Re: Testing w/Selenium against app running in Eclipse demands Firefox Development Mode Plugin

By default, Selenium starts the browser with a fresh profile every time, which means that it has no plugins installed. On quitting, it deletes that profile again, to make sure that it won't slowly consume your disk.

When you start the firefox driver instance, you can ask it to load profile details, including plugins. You can either create a new profile that only has this plugin added (to keep things simpler and avoid other plugin issues), or you can actually use your own default profile.

http://steveliles.github.io/testing_gwt_apps_in_dev_mode_with_webdriver.html documents using your own profile, but this requires already having a firefox profile set up locally with dev mode, which may not be ideal for using other test machines to verify your app.

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/webdriver/xPDudSnAxwo/discussion documents doing this the other way around, using the default of a fresh profile (no history, no cache, no plugins, etc), and adding the gwt dev mode plugin.

When I run my test suite against the GWT app running on a Tomcat server, all is well.

When I try to run it against a local copy running in Eclipse, instead of bringing up my application, Firefox gives me:

    Development Mode requires the GWT Developer Plugin

with a badge to click on to download the plugin.  It does this no matter how many times I have downloaded and installed the plugin and re-started Firefox.

Ideas?
