Hello, can I add my own extension which has not yet published in selenium web driver?

[@KrishnaSakinala]

Thanks *Aryan Gupta* for commenting on how to add chrome extension in selenium at runtime. I think you can add your own extension as that is already stored in your local machine. In the video we do not have any chrome extension in my machine. So I downloaded and used the same to add using selenium program. As the extension is already in your machine, so you can give the path of the extension and can add to your browser.

[@AryanGupta-nt5qi]

@@KrishnaSakinala I tried this same thing but I was not able to add the extension in the driver. I have a simple extension with a manifest.json file and a background script that creates a red border. Am I doing anything wrong while packing it as a .xpi file? I simply first made an archive of both my files and then changed the extension of archive to .xpi.

[@AryanGupta-nt5qi]

@@KrishnaSakinala please reply

[@KrishnaSakinala]

I am not sure on this. But the extension is .crx file rt?

[@AryanGupta-nt5qi]

@@KrishnaSakinala yes .crx sorry by mistake I wrote .xpi

[@artigupta3045]

how can we click on the Extension. I tried using Sikuli but it's not working!!

[@PrashantKumar-nr6yx]

Thanks for the video. In addition to adding extensions, can we add parameters under Headers. I want to add Moesif Origin & CORS Changer extension and add parameters under Access-Control-Allow-Headers: section.

[@KrishnaSakinala]

I am not sure what are you asking? Can you explain more...

[@pokemongamervamsi5730]

Can we add parameters in extension??

[@wsloutlet6778]

[@ruthravadivelmurugesan5236]

After installing the extension using selenium, how to open the extension? I am not able to click on the extension using the script after installing it. Can you explain some automation solutions on that ?

[@KrishnaSakinala]

I am not very sure on that ...

[@fabianmaume8816]

Is there a way to control the extension from the script once it is installed?

[@KrishnaSakinala]

I did not get you. Can you explain more?

[@fabianmaume8816]

@@KrishnaSakinala The extension is not part of the DOM. How can you perform action on the extension controls button (from the script)?
