Unable to open browser and URL for ie, chrome and ff

[Hansie]

Hi ,

I just installed robot framework on one of my test boxes and just gave the following command:

open browser   http://www.google.com ie

The problem is:

For ie and chrome, it is not opening the browser itself. Note: I already downloaded the IE web driver and chrome web driver included in the path
For firefox, it is opening the browser but not opening the specified url.

The test is just saying pass and not even throwing any error.

Please help!

Thanks!

Ugh

The Open Browser keyword only opens the browser. If you want some
verification that is the correct page opened you could use the Title
Should Be keyword to verify that the browser did go to the correct page.

*** Test Cases ***
open google.com ff
Open Browser http://www.google.com/ ff
Title Should Be Google

If you test do not include Close All Browsers or Close Browser keywords
(specially in Test Teardown or in Suite Teardown), you should see
process created by the browsers after the tests has been run. The
Process Explorer [1] is quite handy in this and see the attachment what
you should see.

There could be some other errors and by default the chrome driver
produces log file chromedriver.log in the working directory. It could
provide some hints if error occurs. Attachment contains my log file when
I open the Google page.

It is not even opening google,com as mentioned earlier. The URL that is mentioned in the open browser keyword has to be navigated but that is not happening. So, checking the title does not come in to picture.

I suspect a problem with selenium2library as none of the browsers (ie, ff, chrome) are working.

I did the following:

1. Removed selenium2library and installed the latest one selenium2.24
2. Removed selenium2library,installed python binding for selenium2 and reinstalled selenium2library

I am not sure what else can be done.

The interesting part is, RIDE is showing that the test case is passed. No errors are being thrown,but actually, it not navigating to the URL.  It is simply opening the browser.

Pasting my test case again

        OpenBrowser http://google.com ie

Can anyone please help. I am still stuck at this point.

Thanks!

Have you tried using Selenium from Python directly? That would help narrow down the cause.

There is a simple example in the API docs:

http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/index.html 

[wingk...@126.com]

check the ie/chrome/ff support version, it can't be the newest.

  check the path , are you using windows ?

I tried the steps mentioned be Kevin O, used Selenium from Python directly but it is still not opening any browser. Please help!

Is your FF version 36? If yes, then downgrading to version 35 and installing selenium 2.45.0 should solve your problem.
