I believe that the title says it all. I am really tired of having multiple browsers , which have the exact same job with a different name. And I don't want to have too many bloatware , just for the sake of developing Ruby apps. Since I am a beginner , I wont be bothered by any incompatibility with Firefox or some other browser.
So , is the Edgium driver available?
Or is it that the chromium drivers work with them too?
By Microsoft's Edgium if you meant 'new Microsoft Edge Browser' > yes, the selenium web-drivers are available in the official page.
For each browser version, the respective selenium web-drivers are available in this 'WebDriver for MIcrosoft's new Edge' page.
There is support for chrome based edge in selenium-webdriver 4.x which is currently in alpha release. Also the current version of webdrivers will pull the actual driver binary needed on your platform.

We are looking at transferring our web-based app from Naurtech CETerm to Rhomobile. We can change javascript functions/meta tags to use the methods of Rhomobile instead of CETerm, but due to the poor hardware performance of our devices the slow down caused by the overhead of loading jQuery and other files is significant. (Prior to this we had no requirement for jQuery, although it would have been nice to have it). We also now need the rhoapi javascript which is significant.
Is there a way to include these "framework" javascript files in the Rhomobile container app and have them available to all pages loaded without them needing to be re-parsed on each page load?
It is currently a web based app loaded using something like the following in our rhoconfig.txt file as opposed to a local file:
start_path = 'http://xxxxxx.co.uk/login.php'
My current understanding is that this means the app/layout.erb file cannot be used to solve this problem?
Thanks
More than RhoMobile Suite (and it's RhoElements enterprise device framework) you can take a look at Zebra Technologies' Enterprise Browser that is intended to be used as a stand-alone industrial browser, targeting Windows Mobile/Windows CE and Android devices manufactured by Motorola Solutions (now Zebra Technologies).
On "not too old" Windows CE/ Windows Mobile devices Zebra's Enterprise Browser uses a webkit derived HTML5 capable renderer engine so, to answer your question, you can use HTML5 application cache to download the JavaScript libraries only if there's an update, in this way you can remove any network delay.
I've seen some project using giant JavaScript files (well above 1MB compressed) on old WinCE 6.0 devices, the startup time is clearly the biggest problem, with the risk to look at a white page for 5-7s. This can be alleviated with an async loader and a splash screen. It's not going to make your page faster, but the user will know what is going on.
You can find more information about Enterprise Browser on Zebra Technologies developer website, the Launchpad, inside Enterprise Browser area.
If you build your custom RhoMobile web-app container with the idea to use in server pages, local resources, you can hit some issues around cross-site scripting prevention policies.
Is there any way to have a cocos2d-js web game run on IE8 ?
I was looking for something like a plugin ( google had one , chrome frame , but has beed dismissed )
even excanvas.js does not work , and iewebgl plugin seems fully abandoned
I'd have to say you can't.
WebGL is only supported in IE11, and even canvas requires IE9.
If excanvas doesn't do the trick, then I'm sorry, but you are better off using flash or some other technology that doesn't require HTML5 functionality (or get the company to update their browsers).
I have upgraded my application from orbeon 4.4 to orbeon 4.7. On loading forms, in the browser console I'm getting $.browser is undefined.
On debugging I found that orbeon 4.7 is using jQuery v1.11.0 and $.browser is removed from jQuery v1.9.
Any idea why it is still using removed/deprecated $.browser??
How to solve this??
Per the jQuery documentation, "This property was removed in jQuery 1.9 and is available only through the jQuery.migrate plugin. Please try to use feature detection instead.". So you could:
Add the JavaScript for jquery-migrate to your project.
Change your code to check whether the feature you want to use is available, rather than rely on knowing in which browser it is available. (Most front-end developers would recommend you try to use this first.)
Can Selenium webDriver Python bindings test a website developed in Ruby on Rails ? Also will I be able to use Firebug to know the id etc. of the webwlements of that website? I am very new to web test automation. Any help would be appreciated.
Can Selenium webDriver Python bindings test a website developed in Ruby on Rails ?
Yes, but if you write the tests in the code of the project if you encounter any issues you could always ask a dev who is familiar with the code base. When you use another language you're risking having a resource familiar with the language to ask.
Also will I be able to use Firebug to know the id etc. of the webwlements of that website?
Yes you can use firebug to find the css id, xpath, etc. If you're using Chrome the web developer settings has these features built in.
It doesn't matter for the driver whats the underline technology powers the site under test. That being said if you want to hook up into the back end for better reporting etc it would be easier to do with the same language
I'm tasked with fixing a bug on the mobile version of a project I just came on (and still learning my way around it). Its a heavy use 24/7 kinda job, so not keen on the trial and error guess/upload/test style of debugging.The bug is that almost none of the controls, particularly tabs, respond to user "clicks" on the ipad. The app was developed in asp.net MVC4 and I work on windows 7 in vs2012.
We are not a mac shop, but still need to support the Ipad and phone.
This is probably a simple question: but my searching keeps taking me
here: iOS6 - removed console log for IPad - how to use web inspector on windows?
and here: Accessing iOS Safari Web Inspector from Windows Machine.
I need a way to gather actually diagnostics, like what would be available in web inspector, without having to acquire a mac.
Use weinre. It runs a webserver that that can repond to a bookmarklet or <script> to run a remote inspector.
weinre is a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for FireFox) and Web Inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone.
Get NodeJS, NPM, and a webkit-based desktop browser to run it.
Homepage: https://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/
Docs: https://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/docs/latest/
To install with yarn:
yarn add --dev weinre
then because it's no longer maintained, you may get TypeError: mime.lookup is not a function when you try to use it, then you have to edit node_modules/connect/lib/middleware/static.js and change require('mime') to require('mime-types') on line 21 (thanks). Then start with
yarn run weinre
If you now open the url showed there, you'll see the bookmarklet you can use etc. (Note: If using this from other computers, you may have to open local firewall ports, and if debugging a https site you may have to add a reverse proxy with cors headers.)
