By Henrik Skupin

It’s somewhat scary how fast the time flies by. I can remember that I wrote a post for my 15th Bugzilla anniversary (as it feels not that long ago). But now the next mark has been reached with using Bugzilla for 20 years! A lot has happened in those last 5 years, and I’m sure that the 25th anniversary will come as well. For statistics I have as well some numbers for my Bugzilla account:   2018 2023 Changes Bugs filed 4690 6504 + 1814 Comments made 63947 82346 +Continue readingMy 20th Bugzilla account anniversary

Fix for increased file size when removing a PDF password on Mac OS

By Henrik Skupin

Over the last couple of months I received some password protected PDF files. While using this kind of protection is easy for casual users, I find it kinda annoying that it forces me to add a separate step to my process when storing these files without a password on my local disk. And here I noticed some quirks when doing that step on Mac OS. The easiest way to remove the password is clearly to use the Preview application, and to export / save the document as a new fileContinue readingFix for increased file size when removing a PDF password on Mac OS

What to do when Firefox crashes under test automation with Selenium

By Henrik Skupin

If you have the task to create automated tests for websites you will most likely make use of Selenium when it comes to testing UI interactions. To execute the tests for the various browsers out there each browser vendor offers a so called driver package  which has to be used by Selenium to run each of the commands. In case of Firefox this will be geckodriver. Within the last months we got a couple of issues reported for geckodriver that Firefox sometimes crashes while the tests are running. This feedbackContinue readingWhat to do when Firefox crashes under test automation with Selenium

Element interactability checks with geckodriver and Firefox 58

By Henrik Skupin

When you are using Selenium and geckodriver to automate your tests in Firefox you might see a behavior change with Firefox 58 when using the commands Element Click or Element Send Keys. For both commands we have enabled the interactability checks by default now. That means that if such an operation has to be performed for any kind of element it will be checked first, if a click on it or sending keys to it would work from a normal user perspective at all. If not a not-interactable error willContinue readingElement interactability checks with geckodriver and Firefox 58
