I'm having a problem with firefox caching, when i change a site redirection firefox decides that it needs to cache this.
The point is I wan't to create a test that tests editing a redirection works, but this caching prevents me from doing this.
Is there a way to disable firefox caching? or better yet delete it when needed?
NOTE: It's not cookies but the actual firefox cache.
I'm using webdriver C# version.
Take a look at this page: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=40
To disable Firefox caching you can try:
Create a new profile with firefox.exe -ProfileManager
Go to the Firefox profile directory and add the following to prefs.js:
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false);
user_pref("network.http.use-cache", false);
Tell Selenium to use the custom Firefox profile (This is Java):
ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = allProfiles.getProfile("Selenium");
FirefoxDriver browser = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
profile["browser.cache.disk.enable"] = false . This is only one of the four cache settings, but the syntax is of course the same for all of them.To disable chrome caching:
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-application-cache')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
List of available command-line arguments you can see here.
