As Geckodriver does not allow direct proxy settings, I will manually adjust it with the following code snippet:
from selenium import webdriver
myProxy = "xxxxxxxxx:yyyy"
ip, port = myProxy.split(":")
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('network.proxy_type', 5)
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.http', 'xxxxxxxxx')
profile.set_preference('network.proxy.http_port', yyyy)
profile.update_preferences()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
driver.get('http://www.google.co.th')
time.sleep(3)
driver.close()
After executing this code snippet, Firefox will be in proxy mode.
However, when running the script through Robot Framework, which also uses Geckodriver, the browser does not update to use the proxy as expected.
I am looking for a solution to permanently set the proxy in Geckodriver.
