Selenium version mismatch error

[rishabh27892]

I have already referred bug 2739 for this but could not find a working solution especially since my version match with the versions specified in the solutions. #2739

Hi I am facing the same issue-
"selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Profile Dir: /tmp/tmpqz86Ue If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details. "

I did not change anything with script, I read through the comments, seems like my configuration should work swiftly..
I just now changed it to:

Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Mozilla Firefox 56.0
geckodriver 0.18.0
selenium-3.7.0

Please respond, I dont see any recent comments assuming the issue is fixed for good, Kindly share the knowledge ASAP! Thanks in advance

Please provide concise reproducible test case so that we could act on this issue.

See CONTRIBUTING.md

[AutomatedTester]

That should work. If you have steps to reproduce that show its not working (and ideally please try on another machine with the same configuration)

@AutomatedTester and @p0deje -I will try to reproduce it on another machine today and will update you with whatever I find. I am actually very new to the testing world, so I will provide you guys with the reproducible test case by referring the provided link. Thanks for responding.

#I am using '#' for comments
#So here is what I did in a new machine Ubuntu was already installed in it, I double checked the Mozilla version before starting anything(54.0):

#Installations
cd ~/
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo pip install selenium
sudo apt-get install python-pytest
sudo apt-get install git
pip install unittest-xml-reporting

#Geckodriver -I have made my own copy in my repo so that I have it accessible all the time(version 0.18 is very new)
git clone https://github.com/rishabh27892/webui-test-files/
cd webui-test-files/
tar -xvzf geckodriver-v0.18.0-linux64.tar.gz
chmod +x geckodriver
sudo cp geckodriver /usr/local/bin/
cd ~/
rm -rf webui-test-files/

#Download ixautomation repo-which is the project I have been working on
git clone https://github.com/ixsystems/ixautomation/
cd ixbuild/freenas/webui-tests/

#Run the script
python runtest.py

#So it did run for firefox 54.0, but as soon as I did an upgrade, it stopped working with the same error as before
sudo apt-get upgrade
python runtest.py
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can't load the profile. Possible firefox version mismatch. You must use GeckoDriver instead for Firefox 48+. Profile Dir: /tmp/tmp9tjc27 If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details

#I double checked the version of firefox, it was upgraded to 57.0. @AutomatedTester @p0deje - Is this information useful ? I will keep my testing machine open If you want to reproduce everything. Thankyou and feel free to respond back with any further questions.

#I am basically using this, where I think may be the issue..
def webDriver():
caps = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
caps["marionette"] = False
global driver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=caps)
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.maximize_window()
return driver

[rishabh27892]

"caps = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
caps["marionette"] = False"

I tested the same thing by removing the desired capabilities because I think for Selenium3.5 and above it is there by default. It is working now!

[rishabh27892]

its selenium 3.0 and above

caps["marionette"] = False
means you're running legacy Firefox driver that can be used for Firefox versions up to 52, newer versions are not supported in legacy mode.
