Is proxy supported? about cuprite HOT 9 CLOSED

@thbar I can add proxy support pretty quick but there's one downside you can set it only when browser starts and there's no way currently to change it on fly, as Chrome doesn't support it cyrus-and/chrome-remote-interface#152

@thbar in fact we needed proxies too, this was the beginning of cuprite we wanted too many exotic features :) will roll it out in an hour or so I think ;)

Ah my bad - I didn't grep correctly and missed this:

https://github.com/machinio/cuprite/blob/2da175ad85066f005209b75e3f437004b70294f9/lib/capybara/cuprite/browser.rb#L123-L125

Indeed it's not supported yet.

I'm unsure how hard it would be to support this.

I'll leave this opened for now, but please feel free to close if you feel this is out of scope!

@route is the browser starting once per test suite? Or instead (as I assume) once per test? If it's once per test, it's perfectly acceptable as a limitation (& not causing any trouble in my case at least).

from cuprite.

In general you start browser once and then reset after each test, but in this case proxy options will be passed as command line options so reset won't help, you have to restart browser after each test and this will slow down everything.

To clarify: I use multiple drivers in this test suite: one is custom_billy (specs are tagged with driver: :custom_billy), and these ones are all using a proxy. The other one will be a "regular" cuprite, so a différent driver instance etc.

If I understand well this means that each "driver type" will start a browser once, and it will be fast enough.

In all cases, I can provide feedback if you implement this (but don't feel forced to do so if you feel it's not the good moment or not a good feature! my use case is pretty exotic!).

I pushed changes 9ddeddf for basic support, though it is missing auth and runtime proxy rotation

@route thanks! I will try this out & will report back.

@route I was able to set the proxy, and it mostly worked, but my suite is regressing for some weird reason at this point. I cannot pinpoint it exactly at this point, but will investigate!

I will still close, because I believe the proxy support is already in master & providing value as is. Thanks!
