Marionnete driver - Firefox is not reacting on screen

[Nir Pinchas]

Hello guys .

I am trying to run firefox 46/7 via Marionnete driver.

I ran it and the browser loads , but when I send actions to the driver like navigate etc, nothing seems to happen on the screen..

for example - 

I ran:

_driver = new MarionetteDriver(dc);

_driver.navigate().to("http://www.drp.co.il");

String x = _driver.getCurrentUrl();

x returns "http://www.drp.co.il" , but the actual browser stays on the initial browser page , it doesnt really navigates !!

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

*I use the latest "wire.exe"  v0.7.1

What does the wires log say ?

I tried recreating your issue and am not able to. FWIW I am running on a MAC and am on Selenium 2.53.0 using wires 0.7.1.

Here's the chatty logs from wires, when I ran a simple test on FF 46.0.1.

hello Krishnan,

I just restarted my computer and it seems like the navigation problem was solved somehow , but I have another problem - it seems like the JavascriptExecutor of the driver doesnt work on the main page. For example , I have a var on the page called num - the JavascriptExecutor  claims it is undefined..

I ran this code - 

DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

OSUtils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", new File(TestConfig.getInstance().get("BrowserPath")).getAbsolutePath());

OSUtils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver",PathConfig.getInstance().resolve("drivers","wires.exe"));

_driver = new MarionetteDriver(dc);

_driver.navigate().to("https://yahoo.com");

String url = _driver.getCurrentUrl();

JavascriptExecutor jx = (JavascriptExecutor) _driver;

Object varNum = jx.executeScript("return num;");

(I added the num var manually through the browser console after navigation).

the output is:

Thank you!

About the navigation problem - 

It happened because there was another session of firefox open , and the driver opened a new session but then started communicate with the old one ! it seems like a bug isnt it?

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

@Nir,

Looking at this page : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/WebDriver/status

sounds like support for Javascript execution is marked complete. So it should work.

Can you please share a sample test which injects a variable via javascript and then later uses the same javascript to read the value..so that I can use it to see if I can find out anything additional.

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Hi Krishnan ,

If I am adding the var by myself before trying to return its value it works fine. I am talking about vars that are already exist on the page.

For example please run this test: (The var 'gadgets' exists in google page by default).

 This code throws an error so you can try it: (if youll remove the comment from "gadgets = 123;" it works fine..)

@Test

public void test1() throws Exception{

WebDriver _driver; 

DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

OSUtils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "C:\\FirefoxOfficial\\firefox.exe");

OSUtils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Wires\\wires.exe");

_driver = new MarionetteDriver(dc);

_driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.com/");

Thread.sleep(2000);

JavascriptExecutor jx = (JavascriptExecutor) _driver;

//jx.executeScript("gadgets = 123;");

Object varNum = jx.executeScript("return gadgets;");

System.out.println(varNum);

}

It happens on every page and every var I tried , not only on google...

Thank you !!!

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

Just curious : Do you see the same behavior with the other drivers such as InternetExplorerDriver and ChromeDriver ?

Not at all,  it also works fine with the good old firefoxDriver.

please run this piece of code and you can see it works flawlessly :

@Test

public void test2() throws Exception{

WebDriver _driver; 

DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

OSUtils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "C:\\Projects\\walkme.automation\\Project.Core\\external\\selenium_drivers\\IEDriverServer.exe");

//OSUtils.setSystemProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Wires\\wires.exe");

_driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

_driver.navigate().to("https://www.google.com/");

Thread.sleep(2000);

JavascriptExecutor jx = (JavascriptExecutor) _driver;

//jx.executeScript("gadgets = 123;");

Object varNum = jx.executeScript("return gadgets;");

System.out.println(varNum);

}

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

Then I think you would need to be filing a bug here : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Testing&component=Marionette&cc=dbu...@mozilla.com

Based on this information it’s really hard to figure out what’s
wrong.

Generally I would advise you to use Firefox Nightly when experimenting
with Marionette since it has many bug fixes and features that are not
available in Firefox 46/47.

You can download nightly builds from https://nightly.mozilla.org.

This is a known problem in stable Firefox to do with how scripts
are evaluated inside immutable sandboxes. The problem was fixed in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123506, which was uplifted
to Firefox 48 only yesterday.

I’d recommend you to try this again using Firefox Nightly.

Hm. I’m sad to say that this document isn’t entirely truthful with
respect to the current status of things in Marionette.

Yikes.. I didn't know that... But thanks for letting me know of it Andreas...

Did anyone come across the following issue:

Script:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\jains13\\Downloads\\wires-0.6.2-win\\wires-0.6.2-win.exe");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);

driver = new MarionetteDriver(capabilities);

driver.get("https://cacert.org");

Thread.sleep(5000);

driver.quit();

driver.close();

1. FF 47, sel 2.52.0 jar file,marionette jar v0.6.0  ran the above simple script, it works fine.

2.  FF 47, sel 2.52.0 jar file,marionette jar v0.8.0, throws exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

3.  FF 47, sel 2.52.0 jar file,marionette jar v0.7.1, fails too.

It seems to be working only on v0.6.2 on FF 47.

Am i missing something or is it a known issue ?
