Change log

All notable changes to this program is documented in this file.

0.20.0 (2018-03-08)

Added

  • New --jsdebugger flag to open the Browser Toolbox when Firefox launches. This is useful for debugging Marionette internals.

  • Introduced the temporary, boolean capability moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin to disable the WebDriver conforming behavior of calculating the Pointer Origin.

Changed

  • HTTP status code for the StaleElementReference error changed from 400 (Bad Request) to 404 (Not Found).

  • Backtraces from geckodriver no longer substitute for missing Marionette stacktraces.

  • webdriver crate upgraded to 0.35.0.

Fixed

  • The Firefox process is now given ample time to shut down, allowing enough time for the Firefox shutdown hang monitor to kick in.

    Firefox has an integrated background monitor that observes long-running threads during shutdown. These threads will be killed after 63 seconds in the event of a hang. To allow Firefox to shut down these threads on its own, geckodriver has to wait that time and some additional seconds.

  • Grapheme clusters are now accepted as input for keyboard input to actions.

    Input to the value field of the keyDown and keyUp action primitives used to only accept single characters, which means geckodriver would error when a valid grapheme cluster was sent in, for example with the tamil nadu character U+0BA8 U+0BBF.

    Thanks to Greg Fraley for fixing this bug.

  • Improved error messages for malformed capability values.

0.19.1 (2017-10-30)

Changed

  • Search suggestions in the location bar turned off as not to trigger network connections

  • Block addons incompatible with E10s

Fixed

  • Marionette stacktraces are now correctly propagated

  • Some error messages have been clarified

Removed

  • Removed obsolete socksUsername and socksPassword proxy configuration keys because neither were picked up or recognised

0.19.0 (2017-09-16)

Note that with geckodriver 0.19.0 the following versions are recommended:

  • Firefox 55.0 (and greater)
  • Selenium 3.5 (and greater)

Added

  • Added endpoint:

    • POST /session/{session id}/window/minimize for the Minimize Window command

  • Added preference extensions.shield-recipe-client.api_url to disable shield studies which could unexpectedly change the behavior of Firefox

  • Introduced the temporary, boolean capability moz:webdriverClick to enable the WebDriver conforming behavior of the Element Click command

  • Added crashreporter environment variables to better control the browser in case of crashes

  • Added preference dom.file.createInChild set to true to allow file object creation in content processes

Changed

  • Log all used application arguments and not only -marionette

  • Early abort connection attempts to Marionette if the Firefox process closed unexpectetly

  • Removed deprecated socksProxyVersion in favor of socksVersion

  • Removed ftpProxyPort, httpProxyPort, sslProxyPort, and socksProxyPort because ports have to be set for ftpProxy, httpProxy, sslProxy, and socksProxy using ":"

  • The proxyType noproxy has been replaced with direct in accordance with recent WebDriver specification changes

  • The WindowRectParameters have been updated to return signed 32-bit integers in accordance with the CSS and WebDriver specifications, and to be more liberal with the input types

  • Mapped the FullscreenWindow to the correct Marionette command

  • To make sure no browser process is left behind when the NewSession fails, the process is closed immediately now

  • /moz/addon/install command accepts an addon parameter, in lieu of path, containing an addon as a Base64 string (fixed by Jason Juang)

  • webdriver crate upgraded to version 0.31.0

  • mozrunner crate upgraded to version 0.5.0

Removed

  • Removed the following obsolete preferences for Firefox:

    • marionette.logging

0.18.0 (2017-07-10)

Changed

  • RectResponse permits returning floats for width and height fields

  • New type CookieResponse for the GetNamedCookie command returns a single cookie, as opposed to an array of a single cookie

  • To pick up a prepared profile from the filesystem, it is now possible to pass ["-profile", "/path/to/profile"] in the args array on moz:firefoxOptions

  • geckodriver now recommends Firefox 53 and greater

  • Version information (--version) contains the hash from from the commit used to build geckodriver

  • geckodriver version logged on startup

  • webdriver crate upgraded to version 0.27.0

  • mozrunner crate upgraded to version 0.4.1

Fixed

  • The SetTimeouts command maps to the Marionette setTimeouts command, which makes geckodriver compatible with Firefox 56 and greater

  • Linux x86 (i686-unknown-linux-musl) builds are fixed

0.17.0 (2017-06-09)

Added

  • Added endpoints:
    • POST /session/{session id}/window/fullscreen to invoke the window manager-specific full screen operation
    • POST /session/{session id}/moz/addon/install to install an extension (Gecko only)
    • POST /session/{session id}/moz/addon/uninstall to uninstall an extension (Gecko only)

Changed

  • Increasing the length of the network.http.phishy-userpass-length preference will cause Firefox to not prompt when navigating to a website with a username or password in the URL

  • Library dependencies upgraded to mozrunner 0.4 and mozprofile 0.3 to allow overriding of preferences via capabilities if those have been already set in the profile

  • Library dependencies upgraded to mozversion 0.1.2 to only use the normalized path of the Firefox binary for version checks but not to actually start the browser, which broke several components in Firefox on Windows

Fixed

  • The [SetWindowRect] command now returns the [WindowRectResponse] when it is done

  • Use ASCII versions of array symbols to properly display them in the Windows command prompt

  • Use SessionNotCreated error instead of UnknownError if there is no current session

  • Session is now ended when closing the last Firefox window (fixes #613)

Note that geckodriver v0.16.0 is only compatible with Selenium 3.4 and greater.

Added

Removed

  • Removed following list of unused endpoints:

  • CookieResponse and CloseWindowResponse fixed to be properly wrapped in a value field, like other responses

  • Allow negative numbers for x and y fields in pointerMove action

  • Disable Flash and the plugin container in Firefox by default, which should help mitigate the “Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped wroking” problems many users were reporting when deleting a session

  • Preferences passed in a profile now take precedence over set of default preferences defined by geckodriver (fixed by Marc Fisher)

    • The exceptions are the marionette.port and marionette.log.level preferences and their fallbacks, which are set unconditionally and cannot be overriden

  • Remove default preference that disables unsafe CPOW checks

  • WebDriver library updated to 0.25.2

Fixed

0.15.0 (2017-03-08)

Added

Changed

  • All HTTP responses are now wrapped in {value: …} objects per the WebDriver specification; this may likely require you to update your client library

  • Pointer move action’s element key changed to origin, which lets pointer actions originate within the context of the viewport, the pointer’s current position, or from an element

  • Now uses about:blank as the new tab document; this was previously disabled due to bug 1333736 in Marionette

  • WebDriver libary updated to 0.23.0

Fixed

  • Aligned the data structure accepted by the Set Timeouts command with the WebDriver specification

0.14.0 (2017-01-31)

  • WebDriver library updated to version 0.18.0

Fixed

  • Check for single-character key codes in action sequences now counts characters instead of bytes

0.12.0 (2017-01-03)

Added

  • Added Take Element Screenshot command

Changed

  • Default log level for debug builds of Firefox, which used to be DEBUG, changed to INFO-level

  • Introduced a moz:firefoxOptions capability to customise a Firefox session:

    • The binary, args, and profile entries on this dictionary is equivalent to the old firefox_binary, firefox_args, and firefox_profile capabilities, which have now all been removed

    • The log capability takes a dictionary such as {log: "trace"} to enable trace level verbosity in Gecko

    • The prefs capability lets you define Firefox preferences through capabilities

  • Re-introduced the --webdriver-port argument as a hidden alias to --port

Changed

  • firefox_binary, firefox_args, and firefox_profile capabilities removed in favour of the moz:firefoxOptions dictionary detailed above and in the README

  • Removed --no-e10s flag, and geckodriver will from now rely on the Firefox default multiprocessing settings (override using preferences)

  • Disable pop-up blocker in the default profile by @juangj
