Fake device for screen share automated testing on Firefox

94 Views Asked by At

I am currently working on writing automated tests using Selenium and Javascript. I would like to test screen sharing feature on our app with Firefox. I would like to know how to use a fake device for this similar to these Chrome options:

  '--use-fake-device-for-media-stream',
  '--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream',
  '--enable-usermedia-screen-capturing',
  '--auto-select-desktop-capture-source="Entire screen"',

I am using the following arguments for Firefox options:

'media.navigator.permission.disabled': true,
'media.webrtc.hw.h264.enabled': true,
'media.getusermedia.screensharing.enabled': true,
'media.navigator.streams.fake': true,
'media.peerconnection.video.h264_enabled': true

The tests work on my local machine with and without headless mode. However it fails in CI using Github Actions. I noticed the screen sharing is actually sharing my own screen, so I assume the fake device didn't work for screen sharing (it works for camera and microphone by the way).

Environment:

  • Selenium 4.12
  • Firefox 117 (gecko driver and Firefox are provided by Selenium)
