TA: Who doesn't like proxies? Me!

Image
Are you on a company network that is using a proxy to connect to the internet? And do you want (or are you planning) to connect your tests to an external selenium-grid. Than stay tuned, before you get lost in a bunch of answers on the internet that don't resolve the issue you're facing. Source:  https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxyserver I'm on a new project and looking into Robotframework. But then I bumped into an issue with the POC I had to make which might result in me convincing the company to switch to Ruby. Anyway long story short. They use a proxy and although the internet has all the answers, you do need to know what specific question to ask to get the correct result. And since proxies are not used that much anymore, it's hard to find the skilled people to help you out and push you in the right direction for a solution. The setup To access the internet, I need a configuration on my computer that will tell Windows to connect to a proxy server. I

In case you're wondering why I haven't created a new blogpost about the Android statistics in a couple of months, it's because there are no new numbers shared yet. https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/ What does this mean?
