cant get SRC to run

[Christian Kreutzer]

Hi,

im new to selenium and wanted to give selenium-rc a try since it sounds very promising. Unfortunately i cant get it to run in either interactive mode nor with the sample ruby/python scripts.

by doing the *' cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=*iexplore&2=http://www.google.com'* cmd in interactive mode i get the following java exception:

---> Requesting http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver?cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=*iexplore&2=http://www.google.co

Ian, this bug [SRC-11] should now be fixed in the new 0.7.1-SNAPSHOT.
Please give it a try and let me know how it goes

http://www.openqa.org/selenium-rc/download/selenium-remote-control-0.7.1-SNAPSHOT.zip

If others can confirm that things are working better, this -SNAPSHOT will
become the new 0.7.1 release.

This issue [SRC-10] is a little better in the new 0.7.1-SNAPSHOT as well,
but only by improving the error message slightly... Firefox still needs to
appear in the standard location, or on the PATH, or in a directory you
specify.

Good luck!

oh, i forgot to tell that i use a german windows xp. iexplore is in its standard location (c:\programme\Internet Explorer\) but this path differs in the localized windows versions from the english ones... could that be the problem?
