Selenium error: Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent key

[Miriam Rosenblum]

A few weeks ago my hard drive crashed and was replaced. Ever since
then
I have been unable to run Selenium which we use for testing the
application my team is developing. Selenium starts up ok but when it
attempts to bring up an IE browser window it fails and this error
appears in the Selenium log:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: exec return code 1: Error:
Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent key.
at
org.openqa.selenium.server.browserlaunchers.WindowsUtils
$WindowsRegistry
Exception.<init>(WindowsUtils.java:647)

It appears that Selenium is trying to write to the registry and
cannot.
I've checked the version of windows that I'm running and it's the same
as other developers who are not having this issue (5.1 with service
pack
3).

Any help would be appreciated.

Also have same issue.I'm working with Grid2,IE9 + proxy

Running grid from command line:

C:\Users\helleny\Downloads>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.23.1.jar -role wd -Dwebdriver.ie.driver="C:\Users\helleny\Downloads\IEDriverServer_Win32_2.23.1\IEDriverServer.exe" -hub http://192.168.67.3:4444/grid/register -nodeConfig webconfig.txt "Accept: application/json"

And how are you starting the hub? This is only the command to start the node. 

Using following webconfig:

{

"capabilities":

        [

                {

                        "browserName":"firefox",

                        "acceptSslCerts":true,

                        "javascriptEnabled":true,

                        "takesScreenshot":true,

                        "firefox_profile":"",                        

                        "maxInstances":5

                },

                {

                        "browserName":"chrome",

                        "maxInstances":5

                },

                {

                        "browserName":"internet explorer",

"maxInstances":2,

                        "platform":WINDOWS

                }

        ],

"configuration":

        {

                "cleanUpCycle":2000,

                "timeout":30000,

                "proxy":"org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.WebDriverRemoteProxy",

                "maxSession":1,

                "port": 5556,

                "host": 172.20.20.155,

                "register" = true ,

                "hubPort" : 4444,

"hubHost" : 192.168.67.3

        }

}

My Test code:

@Test  

public void RmmExplorer1Test () throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException{

try

{

String PROXY = "192.168.67.115:3128";

org.openqa.selenium.Proxy proxy = new org.openqa.selenium.Proxy();

Shouldnt you be setting tthe PROXY value to the proxy object here? 

 

DesiredCapabilities cap= DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

cap.setBrowserName("internet explorer");

cap.setPlatform(org.openqa.selenium.Platform.ANY);

cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.67.3:4444/wd/hub"), cap);

cap.setJavascriptEnabled(true);

driver.get(website);

}

catch(Throwable e1)

{

System.out.println("IllegalStateException: " + e1.getMessage());

}

}

Get following exception:

IllegalStateException: exec return code 1: ERROR: Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent key.

No Issue when working without proxy!!

Please help me to resolve the issue.

Thank You

Starting hub with following command:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.21.0.jar -role hub

Here is the last updated Test: I think i missed the PROXY row:

public void RmmExplorerTest () throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException{

try

{

String PROXY = "192.168.67.209:3128";

Proxy_New proxy = new Proxy_New();

org.openqa.selenium.Proxy proxy = new org.openqa.selenium.Proxy();

proxy.setHttpProxy(PROXY);

DesiredCapabilities cap= DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

cap.setBrowserName("internet explorer");

cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://192.168.67.3:4444/wd/hub"), cap);

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

cap.setJavascriptEnabled(true);

driver.get(website);

}

catch(Throwable e1)

{

System.out.println("IllegalStateException: " + e1.getMessage());

}

}
