[Debanjan-B]

Meta - getPlatform() method and map.get("platform") method returns different results for capability Platform through geckodriver.

cap.getPlatform().toString() returns Platform as XP while map.get("platform") returns Platform as ANY

Through 895 @andreastt confirmed it's a Java Client issue.

OS: Windows 8 Pro, 64 bit

Selenium Version: 3.5.2 (Java)

Selenium Binding: Java

GeckoDriver Version: 0.18.0

Browser: Mozilla Firefox

Browser Version: 55.0.2

Expected Behavior - getPlatform() method and map.get("platform") method should return same result for capability Platform through geckodriver.

Actual Behavior - getPlatform() method and map.get("platform") method returns different results for capability Platform through geckodriver.

Steps to reproduce -

Minimal Code Block:

package demo;

import java.util.Map;

import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class WEBDRIVER_Platform
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		String attribute = "platform";
		System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
		WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
		Capabilities cap = ((RemoteWebDriver) driver).getCapabilities();
		System.out.println("Platform is : "+cap.getPlatform().toString());
		Map<String, ?> map = cap.asMap();
		Object value = map.get(attribute);
		System.out.println("Key : " + attribute + " Value : "+ value);
	}
}

@barancev I am sorry, I think initially I tagged a wrong issue reference from the geckodriver queue in the description. Now corrected it. Thanks
