Is there any way of adding dynaTrace/browserAgent support for selenium scripts written in Python? Our scripts are based on selenium webdriver.

Hi Admir,

You have not given much detail in where your stumbling blocks are exactly so I will give the full requirement:

You need the Browser Agent installed on the machine running the Selenium scripts
You need the environment variables either set statically or set by the scripts (reference: Browser Agent Configuration#EnvironmentVariables)
- specifically the first 3 listed
If using Firefox you need a profile defined with the dynaTrace Agent Add-On active, and to use this in Selenium
Then when you want to set timers you simply invoke the following:
//assumed declaration
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
//code here
...
//more code
...
//timer example
browser.execute_script("_dt_setTimerName(\"Timer1\")")

Hope that helps,
