I have started learning Selenium WebDriver. I have noticed issue like given url not take after firefox browser launched. Please help with the resolution
WebDriver version: 2.53
Firefoxe :48.0
public static void main(String args[]) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");
I see below error
org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output: ,"syncGUID":"0Sec7gq34_7U","location":"app-global","version":"48.0.2","type":"theme","internalName":"classic/1.0","updateURL":null,"updateKey":null,"optionsURL":null,"optionsType":null,"aboutURL":null,"icons"
You need to provide the gecko dirver in the environment variables. You can get the exe from here
set it like this
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("www.google.com");
}
or just add to you system environment variables
If you want to use another browser just replace the gecko with whatever browser you use. For chrome you would do webdriver.chrome.driver
seleniumhq.org has the exes for all the browsers supported by selenium

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import init.Constants;
public class TestSelenium {
private static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir")+Constants.getChromeDriver());
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am getting the error as below
Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402 (536cd7adbad73a3783fdc2cab92ab2ba7ec361e1) on port 45163
Only local connections are allowed.
Please protect ports used by ChromeDriver and related test frameworks to prevent access by malicious code.
The chrome browser is opening but the url is not coming up.
I am using
Chrome driver - 72.0.3626.69
WebDriver - 3.0
You can use bonigarcia dependency for your automation. Then you don't need to keep chromedriver.exe or setting up system variables. It will do all the configurations automatically for all the platforms and all the browsers as well.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0</version>
</dependency>
Below is a sample class to get chrome browser instance. You can modify this class as per your requirement.
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class DriverFactory {
public static WebDriver getDriver() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
return new ChromeDriver();
}
}
I have tested this with Selenium 3.14.0 and Chrome Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)
You mentioned using Chrome driver - 72.0.3626.69 but error shows Starting ChromeDriver 2.46.628402. Check if you have correct chrome driver.
The possible reasons:
Old selenium (download 3.14.xx from https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/)
older chrome driver (consider update to the latest chromedriver https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=73.0.3683.68/)
Chrome browser version mismatch (check the browser version and chromedriver compatibility at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads/version-selection)
Older Java version (latest Java version 11.0.2)
it does not open because you have not specify the path of the chromedriver.exe file
please find the below code snippet.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class TestChrome {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
// Initialize browser
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// Open facebook
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
}
}
Try to first set the Chrome driver path before calling the Chrome driver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of the exe file\\chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
Try to set chrome options:
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("--whitelist-ip *");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
Step 1: Check your browser version with your webdriver version on this page: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
Step 2: If after followed above step till you have the same issue then follows the below method:
public class TestSelenium {
private static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","user.dir");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am able to run the selenium test in our project without using System.setProperty. Not sure how it works, we have set the environment Path variable with value "C:\Akash\Drivers" where all the drivers are stored. Can anyone explain how/ this works without setting up chrome path?
public class SeleniumTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
localSettings();
}
public static void localSettings() {
// System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Akash\\Drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
Please Refer official explanation given Seleniumhq & Chrome,
How it retrieves and Work with Environment Variables :
WebDriver works with Chrome through the chromedriver binary. You need to have both chromedriver and a version of chrome browser installed. chromedriver needs to be placed somewhere on your system’s path in order for WebDriver to automatically discover it. The Chrome browser itself is discovered by chromedriver in the default installation path. These both can be overridden by environment variables.

I am trying to run my first webdriver script in eclipse. using jre1.8.0_1111.
I used the following code but it shows error.please help me with the code.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class Trial {
static void main(String[] args) {
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
String baseUrl = "google.com";
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\Naik\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
driver.get(baseUrl);
}
Error stack
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. The latest version can be downloaded from github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Download the geckodriver from the below URL and save it on your local machine.
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Then set the right path where the geckodriver.exe is saved.Moreover the set property must be used before declaring the driver!
public class Trial {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String baseUrl = "google.com";
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Users\\Naik\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(baseUrl);
}
You need to first download GeckoDriver. After that, you can either add it to the PATH variable in environment variables sections, or you can set the path using "webdriver.gecko.driver" property. Check the below article for the steps -
http://www.automationtestinghub.com/selenium-3-0-launch-firefox-with-geckodriver/
Also, please make sure that you are using the latest versions of Selenium, GeckoDriver and Firefox.
If you don't want to download geodriver, the other way is
Downgrade the Firefox browser version to 44 or more lesser and run your test.
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
Then you don't have to use gecko driver.
To downgrade firefox to lower version, first uninstall Firefox and the download and install from the link above mentioned
Not able to launch test after setting all , here is code :
public void browserSetup() throws MalformedURLException
{
DesiredCapabilities capability =DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
driver=new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(nodeurl),capability);
capability.setBrowserName("firefox");
capability.setPlatform(Platform.VISTA);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get(PageUrlReff.HomePageUrl);
}
Getting following error:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.gecko.driver system property
On the machine that is running your Selenium node please download the binaries for
ChromeDriver
GeckoDriver
IEDriverServer (Assuming your node is a WINDOWS box, if not, then you don't need this)
and make the location of these binaries available as part of your PATH environment variable. After that your automation should run fine and you wouldn't be seeing this error message.
I am using simple selenium example using Web driver classes, but the IE web driver class working fine, but the Firefox is not responding not opening browser and not throwing any error in console.
code is here
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class GoogleSearchFF {
public static void main(String args[]){
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
System.out.println("Loading Google search page");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
System.out.println("Google search page loaded fine");
}
}
selenium jar files added to classpath..
\selenium-java-2.13.0\selenium-2.13.0\selenium-java-2.13.0.jar
\selenium-java-client-driver-1.0.1\selenium-java-client-driver.jar
\Selenium Latest\selenium-server-standalone-2.13.0.jar
any jar is missing?
The code works for IE by setting proeprty INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS = true
Downgrade the Firefox version to 8 as Selenium 2.13.0 supports Firefox versions upto 8 only.
For reference check this log.
Instead of downgrading Firefox to 8,
You need to download the geckodriver.exe and set the System.property() by
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "pathTogeckodriver");
before calling WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
