Web Driver Plugin - Cannot find firefox binary in PATH.

[Mike]

Hi all,

I'm using Jmeter 2.11, jdk1.7.0_7, Firefox 26.0, WebDriver plugin 1.1.3

Error i faced:

 ERROR - jmeter.threads.JMeterThread: Test failed! org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed.

my Environment variable: 

%PATH%;D:\Mozilla Firefox\;

* Firefox's folder is in the PATH

Test script that i ran was the one in the webdriver documentation. 

I faced this issue in maven/Java for webdriver too but there is a workaround which is to manually change the JVM instance System properties that is:

System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin",D\:\\Mozilla Firefox\\Firefox.exe));

Is there a equivalent function as the one above for the Web Driver Sample or is there a workaround for this. 

Any suggestion will be appreciated, Thanks

Hi Mike,

You can set "webdriver.firefox.bin" by at least 2 ways:

1. Pass it via "-D" command-line argument as follows" jmeter
   -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="D:/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"
   
   
2. Or add a line to system.properties file which lives under /bin folder of your JMeter installation 
   webdriver.firefox.bin="d:/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"
   
   

See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for comprehensive information on manipulating different JMeter property types. 

Hope this helps.

Apologies, it should go without quotes and trailing ".exe" for Windows systems. 

Correct property would be

 

webdriver.firefox.bin=D:/Mozilla Firefox/firefox
