# marionette

[![CI](https://github.com/Bogdanp/marionette/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Bogdanp/marionette/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

A Racket library that lets you control Firefox via the [Marionette
Protocol].

## Quickstart

Install marionette:

$ raco pkg install marionette

Run `Firefox` with the `-marionette` flag:

$ /path/to/firefox -headless -marionette -safe-mode

Run this script:

``` racket
#lang racket

(require marionette)

(call-with-browser!
(lambda (b)
(call-with-page! b
(lambda (p)
(page-goto! p "https://racket-lang.org")
(call-with-page-screenshot! p
(lambda (data)
(define filename (make-temporary-file "~a.png"))
(with-output-to-file filename
#:exists 'truncate/replace
(lambda ()
(write-bytes data)))

(system* (find-executable-path "open") filename)))))))
```

## Tips

To run a headless, marionette-enabled Firefox while you've got another
instance of the browser open, add the `-no-remote` flag:

$ /path/to/firefox -no-remote -headless -marionette -safe-mode

It's advisable that you use a separate profile as well:

$ /path/to/firefox -P marionette -no-remote -headless -marionette -safe-mode

You can create new profiles by visiting `about:profiles` in the
browser.
