I'm trying to follow the WebDriverIo tutorial at http://webdriver.io/guide.html .
After setting up the Selenium server, when I try executing the test node script (step 7 in the tutorial), selenium warns me of some errors (see screenshot for full log), and I don't get any output returned.
Steps to reproduce:
I start the Selenium server
When I try running the node script, this happens (clock to zoom):
At this point a Firefox window opens automatically, and remains blank.
I'm running Firefox v52 and Selenium 3.0.1. I downloaded Geckodriver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Any obvious thing that I'm missing? I'm very new to Selenium and browser automation, forgive the generic input :)
If you have been here to get your Windows release of gecko driver : https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases, you may have miss this message :
"IMPORTANT: If you use geckodriver with Selenium, you must upgrade to
Selenium 3.3 since this release aligns HTTP responses with the
WebDriver standard."
(I can see you are in v3.0.1).

I am facing a very slow response when running my scripts on IE11. Sometimes, I get FocusWindowsClosed, ElementIsNotClickable. I have changed the zoom settings for all zones, created feature BFCACHE for IE in feature control, added capabilities into my code but nothing works for me. If anyone has any idea why I am facing this issue. Do i need to downgrade window or IE versions? I have also downloaded the same version of selenium client server with same IEDriver which is (3.8.0).
To start with, Selenium v3.8.0 of 2017-11-30 is more then 2 years older. Even the error trace logs would be difficult to debug. So as per best practices you may like to:
First of all, the fact that ...64-bit IEDriverServer executable populate the input fields with the character sequence very slowly as compared to 32-bit IEDriverServer executable.... is a known issue.
You can find a detailed discussion in IEDriverServer sends text very slowly using Selenium to the search field
Ensure the Internet Explorer Protective mode setting are properly configured.
Ensure the Zoom level is properly configured.
Ensure ignoreProtectedModeSettings is properly confugured.
Ensure setting up selenium to work with internet explorer.
Ensure FEATURE_BFCACHE is properly confugured.
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.141.59.
Upgrade IEDriverServer to latest IEDriverServer v3.150.1 level.
Note: As per best practices as Selenium Client and InternetExplorerDriver are released in sync and you must try to use both the binaries from the same major release.
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Execute your #Test.
Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
tl;dr

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 had redhat Linux server command line but there is no GUI for that and I need to run selenium code on this server with firefox. As I am new to selenium so I am not sure whether it will work or not.
For achieving this I had install Firefox on my Redhat linux machine successfully but not able to trigger that as it is showing no display found.
Is there any other way to achieve this for headless browsing, where virtually a firefox will be opened and selenium code can be executed without GUI. Is it possible to do??
You can use HtmlUnitDriver of selenium to use headless browsing but it will not open firefox and may be not loading all content to it's cache as same as firefox
Refer Below:-
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/HtmlUnitDriver
Another thing you can use is Phantomjs with selenium Webdriver. This is most using pattern by industries for headless browsing
Refer below:-
http://www.guru99.com/selenium-with-htmlunit-driver-phantomjs.html
Yes you can trigger selenium file using command line
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/testng/testng_executing_tests.htm
Bash file is running fine in windows for testng but it is not working in linux/mac
Now if still your firefox is not opening then it is basically issue of some setting with your OS with firefox
Refer that too :-
https://serverfault.com/questions/279036/open-terminal-via-ssh-run-firefox-display-not-found
May be you have problem with some permission in red hat
Hope it will help you :)
I have a problem with Selenium under Jenkins 1.446 together with Xvfb: It looks like firefox is started correctly because I let my failing tests record screenshots. These screenshots all show the same failing page, which in my case is the starting page where the tests should begin. So I gues the selenium WebDriver commands do not arrive. What could be the reason? By the way, the tests are running perfectly on my local machine.
I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 with no specific test profile and no AddOns, Ubuntu 10.04, Senlenium 2.16.1
Log entry: com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: Timed out waiting for action to finish
Thanks!
EDIT: Issue seems to be fixed by a system reboot ...
I experienced a very similar issue with FF9.0.1 and Selenium 2.16.1 running through JUnit launched by Maven SureFire plugin run by Jenkins on a WinXP node.
2.17.0 fixed the issue for me. Try updating to the latest Selenium.
Through RDP, I was able to watch the tests running. The tests appeared to be partially blocked by a prompt from Firefox asking about collecting anonymous usage statistics. Manually answering the prompt would allow the test to continue but because Selenium creates a new profile each time by default, the prompt would return on the next browser launch. Running the tests locally with a pre-configured FF profile allowed me to persist that the prompt had been answered. This isn't possible on my XP node because the tests are running as 'System'.
Selenium/WebDriver would normally take care of this for you by marking the prompt as already answered in a temporary FF profile configuration but a bug was causing the value to be set to the wrong value. You can inject a profile configuration to the Selenium FirefoxDriver driver to pragmatically configure stuff like this prompt but the bug appeared to prevent this as well. This has been resolved in Selenium 2.17.0 (http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/java/CHANGELOG see 2.17.0 WebDriver bug fixes).
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.
