As one of my initial attempts at writing a Python script, I am working on running a test case on localhost hosted on an IIS server in a local environment. To achieve this, I have made the following adjustments:
- Changed Firefox Settings to 'No proxy'
- Configured and redirected the URL in IIS so that '127.0.0.1' directs to the website. This means entering 127.0.0.1 in the browser redirects to the local website in IIS
I encountered a geoLocation alert prompt that requires manual interaction. To automate this process, I took the following steps:
- Created a new Firefox profile
- Set its preferences to allow alerts for geoLocation services
- Set socks proxy to 127.0.0.1
- Set Desired Capabilities
The provided code snippet showcases how this was implemented:
class CheckGeoLocationsDropDown():
def test_check_geo_locations_dropdown(self):
try:
selenium_profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
# Setting up necessary preferences
selenium_profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks", '127.0.0.1')
selenium_profile.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_port", 80)
selenium_profile.update_preferences()
baseUrl = 'http://127.0.0.1:80'
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX.copy()
capabilities['platform'] ="WINDOWS"
capabilities['version'] = "7"
capabilities['nativeEvents'] = True
capabilities['unexpectedAlertBehaviour'] = 'Accept'
driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities=capabilities,
command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:80',
browser_profile=selenium_profile)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get(baseUrl)
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
driver.refresh()
driver.close()
item = '*'
print(item * 40 + 'Geo Locations Dropdown selected successfully' + item * 40)
except NoSuchElementException:
print("Couldn't Run Script")
ff = CheckGeoLocationsDropDown()
ff.test_check_geo_locations_dropdown()

Despite reviewing Python documents, I wasn't able to identify the issue. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
UPDATE 1/29/2018:
To handle geolocation permission request alerts, I included the preference
selenium_profile.set_preference('media.navigator.permission.disabled', True)I also added two lines as follows:
capabilities['nativeEvents'] = True
capabilities['unexpectedAlertBehaviour'] = 'Accept'
However, the error persists.
