New issue 4193 by madhu.pr...@gmail.com: Unable to create new session in
Firefox on CentOS
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4193

Following are the steps that will reproduce the problem:

1. Open a terminal in CentOS, and go the path where selenium server
standalone is located.

2.Start selenium server with the following command:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar
-webdriver.firefox.bin="/usr/bin/firefox" -port 6666

3. Start the test suite execution using testNG config file.

Firefox does not launch for test execution.

Expected:
Firefox should be launched and test execution should start.


Selenium version: selenium-server-standalone-2.23.1.jar
OS: CentOS Release 6.2
Browser:Firefox ESR
Browser version: 10.0.5

We are using webdriver for test cases.
Earlier the same tests used to run on the machine successfully, but after
2-3 days the tests started failing and give error. Following is the server
log:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.23.1.jar

session in Firefox on CentOS
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4193

In addition, if I try to create a new session manually through
http://localhost:5555/wd/hub/static/resource/hub.html , then also the same
error is thrown as: "Unable to create new session."

a) Not sure if we support CentOS, but I'll leave it to others to make a
ruling on that :)

b) Regarding comment #1, yes it fails to create a new session b/c it goes
through the exact same java code path (e.g. new FirefoxDriver())

Hi,

from my point of view the reason of this error that misprint in Java option
is occurred:

-webdriver.firefox.bin="/usr/bin/firefox"

instead of:

-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="/usr/bin/firefox"

was used.

Could you recheck with corrected option or confirm that option was correct
set?

Firefox on CentOS
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4193

And just for info, as i understand the root of problem is at:

String firefoxLibraryPath =
System.getProperty("webdriver.firefox.library.path",
binary.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath());

either binary or binary.getParentFile() [it can return null in some
situations] is equal to null.

Itd be good to know output something like: type firefox at your shell
and know how it was installed.

Comment #7 on issue 4193 by srk.carn...@gmail.com: Unable to create new

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4193

on centos,
we have to issue the command as
sudo java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.19.0.jar -log
SeleniumServer.log -host 127.0.0.1 -port 4444
-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="/usr/bin/firefox"

I issued sudo ,it was more about permission access .

This will straight away will enable the selenium standlone server to
invoke new session and terminate the old session successfully.
hope this helps.

Hi!

Is this issue still actual?
If so could you confirm that reason is not in permissions as it was
described in #c7 ?

@5:

your error "Timed out after 30 seconds waiting for title to

contain "GitHub � Social Coding". Current title: "GitHub · Social Coding""

said that current page title is not equal to expected.
I don't see a selenium problem in this.

I am getting the same issue in XP with selenium server 2.32 to 2.35 and
firefox version 10 to 23.
Please suggest how to solve this issue, as the same was working before one
week.

Same issue.

I have tried 2.32 - 2.35 versions and same result.
If I try to create a session manually @
http://IP:5555/wd/hub/static/resource/hub.html I get unable to create new
session.

The log shows:
