New issue 1242 by fenton...@gmail.com: Selenium Server will not start any
browsers (windows xp)
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=1242
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start server as normal from bat file
2. Attempt to execute a test.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The browser of choice should show up, whether *iexplore or *chrome, etc.
Instead I get an 'error while launching browser on session null'.
However I do noticed in the output that when I have *chrome configured as
my browser I get: 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource not found:
/customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME'
and when I have *iexplore configured as my browser I
get: 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource not found: /core
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.3 (This has happened in 2.0b1 as well)
Please provide any additional information below.
This bug happens randomly after a week or so of use and I can not for the
life of me get it to work again, even after re downloading.

Can you provide the full stacktrace from the server, if available?

have you moved anything around?
/core is a package (afaik) and customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME is a folder
that firefox profile files are stored in. Not sure why you would be seeing
those errors if you are using a prebuilt jar though.

This error occurs only when i run selenium test cases from a java class as
below:
public static void main(String[] args) {
org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.main("com.selenium.test.TestSelenium");
}
This error is not occured when selenium is run from Ant script as below
<target name="test" depends="setclasspath">
<property name="myclasspath" refid="test.classpath"/>
<echo message="Classpath = ${myclasspath}"/>
<junit fork="yes" haltonfailure="yes">
<classpath refid="test.classpath" />
<test name="${test.class.name}" />
<formatter type="plain" usefile="false" />
</junit>
</target>
Please provide some inputs on this
