Using Selenium RemoteWebDriver for an Enterprise Proxy

Question

How to connect to selenium grid, such as BrowserStack via RemoteWebDriver, due to corporate proxy?

Testing the application is outside the proxy and is freely available from the browser.

In this use of Selenium RemoteWebDriver behind a corporate proxy (Java) , the threading question asked the same question, but I could not follow the accepted answer.

Answer 1

I managed to get something to work based on the accepted answer in a stackoverflow related question, here is my implementation in case someone else is stuck in the same problem:

Example

import java.net.InetAddress; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.net.UnknownHostException; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import org.apache.http.HttpHost; import org.apache.http.auth.AuthScope; import org.apache.http.auth.NTCredentials; import org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials; import org.apache.http.client.CredentialsProvider; import org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCredentialsProvider; import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CommandInfo; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.HttpCommandExecutor; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.HttpClient.Factory; public class Example { public RemoteWebDriver connectViaProxy(DesiredCapabilities caps) { String proxyHost = "?"; int proxyPort = 8080; String proxyUserDomain = "?"; String proxyUser = "?"; String proxyPassword = "?"; URL url; try { url = new URL("http://bsuser: [e-mail] /wd/hub"); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage(), e); } HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClientBuilder.create(); HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort); CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider(); credsProvider.setCredentials(new AuthScope(proxyHost, proxyPort), new NTCredentials(proxyUser, proxyPassword, getWorkstation(), proxyUserDomain)); if (url.getUserInfo() != null && !url.getUserInfo().isEmpty()) { credsProvider.setCredentials(new AuthScope(url.getHost(), (url.getPort() > 0 ? url.getPort() : url.getDefaultPort())), new UsernamePasswordCredentials(url.getUserInfo())); } builder.setProxy(proxy); builder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider); Factory factory = new MyHttpClientFactory(builder); HttpCommandExecutor executor = new HttpCommandExecutor(new HashMap<String, CommandInfo>(), url, factory); return new RemoteWebDriver(executor, caps); } private String getWorkstation() { Map<String, String> env = System.getenv(); if (env.containsKey("COMPUTERNAME")) { // Windows return env.get("COMPUTERNAME"); } else if (env.containsKey("HOSTNAME")) { // Unix/Linux/MacOS return env.get("HOSTNAME"); } else { // From DNS try { return InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName(); } catch (UnknownHostException ex) { return "Unknown"; } } } } 

MyHttpClientFactory

 import java.net.URL; import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.internal.ApacheHttpClient; public class MyHttpClientFactory implements org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.HttpClient.Factory { final HttpClientBuilder builder; public MyHttpClientFactory(HttpClientBuilder builder) { this.builder = builder; } @Override public org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.HttpClient createClient(URL url) { return new ApacheHttpClient(builder.build(), url); } }
