browsermob-proxy-py

Python client for the BrowserMob Proxy 2.0 REST API.

How to use with selenium-webdriver

Manually:

from browsermobproxy import Server
server = Server("path/to/browsermob-proxy")
server.start()
proxy = server.create_proxy()

from selenium import webdriver
profile  = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_proxy(proxy.selenium_proxy())
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)


proxy.new_har("google")
driver.get("http://www.google.co.uk")
proxy.har # returns a HAR JSON blob

server.stop()
driver.quit()

for Chrome use

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server={0}".format(proxy.proxy))
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = chrome_options)

Running Tests

To run the tests in a CI environment, disable the ones that require human judgement by using

$ py.test -m "not human" test

If you are going to watch the test, the 'human' ones should display an english muffin instead of the american flag on the 'pick your version' page. Or at least it does from Canada.
