Browsermob doesn't intercept anything with Sauce Labs through Sauce Connect - java

I'm trying to switch from Browserstack to Sauce Labs (the former spawns a zombie process in docker which hangs up the whole container). And while everything seems to connect and listen to ports, the HAR is null.
My setup is straightforward: on the machine that's running the tests I launch both BMP and SC from my code. Then my test fires up a remote WebDriver which opens a web page (I use here Google just as an example). Then, this internet connection should be proxied through BMP so that I could capture all the analytics.
In my experience with BrowserStack that worked. However, in the very same setup with Sauce Labs, I don't get anything intercepted.
#BeforeClass
public void SetUp() {
SauceConnectFourManager = new SauceConnectFourManager(true);
browserMobProxyServer = new BrowserMobProxyServer();
browserMobProxyServer.setTrustAllServers(true);
browserMobProxyServer.start(9191);
browserMobProxyServer.enableHarCaptureTypes(CaptureType.REQUEST_CONTENT, CaptureType.RESPONSE_CONTENT);
try {
SauceConnectFourManager.openConnection(username, key,4445,
null, "-v --pac file://" + filePath,
null, false, null);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
caps.setCapability("platform", "Windows 10");
caps.setCapability("version", "latest");
String url = "https://" + username + ":" + key + "#ondemand.saucelabs.com:443/wd/hub";
try {
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(url), caps);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Test
public void TestShouldPass() {
/**

driver.get("https://google.com");
System.out.println("title of page is: " + driver.getTitle());
}

SauceConnectFourManager.closeTunnelsForPlan(username, null, null);
//har is null here!

FTPClient connection with Java on AWS Virtual Machine

I'm trying to connect to my FTP server in Java SE 1.8. To do so I use this method :
private void connectFTP() {
String server = "ftp.XXXXXXXXXX.site";
int port = 21;
String user = "XXXX";
String pass = "XXXX";
if(!ftpConnexionSuccess.get())
{
client = new FTPClient();
client.configure(new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX));
try {
client.connect(server, port);
ftpConnexionSuccess.set(client.login(user, pass));
if (!ftpConnexionSuccess.get()) {
System.out.println("Could not login to the server");
return;
}
else
{
System.out.println("LOGGED IN SERVER");
client.changeWorkingDirectory("/crypto");
listenedFile = getListenedFile();
System.out.println(listenedFile.getName());
if(listenedFile != null)
{
baseFileTimeStamp.set(listenedFile.getTimestamp().getTimeInMillis());
}
System.out.println(baseFileTimeStamp);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.err.println("FTP connection error : Sleeping for 5 seconds before trying again (" + ex.getMessage() + ")");
ex.printStackTrace();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
try {
client.disconnect();
} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
connectFTP();
}
}
}
It works great when I'm on Eclipse and when I export the app on my Windows 10.
Nonetheless, when I try to launch the app on my AWS Webmachine I get a null pointer exception at "listenedFile". The method to listen to this file is the one below.
private FTPFile getListenedFile() {
FTPFile returnedFile = null;
try {
for(FTPFile file : client.listFiles())
{
if(file.getName().contains("filetolisten.txt"))
returnedFile = file;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
try {
client.disconnect();
} catch (IOException e1) {e1.printStackTrace();}
connectFTP();
return getListenedFile();
}
return returnedFile;
}
I thought it was because of the line
client.configure(new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX));
I tried to delete the line, and to replace SYST_UNIX with SYST_NT, but nothing worked.

Testing different scenarios using one browser instance in java, selenium, cucumber and JUnit runner

There is an application am working on where the process of logging in takes far too long, am looking for a way of executing all scenarios and multiple features with one chrome driver instance.
Here is my hooks code
#Before(order = 0)
public void launchbrowser() {
reader = new ConfigFileReader();
pro = reader.ConfigFile();
try {
BaseClass.setUp();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#After
public void tearDown(Scenario scenario) {
File destPath;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy_hh.mm.ss");
Date curDate = new Date(); String strDate = sdf.format(curDate);
File screenshot_with_scenario_name = (((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE));
if(scenario.isFailed())
{
destPath=new File("./test-output/Screenshots/Failed/" + scenario.getName()+ strDate + ".png");
}
else{
destPath=new File("./test-output/Screenshots/Passed/" + scenario.getName()+ strDate + ".png");
}
try {
FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot_with_scenario_name,destPath);
} catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
BaseClass.Closebrowser();
}
And here is Baseclass where driver is setup
public static void setUp() throws Exception {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(10));
jse = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
}
#Maxwell Maragia you can try using global hooks #BeforeAll and #AfterAll. You can find the details here https://cucumber.io/docs/cucumber/api/?lang=java

Capturing full screen shot of webpage content using selenium 3 webdriver

i am trying to take a full content screen shot of web page . but i am only getting view based screen shot with following code. browser is firefox i am using SELENIUM 3 web driver.
File scrFile5 = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
try {
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile5, new File("C:\\test.jpg"));
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
how i can achieve the same.
You may want to make use of RemoteWebDriver interface. Are you working with Firefox or IE? See below
File screenshotFile = null;
try {
// This checks to make sure we're not running an
// incompatible driver to take a screenshot (e.g.
// screenshots are not supported by the HtmlUnitDriver)
//the following line will throw a ClassCastException if the current driver is not a browser typed driver
RemoteWebDriver compatibleDriver = (RemoteWebDriver) driver;
screenshotFile = ((TakesScreenshot) compatibleDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
//this driver does not support screenshots.
// this should get logged as a warning -- this only means the driver cannot be of type RemoteWebDriver
} finally {
if (screenshotFile == null) {
System.out.println("This WebDriver does not support screenshots");
return; //get us outa here
}
}
try {
String pathString = "some path of your choice"
File path = new File(pathString);
if (!path.exists())
path.mkdirs();
stringPath.concat("/someFileName.png");
File newFileLocation = new File(pathString);
System.out.println("Full path to screenshot: " + newFileLocation.getAbsolutePath());
FileUtils.copyFile(screenshotFile, newFileLocation);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
It's an old problem with Selenium browser drivers.

Java capturing telnet output in file

I am trying to telnet to a server, run a command and put the output of that command in a file.
I can get the command in the file but not the result of this command.
I cannot see my output on my console either, so I assumed it run but I am not sure.
Does anybody have any idea?
public final static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException
{
FileOutputStream fout = null;
try
{
fout = new FileOutputStream ("spyfile.log");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.err.println(
"Exception while opening the spy file: "
+ e.getMessage());
}
TelnetClient telnet;
telnet = new TelnetClient();
try
{
telnet.connect("myserver", 23);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
telnet.registerSpyStream(fout);
PrintStream out = new PrintStream( telnet.getOutputStream() );
out.println( "mycommand" );
try
{
telnet.disconnect();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
fout.close();
System.exit(0);
}
I am not sure what is TelneClient, if this is Commons Net class, then you are missing the part that actually reads data exchanged during telnet session. Please run this example and see how it works, once you get it you'll be able to cut it to your needs.

establishing communication between Java desktop app and Java browser applet via sockets

I'm new to network I/O programming, and I've run into a snag-- basically what I want to do is have a desktop app talk to the google maps javascript API. In order to facilitate this, I have built a java applet which will act as a bridge between the desktop app and the browser javascript app. When I run the desktop app and applet together in Eclipse they can communicate perfectly, and I am able to invoke applet functions by writing strings to a Socket bound to the same port the applet has established a ServerSocket connection with. For testing purposes in Eclipse, I send the string "sendJSAlertTest" to the socket's outputstream, then derive a Method instance using the java.lang.reflect API from the ServerSocket inputstream, and then finally invoke the resulting method in the applet. When the applet is running in a browser I write "sendJSAlert" to the socket instead since it leads to the actual invocation of javascript. The result in Eclipse using the appletviewer is that the desktop application context prints the output "awesome sendJSAlert" and the applet context prints the output from the sendJSAlertTest() method, "Hello Client, I'm a Server!". The result of passing "sendJSAlert" to the applet running in the browser is that the desktop application prints null, suggesting that for some reason the inputstream of the ServerSocket is empty, and the browser itself does nothing when it should generate a javascript alert box with the text "Hello Client, I'm a Server!". The browser I'm using is Google Chrome, and for the moment I am simply running everything on the local machine (e.g. no remote server involved yet)

In the webapp, I fill in the args input with a valid port number on the local machine and press the Test Socket Connection button which invokes the sockPuppet() javascript. This should create a ServerSocket and bind it to the specified port, which I then separately connect my desktop client app to via SocketClient.listenSocket. The result from Eclipse in the desktop app context is "awesome sendJSAlertTest" and in the appletviewer context is the output "sendJSAlert remotely invoked, with message: Hello Client, I'm a Server!". The webapp, invoking sendJSAlert(), should call the javascript alert function on the same message, creating a popup box with the message "sendJSAlert remotely invoked, with message: Hello Client, I'm a Server!" but instead nothing happens in the browser (nor the Chrome java or javascript debug consoles), and the desktop app output is null instead of "awesome sendJSAlert" as expected
So the question: What might be the cause of the different results? I know the browser's security sandbox could be an issue, but I've included a permissions file which should allow communication via sockets on any localhost port:
grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission
"localhost:1024-",
"accept, connect, listen, resolve";
};
It's certainly possible though that I have not applied the permissions properly (I used the sun policytool gui); what exactly needs to be done in the applet code (if anything) to apply the permissions? Could a security problem result in the lack of response I'm seeing? I'd expect an exception to be reported in Chrome's java debug console, but there weren't any...
any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
-CCJ
UPDATE:
Okay, some new information: I ran the applet again in Chrome with the javascript console open (could have sworn I tried this before without effect, but evidently not) and received the following console output--
"Uncaught Error: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
("java.net.SocketPermission" "<myipaddress>:4218" "accept,resolve") MapVizApp.html:154
sockPuppet MapVizApp.html:154 onclick MapVizApp.html:179 Uncaught Error: Error
calling method on NPObject. sockPuppet onclick "
So the question now is why am I tripping this security exception? The policy file with the permissions given above is in the same working directory as the html page and the jar file containing the applet, and I added the following to my system's JRE security policy file
//Grants my NetComm applet the ability to accept, connect, and listen on unpriv. ports
grant codeBase "file:${user.home}\Desktop\dev\invention\ATT\MapViz\CCM.jar" {
permission java.net.SocketPermission
"localhost:1024-",
"accept, connect, listen, resolve";
};
I haven't yet signed the applet, but it was my understanding that if the policy files are in order an applet doesn't need to be signed... if I'm wrong on that please let me know. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions as to why this security exception is being thrown despite the policy files having the above granted permissions? Is there a naming convention for policy files in working directories that the JRE looks for? My working directory policy file for now is just named ccmPolFile, but I'm not clear on how the JRE is supposed to locate it; is there something I need to add to the applet code to point the JRE at the intended working directory policy file? Further, shouldn't the system policy file grant that I added be enough by itself to satisfy socket permissions for my applet inside CCM.jar?
UPDATE 2:
I signed the applet and added the line policy.url.3=file:${user.home}\Desktop\dev\invention\ATT\MapViz\ccmPolFile.policy to my java.security file in ${java.home}/lib/security (via http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/security/tour2/step4.html#Approach2 this is apparently how the JRE locates policy files to load)... sadly, the result is exactly the same security exception. The only thing left that I know of is
AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
public Object run() {
// perform the security-sensitive operation here
return null;
}
});
which should let me do almost anything since the applet is now signed. I wanted to keep signing out of the equation, but policy files aren't working for some reason. I'll be back shortly with how that works out
righto, so following my update 2 above, I change the listenSocket() method in SocketServer.java code to
public void listenSocket(int portNum){
AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() {
public Object run() {
int portNum = 4444;
try{
System.out.println("#server Trying to create socket bound to port " + portNum);
server = new ServerSocket(portNum);
System.out.println("the attached socket port is " + server.getLocalPort());
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Could not listen on port " + portNum);
System.exit(-1);
}
try{
client = server.accept();
System.out.println("Connection accepted!");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Accept failed: " + portNum);
System.exit(-1);
}
try{
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
out = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Accept failed: " + portNum);
System.exit(-1);
}
while(portNum==4444){
try{
System.out.println("trying to read from inputstream...");
line = in.readLine();
System.out.println(line);
//Now that we have a method name, invoke it
try {
serverMethod = hNet.getClass().getDeclaredMethod(line,
String.class);
} catch (SecurityException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
serverMethod.invoke(hNet, "Hello from Javascript invoked by the
desktop app!");
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Send data back to client
out.println("awesome " + line);
//System.out.println(line);
//System.out.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Read failed");
System.out.flush();
System.exit(-1);
}
}
return null;
}
});//end doPrivileged
}
obviously this is an unsafe kludge, but it does the trick-- I receive no security exception, and the desktop app prints "awesome sendJSAlert" so I know IO is working between the client and server contexts via sockets. The actual js alert function didn't fire, but I think that has something to do with the horrid infinite while loop in listenSocket() above...
Take home message: for some reason, to establish socket connections from an applet in google chrome I needed to sign the applet AND use AccessController.doPrivileged() to invoke my security sensitive code, despite having set my local policy and security files to grant my applet those permissions

The server.accept() method blocks until a connection is made anyway, so for this scenario where I only want to pass one command at a time to the serversocket inputstream a while loop didn't make sense. The change to an if allowed the program to actually continue on to the java.reflect stuff which invokes a method in the applet which invokes javascript functions directly. Since the port is still hard-coded and the applet utilizes doPrivileged(...) this is still not a great solution, but it does satisfy the use case of invoking javascript in a web browser from a desktop java application via a java applet bridge so it makes for a good springboard into more robust implementations!
