I am currently trying to use Selenium to simulate a user on a website that features audio chat. My goal is to emulate the user speaking through the microphone.
While I have come across several resources discussing how to listen to the microphone in JavaScript, I have not found any information on sending sound through the microphone using JavaScript.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Firstly, I check if AudioContext is available:
private boolean isAudioContextSupported() {
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) getDriver();
Object response = js.executeAsyncScript(
"var callback = arguments[arguments.length - 1];" +
"var context;" +
"try {" +
" window.AudioContext = window.AudioContext||window.webkitAudioContext;" +
" context = new AudioContext();" +
" callback('');" +
"}" +
"catch(e) {" +
" callback('Web Audio API is not supported in this browser');" +
"}");
String responseAsString = response == null?"":(String)response;
return responseAsString.isEmpty();
}
Next, I attempt to retrieve audio from a URL:
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) getDriver();
Object response = js.executeAsyncScript(
"var callback = arguments[arguments.length - 1];" +
"window.AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;" +
"var context = new AudioContext();" +
"var url = '<ogg file url>';" +
"var request = new XMLHttpRequest();" +
"request.open('GET', url, true);" +
"request.responseType = 'arraybuffer';" +
"request.onload = function() {" +
" context.decodeAudioData(request.response, function(buffer) {" +
" <send the buffer data through the microphone>" +
"}, callback(request.statusText));" +
"};" +
"request.send();" +
"callback('OK');"
);
The challenge I am facing now is how to send the buffer data obtained from the ogg file through the microphone.
EDIT:
The answer provided in Chrome: fake microphone input for test purpose does not address my specific question, as I have already reviewed it.
EDIT 2:
There are a few important points to consider:
1) The solution I am seeking may involve using another language or tool.
2) I am unable to use hardware to emulate microphone input (e.g., outputting sound via speakers for the microphone to pick up).
