Firefox webdriver needs to be replaced by Marionette from Firefox version 47.0 #1025

mariusioana · 2016-06-15T08:11:35Z

Hi,

With recent version of Firefox 47.0, selenium server latest version 2.53 does not work anymore:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37693106/selenium-2-53-not-working-on-firefox-47
SeleniumHQ/selenium#2110

So now it is recommended to just make use of Marionette to replace Firefox webdriver:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/WebDriver

Any recommendations on how to make it work now with nightwatchjs?

Thanks!

redrockzee · 2016-06-16T13:56:43Z

Firefox does not work. Neither does IEDriverServer.exe, The only driver that works anymore is Chrome.

martineez · 2016-06-16T14:07:17Z

you have to download geckodriver (there's no nodejs wrapper)

  selenium: {
    cli_args: {
      'webdriver.gecko.driver': '/path/to/geckodriver'
    }
  },
  ...
  test_settings: {
    default: {
      desiredCapabilities: {
        browserName: 'firefox',
        marionette: true,
        javascriptEnabled: true
      }
}

@martineez your suggestion got it working here for me, though the documentation should be updated (new users don't like having to skim issues for things like these)

beatfactor · 2016-06-17T12:16:43Z

I'll add this to the docs soon.

mariusioana · 2016-06-27T12:35:23Z

Thanks @martineez ! It worked. Though the problem now for is that with this new driver, following code seems to not work anymore. browser.api.execute seems that it does not work anymore to get the _initialState_ property from window object. This is a regression. Tried on Chrome the same and works nicely. Also, on older versions of FF works ok. So maybe this is a bug now? @beatfactor , any ideas? It kind of blocks me from running the tests and would really appreciate some help or guidance :). Thanks!

getSession: function(browser) {
    return new Promise(function(session) {
      browser.api.execute(function() {
        return {
          catalogUrl: window._initialState_.catalogUrl,
          accessToken: (JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem(window._initialState_.macConfig.clientId))).accessToken
        }
      }, [], function(result) {
        session(result.value);
      })
    });
  },

Error seen in session when used in debugging mode:

Excellent, it worked! Thanks @beatfactor !

same prob as @arekkas has, pass step with dowload gecko driver and specified path in configure file but error still displayed:
Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server

straris · 2016-07-25T11:52:46Z

Same here :(

ghost · 2016-08-09T14:00:20Z

@arekkas You missed the marionette: true, from martineez's config example

beatfactor · 2016-08-15T08:16:14Z

This should be closed and moved to the wiki (until we have a section on the website) Is someone who has got it working able to summarize this and create a wiki article? Thanks.

IceCreamYou · 2016-09-07T03:38:45Z

FWIW, I was able to get this working with geckodriver 0.9.0 and Selenium 2.53.1 as described above. I was not able to get it working with geckodriver 0.10.0 + Selenium 3.0.0-beta2 or with geckodriver 0.10.0 + Selenium 2.53.1.

Update: Seems to work with geckodriver/Marionette 0.11.1 and Selenium 2.53.1, although I haven't been able to get mouseButtonClick() to work in any version of geckodriver. click() does seem to work.

traviskaufman · 2016-09-07T14:49:08Z

Same here: Not able to get it working without redundantly downloading a lesser version of the geckodriver :(

naissa12 · 2016-09-09T07:02:52Z

I get the following errors when I run geckodriver with selenium 2.53

(firefox:25304): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'g_type_parent (interface_type) == G_TYPE_INTERFACE' failed
JavaScript warning: https://normandy.cdn.mozilla.net/static/bundles/selfrepair-5c0beb002c2cc297accf.57474d2dada3.js, line 7: mutating the [[Prototype]] of an object will cause your code to run very slowly; instead create the object with the correct initial [[Prototype]] value using Object.create

Does anyone get this error?

naissa12 · 2016-09-09T20:58:49Z

@arekkas what version of firefox are you using?

naissa12 · 2016-09-09T22:01:04Z

which one is that?

aeneasr · 2016-09-09T22:03:07Z

48.0.2

@arekkas what OS?

vangorra · 2016-10-09T15:19:44Z

FYI. Looks like a geckdriver is now availble through npm.

dayanamcc · 2017-02-15T16:06:11Z

how can addapt the same but into wdio.conf.js but instead of using nitghwatch using WebdriverIO
webdriverIO + selenium-server v2.53.1 and ghekodriver ???

i want something like this
selenium: {
cli_args: {
'webdriver.gecko.driver': './---path-to geckodriver--/0.13.0-x64-geckodriver'??
}
},

but into webdriverIO

this is how is working now on IE and on Chrome
services: ['selenium-standalone']

   seleniumArgs: {
      version: '2.53.1',
      drivers: {
      ie: {
          version: '2.53.1',
          arch: 'ia32',
          baseURL: 'https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com',
      },
      chrome: {
          version: '2.27',
          arch: process.arch,
          baseURL: 'https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com'
      },
      firefox:{
               should i set something here ¿? or? 
      }
    }
  },

straris · 2017-05-02T16:00:01Z

@dayanamcc shouldn't you be asking that on webdriverIO instead?
