How to add bookmarks in Chromium/Chrome in automated fashion


How to add bookmarks in Chromium/Chrome in automated fashion



I am trying to test a Chrome extension that searches bookmarks. Puppeteer loads Chromium with a clean profile each time, which is great, but my bookmarks are empty.



I was hoping to find a way to load a bookmarks file, so I don't have to use the Chrome API to manually create a bookmark tree under a testing flag in my code.





If you're going to use your rep to downvote, please comment a reason so I can correct the question.

You can load an existing user data directory with all of its data, including bookmarks and browser settings:


puppeteer.launch({
userDataDir: '/path/to/user-data-directory',
})



The profile must be from a Chrome/Chromium version close to the puppeteer's Chromium.
Also — in my experience path shouldn't contain spaces on Windows.





Some things to note: * Spaces worked for me, on macOS. /Users/varr/Library/Application Support/Chromium * The user data directory is not the profile directory in the user data directory (I made that mistake). chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/… * Having two profiles in my user data directory caused two separate Chromium windows to open with puppeteer, so I deleted them all but one.

Opening a url is failing in Swift

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false. I added itms-apps to my plist: LSApplicationQueriesSchemes and put this in my app delegate: func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { return true } func moreTapped() { let url = NSURL(string: "itms-apps://itunes.com/developer/quantum-productions/id979315877") if #available(iOS 10.0, *) { UIApplication.shared.open(url! as URL, options: [:], completionHandler: {(success: Bool) in }) } else { UIApplication.shared.openURL(url! as URL) } } Are you testing on a real device? – rmaddy Jun 21 at 23:57 I try on a device, get "Cannot Connect to App Store".

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
