Selenium WebDriver Change Firefox path to Tor

Question

I'm trying to change webdriver in ruby to open a tor browser instead of the default firefox broswer. I'm using the following code and I have a tor browser open before I run this code.

path='C:\Users\Bonnnie\Downloads\Tor Browser\App\tor.exe'
Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox.path = path
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox

I get the following error:

unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds

I think I might be linking to the wrong tor file.

Answer 1

The following worked for me with selenium-webdriver 2.48.1 and Tor Browser Bundle 5.0.3 on Ubuntu Linux 15.04.

require 'selenium-webdriver'

tor_dir = '/opt/tor-browser_en-US'
# The Tor binary relies on these shared libraries
ENV['LD_LIBRARY_PATH']= [
  File.join(tor_dir, 'Browser/'),
  File.join(tor_dir, 'Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/')
].join(':')
Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Binary.path =
  File.join(tor_dir, 'Browser/firefox')
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new(
  File.join(tor_dir, 'Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default'))
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, :profile => profile
driver.get('https://check.torproject.org/')
