Selenium emulation without using webdriverbackedselenium

[Mattayi]

Hi

I am using the following code in java.

        DesiredCapabilities desired_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
        WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(desired_capabilities);
        Selenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*webdriver", "http://www.google.com");
        selenium.start(driver);

So as to use both webdriver/selenium api's. But it is showing below error message

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start new browser session: com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: No webdriver session id given
    at com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium.start(DefaultSelenium.java:125)
    at com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium.start(DefaultSelenium.java:134)
    at qa.addthis.com.WebBackedSel.main(WebBackedSel.java:19)

My jar version : 2.21
Am i doing it in wrong way or selenium.start(driver) not supported in java

Thanks
Mathew

What is "*webdriver" ?

You should ideally speaking be doing this :

DesiredCapabilities desired_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(desired_capabilities);

WebDriverBackedSelenium s = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://www.google.com");

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah that case is working for me.
I was trying this http://seleniumhq.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/announcing-selenium-2-19-the-prancing-unicorn-release/
*webdriver is used instead of browser parameter with default selenium object. I don't know whether java bindings support this.

That post is likely for other language bindings besides Java (and I
believe .NET too). Java and .NET can just use the more native
WebDriverBackedSelenium.

Sadly it only works for Python (and maybe Ruby) as of now. It won't
work in PHP or Perl w/o changes to the WebDriver/Selenium RC bindings
for those languages.

That should work. Surprised that it hasn't. Do you see the same thing with 2.25?

Since 'driver' is the second argument in selenium.start you must specify it like so...

selenium.start(driver=driver)
