Unable to run protractor with firefox both directly connect or selenium server on latest #4182

jlin412 · 2017-03-24T17:33:59Z

I have tried running firefox on both directConnect or selenium Server.
Both failed with different error:

With directConnect, error response:

I/direct - Using FirefoxDriver directly...
Ignoring uncaught error WebDriverError: Unable to parse new session response: {"value": {"sessionId":"d81ef6c2-716d-cd40-92ed-06074e92e5ad","value":{"acceptInsecureCerts":false,"browserName":"firefox","browserVersion":"52.0","moz:accessibilityChecks":false,"moz:processID":78446,"moz:profile":"/var/folders/h_/9whk89t96qx1vg3kn2f56z9r197k29/T/rust_mozprofile.XRiJ573zqmWm","pageLoadStrategy":"normal","platformName":"darwin","platformVersion":"15.6.0","rotatable":false,"specificationLevel":0,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"page load":300000,"script":30000}}}}

With selenium server 3.3.1, error response:

I think that this was solved here: SeleniumHQ/selenium@5234b32

Updating to selenium-webdriver 3.3.1 should fix the issue

jlin412 · 2017-03-26T14:19:55Z

@benitogf Do I need to go back selenium 3.3.0? I have 3.3.1

benitogf · 2017-03-27T02:28:32Z

not sure, I made some changes to this file https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/javascript/node/selenium-webdriver/lib/http.js and got it working for v3.0.1 which is the current one here https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/package.json#L26 surely it will be fixed soon

jlin412 · 2017-03-27T20:40:00Z

@benitogf I move it back 3.0.1 selenium but I still got the same error for firefox.

pawelus · 2017-03-28T12:48:05Z

I get the same problem with directConnect and Firefox 52.0.1 (64-bit) on OS X El Capitan.

Standalone works fine though.

jlin412 · 2017-03-28T18:02:10Z

@pawelus Do you set anything else in capabilities other than browserName?

benitogf · 2017-03-29T02:00:55Z

This change works for v3.0.1 with chrome/firefox capabilities, but surely this will be fixed soon in selenium 3.3.x 👍

pawelus · 2017-03-29T06:17:18Z

@jlin412 My capabilities are as follows:

capabilities: {
    browserName: 'firefox',
    acceptSslCerts: true,
    shardTestFiles: false,
    maxInstances: 1
}

I also tried with marionette: true but that doesn't really change anything

pawelus · 2017-03-29T06:36:37Z

Did some checking in the geckodriver repo issues and they have this one:
mozilla/geckodriver#529
So our problems should be gone as soon as the new version of geckodriver will be released

jlin412 · 2017-04-10T18:27:02Z

Able to move pass to my angular site with standalone server. I see a new error now. Similar to this stackoverflow page:

Anyone see this error before and know how to resolve it?

heathkit · 2017-04-11T21:00:15Z

@jlin412 That's a known issue (angular/zone.js#616) in zone.js. Unfortunately, it breaks webdriver testing with Firefox. There is a fix, it'll go out in the next release.

heathkit · 2017-05-01T01:51:56Z

Testing firefox with Angular 2+ is fixed as of Zone.js 0.8.7. The issue with directConnect still persists, you need to use selenium standalone instead of directConnect. See #4253

makwanaparth94 · 2017-05-08T13:09:59Z

Firefox Version : 45.x,
Protractor Vesion : 5.1.1

code in conf.js:

multiCapabilities:[
{
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
},
{
'browserName' : 'chrome',
},
{
'browserName' : 'firefox',
},
]

Able to run in IE and Chrome but "not able to run my protractor test on firefox"
What is the solution?

wswebcreation · 2017-05-08T13:19:05Z

@makwanaparth94 , maybe first upgrade Firefox to the latest version and then try again

zac11 · 2017-05-22T06:44:10Z

I am currently facing this issue, where the protractor tests are failing due to error is :WebDriverError: Error: Permission denied to access property "invoke" on Mac .

System - Mac-OS-Sierra 10.12.4
FF - 53.0.3 (64 bit)
Node version - 7.7.1
Protractor version - 5.1.2
Running against an Angular 2 web app.

Here is my conf.js for the Firefox browser capabilities -

capabilities: { browserName: 'firefox', marionette: true, },

nortain · 2017-06-22T20:48:04Z

Has there been any resolution to this? I recently started trying to test firefox both on an angularJs project as well as a new project generated with angular-cli@1.1.1 and it seems like chrome runs fine but firefox gives the following error:

WebDriverError: Unable to parse new session response: {"value": {"sessionId":"b2854fcc-1505-8548-999d-d6f9f8767587","capabilities":{"acceptInsecureCerts":true,"browserName":"firefox","browserVersion":"54.0","moz:accessibilityChecks":false,"moz:processID":93595,"moz:profile":"/var/folders/b5/5kptwjxj0xsgdzw2rfs4dwyncmp_vb/T/rust_mozprofile.8H4QjAeDEvoU","pageLoadStrategy":"normal","platformName":"darwin","platformVersion":"15.6.0","rotatable":false,"specificationLevel":0,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"pageLoad":300000,"script":30000}}}}

My firefox capabilities are simply: { 'browserName': 'firefox'}

Firefox will open a new browser instance but then errors out.

System - Mac-OS El Capitan 10.11.6
FF- 54.0
Node Version: 6.9.4
Protractor: 5.1.0 & 5.1.2 (angular and angularJs projects respectively)

Both projects give the exact same error.

matt328 · 2017-08-25T11:20:30Z

I'm seeing the same problem as @nortain with
FF 55.0.2

@matt328

I've got it working with

FF 55.0.3
Node 6.11.1
Protractor 5.1.2
geckodriver: 0.18.0
Selenium: 3.5.2

but only when I use a standalone webdriver-manager.

With directConnect I get this error

I was able to run Firefox 62.0 (32-bit) in Lubuntu with your capabilities. (Needed to switch to ff because protractor didn't work with Chromium). Thanks by the way!
