Java Selenium Webdriver Connection Refused

I am getting the all too common connection refused error on my selenium webdriver. The same code was executing a few weeks ago.
I have been reading in circles through existing posts and have tried updating geckodriver and FireFox to no avail. I can run the same code on another computer running the same versions of the driver, browser and libraries etc. How can I find the cause specific to this machine? the error is below.

Debug 2

And I get this running even the following basic code.
enter code here
package seleniumPrograms;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class Gecko_Driver {
public static void main(String[] args) {

DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
}
}
Example with chrome.

Our security dept introduced a policy which blocked access to the execution of the geckodriver.exe. This was identified by attempting to run from cmd. Not sure why I didn't get the meaningful error in the IDE (blocked by group policy) for gecko, I did get this error for chrome and IE. In order to use the driver it needed to be saved in Program files though this may be specific to my situation. If you get this error for Geckodriver i would suggest trying to execute it from cmd to see if there is a policy issue.

Here is the solution to your Question:
I don't see any error as such in your code but the error stack trace HttpHostConnectException says it all.
Perform the following steps:
I don't see any necessity to use throws InterruptedException, you may consider to remove it.
As per best practices try to keep the geckodriver in convenient locations: e.g. C:\\your_directory.
Avoid using directory names with Temp.
Though you have taken help of DesiredCapabilities Class, you haven't passed it while you initiated the driver instance. You must be doing:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
Clear your Mozilla Firefox Browser cache.
From the Windows Task Manager, manually kill all the running instances of geckodriver.exe
You may require to run the CCleaner to keep off all the unwanted stuff.
Restart you machine.
Execute your Test. It should work well.
At the end of your Test Step do call driver.quit() to prevent geckodriver instances from dangling.
Here is your own working code block adding the System.setProperty line:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
System.out.println("Debug 1");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
System.out.println("Debug 2");
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
System.out.println("Debug 3");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println("Debug 4");
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.quit();
Let me know if this helps you.

I was facing the same error here. After a system reboot, the code worked just fine.
My problem was that my code left some processes open at the end, and they were using a lot of RAM.
Try running:
pkill geckodriver
pkill firefox
pkill selenium
And then run your code again.

Exception while deleting cookies with Safari 10 / Selenium 3.0.1

I'm having a problem adding and deleting cookies with the native SafariDriver in Safari 10.0: A generic WebDriverException is thrown and I'm looking for a fix or a workaround.
This is occurring with the following components:
Mac OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
Safari 10.0 [provides native implementation of SafariDriver]
Selenium 3.0.1
The following document indicates that the native SafariDriver in Safari 10 no longer requires installation of the Selenium SafariDriver extension, but depends on Selenium 3.0 or higher. And I've ensured that Selenium 3.x is being used and that Selenium 2.x is not on my system.
While testing, the browser window has the orange SmartSearch field, and throws the exception below when clicking the test window. I know the test framework is using the correct audio driver because of the following system property,and the fact that the exception thrown indicates the Selenium version as 3.0.1
The webdriver.safari.driver Mac OS X system property is set to /usr/bin/safaridriver
The following works with Safari:
driver.manage().getCookies();
The following fails with Safari, but works with Chrome
driver.manage().addCookie(cookie);
driver.manage().deleteAllCookies();
Exception stack trace for addCookie()

Try this
Declare at the global level
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 5);
Before selecting option from Drop-down
// while the following loop runs, the DOM changes -
// page is refreshed, or element is removed and re-added
wait.until(presenceOfElementLocated(By.id("container-element")));
// now we're good - let's click the element
For selecting option from Drop-down.
driver.findElement(By.id("foo")).click();

You can use:
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.refreshed(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(Element)));
Please verify and let me know if this is working fine for you...

Unable to locate element though it is visible in WebPage

I am doing Selenium Webdriver automation using Java.
Please find the attached HTML extract of a web page http://1drv.ms/1CMtRxd and find the UI of the same http://1drv.ms/1JzXarv.
From the html, understand that all UI elements are constructed within a Table and the issue identified here is, unable to find the elements which are present in Right hand side table.
However, there is no issue on locating and using the elements present on left-hand side table within automation scripts.
Could you advise what is the difference between these two tables and why I’m unable to find the elements of Right hand side table during playback.
Also, could someone kindly help me to resolve this issue, please.
Please find the code extract:

This could be an ajax element. Element is visible after a while.
What is the return value of-:
trackingID.isDisplayed();
This could be avoided by Implicit wait
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
or by WebDriver wait
new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(trackingID));
Hope that helps

Selenium Safari Time out using findElement.sendkeys

I am trying to test my website with Selenium on Safari using Eclipse Luna.
My website uses Login with Twitter.
When I try to send key to an input on api.twitter.com I have a timeout.
Note that I have already tried "send keys" on google using the wiki page of Selenium even on www.twitter.com and it is working fine.
I do not understand why it is not working on api.twitter.com.
I thought the problem was my website, then I tested the same code on another website also using twitter authentication and I had the same error.
I even tried using javascriptExecutor to fill the value of the input and I also had a time out.
Could anyone please help me?
Please find below my code and the trace I have in my console.

You're trying to send the email and password to the same field there aren't you?
driver.FindElement(By.Id("username_or_email")).SendKeys("TwitterUsername");
driver.FindElement(By.Id("password")).SendKeys("password");
This works fine for me.
However be careful as the page behaves differently if it detects you are logged in to twitter already. You get a popup with some dialog welcoming you.
