0.32.0 (2022-10-13, 4563dd583110)

Added

  • Native aarch64 builds of geckodriver for Linux and Windows are now available.

  • Support wheel input source for Actions, which is associated with a wheel-type input device. This endpoint is supported by geckodriver when using Firefox version ≥106.

  • Support touch as pointerType for pointer input source for Actions, which is associated with a touch input device. This also includes the addition of all the remaining properties for pointer input sources as specified by WebDriver. This endpoint is supported by geckodriver when using Firefox version ≥104.

Fixed

  • Using geckodriver to launch Firefox inside a sandbox -- for example a Firefox distribution using Snap or Flatpak -- can fail with a "Profile not found" error if the sandbox restricts Firefox's ability to access the system temporary directory. geckodriver uses the temporary directory to store Firefox profiles created during the run.

    This issue can now be worked around by using the --profile-root command line option or setting the TMPDIR environment variable to a location that both Firefox and geckodriver have read/write access to e.g.:

    % mkdir $HOME/tmp
    % geckodriver --profile-root=~/tmp

    or

    % TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp geckodriver

    Alternatively, geckodriver may be used with a Firefox install that is not packaged inside a sandbox e.g. from mozilla.org.

  • The sandboxed Firefox binary is now automatically detected when geckodriver is used from within a Snap confinement.

    Implemented by Olivier Tilloy.

  • On MacOS the geckodriver binary is now technically both signed and notarized.

    Note: The actual validation can only be performed if the machine that starts the geckodriver binary for the very first time is online. You can find more details on how to work around this issue in the macOS notarization section of the documentation.

  • The backup of the original Firefox preferences are now correctly restored on Android when the WebDriver session ends.

Changed

  • Update dependencies
