With Robot Framework and its Selenium Library, I need to open specifically Firefox, get to a repository on GitLab and download a certain file. Please don't question the tool choice, I was asked to do this with Robot on Firefox and I have to do it with Robot on Firefox. Nothing crazy on the surface actually, but I found out that GitLab runs a "check" on the browser and apparently Selenium gets stuck.
I've searched for solutions, but they all apply to either Selenium on Java, Python, etc., and most of them are about Chrome. Only a handful of unclear ones talk about Firefox and none about Robot with Selenium. I've tried to adapt some of them, such as the following:
SeleniumLibrary.Open Browser browser=firefox
... ff_profile_dir=set_preference("dom.webdriver.enabled","false");set_preference("useAutomationExtension","false")
SeleniumLibrary.Go To ${UrlGitLab}
But it doesn't work. It's still stuck on the page
Checking your browser before accessing gitlab.com.
This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly.
Please allow up to 5 seconds…
It looks like it tries to reload (?) a couple of times, but it won't go further.
Is there a solution, or a workaround that doesn't completely ditch Robot + Selenium with Firefox?
