WebDriver Error - INFO: I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

[Simon Latinwo]

selenium-server-standalone-2.21.0
IE 9

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to Selenium so any help would be very much appreciated. I get
my test executed but I keep getting these error message in the console:

Jun 29, 2012 10:16:18 AM org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector tryExecute
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Software caused connection abort: recv failed
Jun 29, 2012 10:16:18 AM org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector tryExecute
INFO: Retrying request

Can someone please tell me how to rectify this.

Second question:

can someone please explain to me what the benefits are to automating tests using RC when web driver seems equally capable, efficient and easier to work with?

Thanks a mill
Simon

At a quick glance it looks like a network issue. Does it happen every run?  Do other tests work fine?

 

Showing us your test code would probably result in more useful answers.

 

If you are using the WebDriver API don’t bother with the RC API, it’s the old one and is effectively deprecated now.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for as speedy reply. Yes it does happen on every run and yes all test work fine but I get the error before the console log.
Please find attached the test code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;


public class kdf1 {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
       
        //My variable or test data
        String vURL, vText, vGetText, vAttribute;
        long vSleep;
        String vXpath;
       
        // Initialising my data and objects
        vURL = "http://www.google.com";
        vXpath = "//*[@id='hplogo']";
        vText = "something";
        vAttribute = "value";
        vSleep = 2000;
       
        WebDriver myD = new InternetExplorerDriver();
       
        //navigate to a specific URL
        myD.navigate().to(vURL);
        Thread.sleep(vSleep);
       
        // SENDKEYS - find element and send text into it
        vXpath = "//*[@id='gbqfq']";
        vText = "selenium webdriver";
        myD.findElement(By.xpath(vXpath)).sendKeys(vText);
        Thread.sleep(vSleep);
       
        // CLICK - find element and click
        vXpath = "//*[@id='gbqfb']";
        myD.findElement(By.xpath(vXpath)).click();
        Thread.sleep(vSleep);
       
        // GETTEXT - find element and get text out of it
        //vXpath = "/html/body/div[4]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/span";
        vXpath = "//div[@id='ab_name']";
        vGetText = myD.findElement(By.xpath(vXpath)).getText();
        System.out.println("Text 1 is " +vGetText);
        Thread.sleep(vSleep);
       
        vXpath = "//*[@id='resultStats']";
        vGetText = myD.findElement(By.xpath(vXpath)).getText();
        System.out.println("Text 2 is " +vGetText);
        Thread.sleep(vSleep);
       
        // GETATTRIBUTE - find element and get a value of a certain attribute out of this
        vAttribute = "value";
        vXpath = "//*[@id='gbqfq']";
        vGetText = myD.findElement(By.xpath(vXpath)).getAttribute(vAttribute);
        System.out.println("Text 3 is " +vGetText);
       
        //wait
        vSleep = 2000;
        Thread.sleep(vSleep);
       
        // CLOSE - close the WD or browser
        myD.close();
       
       
       
    }

}


Thanks

It's not a problem with code and it's not ERROR - it's just INFO.

Test code looks sane (apart from the use of thread.sleep) so I wouldn’t worry about it.

[Simon Latinwo]

Thanks Maxim and Mark, I agree with both comments and very much appreciate you guys. I can now move on with the rest tutorial. Cheers guys.

We've answered this question several times before. The IE driver creates an HTTP server that the language bindings use to communicate with the driver. Launching this server takes a short period of time. With the Java bindings to the IE driver, there's a race condition where the Java HttpClient class polls to wait for the HTTP server to be initialized. The informational message you're seeing is when the client polls before the server is ready. It can safely be ignored.

Thanks Jim, much appreciated.

Richard,

Perhaps it is time that you enabled logging for the IEDriverServer binary, retried the same thing again and help furnish the IEDriverServer's logs.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Jim,

You have mentioned many times that the reason for getting this error, but we did not get solution for this yet. Can you provide me the right solution if you have?

Thanks in advance,

Sreenu Lekkala

[Jim Evans]

It's a non-error. There is no need for a "solution". If your framework regards informational log messages as errors, your framework is broken. If it's just that the Eclipse console formats the message in red, and you're conditioned to automatically think "red == bad" maybe you ought to be checking content instead of format. You might try changing the logging level on the driver, but I don't know if that will work, and don't know how you'd set it in Java. For further information: http://jimevansmusic.blogspot.com/2012/12/seeing-info-messages-in-log-does-not.html

[Mark Collin]

It's not an error it's an info message, the first time it tried to connect it couldn't so it tried again.  This is quite normal when working with applications that talk to each other over a network connection, there is nothing to do here.

I get the same error running the IE driver as java code in eclipse. Is there a way to stop the race condition from happening? My app works once in thirty.
