Serenity with htmlunit driver

[Sampath S]

I am trying to execute my scripts with Serenity I am getting the below exception.

"java.lang.ClassCastException: net.thucydides.core.webdriver.WebdriverFacade cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver"

My Code is like..

        if (System.getProperty("webdriver.driver").contains("htmlunit")) {

                   String currentURLh = getDriver().getCurrentUrl();

                  ((HtmlUnitDriver)getDriver()).setJavascriptEnabled(true);

                  java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit").setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.OFF);

                  java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("org.apache.http").setLevel(java.util.logging.Level.OFF);

My POM.xml is like..

<properties>

<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

<thucydides.version>0.9.275</thucydides.version>

<thucydides.jbehave.version>0.9.275</thucydides.jbehave.version>

<webdriver.firefox>firefox</webdriver.firefox>

<webdriver.ie>webdrivers\IEDriverServer.exe</webdriver.ie>

<webdriver.chrome>webdrivers\chromedriver.exe</webdriver.chrome>

<webdriver.htmlunit>htmlunit</webdriver.htmlunit>

<maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>

<maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>

<!-- <sonar.skip>true</sonar.skip> -->

</properties>

<build>
........

                               <systemPropertyVariables>

<webdriver.driver>${webdriver.firefox}</webdriver.driver>  

<!-- <webdriver.firefox.bin>C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe</webdriver.firefox.bin> -->

<webdriver.ie.driver>${webdriver.ie}</webdriver.ie.driver>

<webdriver.chrome.driver>${webdriver.chrome}</webdriver.chrome.driver>

<webdriver.htmlunit.driver>${webdriver.htmlunit}</webdriver.htmlunit.driver>

</systemPropertyVariables>

Can any one help me on this?

Thank you!

I forget to mention, the command used to run the tests

"mvn clean test -Dwebdriver.driver=htmlunit"

Out of curiosity, what are you trying to do here? JavaScript is automatically enabled when you choose the HTMLUnit driver, so you shouldn't need to do it by hand.

If you need to access the actual driver (which in most cases you don't), cast the driver to a WebDriverFacade and use the getProxiedDriver() method.

Thanks much John.. PhantomJS throwing stale element reference errors most of the time, so I tried HTMLUnit.
I will modify my scripts to work with PhantomJS.

If you need a headless browser I would recommend PhantomJS, as HtmlUnitDriver doesn't cope very well with modern web apps.

And as I mentioned, Javascript is activated by default in Serenity with HtmlUnit, so if you are having issues, it is more likely that HtmlUnit itself doesn't support the javascript operations on the site (which is very common).

Thank you John for the response.

All my tests are successful in Firefox browser, Now I am trying to execute the same tests using HTMLUnitDriver (head less browser).

Let me try with getProxiedDriver() method.
