Unable to run the selenium RC script with Firefox on Windows 7

[sam6]

Hi,

I am trying to run my RC script (which runs perfectly for IE ) on
mozilla 3.6 on my Win 7 machine..
After launching the browser,the script doesnot even open the
applications and hangs and nothing happens or proceeds

Can you please let me know if there is any thing required to fix this.

SelBrowser = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*iexplore","http://
abc-126");

and in hosting the RC

C:\Users\user1>java -jar C:\Selenium\selenium-server-
standalone-2.0b3.jar -port 4444 -forcedBrowserMode *firefox

thanks
sam6

Are you getting any errors? Any info from the logs?

What is the error or commands that you see in the selenium-server
window?

[sam6]

java -jar C:\Selenium\selenium-server-standalone-2.0b3.jar -port 5555
forcedBrowserMode firefox

in java code:

_browser = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*iexplore","http://
servername");

thx

[AJ]

Thats not what we are looking for.
When you execute java -jar **** server.jar -port ****, you should be
running that in a command prompt or terminal. Once you run your tests,
there will be some additional logging shown in that command prompt.
Let us know what are the last log statements that you see in this
window after your tests fail. That would help in determining the
cause.

[sam6]

My test is not ending up in failed state,the firefox browser is
launched and nothing happens further even after 10 mins

however below is the log in cmd prompt:

you do realize you have 2 sessions, check the sessions ids in the log

We will need to see your test code as well to see what you are trying to do.
It looks like you are trying to send commands to a selenium session that has
not been instantiated.

If you have received this email in error please notify postm...@ardescosolutions.com

[sam6]

I am not sending any commands to selenium session,the same code works
perfectly fine with ie browser.

Here is the rest of the cmd prompt log:

This is getting a bit like plucking hens teeth..

Can you provide your test code, so we can see what you are trying to do. It
looks like you are sending commands to a selenium session you have not
started, my guess so far would be that you either have no selenium.start()
in your test or that you do not have the path to your browser set up
correctly in your environmental variables. If I can see your test script I
can getter a better idea as to what the problem is.

Other questions would be, what are you using a robot class for, are you
trying to start a browser with selenium and with QTP at the same time? Of
course if I can see your test script I will probably be able to work all of
this out.

If you have received this email in error please notify postm...@ardescosolutions.com

[sam6]

Below is my code for your reference.
I have set the firefox path in my PATH variable.
The same script works fine with ie but never on firefox

This sounds similar to a problem I was having with Firefox on Windows 7. In my case, Selenium was trying to talk to Firefox on port 7055, but FortiClient (my company's VPN software) was already using that port. Rather than the error you got, I got an EOFError in Ruby, but Firefox's behavior was the same - a window came up and then the test hung. It might be good to run netstat -a from a command prompt and check the output for something using the 7055 port. If you don't find anything and no one else has any other suggestions, you can try systematically shutting down apps and services on your machine and seeing which one might be interfering - that's how I initially found that Forticlient was the problem for me.

browser_.type( LoginPage.TF_ID_USER_NAME, userName);

browser_.type(LoginPage.TF_ID_USER_PASSWORD, "admin");

browser_.click(LoginPage.BTN_ID_LOGIN);
Thread.sleep(3000);
}

Thread.sleep(3000);

}
}

[Mark Collin]

Can you debug it and see if browser_ in your login function is null or not.
Could be that you are losing the value of _browser when you are passing it
into the login function because it's not static.

browser_.type( LoginPage.TF_ID_USER_NAME, userName);

browser_.type(LoginPage.TF_ID_USER_PASSWORD, "admin");

browser_.click(LoginPage.BTN_ID_LOGIN);
Thread.sleep(3000);
}

Thread.sleep(3000);

}

Try this :

  SelBrowser = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",

4444,"*firefox C://Program Files (x86)//Mozilla Firefox//firefox.exe","http://
abc-126");

[Mark Collin]

Actually, looking at this again, you have never defined the selenium object.
You should be using _broswer.click() and _browser.type() in your test, not
selenium.click(). I don't see how this would have worked for IE...

Also you really don't want to use Thread.sleep in your tests..

browser_.type( LoginPage.TF_ID_USER_NAME, userName);

browser_.type(LoginPage.TF_ID_USER_PASSWORD, "admin");

browser_.click(LoginPage.BTN_ID_LOGIN);
Thread.sleep(3000);
}

Thread.sleep(3000);
