I restarted working on an older rails project today. One problem driving me crazy is that I can't get my javascript test cases to run, although I remember them all passing when I left the project. I am using
selenium-webdriver 2.25.0
capybara 1.1.2
cucumber 1.2.1
but firefox doesn't start when I run the tests. All I get is
unable to start Firefox cleanly, args: ["-silent"]
(Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError)
I guess this is because of updating firefox and I tried to install several older versions but none of them works. Which version is supported by selenium-webdriver 2.25.0?
Yes, this is annoying. I just upgrade the driver and it usually does the trick:
bundle update selenium-webdriver
Selenium Webdriver 2.25 supports Firefox up to version 17

Previously I was using Selenium version 2.53 with Firefox version 40.0.1. But now Firefox is updated and I am trying to do with updated version.
So, respond me about "which Selenium JAR is compatible with Mozilla Firefox version 59.0.2 (32-bit)"
As per best practices you must adopt any one from the below mentioned configurations:
I need launch Firefox browser with selenium 3.3.0 version.
Is any way to launch without geckodriver ?
For Selenium 2.x later versions it is mandatory to use gecko-driver for Firefox browser. If you don't want to use gecko-driver use selenium 2.x(2.53) version
It was working fine before, now whenever I run the script it just opens Firefox then does nothing. It works when running with chromedriver though.
Tried updating gems etc, but no success.
The latest Firefox version will no longer work with the legacy Firefox Driver. To use Watir with Firefox 48+ you need to download geckodriver and follow the instructions for Ruby.
Since Geckodriver is not yet feature complete, you most likely will want to continue using the legacy Firefox Driver, which means either using Firefox ESR or downgrading to Firefox 47.0.1.
I am currently working on Selenium Grid to automate cross platform functionality and using selenium-server-standalone-2.31.0.jar. When i am using Firefox 22.0 it is working properly but not supporting Firefox 27.0. I have tried with selenium jar version 2.37 ,2.38 and 2.39 but the issue still exists. Which version of selenium-server-standalone jar supports latest Firefox versions ?
I was trying on Firefox 27.0. Selenium grid doesnt support it. I just tried on other browser versions and it's working.
I have a client who had a script working and now stopped working. I run it in my computer and it works (i runned it on Linux and Windows). My client runned it on Mac and Windows.
I am new to Selenium, but the part of the code that crashes is where Selenium takes place, it gets the Firefox to open but not load the page. I think it migth be a problem with the webDriver of Selenium that must be updated.
I told him to install pip in his Mac and uninstall Selenium and reinstall it, is this how it is done in OS machines? Is there any issue related to my problem?
Thanks
It would be helpful if you had specify Selenium version and also which browser are you using and it's version too. But the behavior you described seems to be caused by having newer version of browser which the Selenium version you using doesn't support. So upgrading to newest version of Selenium (2.35) will likely make this problem disappear.
