Selenium Webdriver With Firebug + Netexport + Firestarter Not Creating A Har File In Python

I am currently running Selenium with Firebug, NetExport, and (trying out) FireStarter in Python trying to get the network traffic of a URL. I expect a HAR file to appear in the dir

Solution 1:

I fixed this issue for my own work by setting a longer wait before closing the browser. I think you are currently setting netexport to export after the program has quit, so no file is written. The line causing this is:

profile.set_preference("extensions.firebug.netexport.pageLoadedTimeout", 15000);

From the netexport source code we have that pageLoadedTimeout is the `Number of milliseconds to wait after the last page request to declare the page loaded'. So I suspect all your minor page loads are preventing netexport from having enough time to write the file. One caveat is you set the system to automatically export after 10s so I'm not sure why you are not acquiring half loaded json files.
