How to use a Firefox custom profile with https://github.com/seleniumhq/docker-selenium

Steps to follow in the host machine (most likely, your machine).

Create a Firefox Profile

Copy the created profile to a given folder

  • In OSX, the profiles are located at ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles. Find where they are in your operating system.
  • In the profiles folder you will find the profile you just created, for this case we will use the folder name hcqx24zh.selenium.
  • Copy the profile to a folder called firefox in a given location. E.g.:

Installing ImageMagick & Ghostscript on Ubuntu
  1. You have Ghostscript installed, right? Otherwise sudo apt-get install ghostscript
  2. This is important and installs the headers (iapi.h etc) which are required but don't come with the default Ghostscript package: sudo apt-get install libgs-dev
  3. I also needed sudo apt-get install gs-esp
  4. For me the pre compiled version of ImageMagick never accepted Ghostscript, so let's remove it: sudo apt-get --purge remove imagemagick
  5. Get the source of ImageMagick, untar it, cd ImageMagick-xx
  6. ./configure --with-gslib=yes [and what else you need]
  7. Confirm in the output near the bottom gslib yes yes and not gslib yes no
  8. make
  9. make install
  10. Run convert -list configure | grep DELEGATES => DELEGATES bzlib djvu freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms png tiff x11 xml zlib

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.
