Hi Mark,

You have been the role model for Selenium/WebDriver Groups. Your statements/explanations/framework helped lot of people and gave the motivation to learn new things and think of out of box. There are lot of thing to talk about.....

But, I want to say... Keep up the good work and keep going....

Thank You....

I wouldn't delete the Default profile though, unless you absolutely have screwed it up.  It does give you the option of deleting the profile from the list, but leaving the files.  Be sure that after you create the profile you want that you run it one more time and choose the default profile so that manually invoking Firefox doesn't screw up your stored profile!

I put a profile out for every major version (minor revisions should not matter) and name the directory Firefox#.profile.  I have one for Firefox 3 through 13.

Reinstall firefox because driver is not able to find firefox.exe that is why it is giving this error

Srinivas,

Since you are seeing a org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException.NotConnectedException(URL, long, String), from the code base I am guessing that, selenium was never able to spawn firefox with either the anonymous default profile (which is mostly a copy of the default profile), or a profile that was specified by you, within 45 seconds.

Here's what you can do, before retrying once again.

Invoke firefox profile manager using "firefox -p".

Remove all existing firefox profiles including the default profile [ Make sure you are deleting them off from your file system, and dont forget to take a backup of your bookmarks from your default profile]

Now retry running the code. It should work.

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Hello Srinivas,

When you upgraded the grid to version version 2.24, did you update your binaries also?

Thanks,

Naresh

[Srinivas]

Yupe Krishnan,
 
 Problem with the binaries. Thanks for your valuable information. Actually i downloaded whole selenium2.24.1 project from selenium downloads. After searching for some time in web found that firefox binaries will present in selenium-server-standalone. jar . But in selenium2.24.1 we have selenium-server.jar. So i removed the selenium-server and imported standalone server jar. Now it is working fine.

Thanks
Srinivas
