• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge

Installation

git clone git@github.com:emberfox205/Nato-Dex-BkmkPorter.git

Basic Command

The simplest command configuration for first / one time use:

python bkmk.py run -br <browser> -dir <path/to/the/directory/containing/browser/profile> -p <profile>

Tip

How to find your browser's profile directory and profiles:

• Chrome:
  • Enter chrome://version/ into the address bar.
  • Find Profile path, it should be something like C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default. The path to the User Data folder is your directory, while the last folder is the profile.
• Edge: Similar to Chrome, but enter edge://version/ instead.
• Firefox:
  • Enter about:profiles into the address bar.
  • In the (usually) first profile listed, the Root (not Local) path to the Profiles folder is the directory, while the final folder is the profile.

Documentation

The run command

The run command initiates the webdriver session using the three arguments --browser, --directory and --profile. For first time use, all three arguments must be provided, which will then be saved into the default profile in config.json.

python bkmk.py -br firefox -dir "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" -p "qqgixor9.default-release"

If run is used with --browser plus either or none of the others, the rest will be retrieved from their respective browser-specific profile in config.json.

python bkmk.py run -br chrome

Else if run is used without all or any arguments, the missing ones will be retrieved from the default profile in config.json, provided that the default profile is not missing any information.

python bkmk.py run
python bkmk.py run -p "Profile 1"

Note

Arguments, especially those of --directory and --profile, should be quoted.

The set command

The set command sets the default arguments to be used with run . Arguments are the same as run.

python bkmk.py set -br firefox -dir "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" -p "qqgixor9.default-release"

Caution

While --directory and --browser will be checked for validity when used with either run or set, --browser will not. Make sure the browser you set default is compatible with other elements in the default profile.
