Can't specify required capabilities

[Joord]

I'm trying to run selenium tests so that it only chooses a certain version of IE.

In WebDriver.php line 65 the $requiredCapbilties array gets overwritten with a blank array, meaning that I cannot make the browser version of IE required, only desired.

This is causing issues as it is opening the wrong version of IE to run the tests on.

Thanks.

$requiredCapabilities should be an array.

$session = $driver->session(array(
    'browserName' => 'internet explorer'
));

The session() method only accepts a string for backwards compatibility (when only desiredCapabilities was supported).

Hi, still having a small problem sorry. I'm using the following line:

    $this->session = $web_driver->session(
            array(
                \WebDriver\Capability::BROWSER_NAME => $browser,
                \WebDriver\Capability::VERSION => '9'
            )
    );

However I'm getting the error:

WebDriver\Exception\UnknownError: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to java.util.Map

I don't recall this being a problem before, but I was able to reproduce your error with selenium server 2.35.0. I'll take a look.

A temporary workaround is:

    $this->session = $web_driver->session(
            array(
                \WebDriver\Capability::BROWSER_NAME => $browser,
                \WebDriver\Capability::VERSION => '9'
            ),
            array(
                \WebDriver\Capability::BROWSER_NAME => $browser,
                \WebDriver\Capability::VERSION => '9'
            )
    );

Should be fixed now.
