Where I have to put the Firefox Profile to use it with Splinter

Question

I would like to use a specific profile with splinter. But I don't know what I have to put to which location to get this working.

Have you found a solution? I'm facing the same problem – adb16x Apr 08 '16 at 12:13 — adb16x, Apr 08 '16 at 12:13

From this link here, you just need to provide your custom profile name as a string like below

from splinter import Browser
browser = Browser('firefox', profile='my_profile')

Even when I use 'default' I get this error: return driver(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\splinter\driver\webdriver\firefox.py", lin e 23, in __init__ firefox_profile = FirefoxProfile(profile) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\firefox_profile .py", line 78, in __init__ ignore=shutil.ignore_patterns("parent.lock", "lock", ".parentlock")) File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 171, in copytree names = os.listdir(src) WindowsError: [Error 3] Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden: 'defa ult/*.*' – W0bble Jan 17 '15 at 18:54

Translation of the error message tells me that windows was not able to locate the default profile. Are you sure the default profile is present in the appropriate directory splinter is looking for? Did you try creating a new profile and see if that worked? – nilesh Jan 17 '15 at 22:40

I get `WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'default/*.*'` Where is it searching for a profile and why isn't it finding it? It opens the program correctly so it knows where that is. – endolith Jul 26 '15 at 17:20

According to this issue, passing custom profile name doesn't work. However, passing full path to the profile does.
