Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser

[Stephane]

Hi,

I get an error message, out of the blue. I did nothing between the
previous test run and this one.

The command "svn status" return nothing, showing I did nothing to the
code base.

Here is the message I get:

Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start new browser session:
Error while launching browser

I run the test using the following commands...

Starting the server:

mvn clean selenium:start-server -Pselenium -Ddebug=true

Checking for port use:

netstat -an | grep "4444"

If the server is not started then the above command returns nothing,
otherwise it returns the following response:

tcp6 0 0 :::4444 :::*
LISTEN
tcp6 1 0 127.0.0.1:35412 127.0.0.1:4444
CLOSE_WAIT
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:35414 127.0.0.1:4444
TIME_WAIT
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:4444 127.0.0.1:35412
FIN_WAIT2

Running the test:

mvn clean test -Dtest=com.thalasoft.webtest.website.UserLoginTestCase -
Ddebug=true

The full error exceptions is:

Have you:

 

·         Updated FireFox?

·         Changed your FireFox profile?

·         Run the test as a user that doesn’t have permission to run FireFox?

 

Regards

hi..i also faced with the same problem...just try changing the port no...which server r u using and is it running in 8080?try changing the selenium server port no to 4449 or 4448...

[Stephane]

Thanks for your replies. In fact, it now works. Out of the blue.

And I don't know why for I have done absolutely nothing.

So, I suspect it could be related to my localhost server and my connection to the internet.

Indeed, when I want to start my http server at localhost, depending on if I'm connected to the internet or not, I have to slightly edit the file /etc/hosts which contains:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       stephane-laptop
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

and change only the first line to have either:

127.0.0.1       localhost

or

127.0.0.1:80       localhost

Otherwise the http server refuses to start at localhost.

Maybe, it is something that bugs the Selenium server..

[Stephane]

No, I have not updated Firefox, nor changed  the profile (I don't know what that is in fact).

And yes I run the Selenium server and client both with the same bash user, my own user in fact, as always.

[Stephane]

What version of Selenium are you using ?

As of now I'm using:

[Stephane]

I have succeeded in updating my version of Selenium.

It now works fine with the following:
