Error while trying to run test in Firefox via Selenium

[Hima Nair]

Mine is a simple code written to launch a site in Firefox browser via Selenium. Here it is:

package mypack;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class mytest {

public static void main(String args[])

{

                WebDriver driver;

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "....\\geckodriver.exe");

driver =new FirefoxDriver();

                String baseUrl = "www.google.com";

    

        driver.get(baseUrl);

}

}

When I try to run this code,I am getting this error:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

Hima,

There is no issue with your code as such.

But you haven't told us about your environment/versions etc.,

Please make sure you have the following :

• Selenium version is atleast 2.53.1
• Firefox version is 47.0.1
• Geckodriver version is 0.9.0 [ 0.10.0 if you are using Selenium 3 beta versions https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases ]

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Hima,

I guess URL you are using is creating problem for selenium.jar file.

So use https:\\ before URL.
