Selenium n Safari

For all those who are stuck running Selenium tests on Safari...
Here are a couple of tips:

If you are using any version before 5 of Safari

You can run your tests using any RC versions > 1.0
If you tests doesn't run then please verify the following:

Enable popup's on Safari - I know I sound silly but believe me thats the only issue sometimes
Try running your tests using *safariproxy
Verify the path given for the safari executable - it should be something like: C:\ProgramFiles\Safari\Safari.exe

If you are using version 5.1

Then you have to run your tests on RC version 1.0.3 only
Also change your tests to run using *safariproxy
Don't forget enable pop ups :)

Even after doing all this - you'll still need an All the Best!!!

And if you have a choice then pls run your tests on Safari Mac :)

wget error–“zsh: parse error near &”

There is no doubt that I prefer wget way over any other type of downloads… Syntax: wget <DOWNLOAD_URL> If you get this error “ zsh: parse error near & ” then its probably because your download URL has a “&” so you should try giving your DOWNLOAD_URL in double quotes wget “<DOWNLOAD_URL>” If you are trying to download from a site which needs you to give your credentials then you can try giving it this way wget --http-user=<UserName> --http-password=<Password> “<DOWNLOAD_URL>” Hope this helps

Ubuntu: "Unlock login keyring" message "the password you use to log in your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring"

Resetting all the keyring passwords: Navigate to Places > Home . Press ctrl h t o view "hidden files". Navigate to .gnome2 > keyrings and delete login.keyring Using the same keyring (resetting keyring password but keeping old passwords in keyring): 1) Make a backup of the keyring cd ~/.local/share/keyrings/ cp login.keyring login.keyring.backup and after that delete login.keyring file rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring 2) Create a new keyring file from Gnome Keyring with the name "login" 3) Replace the new keyring file with the backup of the old keyring file cd ~/.local/share/keyrings/ mv login.keyring.backup login.keyring Note: before Ubuntu 12.10 the path to the keyrings folder was ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ instead of ~/.local/share/keyrings/
