for Chrome Browser:

Name Data Type Value
goog:chromeOptions String {"profile.default_content_setting_values.geolocation":1}
geolocation String 51.50735, -0.12776, 100

You need to keep the first-row item as it is. In the second row item, the three values correspond to the parameters latitude, longitude and altitude, respectively.

The given value i.e 51.50735, -0.12776, 100 is for 'Trafalgar Square, London'.

Similarly, the value for 'Central Park, NYC, USA' is 40.783840, -73.965550, 33

Firefox

Here are the Desired Capabilities you need to add in Test Environment to set the location for Firefox Browser:

Name Data Type Value
firefoxprofile String {
"geo.prompt.testing": true,
"geo.prompt.testing.allow": true,
"geo.enabled": true,
"geo.wifi.uri": "data:application/json, {
 \"location\": {
  \"lat\": 34.052235, \"lng\": -118.243683
  }, \"accuracy\": 100.0
 }"
}

The value in the location under geo.wifi.uri corresponds to the parameters latitude, longitude, and accuracy.

The given value i.e {"location": {"lat": 34.052235, "lng": -118.243683}, "accuracy": 100.0} is for the location 'Downtown, Los Angeles, California 90012, United States'.

Similarly, the value for the location 'Central Park, NYC, USA' will be {"location": {"lat": 40.783840, "lng": -73.965550}, "accuracy": 100.0}

[[info | NOTE:]] | Setting the Geolocation is not yet supported in IE and Safari

##Example websites to test current location

You can use https://www.mapcoordinates.net/en for the latitude and longitude information for your desired location, and https://mycurrentlocation.net/ to check current location.
