Test::WWW::Selenium can't start Firefox
Nigel Horne
32bit Fedora Core 12 machine. Can anyone help? I really don't know how
to proceed.
Terminal session 1: run java -jar selenium-server.jar
Terminal session 2: run a small perl script thus
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Test::WWW::Selenium;
my $s = Test::WWW::Selenium->new(
host => 'localhost',
port => 4444,
browser => '*firefox',
browser_url => 'http://www.google.com',
default_names => 1
);
The perl script fails
Fetching
http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=*firefox&2=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox.localstars.com%2F
unchanged from server.
Uncaught exception from user code:

Check whether the firefox executable path is correctly added to your
path environment variable.

path :-) )
BTW, in the FC12 machine, on which it works perfectly, /usr/bin/firefox
is also a script file, and Selenium has no problems with it there.
