0.34.0 (2024-01-03, c44f0d09630a)

Known problems

• Startup hang with Firefox running in a container (e.g. snap, flatpak):

When Firefox is packaged inside a container (like the default Firefox browser shipped with Ubuntu 22.04), it may see a different filesystem to the host. This can affect access to the generated profile directory, which may result in a hang when starting Firefox. Workarounds are listed in the geckodriver usage documentation.

Added

• Support for Virtual Authenticators

Virtual Authenticators serve as a WebDriver Extension designed to simulate user authentication (WebAuthn) on web applications during automated testing. This functionality encompasses a range of methods, including passwords, biometrics, and security keys.

Geckodriver supports all available commands:

• Add Virtual Authenticator
• Remove Virtual Authenticator
• Add Credential
• Get Credentials
• Remove Credential
• Remove All Credentials

• Set User Verified

• Support for using a page range as integer for the Print command.

Implemented by Mitesh Gulecha.

Changed

• The error handling has undergone refactoring, now utilizing the anyhow and thiserror crates.

Implemented by James Hendry.

• Specifying --port=0 as an argument allows geckodriver to dynamically find and use an available free port on the system.

• Updated dependencies (base64, clap, rust-url)

Fixed

• While searching for a default Firefox installation on the system, geckodriver used the Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin executable instead of the binary specified in the app bundle's info.plist file. This behavior resulted in a malfunction due to a regression in Firefox, particularly affecting the Firefox 121 release.

• The Firefox version check has been extended to enable the execution of distributions with custom prefixes for the application name.

Implemented by Razvan Cojocaru.

Removed

• Removed the unknown path error which is not part of the WebDriver specification.

Implemented by James Hendry.
