Enabling Development mode on Roku

Roku, by default has Development mode disabled. Without enabling we can't compile and install our custom application on Roku. That is the installer page won't be accessible without enabling development mode. For example, ip address of your Roku device is 192.168.1.12 then you can't access http://192.168.1.12/ which is the installer page for the Roku.To enable 'development mode' in Roku press the following combination on your Roku remote:
Home  key -3 times, Up key 2 times, Right key, Left Key, Right Key, Left Key, Right Key

If you hit the combinations as above, you'll be taken to the developer settings page. You need to scroll down the long text which has terms and agreement to Agree and enable developer mode. Once you have enabled developer mode, You can access the installer page of your device at http://ip_of_roku/ for above case, it should be http://192.168.1.12

For packaging and inspection you'll need password, and to generate password, telnet to the roku device using the following command:
telnet ip_of_roku 8080
in the above case scenario it should be telnet 192.168.1.12 8080 .And then you'll be able to remote login to your Roku device now to generate a password use genkey command.
> genkey
Here is what appears on my console for me:

[paras@c2w Downloads]$ telnet 192.168.1.12 8080Trying 192.168.1.12...Connected to 192.168.1.12.Escape character is '^]'.12G35D025197>genkey............................................................................................................................+++.....................................+++Password: WJm0GV60z+w5ogdrbpEqLQ==DevID: 31e6536bd475284e43950e2cce916174c2ff2c47>

Thus generated password can be used for packaging Roku applications.

Automate file upload in Selenium IDE

Image
Selenium IDE is an integrated development environment for Selenium tests. It records your interactions with websites to help you generate and maintain site automation, tests, and remove the need to manually step through repetitive tasks. Selenium IDE can be installed in Google Chrome from  here . For Firefox visit this  link . File upload in Selenium IDE cannot be automated simply by recording from the IDE. Because when we select the file input field, the dialog that opens up is a system window which cannot be controlled by Selenium IDE. Therefore, clicking the input file field to select a file will not work. Also the selected file path is changed to C:\fakepath\filename.extension. So to fix this issue, we need to configure the browser to support file upload and then instead of clicking the input field we set the file using ‘type’ selenium command which is shown below. First, to support file upload in Selenium IDE, configure your browser to support file upload: Visit ‘...
