Unable to launch firefox by using RemoteWebDriver+geckodriver+selenium 3

[mahadi]

Hello all,

I am using:

- selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0-beta4.jar

- geckodriver (v0.10.0)

- Firefox 49.0

- Mac - OSX EI Captain

- JRE 1.8

Code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/Users/mahadihasan/Downloads/geckodriver");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.1.1:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);

driver.get("http://google.com");

But the test failed launch Firefox browser:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities [{marionette=true, browserName=firefox, version=, platform=ANY}], required capabilities = null

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. The latest version can be downloaded from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

I was double checked geckodriver path, its there. Its a blocker for me now to proceed. It would be great if anyway can help whats going wrong. 

Thanks in advanced.

First of all, I think the url used in your remote driver is not the expected one. I think you should use the node's URL instead of the hub's one.
Second, I had the same issue described here while playing with grid and I solved it by passing the driver(s) info to the node's during its startup:
java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=MY_GECKO_ABSOLUTE_PATH -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=MY_CHROME_ABSOLUTE_PATH -jar selenium-xyz.jar -role webdriver -hub MY_HUB_SERVER_IP:PORT/grid/register -port 5566 (or any other available port)

You'll then have to run it like this:
      DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();//use your preferred browser
      caps.setBrowserName("firefox");//AGAIN, use the right browser name that you can get from the hub's config page
      caps.setPlatform(Platform.VISTA);//use the appropriate platform's name that you can get from the hub's config page
     
      this.driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.1.50:5566/wd/hub"), caps);    //replace the url by your own node's url

This helps me, thanks

Hi Mahadi,

I am also facing the same problem. Tried to resolve hardly but no luck. Can you please elloboarate how you resolved it. Thanks.

Rajasekaran

[mahadi]

It works for me simply start the server by specifying the gecko driver path:

example: 

java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=MY_GECKO_ABSOLUTE_PATH -jar selenium-xyz.jar

Hi Mahadi,

Could you please share your updated code to start the Remote firefox browser.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am unable to bypass the SSL Certification using GECKODriver. Kindly Help
FF-58
Selenium standalone server 3.0.1
Geckodriver 0.11


Regards,
Ramesh

[Deepa Padmanabhan]

I am using:

- selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar

- geckodriver (v0.11.0)

- Firefox 42.0

- Mac - OSX EI Captain

- JRE 1.8

I also set gecko driver while starting up the server and still face this issue

[⇜Krishnan Mahadevan⇝]

GeckoDriver is meant to be used with Firefox v48 or higher [ if I remember correctly ]

Firefox 47.0.1 is known to work without the need for GeckoDriver when coupled with using 2.53.1 version of Selenium.

Thanks & Regards

The more recent the Firefox, generally the better the experience using
geckodriver will be.

There are certain patches available in more recent Firefox versions
that have not been backported/uplifted to earlier versions. For this
reasons, I recommend using Nightly when using geckodriver, which you
can get as a tarball here:

https://nightly.mozilla.org/

It helps me perfectly to run my test in node device. but i can run only with one browser. i wonder if i get solution to run multiple browser with multiple nodes...

thanks in advance if it possible.

[Lukus]

For me, the fix here was to remove the /wd/hub in the URL.

So, running geckdriver manually with -vv flag I could see the error:

1481656855494 webdriver::server DEBUG Returning body {"error":"unknown command","message":"POST /wd/hub/session did not match a known command"}

Then looking at mozilla supported commands here:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/WebDriver/status

saw that it should not have /wd/hub but just /session.

So worked when called like this:

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4444"), caps); //no /wd/hub

Firefox 58 hasn’t shipped yet, so I’m a bit surprised you’re using
that. Ensure you’re using the latest Firefox nightly, Selenium
3.3.1 or newer, and geckodriver 0.15.0.

We recently made some backwards incompatible changes to geckodriver
in order to conform with the W3C WebDriver standard, causing earlier
versions of Selenium to break.

Once you had the right versions of the software, all you need to do
is to pass an additional capability, acceptInsecureCerts, set to
true, like this:

{"acceptInsecureCerts": true}

hi,
   I am also facing similar issue , with combination Firefox 53+latest Gecko driver+selenium3.4. I have suspected my DesiredCapability object has some parameter missing.


    static RemoteWebDriver createWebDiverInstance(Map<String,String> Configdata,DesiredCapabilities cap){
          RemoteWebDriver driver =null;
          String client= (String)Configdata.get("browser");
             if(client.equals("firefox")){
                System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\JavaSeleniumSetup\\geckodriver.exe");
               
                  FirefoxProfile profile= new FirefoxProfile();
                 try {
                      Firebug.configure(new File("D:\\old_machine\\firfoxext"), profile);
                 
                  } catch (IOException e) {
                      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                      e.printStackTrace();
                  }
                 FireFoxBrowserProfile.setAutomaticDownloadProfile(profile, (String)Configdata.get("downloadDir"));
                 FireFoxBrowserProfile.setProxyProfile(profile, (String)Configdata.get("host"),Integer.parseInt(Configdata.get("portnumber")));
                 cap.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
                 cap.setCapability("marionette", true);
                 System.out.println(Configdata.get("grid"));
                 try {
                    driver  =  new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(Configdata.get("grid")), cap);
                      
                } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                 driver.manage().window().maximize();
                 return driver;       
             }
       
        return null;
         
    }

Use firefox 51.0 with updated geckodriver.
It will definitely work.
But still you may face certificate-issue, if your URL need to handle certificate.
