Set up your browsers to enable the relevant Micro Focus UFT Agent extension, so that UFT Developer can identify objects in your browsers.

Additionally, ChromeDriver is a standalone server that interacts with Selenium WebDriver to execute all selenium tests on the Chrome browser. Moreover, ChromeDriver provides executable specific to each platform, such as Windows, macOS, etc., which can be downloaded and used for execution on Selenium tests on the Chrome browser. Resolved issue 3370: Shut down Chrome gracefully or cookie will not be correctly saved to SQLite persistence file; Resolved issue 3401: Get Element Location JS does not locate the visible center of the element; Resolved issue 3462: For sendKeys, CMD key don't work for MAC; Resolved issue 3541: Improve log between Client and ChromeDriver.

Note: If you have the Functional Testing Agent browser extension installed, you may need to manually remove this extension before enabling its new version, the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension. When you complete the set up, make sure you have only the latest extension installed.

If you want to test a non-Web application that contains a browser control, you must also register the browser control.

Set up Google Chrome for UFT Developer

The first time you launch Chrome after installing UFT Developer, you are prompted to enable the Micro Focus UFT Agent Powerpoint themes free download 2018. extension. Click Enable.

If the extension was not automatically installed:

  1. In the Chrome menu, select More Tools > Extensions.

  2. Drag the agent.crx file from:

    Windows <UFT Developer installation>InstallationsChrome
    Linux / Mac <UFT Developer installation>/Installations/Chrome

    to the Extensions page, and click Add.

  3. Make sure the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension is enabled.

    to the Firefox Extension page.

  3. When prompted, click Install Now.
  4. Restart Firefox.

  5. When finished, make sure the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension is enabled.

Set up Internet Explorer for UFT Developer (Windows only)

  1. If you are prompted to enable the Micro Focus UFT Agent when you open Internet Explorer for the first time after you install UFT Developer, click Enable.

    Otherwise, in Internet Explorer, select Tools > Manage add-ons.

  2. In the Manage Add-ons window, make sure the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension is enabled.

Set up Microsoft Edge for UFT Developer (Windows only)

UFT Developer communicates with the Edge Agent for Functional Testing to test Web applications running in Edge browsers. This extension is part of the UFT Developer installation.

In order to ensure UFT Developer communicates with Microsoft Edge via the Agent, you must ensure that the Microsoft WebDriver is present in the UFT Developer installation folder:

  1. From the Microsoft WebDriver page, download the correct version of the WebDriver for your Microsoft Edge version.

    Recommended: Update the WebDriver version after performing Windows 10 updates, because Edge requires specific WebDriver versions for each Edge version.

  2. Copy the downloaded WebDriver.exe file to the <UFT Developer installation>bin folder, and rename it MicrosoftWebDriver.exe.

  3. Open an Edge browser session together with Edge Agent for Functional Testing. You can do this in one of the following ways:

    • From the Start Menu: Edge Agent for Functional Testing.

      For example, you would start Edge this way if you are working with the Object Identification Center (OIC) for Edge.

    • A BrowserFactory.Launch(BrowserType.Edge); statement.

    Note:

    • UFT Developer cannot work with a session of Edge that was not opened with Edge Agent for Functional Testing.
    • For UFT Developer to work with the Edge browser, UAC must be enabled.

After your browsers are set up with the required extensions:

  • If the UFT Developer runtime engine or the OIC is open at the time you enable the agent for a browser, close and restart the UFT Developer runtime engine after the browsers are configured.
  • When you use UFT Developer to test Web applications, open your browser only after the UFT Developer runtime engine is active. UFT Developer does not recognize objects in browsers that were opened before the runtime engine.

Set up PhantomJS for UFT Developer

Webdriver chrome path

To work with PhantomJS, you must install it in a specific location with a specific executable name:

Windows<UFT Developer installation folder>binPhantomJSPhantomJS.exe
Linux/opt/uftdeveloper/bin/PhantomJS/

PhantomJS_Linux32

PhantomJS_Linux64

Mac/Applications/UFTDeveloper/bin/PhantomJSphantomjs_mac

Maintain headless Chrome's setup for UFT Developer

By default, UFT Developer provides the ChromeDriver file that you need to work with headless Chrome. Over time, update this file to make sure that you are using a version that supports your Chrome version.

To find the ChromeDriver version provided by UFT Developer, see the Product Availability Matrix. To check which Chrome versions this ChromeDriver supports, see http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads. When required, download the new version of the chromedriver binary file from this site and replace the one UFT Developer is using in the following location:

Webdriver
Windows<UFT Developer installation folder>binWebDriverchromedriver.exe
Linux/opt/uftdeveloper/bin/WebDriver/

chromedriver

Mac/Applications/UFTDeveloper/bin/WebDriver/chromedriver

Set up Safari (Mac only) for UFT Developer

Install the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension for Safari.

Safari 10-11:

Install the agent extension in one of the following ways:

GUI

  1. In <UFT Developer installation>/Installations/Safari, double-click the Agent.safariextz

  2. When prompted, click Trust.
Terminal

Run the following command:

open –a safari /Library/Application Support/LeanFT/Agent.safariextz

When finished, make sure the Micro Focus UFT Agent extension is enabled.

Install the agent extension as follows:

  1. In <UFT Developer installation>/Installations/Safari, locate the Agent.safariextz file and unzip it.

  2. From the unzipped content, copy the SafariUFT.safariextension folder.

  3. In Safari, enable the Develop menu. For details, see the Safari online help.

  4. In the Safari Develop menu, select Show Extension Builder > Add and add the SafariUFT.safariextension that you copied.

  5. Run the agent.

    Note: Each time you open the Safari browser, you need to manually run the agent from Develop > Show Extension Builder.

Register Internet-Explorer-based embedded browser controls (Windows only)

If you have a non-Web application that hosts a browser control, you must register the control so that the UFT Developer runtime engine can recognize the objects inside as Web objects.

You must register the browser control with UFT Developer on any computer where you want to run your tests or use the OIC.

You register the control using the Register Browser Control Utility.

Chrome Driver For Selenium Webdriver

Note: This utility supports browser controls that are based on the Internet Explorer engine .

  1. Make sure UAC is disabled while using the utility or run the utility executable using Run As Admin.

  2. Use the Register Browser Control Utility in one of the following ways:

    • Run <UFT Developer installation folder>binSettingNewBrowserControlApplication.exe.

      Enter the path of the application containing the browser control and click Register.

    • Open a command window and run:

      <UFT Developer installation folder>binSettingNewBrowserControlApplication.exe/register '<pathbrowser-host-application.exe>'

      To unregister the browser control, replace register in the command with unregister.

  3. Restart the UFT Developer runtime engine.

If needed, you can run this utility again at a later time to unregister the browser control. (In the command line, replace register with unregister).

Working with Chromium-based embedded browser controls (Window only)

If you have a Desktop application that hosts a Chromium-based browser control, set up a connection between UFT Developer and the embedded browser so that UFT Developer can recognize objects in the browser. Chromium-based browser controls include, for example, JX browser, EO browser, and Electron.

Set up the connection between UFT Developer and the embedded browser

  1. Configure your embedded browser to always open a port for remote debugging. Note the port number.

    Check your embedded browser's documentation for instructions on how to do this.

  2. Connect UFT Developer to the embedded browser:

    To enable designing tests

    1. On a computer where you want to use the OIC or Test Recorder, open your IDE and select UFT Developer > Tools > Embedded Browser Connection.
    2. At the Embedded Browser Connection's prompt, enter the remote debugging port number and press ENTER. The tool sets up a connection between UFT Developer and the embedded browser, using the port you specified.

    You can run the Embedded Browser Connection multiple times on the same computer to connect UFT Developer to multiple embedded browsers.

    Whenever you restart the UFT Developer run time engine, you must reconnect UFT Developer to the embedded browser again.

    To enable running test steps

    In your test, before any steps on the objects in the browser, add a BrowserFactory.Attach step (in JavaScript, Browser.attach) that connects UFT Developer to the embedded browser. In the method's browser description parameter, provide a remoteDebuggerAddress capability that specifies the address and port number for remote debugging.

    C#
    Java
    JavaScript

    For details on the Attach method, see the .NET, Java, and JavaScript SDK References.

Check your ChromeDriver version

Webdriver chrome path

Google Chrome Download For Mac

Make sure that the ChromeDriver file UFT Developer is using supports the Chromium version of your embedded browser control.

  1. Check which Chromium version your embedded browser is based on.
  2. At http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads, check which ChromeDriver versions support your embedded browser's Chromium version.
  3. In the Product Availability Matrix, find the ChromeDriver version provided by UFT Developer.

If required, download the necessary version of the chromedriver binary file from http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads and replace the one UFT Developer is using here: <UFT Developer installation folder>binWebDriverchromedriver.exe

Version Selection

We maintain multiple versions of ChromeDriver. Which version to select depends on the version of Chrome you are using it with. Specifically:
  • ChromeDriver uses the same version number scheme as Chrome. See https://www.chromium.org/developers/version-numbers for more details.
  • Each version of ChromeDriver supports Chrome with matching major, minor, and build version numbers. For example, ChromeDriver 73.0.3683.20 supports all Chrome versions that start with 73.0.3683.
  • Before a new major version of Chrome goes to Beta, a matching version of ChromeDriver will be released.
  • After the initial release of a new major version, we will release patches as needed. These patches may or may not coincide with updates to Chrome.
Here are the steps to select the version of ChromeDriver to download:
  • First, find out which version of Chrome you are using. Let's say you have Chrome 72.0.3626.81.
  • Take the Chrome version number, remove the last part, and append the result to URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_'. For example, with Chrome version 72.0.3626.81, you'd get a URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_72.0.3626'.
  • Use the URL created in the last step to retrieve a small file containing the version of ChromeDriver to use. For example, the above URL will get your a file containing '72.0.3626.69'. (The actual number may change in the future, of course.)
  • Use the version number retrieved from the previous step to construct the URL to download ChromeDriver. With version 72.0.3626.69, the URL would be 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=72.0.3626.69/'.
  • After the initial download, it is recommended that you occasionally go through the above process again to see if there are any bug fix releases.
We always provide ChromeDriver for the current Stable and Beta versions of Chrome. However, if you use Chrome from Dev or Canary channel, or build your own custom version of Chrome, It is possible that there is no available ChromeDriver that officially supports it. In this case, please try the following:
  • First, construct a LATEST_RELEASE URL using Chrome's major version number. For example, with Chrome version 73.0.3683.86, use URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_73'. Try to download a small file from this URL. If it successful, the file contains the ChromeDriver version to use.
  • If the above step failed, reduce the Chrome major version by 1 and try again. For example, with Chrome version 75.0.3745.4, use URL 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_74' to download a small file, which contains the ChromeDriver version to use.
  • You can also use ChromeDriver Canary build.
In addition, the version of ChromeDriver for the current stable release of Chrome can be found at https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE. However, using on this file may be less reliable than methods described above.
