IDE > Error forwarding the new session cannot find : Capabilities [{browserName=*webdriver}] #2431

nextofsearch · 2016-07-06T10:25:30Z

Meta -

OS:
hub: Mac OS X 10.11.5, node: Windows 10

Selenium Version: 2.53.1
IDE: 2.9.1

Browser Version:
Firefox 47 (and 42), Internet Explorer 11, Chrome

Expected Behavior -

Selenium IDE works just fine with Firefox or with Chrome + Webdriver playback in a standalone Selenium server. Also it works fine with a grid set-up which is comprised of a hub (Mac OS X) and a node (Windows 10) of Selenium servers when I run test cases using a ruby code and webdriver. It doesn't matter if I use chrome or internet explorer for webDriver.

Actual Behavior -

But when I use a grid set-up with Selenium IDE webdriver playback feature, it fails with the error (a log of hub) below.

@nitinsr013 Hi, is your issue relevant to this issue? If not, please create a new issue.

lukeis · 2016-07-06T15:29:20Z

@nextofsearch somewhere in your code is requesting a browser named "*webdriver" this makes no sense to the grid, it expects things like "internet explorer", "google chrome", "firefox". Please take a look at the code (since you haven't provided it here, I can't tell you why). If you require further assistance please ask on the selenium-users google group.

nextofsearch · 2016-07-06T16:06:38Z

@lukeis Hi, I only use Selenium IDE, no other code. I know it's strange that 'webdriver' is requested but again I don't use any code but Selenium IDE.

nextofsearch · 2016-07-06T16:08:25Z

I suspect Selenium IDE has a bug with Selenium grid system.

lukeis · 2016-07-06T16:18:53Z

oh my... didn't realize IDE allowed you to remotely execute WebDriver directly from it. Yep, looks like a bug with IDE, it shouldn't be specifying "*webdriver" as the browserName.

nextofsearch · 2016-07-11T02:32:55Z

@lukeis Is there any chance that someone might take a look at this issue and fix it in the near future? I am wondering if Selenium IDE is an active project or not and if I should move on to other alternatives. I will appreciate your answer.

lukeis · 2016-07-11T14:34:31Z

Selenium IDE is only maintained by one person currently and only intermittently. It could use more developers contributing to the project.

If you look at the age of other issues labeled with IDE, you'll see that the likelihood of this issue being resolved soon is not very likely.

OlegAgeyev · 2016-11-14T10:44:44Z

Have the same problem using IDE:

org.openqa.grid.common.exception.CapabilityNotPresentOnTheGridException: cannot find : Capabilities [{browserName=*webdriver}]

Is there any solution or workaround for this problem?

barancev · 2017-08-31T13:15:52Z

Selenium IDE development has been discontinued. No more new features and no bug fixes. From Firefox 55 onwards, Selenium IDE will no longer work [1]. The last supported version is Firefox ESR 52.

Yes, we've started a project to develop a new tool that should replace Selenium IDE. Follow #4406 for the progress.

Sorry this issue has not beed properly and timely addressed, and thank you for submission!
