How to pass -enablePassThrough option to firefox

[gerhat]

Hello!

I am suddenly getting Session [(null externalkey)] error in firefox tests with codeception.
Same issue as here: zalando/zalenium#415

The workaround is supposed to be passing -enablePassThrough false in firefox, but I cannot get around it.

Can anybody inform me on how to pass this option?

Thanks in advance

HI @gerhat,

The images are using Selenium 3.9.0 and in this version Selenium disabled the flag. So 3.8.1 was the last version where this was supported.

I read that this was done because people were not reporting bugs related to new versions of Firefox.

Thanks for your answer @diemol

Since it is a firefox binding issue (php-webdriver/php-webdriver#523) I managed to make it work using 3.8.1-p13 with the following setup:

 selenium:
     image: elgalu/selenium:3.8.1-p13
     container_name: php_selenium
     ports:
       - "4444:24444"
       - "5902:25900"
     volumes:
       - /dev/shm:/dev/shm
     privileged: true
     environment:
       - TZ="Europe/Athens"
       - SCREEN_WIDTH=1920
       - SCREEN_HEIGHT=1080
       - SELENIUM_HUB_PARAMS=-enablePassThrough false
       - SELENIUM_NODE_PARAMS=-enablePassThrough false

That's great!
Closing this issue then.

I have found an issue in combination with zalenium and added a comment there:
zalando/zalenium#394
Maybe this is something for this issue.

I am still seeing the issue despite using 3.8.1 and passing by the HUB and NODE params

selenium:
  image: selenium/hub:3.8.1
  ports:
    - 4444
  environment:
    GRID_TIMEOUT: 300000
    SELENIUM_HUB_PARAMS: '-enablePassThrough false'
    SELENIUM_NODE_PARAMS: '-enablePassThrough false'

When i go on the hub page i see enablePassthrough still set to true

And on the selenium container i see

seluser@f6ba23f0e080:/$ env | grep SEL
SELENIUM_NODE_PARAMS=-enablePassThrough false
SELENIUM_HUB_PARAMS=-enablePassThrough false

Anyone can help confirming if this is the right way of doing it?
