Starting selenoid video recording from python not working

Question

Starting selenoid video recording from python not working

dothebart opened this issue a year ago · 5 comments

I added the environment variable and the argument and the mountpoint to the selenoid docker container.

From within my python test code I'm invoking on the options object:

options.set_capability('enableVideo', True)

It seems that it does something to that regard:

docker logs selenoid -f

however from then in the python code it ejects:

any ideas what I'm not doing right here?

Answer 1 · 2024-01-12T13:41:10.000Z

ok, it seems the example generation in
docker run --rm -d --name selenoid-ui --link selenoid -p 8090:8080 aerokube/selenoid-ui --selenoid-uri=http://selenoid:4444
tells to do this:

from selenium import webdriver
        
capabilities = {
    "browserName": "chrome",
    "browserVersion": "latest",
    "selenoid:options": {
        "enableVideo": False
    }
}

driver = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor="http://172.17.0.3:4444/wd/hub",
    desired_capabilities=capabilities)

but that code results in:

Python 3.10.10 (main, Jan 11 2024, 10:33:12) [GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from selenium import webdriver
oid:options": {
        "enableVideo": False
    }
}

driver = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor="http://172.17.0.3:4444/wd/hub",
    desired_capabilities=capabilities)
>>>         
>>> capabilities = {
...     "browserName": "chrome",
...     "browserVersion": "latest",
...     "selenoid:options": {
...         "enableVideo": False
...     }
... }
>>> 
>>> driver = webdriver.Remote(
...     command_executor="http://172.17.0.3:4444/wd/hub",
...     desired_capabilities=capabilities)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'desired_capabilities'
>>>

so something is not right here. Tried with python 3.10 (screen dump above) and 3.11.7 with latest selenium - similar results.

Answer 2 · 2024-01-12T15:02:44.000Z

Ok, the magic spell to make it work seems to be nowadays:

options = webdriver.chrome.options.Options()
options.set_capability('selenoid:options', { 'enableVideo', True})

driver = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor="http://172.17.0.3:4444/wd/hub",
    options=options)

Please adjust the example generating code and maybe add it somewhere better in the documentation.

We have plans to update UI code snippets.

Answer 4 · 2024-01-15T15:34:51.000Z

thanks - please also refer to this in the documentation. since it took me quiet a while to figure out this container even existed.
