Launch FireFox custom profile with geckodriver in java

Question

I'm trying to launch a Firefox profile with add-ons in it, with selenium v3.12 and gecko-driver v2.10 and Firefox version 60.0, how-ever it seems that the custom profile is not working. below is my code

  static WebDriver driver;
    ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
            myprofile = profile.getProfile("AutoProfile");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", 
      "E:\\Library\\geckodriver-v0.21.0-win32\\geckodriver.exe");
            driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);

The acutal error is on the

     driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);

as

The constructor FirefoxDriver(FirefoxProfile) is undefined

Answer 1

Try this below line

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(myProfile);

Answer 2

In the code you need to initialize Firefox profile with the object of myprofile.

ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
       FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("AutoProfile");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", 
      "E:\\Library\\geckodriver-v0.21.0-win32\\geckodriver.exe");
         WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);

Also It's a bad practise to declare the WebDriver as static. Please refer the following link for more information.

Try below code, it worked for me:

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "Path of geckodriver.exe on your machine");

    ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();

    FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("Your Firefox Profile name");

    FirefoxOptions options=new FirefoxOptions().setProfile(myprofile);

    WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver(options);

    driver.get("Your application URL");
