I'm using the serenity 1.1.42 version and I would like to run my test cases in different versions of Firefox. To do that, I try to set where is the Firefox binary file, because I'm using Mac OS, but serenity always starts with the default installed version on mi computer, the last.
What I have tried? I put into the serenity.properties file this different combinations:
webdriver.firefox.driver=/Users/myuser/Applications/Firefox55.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
In other execution:
webdriver.firefox.preferences="firefox.binary=/Users/myuser/Applications/Firefox55.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin"
In other execution:
webdriver.driver=/Users/myuser/Applications/Firefox55.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
In one more execution:
webdriver.firefox.bin=/Users/myuser/Applications/Firefox55.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
But no one of this configurations worked for me. How should I configure the serenity.properties file to run my own version of Firefox?
Thank you in advance.
I solve how to pass the Firefox binary. I should pass as argument in the execution:
-Dwebdriver.firefox.bin=/Users/myUser/Applications/Firefox44.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin
But, two things to have in mind:
It is important not used with geckodriver, because selenium 3.0, or higher, cannot work with old Firefox versions.
I cannot set this property from the serenity.properties. It is ignored.

I have a strange problem, which I'm unable to solve for sometime. I have a selenium WDS for Firefox browser. I tried to execute the code in JMeter UI, everything works fine. But when I try to execute the same in a server (using XVFB driver), I get the error:
rm="sun.org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: Can't find method org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.executeScript(string,org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement). (<Unknown source>#17) in <Unknown source> at line number 17"
All the required drivers are the same as the one I locally try. Yet, I get the error only when I run in the server but not locally. Please help
Most probably you have different versions of either WebDriver Sampler or dependency libraries, I don't see any other ways for the same script to work on one machine and don't work on another.
Install the same version of JMeter onto both machines (use JMeter 3.2 or later, whatever is available at JMeter Downloads Page)
Install latest version of the WebDriver Sampler plugin using JMeter Plugins Manager
Your test should now be running fine.
I have installed the selenium ide 2.5.0 add-on for firefox and after exporting the test case as Java/JUnit 4/ Web Driver. When I try to execute it with JUnit testing I always get exceptions when some class from selenium is not found. I have used selenium-api-4.2.0.jar and selenium-server-stendalone-2.42.2.jar. Than I have also tried switching from selenium-api-4.2.0.jar to selenium-api-2.42.2.jar but there always a class missing.
Which is the correct selenium-api and selenium-server-stendalone Jar to use for the 2.5.0 IDE?
Thnx in advace
This graphic in the documentation shows you how all the jars relate to each other. The selenium-server-standalone by itself contains all of those and all the dependencies.
Selenium IDE does not export code that uses the Selenium-RC API, it only uses Selenium WebDriver API.
Generally, unless you are doing something very particular, you want to use the latest stable release of everything.
If you still have problems, have a read through this, post your code, post your error messages.
I am facing problem installing Watir. I've followed all the necessary steps given in watirbook.pdf. I've also installed the necessary extensions like IEDriverServer & ChromeDriver but i'm still having issues with both of the browsers, as shown below in screen capture.
It's completely working fine with Firefox.
As Justin suggested you should download the IE driver/Chrome driver then extract the zip file and place the executable in your ruby path. In general the ruby path would be C:\Ruby193\bin.
I've been recording/writing Selenium html scripts using the SelBlocks extension. Now we're going to use Selenium server to run the tests in different browsers.
I tried getting the javascript from the SelBlock xpi by extracting it and reference that javascript in my selenium server bat file. When I try to run my bat file with referencing the javascript, i got the error "Line: 777 Error: 'XML' is undefined" when I run it in Internet explorer. This happens as the test script is loaded in TestRunner.
When I try to run it in Firefox, TestRunner hangs just prior to running the script.
i'm using Selenium Server 2.1, Firefox 5 and IE8.
Selblocks is only supported for Selenium IDE. See note about "no language translation" here: Selblocks documentation. Although automated translation would be an interesting area of investigation...
I've tried the same thing (Firefox 4.0, Firefox 7.0, selenium-server-2.0.5.jar, SelBlocks 1.3 installed as a firefox plugin).
Since the -userExtensions way didn't work for me, I installed SelBlocks 1.3 in the firefox profile I use with -firefoxProfileTemplate and -htmlSuite. It looks like selenium server doesn't do anything.
After more than a minute I have:
so even the selenium elapsed timer doesn't tick, and no line gets executed.
My simple test case is here.
Looks like I can't use SelBlocks with selenium-server[version].jar for now?
ANNOUNCEMENT: SelBlocks 2.1 now includes support for Selenium Server. Get the extension file here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/refactoror/SelBlocks/master/user-extensions.js
Initial browser support is for firefox, googlechrome, and opera.
I am using selenium-server , selenium rc for UI testing in my application . My dev box is Windows with FireFox 3.5 and every thing is running fine and cool. But when i try to run selenium tests on my build server which is a linux box , i get this error
Caution: '/usr/bin/firefox': file is a script file, not a real executable. The browser environment is no longer fully under RC control
basically the selenium-rc is not able to find the firefox executable on linux(actually its a .sh file here), which is present in the case of Windows .
Has anyone faced this error before. Please let me know for any pointers.
Thanks for any help

Thanks!

This is occurring because Selenium wants to start the FireFox binary directly, rather than delegate to the normal launch script. Before checking for "firefox" (which is a script on many installations), it checks for "firefox-bin". You can circumvent this problem by creating a link named "firefox-bin" that points directly at your desired version of the firefox binary.
This is described under "Ubuntu fix" (though it actually applies to other Linux'es as well) in the Cucumber Wiki at:
https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Setting-up-Selenium/612fae3f39528be39594d145ec12a4747855e030
Hey, I have Selenium running on Karmic with no issues. I can't quite remember how I did it, but I think it was a case of grabbing a more recent version ot the selenium-rc-serve.jar.
I also remember looking at this post: http://tero.tilus.net/rutinat/2009/08/18/cucumber-running-selenium-on-debian-lenny/
Hope something there points you in the right direction!
