Hi Kamal,

Check out this issue:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3000&

I think there are many conditions under which this can happen. If
yours is readily reproducible you might want to see about adding it to
this issue.

any update

[Mike Riley]

I believe that 2.21.0 is supposed to provide improve information as to the failure cause and it was just released today.  I am still experimenting with it.

I got this error too the other day while using Selenium 2.19 and Firefox 3.6.8. The problem persisted after upgrading to Selenium 2.21 and Firefox 11.
 
My problem occurs consistently whilen recursively navigating down all the elements from the top (html) tag down, It occurs in every web page I've ran it under so should be easily reproducable.
 
I see below that we were asked to add the issue here: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3000&
 
... but Kristian has asked that we keep that issue to Chromedriver related occurrences, so I'll log a new issue tomorrow unless can point me to an existing Firefox related issue for this error message.

You mention version 2.21.0 but your stack trace shows v2.2.1 ... is that a typo you've made or does the v2.21.0 stacktrace really say v2.2.1?

 

I can't see any more useful when it occurs under 2.21.0 either.

 

[Vince]

this copied forn trace not sure why there is a "2.2.1"

[Peter Gale]

hmmn .. I'll see what mine says tomorrow at work ... the build date looks right.

 Hopefully just a minor typo on behalf of whoever did the build then ... but I wouldn't have throught that was possible with current build tools.

It was a typo in the build.

Mike's confirmed its was a typo. I've checked the current download looks right so you might want to just re-download the jar file for v2.21.

Ravi,

You are posting on a very old thread [March 2012]

Can you please provide some additional info ?

1. Browser version and flavor ?

2. Client bindings flavor ? [.NET/Java/Python]

3. Selenium version that you are using ? [Latest version is 2.25.0]

Sample code that you are using that triggers this error ?

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Hi Ravi

I'm also facing the same issue. no mater I use remotewebdriver or not, while running code on remote machine via Jenkins (xvfb buffer.

"UnreachableBrowserException: Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died"

it happens randomly, next time you run the same code on jenkins, it works fine again, seems like, some other processes running on remote machine mights have caused it to be killed.
how to handle, because remote machine is like server, and don't have any control on other processes.
Please do share if there is any hack which have worked for you.
I'm using webdriver 2.28, FF17, Jenkins, git

Thanks,
Pooja

Fernando,

Maybe it is just me but replying to three people in the same thread, seconds apart, with EXACTLY the same text is rather annoying. This strikes me as the same as, you are at a party, you walk up to a group of people, you ask a question of the group but you look at Ravi. Before anyone can reply, you then ask EXACTLY the same question but this time you look at Pooja. You are obviously addressing the entire group. Again, before anyone can answer your question, you look at Kamal and ask EXACTLY the same question.

For example, look at Ravi, "Can someone tell me where the bathroom is?", look at Pooja, "Can someone tell me where the bathroom is?", look at Kamal, "Can someone tell me where the bathroom is?".

Ah, it just seemed weird that rather than trying to post the same reply, TO THE SAME PERSON, you posted the EXACT message as a reply to three different people.
