am unable to open browser using geckodriver 3.8.1 and selenium oxygen and firefox 57.0.4(32 bit) version
package Selenium_JavaFundamentals;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class opengmail {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
I am getting following error:
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 https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver.

Please note that I have loaded the gecko driver.
You need to explicitly tell it where the WebDriver is.
Like this:
package Selenium_JavaFundamentals;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class opengmail {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/path/to/geckoDriver.exe");"
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}
From some research, I came across that
WebDriver uses native browser approach. Selenium offers inbuilt driver
for Firefox but not for other browsers. All drivers (Chrome Driver, IE
driver, etc.) are built based on the special JS Engine used by each
browser.
So I suppose
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","/path/to/geckoDriver.exe");"
isn't required for Firefox after all.
What seems to be the issue here is broken Firefox installation in your machine. Scrub your current installation completely and do a fresh install of the compatible Firefox. (Optional- Also you can put the Firefox.exe path in your PATH in Environment Variables.)
For this issue, i simply downgraded my firefox browser version- 43 this issue got resolved after downgrading the browser
Set the geckodriver.exe location first before initializing the FirefoxDriver.
For selenium 3.x with Firefox
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path.to.geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Trying to run below code by disbaling ssl ccertificate using capability (capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true) via IE.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.apache.jmeter.samplers.SampleResult;
io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager.iedriver().setup()
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IE_ENSURE_CLEAN_SESSION, true);
capabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.IGNORE_ZOOM_SETTING, true);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities)
def wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
driver.get('https://google.com/');
WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart();
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(".//input[#name='q']")));
WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd();
ended up getting below error.
2020-10-11 09:43:21,585 ERROR o.a.j.p.j.s.JSR223Sampler: Problem in JSR223 script iecONFIG, message: javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: CapabilityType for class: Script63
javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: CapabilityType for class: Script63
Does anyone know how to handle SSL certificated? and run IE with headless mode?
I fail to see where do you declare the import for the CapabilityType class, you either need to add the next line:
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType
to the beginning of your script
or replace
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true)
with
capabilities.setCapability(org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true)
and I don't think you will be able to run Internet Explorer in headless mode, the only option would be running JMeter as the system service so the browser won't show up on your desktop, see Headless Execution of Selenium Tests in Jenkins article for more information if needed
I am using appium 6.1.0 which has <T extends WebElement> T findElement(By by); method on WebDriver class. Somewhere in automated tests I have following APIs -
protected String getText(WebElement element) {
return getText(element, Config.LOAD_WAIT);
}
and
protected String getText(By by) {
return getText(by, Config.LOAD_WAIT);
}
And getText method is invoked by test as -
public String getFullName() {
return getText(driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".basicDataSection)))
}
But using WebDriver class from appium dependency throws exception on getFullName method about method call being ambiguous since it matches both getText(WebElement element) and getText(By by) How is this possible since findElement return type is T extends WebElement in WebDriver class in appium dependency?
On a different note, there is also WebElement findElement(By by); API in WebDriver class in selenium-api but after adding appium dependency method in my project they have begun to refer to WebDriver class from appium dependency and not from selenium-api dependency. Unfortunately WebDriver api in both classes have same package org.openqa.selenium.
I am not sure if WebDriver class from appium and selenium-api can be used interchangeably as they have different automation purpose (i.e. mobile app and web app). If WebDriver class from appium and selenium-api can not be used interchangeably then is there a way to enforce to use WebDriver class from selenium-api dependency and not from appium dependency?
Consider using MobileElement instead of WebElement to avoid clashes with underlying Selenium API
Make sure to have only appium-java-client library in your project dependencies, Appium 6.1.0 assumes Selenium 3.12.0 so you have to use exactly this version of Selenium in order to avoid Jar Hell so I would recommend using dependency management solution like Maven or Gradle to automatically resolve Appium Java client library and all its transitive dependencies. See Code Examples -> Appium with Java for comprehensive information and sample projects
How to clear pre-filled text box value using java in appium?
I have tried all possible solution available on Internet but not works for me.
I have used .clear() and .sendKey() both method and it's working fine in Android 6.0 and below version. but it does not working after Android 7.0 or above version.
Here is my code,
driver.findElement(By.id("com.example.appName:id/text_user_name")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("com.example.appName:id/text_user_name")).sendKeys("Automation");
I'm trying to automate my android application using below configuration:
Appium-Desktop 1.7.2.
selenium-java 3.8.1
selenium-server 3.8.1
java-client 5.0.4
Yes, I also ran on this in few occasions, this is not most beautiful code, but works quite good in a pinch:
public void clearTxt(WebElement element) throws Exception{
element.click();
element.sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL + "A"); //select all
element.sendKeys(Keys.DELETE);
}
or
element.sendKeys("")
or
Actions navigator = new Actions(driver);
navigator.click(element)
.sendKeys(Keys.END)
.keyDown(Keys.SHIFT)
.sendKeys(Keys.HOME)
.keyUp(Keys.SHIFT)
.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE)
.perform();
one of this should be enough...
I made a set of tests of IU with Selenium, creating for it a Class Library, when integrating it with VSTS, what should I do so that the tests run when I build it?
If it is the .net test project, you can refer to this article: Get started with Selenium testing in a CI pipeline
Simple steps:
Create a Unit Test project
Add Selenium.WebDriver, Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver, Selenium.WebDriver.IEDriver, Selenium.Firefox.WebDriver, Selenium.WebDriver.PhantomJS.Xplatform packages to your project
Coding
Sample:
namespace Partsunlimited.UITests
{
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using OpenQA.Selenium.PhantomJS;
using System;
[TestClass]
public class ChucksClass1
{
private string baseURL = "http://your-website.azurewebsites.net/";
private RemoteWebDriver driver;
private string browser;
public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }
[TestMethod]
[TestCategory("Selenium")]
[Priority(1)]
[Owner("FireFox")]
public void TireSearch_Any()
{
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(this.baseURL);
driver.FindElementById("search - box").Clear();
driver.FindElementById("search - box").SendKeys("tire");
//do other Selenium things here!
}
[TestCleanup()]
public void MyTestCleanup()
{
driver.Quit();
}
[TestInitialize()]
public void MyTestInitialize()
{
}
}
}
Create new build definition
Add NuGet task to restore packages
Add Visual Studio Build task to build projects
Add Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment task to deploy test agent
Add Windows Machine File Copy to copy files to agent machine
Add Run Functional Tests task to run test
You also can use Visual Studio Test task to run test (Replace step 6 ~9), a blog: Running Selenium Tests as part of your release with VSTS Release Management
I am using Selenium 3.5.3 and following is my code.
I am trying to use Firefox options in the constructor as in
https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/firefox/FirefoxDriver.html#FirefoxDriver-org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions-
FirefoxOptions options=new FirefoxOptions();
options.setProfile(profile);
driver =new FirefoxDriver(options);
I am getting an error in instantiating the Firefox driver:
The constructor FirefoxDriver(FirefoxOptions) is undefined
How can I solve this?
Firefox version 55.0.3 64 bit
Geckodriver v0.18.0
Try this code:
import java.io.File;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
public class FirefoxOptionsDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "E:\\software and tools\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxProfile profile =new FirefoxProfile(new File("C:\\Users\\sys\\AppData\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\ejtrne37.QAProfile"));
FirefoxOptions option=new FirefoxOptions();
option.setProfile(profile);
// Initialize Firefox driver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(option);
//Maximize browser window
driver.manage().window().maximize();
//Go to URL which you want to navigate
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
//Set timeout for 5 seconds so that the page may load properly within that time
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//close firefox browser
driver.close();
}
}
This is the image for your reference:
The issue is due to older selenium version coexisted. mvn clean install resolved the issue.
Your problem may be related to different causes.
The common cause is a misaligned version of your firefox browser and/or gecko driver and/or selenium library.
I solved this problem upgrading gecko driver and selenium library to the latest version.
In my case, mvn clean install does not resolved the problem
Since an upgrade to current available release versions is not a doable action by many since it is not acceptable to their teams due to the impact - so they need a working fix for current in use version itself hence my answer -
I may be answering it a lot late but my solution is a workable one for this problem and I can even explain why it is workable and why above one is not workable as asked in your query -
For older selenium and gecko driver versions, the above suggested method i.e. Options class utilization used to work from Selenium 3.5 and upwards (officially) but for versions lower than 3.5 - the options class was not available, so the above suggested method does not work.
I backtracked and found that even in the most widespread popular Selenium version 3.14(which I ended up using for project specific needs, even though the current stable release is at Selenium 4.5 :D) the options class and above suggested method does not work.
So the alternative is just to replace the import of options class and utilization of any of its methods.
In my code I just used direct paths for geckodriver and firefox exe paths and then instantiated the FirefoxDriver class object via WebDriver interface and the constructor is undefined error stops troubling as it is we are not passing any argument in constructor as expected by Eclipse JVM:
Here are my exact lines of code to solve this -
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:\\Selenium Projects\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe" );
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Rest of the code remains as is originally.
The above method of options class utilization or multiple arguments in constructor are supported only after Selenium 3.6. If you use latest selenium and geckodriver, then I dont think you will run in above problem at all as I was able to see it working in the latest versions.
But sometimes we can't just upgrade to our wishes, and we need a fix in the current used versions itself, hence this solution has been suggested by me.
