NS_ERROR_FAILURE in new test using old, stable code

[dkellis]

Hello,
I have a new test that's getting NS_ERROR_FAILURE after calling a
method that has been stable for months. The method works fine for
dozens of existing tests.
Previous posts suggest that this error is in conjunction with using
cookies however none of the tests use WebDriver to manipulate cookies.
Can someone please suggest a course of action here?

WebDriver Alpha 5
Windows XP Pro
NetBeans IDE 6.8 (Build 200912041610)
Java: 1.6.0_18; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.0-b13
FireFox 3.6.8

Alpha 3 showed the error so I upgraded to Alpha 5 but that shows the
same error.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

Are you running your WebDriver test as administrator? Using native events requires loading native components. This may fail when you're not the administrator.

Alternatively, you can disable the native events by calling FirefoxProfile.setEnableNativeEvents(false) (on a FirefoxProfile object you've created and you pass to the FirefoxDriver).

Hi,

Thx for replying.

I managed to correct the error i was getting.
The test that failed did 2 things :
1/ update a select element in my webpage in a 3 step process :
WebElement.click()
WebElement.clear()
WebElement.sendKeys(value)
2/ Validate by clicking a button in the page

The problem was the way that the select element was updated, and the
next click would fail the test.

Now that i update the select element from my web page using the
org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select.Select class,
everything is going fine.
Step 1 was rewritten :
Select parameterSelectField = new Select(selectField);
parameterSelectField.selectByVisibleText(value);

I hope this can help people that are having the same problem.

Rgds,

Guillaume.
