[@sri780CrazeeCrafts]

Hi, I need to open adobe experience platform debugger extension from my script which I downloaded, can u plz let me know how to achieve this, thank you in advance.

[@letcode]

Is that a pop up page ?

[@sri780CrazeeCrafts]

So I installed adobe experience platform debugger through runtime, so now I need to open that extension and come back to my main web application and run my script while this adobe captures all the actions that is taking place in the application

[@sri780CrazeeCrafts]

That adobe extension is to capture the analytics of my main web application

[@sri780CrazeeCrafts]

If not can I simply open the adobe extension which I downloaded in my local through my script and run my test?? I’m using selenium java, Hope u understand my requirement, Plz let me know if there any way to achieve this, thank you 🙏

[@dilipdiwakars]

Your Videos are awesome. Can this chrome extension be automated using playwright , Can you please post a video for that

[@letcode]

Yes, playwright can do it. I'll create a video.

[@dilipdiwakars]

@@letcode Thank You. I am using an extension called Metamask , if you can try using that to create a demo , that will be great

[@dilipdiwakars]

@letCode Can you please post a video to automate Chrome Extn using Playwright.

[@letcode]

Ok 🆗

[@abdulrasooln7489]

I cannot find browser_action.html file in extension folder in my local. What shall I do?

[@letcode]

Might be the file name is different

[@nappily_evr_after]

It's usually called popup.html or something similar

[@RohitSingh-n8r3y]

I am stuck in one situation that i want to open extension on the same page by selecting it and want to get data from there. Is there any way we can achieve this Scenario : I have added wappalyzer extension to the chrome but unable to open it on the page so that i can get all the version related data

[@letcode]

I don't think you can do the click action directly. If you have to find the webpage details using wappalyzer you navigate to their site and pass your url..

[@dilipdiwakars]

Thanks for this video. Can this chrome extension be automated using playwright , Can you please post a video for that

[@letcode]

Chrome extension can be automated using playwright, I'll make a video.

[@arar9578]

if you open the chrome extension and change something there, it will not be saved if you close it and open a window again with Python Selenium. can you set it to be saved?

[@letcode]

If the extension use local storage then it's not possible.

How can I open my website AND extension popup at the same time with selenium ?

[@letcode]

Hi, you cannot trigger the pop directly, you can open in a new tab.

[@mdsadikalamin569]

how to automate chrome extension when the popup page is in a different folder. e.g. In "Grammarly" extension popup page is in a different folder name: src

[@letcode]

You can give the path/file.html

[@mdsadikalamin569]

After giving the Grammarly file path in the Pack extension root director for creating crx file it shows the error: "Manifest file is missing or unreadable". Having this issue with Grammarly, not with Google Dictionary.

[@letcode]

Check if the folder path is correct.. Give the root directory of the manifest file.

[@dineshkarthik5732]

@letcode I have one query in my side. Is it possible to open the extension in same tab where we launch the url.

[@letcode]

yes possible but as soon as you install the extension if its opening new tab, in that case you have to deal with window handling concept.

[@dineshkarthik5732]

@letcode my extension would be reading the url and giving the output. If its a different tab, i am not seeing manually also not working. wave evaluation tool is my extension

[@dineshkarthik5732]

@@letcode yess

[@letcode]

it's actually complicated to do, because it's need message passing technique to do the communication. You can ask your developer if they can provide that, then may be we can do that using JS or executeScript. I will try from my side as well, but I think this not automatable as it's going to read the dom content, so it will definitely differs in every pages.

[@kiranm1437]

Is there a way where we can permanently install the extension to chrome by automating Instead of drag and drop the unpacked extension ?

[@letcode]

By default while automating chorme remove all the extension. We can use capabilities to add the extension before each run. I have given the steps in this video.

For protractor I didn't do bro. I was facing some issues then I forgot to do it.

[@MatheusSilva-qm3ph]

Very good content. Congratulations I really liked it. One question, I can open the browser with my extension, but its icon must be clicked on the top of the browser to start. Doesn't this selenium do because it is outside the "DOM"? Is there any way? Thanks

[@letcode]

Thank you, I don't think we can do it using Selenium, we can open that page by opening the URL. If we have to open it explicitly, then we can go with Sikuli or AutoIT, but that might not be a good solution I believe.
