Gecko driver not launching / not found on Travis CI

[Alan Blyth]

My test's are working great locally, but I am really struggling to get them working on TravisCI, I think my problem is launching the geckodriver, this is the error i am seeing:

Running test.java.ATest

Does geckodriver exist? true

If i remove the geckodriver from the directory I get this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. The latest version can be downloaded from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apologies if this is the wrong protocol for this group. Just to say that I too have this issue. Slightly different scenario: I'm trying to use geckodriver to run selenium tests written in Java/JUnit (built with maven) on Raspberry PI 3 (Raspbian).

I have this in my unit test setUp:

wd = new FirefoxDriver();
wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

That works on Windows but I get this on my Linux box:
