How to upload an extension on Firefox using pytest?

Hi Tom!

To upload an extension on Firefox using pytest, you can refer to the below sample pytest script -

# FFExt.py
from selenium import webdriver
import time
import pytest
 
# Pytest fixture is used when before running the test you need to execute some code
 
@pytest.fixture
def FFExt():
        driver = webdriver.Firefox()
        extension_path = "G:\\jsalert\\vpnxpi\\ghostery_privacy_ad_blocker-8.5.5-an+fx.xpi"
        driver.install_addon(extension_path, temporary=True)
        driver.get("about:support")
        addons = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[contains(text(),"Add-ons") and not(contains(text(),"with"))]')
        driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", addons)
        time.sleep(10)
        addons1 = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[contains(text(),"Add-ons") and not(contains(text(),"with"))]/following-sibling::*[1]/*[2]/*/*[1]')
 
# a list is created to return names of all the installed addons
        addonsList = []
        for addon in addons1:
            addonsList.append(addon.text)
        time.sleep(10)
        driver.quit()
        return addonsList
 
# This is the test function that will ASSERT whether addon is present in the list of installed add-ons returned by the FFExt function.
 
def test_addon(FFExt):
    ghostery = "Ghostery – Privacy Ad Blocker"
    assert ghostery in FFExt

Now run the following command on the terminal with the file name

pytest FFExt.py
