Working version of custom firefox profile

[marklagendijk]

The current example of using a custom firefox profile does not work.
The main issue is that it sets .firefox_profile instead of .moz:firefoxOptions.profile.

I created a helper that loads and encodes an existing profile, and returns a Promise:
firefox-profile-loader.js

const Promise = require('bluebird');
const FirefoxProfile = require('firefox-profile');

module.exports = {
    getEncoded
};

function getEncoded({ profileDirectory, destinationDirectory }) {
    return copy({ profileDirectory, destinationDirectory })
        .then(encode);
}

function copy({ profileDirectory, destinationDirectory }) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        FirefoxProfile.copy({
            profileDirectory,
            destinationDirectory
        }, (error, profile) => error ? reject(error) : resolve(profile));
    });
}

function encode(profile) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        profile.encoded((error, profile) => error ? reject(error) : resolve(profile));
    });
}

Example usage:

const path = require('path');
const firefoxProfileLoader = require('./firefox-profile-loader');

exports.config = {
    directConnect: true,
    specs: [
      'spec.js'
    ],
    framework: 'jasmine2',
    getMultiCapabilities: () => firefoxProfileLoader
        .getEncoded({
            profileDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, '../firefox-profile'),
            destinationDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../tmp/firefox-profile')
        })
        .then(encodedProfile => {
            const capabilities = {
                'browserName': 'firefox',
                'moz:firefoxOptions': {
                    profile: encodedProfile,
                    args: ['--headless']
                }
            };
            return [capabilities];
        })

Note: I fixed the current example of this repo in #28.

Hi, have you got a working example or sample project of using custom preferences of firefox instance driven by protractor... I would be awesome
