Thucydides with Firefox 12 and 13 have stopped working

[Ilyas Patel]

Hello

I am using the latest version of Thucydides (0.8.24) in my maven config which downloads versions 2.16.1 and 2.22.0 of the Selenium-firefox-driver. 

When my browser upgraded to Firefox 12 my tests stopped working. Now I have upgraded to Firefox 13 which has made no difference. I have had this running before with Firefox 11. 

When I try running an individual test from IntelliJ it just seems to hang:

@Issue("#WIKI-1")

@Test

public void looking_up_the_definition_of_apple_should_display_the_corresponding_article() {

        endUser.is_the_home_page();

endUser.looks_for("apple");

        endUser.should_see_definition_containing_words("A common, round fruit");

}

I've setup a really basic test (not using Thucydides) which also does not work and when I step debug I get this error:

Method threw 'java.lang.NullPointerException' exception. cannot evaluate org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary.toString()

Any help much appreciated.

I've made some progress on this by updated to Firefox driver 23.1. Now my tests run but get this error when tests are complete via a maven build:
