By default any request with an `Origin` +header is rejected to protect against malicious websites trying to +access geckodriver running on the local machine. + +If `--allow-origins` is provided, web services running on the given +origin will be able to make requests to geckodriver. For example +`--allow-origins https://webdriver.test:8080` will allow a web-based +service on the origin with scheme `https`, hostname `webdriver.test`, +and port `8080` to access the geckodriver instance. + +## <code>-\\-android-storage <var>ANDROID_STORAGE</var></code> + +**Deprecation warning**: This argument is deprecated and planned to be removed +with the 0.31.0 release of geckodriver. As such it shouldn't be used with version +0.30.0 or later anymore. By default the automatic detection will now use the +external storage location, which is always readable and writeable. + +Selects the test data location on the Android device, eg. the Firefox profile. +By default `auto` is used. + +<style type="text/css"> + table { width: 100%; margin-bottom: 2em; } + table, th, td { border: solid gray 1px; } + td, th { padding: 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; } + td:nth-child(1), th:nth-child(1) { width: 10em; text-align: center; } +</style> + +<table> + <thead> + <tr> + <th>Value + <th>Description + </tr> + </thead> + + <tr> + <td>auto + <td>Best suitable location based on whether the device is rooted.<br/> + If the device is rooted `internal` is used, otherwise `app`. + <tr> + <td>app + <td><p>Location: `/data/data/%androidPackage%/test_root`</p> + Based on the `androidPackage` capability that is passed as part of + `moz:firefoxOptions` when creating a new session.

By default geckodriver tries to +find and use the system installation of Firefox, but that behaviour +can be changed by using this option. Note that the `binary` +capability of the `moz:firefoxOptions` object that is passed when +[creating a new session] will override this option. + +On Linux systems it will use the first _firefox_ binary found +by searching the `PATH` environmental variable, which is roughly +equivalent to calling [whereis(1)] and extracting the second column: + +```shell +% whereis firefox +firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /usr/local/firefox +``` + +On macOS, the binary is found by looking for the first _firefox_ +binary in the same fashion as on Linux systems. This means it is +possible to also use `PATH` to control where geckodriver should +find Firefox on macOS. It will then look for _/Applications/Firefox.app_. + +On Windows systems, geckodriver looks for the system Firefox by +scanning the Windows registry. + +[creating a new session]: https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#new-session +[whereis(1)]: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/whereis/ + +## <code>-\\-connect-existing</code> + +Connect geckodriver to an existing Firefox instance. This means +geckodriver will abstain from the default of starting a new Firefox +session. + +The existing Firefox instance must have [Marionette] enabled. +To enable the remote protocol in Firefox, you can pass the +`--marionette` flag. Unless the `marionette.port` preference +has been user-set, Marionette will listen on port 2828. So when +using `--connect-existing` it is likely you will also have to use +`--marionette-port` to set the correct port. + +## <code>-\\-host <var>HOST</var></code> + +Host to use for the WebDriver server. Defaults to 127.0.0.1. + +## <code>-\\-jsdebugger</code> + +Attach [browser toolbox] debugger when Firefox starts. This is +useful for debugging [Marionette] internals. + +To be prompted at the start of the test run or between tests, +you can set the `marionette.debugging.clicktostart` preference to +`true`. + +For reference, below is the list of preferences that enables the +chrome debugger. These are all set implicitly when the +argument is passed to geckodriver. + +* `devtools.browsertoolbox.panel` -> `jsdebugger` + + Selects the Debugger panel by default. + +* `devtools.chrome.enabled` → true + + Enables debugging of chrome code. + +* `devtools.debugger.prompt-connection` → false + + Controls the remote connection prompt. Note that this will + automatically expose your Firefox instance to localhost. + +* `devtools.debugger.remote-enabled` → true + + Allows a remote debugger to connect, which is necessary for + debugging chrome code. + +[browser toolbox]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Browser_Toolbox + +## <code>-\\-log <var>LEVEL</var></code> + +Set the Gecko and geckodriver log level. Possible values are `fatal`, +`error`, `warn`, `info`, `config`, `debug`, and `trace`. + +## <code>-\\-log-no-truncate</code> + +Disables truncation of long log lines. + +## <code>-\\-marionette-host <var>HOST</var></code> + +Selects the host for geckodriver’s connection to the [Marionette] +remote protocol. Defaults to 127.0.0.1. + +## <code>-\\-marionette-port <var>PORT</var></code> + +Selects the port for geckodriver’s connection to the [Marionette] +remote protocol. + +In the default mode where geckodriver starts and manages the Firefox +process, it will pick a free port assigned by the system and set the +`marionette.port` preference in the profile. + +When `--connect-existing` is used and the Firefox process is not +under geckodriver’s control, it will simply connect to <var>PORT</var>. + +`--connect-existing`: #connect-existing + +## <code>-p <var>PORT</var></code> / <code>-\\-port <var>PORT</var></code> + +Port to use for the WebDriver server. Defaults to 4444. + +A helpful trick is that it is possible to bind to 0 to get the +system to atomically assign a free port. + +## <code>-\\-profile-root <var>PROFILE_ROOT</var></code> + +Path to the directory to use when creating temporary profiles. By +default this is the system temporary directory. Both geckodriver and +Firefox must have read-write access to this path. + +This setting can be useful when Firefox is sandboxed from the host +filesystem such that it doesn't share the same system temporary +directory as geckodriver (e.g. when running Firefox inside a container +or packaged as a snap). + +## <code>-v[v]</code> + +Increases the logging verbosity by to debug level when passing +a single `-v`, or to trace level if `-vv` is passed. This is +analogous to passing `--log debug` and `--log trace`, respectively. + +## <code>-\\-websocket-port<var>PORT</var></code> + +Port to use to connect to WebDriver BiDi. Defaults to 9222. + +A helpful trick is that it is possible to bind to 0 to get the +system to atomically assign a free port. + +[Marionette]: /testing/marionette/index.rst |
