SeleniumRC FF3.5.x-3.6 lock file troubles - selenium

With Selenium RC 1.0.1, and FF3.5.x or 3.6 I keep seeing this error when trying to run any test,
Failed to start new browser session:
Unable to delete file
\parent.lock
when running the server with either,
java -jar selenium-server.jar -multiwindow
or
java -jar selenium-server.jar
Any one found a way to run a selenium RC test against those version of FF? Here's the full stack trace,

Restarting the browser, and clearing the cache didn't help. Using FF 3.0.x works just fine.

Seems seleniumRC 1.0.2 just came out today with claimed support for FF3.6 and such. Is working for me.

I was able to fix this issue by following these instructions:
http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SRC-507
This is for an older version of Selenium, but it works just the same. I am having to use 1.0.1 (for IE compatibility) and it has the MaxVersion of FF at 3.5. It was throwing the same error as above.
I changed the various files to '3.6' and it works now.

I just downloaded Selenium RC 1.0.3, and it did NOT fix the problem for me.

/usr/local/bin/chromedriver: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error when tring to use ChromeDriver with Selenium to work on a Raspberry Pi 4?

I'm stuck trying to get my Selenium script running on my raspberry Pi 4 running with raspbian.
The script is running fine on my mac.
The problem is with setting up the webdriver. I tried installing several webdrivers, including chromedriver, geckodriver, operadriver and phantomjsdriver.
Whenever I'm trying to run the script (which I of course changed to the corresponding drivers) I'm greeted with the following error:
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: 'operadriver'
Also trying to open the driver directly from the shell is resulting in an error:
pi#raspberrypi:/home/shares/users $ chromedriver
bash: /usr/local/bin/chromedriver: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
My research found some people who got it to work, but all the posts seemed quite old. Some where suggesting the error is pointing to the cpu architecture which is armv7l/armhf in my case.
So is it at all possible to get Selenium running on a pi these days? Has anyone got this to work?
This error message with operadriver...
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: 'operadriver'
and this error message with chromedriver...
ash: /usr/local/bin/chromedriver: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
...implies that the respective OperaDriver and the ChromeDriver binaries which were invoked was not in proper format.
On your macos system you have used the following WebDriver variants:
GeckoDriver: geckodriver-v0.26.0-macos.tar.gz
ChromeDriver: chromedriver_mac64.tar.gz
where the WebDriver variants matched the underlying os architecture.
Now as you are using armv7 architecture, you have to download and use the relevant format and version of executables downloading it from WebDriver driver for the Chromium Browser
Note: It is to be noted that from geckodriver v0.24.0 onwards:
Removed
Turned off builds for arm7hf, which will no longer be released but can still be built from the source.

Microsoft Edge not visiting URL when being run by Protractor script

I am building a set of Protractor scripts to evaluate the performance of a web app.
A month ago, the tests were running in both Edge and Chrome. I stepped away from the project for two weeks, and performed a Windows OS update on my return. Since then, when running the test in Microsoft Edge, I get alternating results between 1) an unknown error where the browser never even launches (I will post the cmd output from this result below), and 2) having the Edge browser open but not visiting the base URL it is supposed to (where I am getting a timeout error after being on the Edge homescreen for 10 seconds). I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to run the script before the Windows update, so I am not certain if that is the cause, but I think it is likely. The tests continue to run correctly when operating in Chrome.
I have tried reinstalling Edge's webdriver several times and have chekced its path. I would like to roll back Windows but think this would be a hassle with our IT department, so I am wondering if anyone has found a different solution to this problem?
This is the error when the browser fails to open:

I wound up pushing Windows to version 1703 (Build 15063.540), which was easier to get approved than rolling back.
After reinstalling the appropriate WebDriver, everything is working properly with Edge. Still unclear what was causing the problem, but this seems to have worked around it.
I'm the PM for WebDriver at Microsoft. It sounds like you need to get the proper version for your build of Windows.
You can find all the releases of WebDriver here. To see what build of Windows you have just hit [Windows Key] + [R] and type "winver".

Register phantomjs node to Selenium Grid

I am currently running Selenium Grid 3.4.0 and phantomjs 2.1.1 on a windows platform.
When I try to register a phantomjs node onto my hub the following error occurs:
K:phantomjs-2.1.1-windows/bin/phantomjs.exe --webdriver=8080
--webdriver-selenium-grid-hub=http://IP:5786

RL":"phantomjs://code/main.js","stack":"global
code#phantomjs://code/main.js:85:56"}
phantomjs://platform/console++.js:263 in error
Does anyone know how to get around this error?
Currently my hub is running 5 instances of Firefox, 5 instances of chrome and 1 instance of IE.
[ERROR - 2017-06-06T14:36:23.920Z] GhostDriver - main.fail -

I ran it again and this time, that is what the error message said.
Used Phantomjs 1.9.8 and it worked...

Jenkins CLI with HTTPS

My Jenkins server was switched to now using HTTPS. However, now when trying to run jenkins-cli.jar, I get the following error:

Is there any way to use Jenkins CLI over HTTPS?
This happens, for example when I try to run even just the help command:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noCertificateCheck -s https://ncs-jenkins.cisco.com:8443/ -i /home/auto/.ssh/id_rsa help
This works for me:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noCertificateCheck -auth #jenkins_creds.txt -s https://jenkins.example.com help
(If I omit -auth then I get an expected error about the need to authenticate to the Jenkins instance, but that doesn't seem relevant to you error.)
java-version
java version "1.8.0_144"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)
Jenkins version: 2.138.3
I am wondering whether you have some other piece of equipment between your cli and your Jenkins server that cuts the connection if HTTPS cert verification fails.
I encountered the same problem on one of my jenkins slaves.
Since the slaves were supposed to be identical, I started investigating the slightest differences between the machines.
As it turns out, the java version was slightly different:
java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75.x86_64 - On the working machine
java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.85.x86_64 - On the failing one.
I reverted back to the earlier openjdk version and the problem was fixed.
Since you asked the question only a few days ago, I suspect we've encountered the same problem.
To check your version:
java -showversion -verbose 2>&1 | head -1
To install the previous openjdk version (on centos):
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1:1.7.0.75-2.5.4.0.el6_6.x86_64
If you are using a valid SSL cert.
Checkout the jenkins-cli commands returning connect timed out
PS: This is not a solution but may be a workaround until a solution is found.

what i am doing ?
Step 1: Start the hub
The Hub is the central point that will receive all the test request and distribute them the the right nodes.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you copied the selenium-server-standalone file. Type the following command:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar -role hub
Step 2: Start the nodes
Regardless on whether you want to run a grid with new WebDriver functionality, or a grid with Selenium 1 RC functionality, or both at the same time, you use the same selenium-server-standalone jar file to start the nodes.
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:44444/grid/register (here 44444 is for the environment i am working)
This is due to compatibility issues between selenium and firefox.
You need to upgrade to the latest selenium server, 2.44 at the moment.
Yes! As alec[xe suggested this is due to the compatibility issues between firefox and selenium. For firefox version higher than 30 you must use selenium 2.44 version.Here's the changelog of the selenium please take a look and decide which version of the selenium will fulfill your requirement.
