• firefoxOptions (Optional) - A comma-separated list of Firefox browser options, for example, "-private"

Configuration Examples

Global Path to Geckodriver on an Ubuntu Operating System Example

Selenium = {
    firefoxPath = "/home/User/webdrivers/GeckoDriver"
    firefoxOptions = ["-private"]
}

Windows with ChromeDriver Example As shown in the example below, the ChromeDriver's file path is set with forward slash characters. The associated global Windows folder path evaluates to C:\QiTASC\webdrivers\.

Selenium = {
    chromePath = "/QitASC/webdrivers/chromedriver.exe"
    chromeOptions = ["incognito", "start-maximized"]
}

Note: If using a Windows machine, the global path can be defined by using double back slash characters, for example, firefoxPath : "C:\\QitASC\\webdrivers\\GeckoDriver.exe". This procedure is not recommended by intaQt.

Mac OS with GeckoDriver and ChromeDriver Example

Selenium = {
    firefoxPath = "/Users/testteam/QiTASC/GeckoDriver"
    firefoxOptions = ["-private"]
    chromePath = "/Users/testteam/QiTASC/chromedriver"
    chromeOptions = ["incognito", "start-maximized"]
}

Error Messages

Note: If an incorrect path is in the Selenium configuration file, intaQt will not start and an error message will be created in the QiTASC/intaqt/logs/intaqt.log file.
