Firefox aborts on Channel Error in Selenium 3

[Yukti Gupta]

Hi,

Im using Firefox 48.0.1 and Selenium beta 2 jar. Firefox aborts on Channel error on the following code:

public void initializeDriver()
    {
       
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\ygupt8\\Documents\\JARs\\geckodriver.exe");
       
         
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("https://www.google.co.in");
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        driver.quit();
    }

The console print is:

Hi Yukti,
Please check geckodriver exe is of version 10.0 since beta 2 supports 10.0 gecko driver.

This code is working fine on FF 45, Chrome and IE but not on FF 48.

[A.phani chakravarthy]

Hi, Its an open issue the gecko driver is not supporting FF48. Its needs to updated to support FF48

[Vineet Kumar]

The issue is with driver.quit(). Try commenting it and it will run fine.

Here is my test code and console stacktrace

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

// System.setProperty("webderiver.firefox.marionette","E:\\Selenium\\Browser drivers.geckodriver.exe");

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","E:\\Selenium\\Browser_drivers\\geckodriver.exe");

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\Selenium\\Browser_drivers\\chromedriver.exe");

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "E:\\Selenium\\Browser_drivers\\IEDriverServer.exe");

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://www.metacube.com");

driver.manage().window().maximize();

System.out.println ("congrats! you have resumed selenium!");

driver.quit();

WebDriver crdriver = new ChromeDriver();

crdriver.get("http://www.metacube.com");

crdriver.manage().window().maximize();

System.out.println ("congrats! you have resumed selenium!");

crdriver.quit();

WebDriver iedriver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

iedriver.get("http://www.facebook.com");

iedriver.manage().window().maximize();

System.out.println ("congrats! you have resumed selenium!");

iedriver.quit();

}

}

This was tracked by https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/210
and fixed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1051567.

The fix is available in Firefox 49 or later.

[Vineet Kumar]

Doesn't seem so. I am using FireFox 49.0.1 and this issue is still there.

[anemuday]

I think when we have to work on FF>=48, better switch to Selenium 3 Beta.

I ran couple of tests on FF48 using Selenium 3, didnt seen any issues.

Thanks,

Uday

49.0.1 might have been released before that patch was uplifted. I
would recommend using Nightly when working with geckodriver and
Marionette.

[Dave Teply]

I am also experiencing this.  Selenium 2.53.1 (I am stuck using Java 7 at the moment) with FF 55.1.0

[Rahul Pandya]

Got error with FF51.1.0 32 bit. I'm using Selenium jar 3.0.1 and Java 7.

[Gina Bennett]

Me too!

[Geetha Pulivarthi]

Even with Selenium 3.2 also I am getting the same error, if I use driver.quit() in my program.. there is no error if I use driver.close()....but with driver.close() the browser will not be closed.

[Harish Kumar]

Use Selenium 3.2.0.jar and install gecko driver.exe from seleniumhw.org site.

copy this code  and change the path of gecko driver.

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

     driver=new FirefoxDriver();

      .
and then execute.it should work successfully.

Yes, I have installed geck driver from seleniumhq.org

and used

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

     driver=new FirefoxDriver();

no luck with this also...

Hi there

this does not seem to work for quite a while, see
https://github.com/robotframework/Selenium2Library/issues/676
which covers more or less the same topic....
