My goal is to apply a proxy gateway (eg. geosurf.io) inside of the Selenium webdriver.
- I need to do it thru using DesiredCapabilities, since it seems DesiredCapabilities being the only way for plugging in proxy [gateway] (source).
- DesiredCapabilities functionality works at Selenium Grid (not just in a plain Selenium server). Selenium Grid docs.
I've successfully run Selenium Grid at a local Windows 10 machine.
So, I've composed the following code to apply DesiredCapabilities and proxy gateway for capabilities used in Selenium webdriver:
import requests from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities PROXY = "gw1.geosurf.io:8080" # my account at geosurf.io, port 8080 - Germany from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType proxy_object = Proxy() proxy_object.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL proxy_object.http_proxy = PROXY proxy_object.socks_proxy = PROXY proxy_object.ssl_proxy = PROXY keep_alive = True browser_profile=None webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX = { "class":"org.openqa.selenium.Proxy", "autodetect":False, "platform": "WIN10" } driver = webdriver.Remote("http://192.168.43.98:5566/grid/register", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX, browser_profile, proxy_object, keep_alive)
I've forced some output of what is inside of webdriver.py (C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py) when running the above code, in the __init__:
command_executor: http://192.168.43.98:5566/grid/register
capabilities:
{'autodetect': False,
'class': 'org.openqa.selenium.Proxy',
'platform': 'WIN10',
'proxy': {'httpProxy': 'gw1.geosurf.io:8080',
'proxyType': 'MANUAL',
'socksProxy': 'gw1.geosurf.io:8080',
'sslProxy': 'gw1.geosurf.io:8080'}}
Yet the problem turned to be in webdriver.py:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\User\Documents\RnD\captcha-test\test_geosurf_proxy_gateway.py", line 21, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://192.168.43.98:5566/grid/register", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX, browser_profile, proxy_object, keep_alive)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 99, in __init__
self.start_session(desired_capabilities, browser_profile)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 191, in start_session
self.session_id = response['sessionId']
TypeError: string indices must be integers
The error, TypeError: string indices must be integers, seems being not proxy gateway type, nor DesiredCapabilities's settings related.
When outputting at line 190, the response variable being a string, contaning html snippet:

How to resolve this webdriver.py issue?
Update
When further debugging webdriver.py I output response varible right after response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters):

Why doesn't it contain sessionId key-value ?
Update 2
My partial success was to run
`driver = webdriver.Remote("http://192.168.43.98:5566/wd/hub", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX, browser_profile, proxy_object, keep_alive)`
as the last line of the script. It has produced the following error:

changing proxy address to localhost:8080 has brought the same error...
Update 3
I've succesded to launch/open the node console manually at browser http://192.168.43.98:5566/wd/hub/static/resource/hub.html
Yet, the only session I could load was of Chrome browser
No success to load FireFox or IE 10 browser sessions as possible for this Grid:
I do not know if it's helpful of how to manage Grid nodes for external proxies plugging in.
