browser_types.xml ·

All browser configurations are made in sahi/userdata/browser_types.xml

The typical syntax is given below.

<browserTypes> <browserType> <name>firefox</name> <displayName>Firefox</displayName> <icon>firefox.png</icon> <path>$ProgramFiles\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe</path> <options>-profile "$userDir/browser/ff/profiles/sahi$threadNo" -no-remote</options> <processName>firefox.exe</processName> <capacity>5</capacity> </browserType> </browserTypes>

name	key by which this browserType will be referred
displayName	Text visible on the Sahi Dashboard
icon	png icon. These are bundled inside Sahi
path	path to browser executable. If you run this from a command line, it should invoke the browser
options	options needed by browser. Generally this sets the proxy, and isolates browser sessions so that cookies are not shared
processName	the processName for looking up PID of process. Sahi will do a tasklist or ps with this name to identify the process to kill
capacity	maximum number of browsers simultaneously executable without overwhelming the system. This depends on your system and you can configure this based on your judgement
useSystemProxy	true/false Specifies if Windows system proxy settings should be changed to use Proxy. Needed by Internet Explorer and Safari on Windows
force	true/false Sahi checks to see that the “path” attribute above is correct and available on the system. On some OSes the path is not really a file path but a command to invoke the browser. Use force=true in those cases

If your browser is installed in a non standard directory, edit sahi/userdata/browser_types.xml and set the correct path.
Alternatively, you can click on “Configure” link on the Sahi Dashboard and edit browser_types.xml.

Sahi needs to be restarted for the settings to take effect.

Sahi comes with default configurations for various browsers and operating systems. These are available in sahi/config/browser_types directory. If sahi/userdata/config/browser_types.xml file is deleted, the correct file will be replaced from the defaults.

Default browser configurations for various operating systems:
win32.xml	win64.xml	linux.xml	mac.xml
