My distro doesn't provide a 'selenium' package
$ apt search selenium p libtest-www-selenium-perl - Perl test framework using Selenium Remote Control i A python3-selenium - Python3 bindings for Selenium p qunit-selenium - Run QUnit tests through Selenium WebDriver p ruby-selenium-webdriver.
I've tried this and this approaches and the browser does get invoked successfully. This is my code.

My problem is uncommenting any of the imports breaks because java has no idea what a selenium is. How do I add it? Linux Mint.
Go to https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads page
Depends on your Chrome version, Download Linux chrome driver zip package
Unip package and locate under any folder that is in system PATH or add your folder to PATH
Go to https://www.selenium.dev/downloads/ and download Selenium Java package and locate it under your project's library package(depends on your project/IDE settings)
Welcome. There is a lot going on in your quesrion: intelij; Java class paths; import statements.
I recommend tackling it one at a time.
copy the java example on selenium.dev doco page.
Run commandline javac.exe directly javac command examples (code Java.net) look for the 'Compile a source file which depends on multiple libraries' example. NOTE: the import statements are class references... Don't use the filename (is different to python).
Search Web for how to configure classpath for intelij.
My Code :

Please follow the below steps to add the Chromedriver.exe
Right Click on your Selenium Project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External Class Folder
Note: kindly cross-check the chrome driver Path location in your pc and make sure the chrome driver version and google chrome version's match each other
Link to download the latest Chrome Driver
I hope the above process Works
Thanks to Vikas Dadi. I had downloaded chrome driver of 80 version and the actual browser being used on the laptop was 79, hence the error. But now it is working fine after deleting the driver and reinstalling the driver of the same version.
I'm attempting to use Bamboo's build and deployment capabilities to run Selenium Automated tests with my project.
We're currently using a Maven task to build and run regular JUNIT tests, and the plan is to use another Maven task to run the Selenium tests after the code has been successfully deployed to the server. At the moment, everything seems to run just fine locally, but when bamboo attempts to run the Selenium tests it seems to hang indefinitely. Unfortunately I don't have remote access to the server to watch it first hand, but I do know that it's a Microsoft server running with OS version: Windows 2012 R2 64-bit. I also know that the server is using java version "1.8.0_101", which is the same as my local setup. I've included a sample of the code I'm running below.
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class SeleniumTestExample {
WebDriver driver;
#Before
public void setup(){
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "src/test/resources/IEDriverServer32bit.exe");
DesiredCapabilities ieCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
ieCapabilities.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(null, ieCapabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://google.com");
}
#Test
public void printPageTitle(){
System.out.println("Title of Page is: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
}
When run through Bamboo, the only output in the logs are the lines...
Started InternetExplorerDriver server (32-bit)
2.53.1.0
Listening on port 8080
Only local connections are allowed
CI or Bamboo server should be used for controlling your tests. You should not try to run your tests on a CI server. The issue you are having is probably because of that. Your are trying to use CI server as you local machine, which it will not respond the same way as your local. Instead you should use selenium grid in your setup to remotely connect to a machine by making use of hub and node. You may also have to use remote webdriver. Also have a look at this post
I've seen this using TeamCity, in this case the IE tells you that its executable will only accept connections from the local machine. According to Selenium org
The HTTP server started by the IEDriverServer.exe sets an access control list to only accept connections from the local machine, and disallows incoming connections from remote machines. At present, this cannot be changed without modifying the source code to the IEDriverServer.exe. To run the Internet Explorer driver on a remote machine, use the Java standalone remote server in connection with your language binding's equivalent of RemoteWebDriver.
So first run a chromedriver via passing through a param like so :
chromedriver --whitelisted-ips=""
This will basically whitelist all IP's, not always an ideal solution of course. But will show you that your tests can run on this CI configuration. Next thing to look for is your users privileges. Ask your admin to grant you more permissions in order to do your job. Keep in mind that IE's Protected mode may require some additional changes from your user. If none of this helps, consider Selenium grid with IE nodes.
Try to get rid of the line in the code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "src/test/resources/IEDriverServer32bit.exe");
First of all, it tells where selenium should look for the webdriver for IE. Since the Bamboo server is a windows machine, you have to set it up with the absolute path of the file, like "C:\test\webdriver\IEDriverServer32bit.exe".
Secondly, the property could be set using environment variables of the Bamboo task.
Thirdly, if you want to define it on the fly, you can define the property in pom.xml as:
<webdriver.ie.driver.path>
C:\test\webdriver\IEDriverServer32bit.exe
</webdriver.ie.driver.path>
and use it in a system property with help of maven-surefire-plugin.
then you can run test with the command
mvn test -Dwebdriver.ie.driver.path=C:\test\webdriver\IEDriverServer32bit.exe
with whatever path you want.
I am getting error while using Firefox with WebDriver.
org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect
to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms.
Firefox version:47.0
Selenium:2.53.0
Windows 10 64 bit
Is anyone getting a similar issue or any idea what is the solution for this? It's working fine with Chrome but with Firefox none of the URLs are getting loaded.
Unfortunately Selenium WebDriver 2.53.0 is not compatible with Firefox 47.0. The WebDriver component which handles Firefox browsers (FirefoxDriver) will be discontinued. As of version 3.0, Selenium WebDriver will need the geckodriver binary to manage Firefox browsers. More info here and here.
Therefore, in order to use Firefox 47.0 as browser with Selenium WebDriver 2.53.0, you need to download the Firefox driver (which is a binary file called geckodriver as of version 0.8.0, and formerly wires) and export its absolute path to the variable webdriver.gecko.driver as a system property in your Java code:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/path/to/geckodriver");
Luckily, the library WebDriverManager can do this work for you, i.e. download the proper Marionette binary for your machine (Linux, Mac, or Windows) and export the value of the proper system property. To use this library, you need to include this dependency into your project:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>5.1.0</version>
</dependency>
... and then execute this line in your program before using WebDriver:
WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
A complete running example of a JUnit 4 test case using WebDriver could be as follows:
public class FirefoxTest {
protected WebDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
}
#Before
public void setupTest() {
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
#After
public void teardown() {
if (driver != null) {
driver.quit();
}
}
#Test
public void test() {
// Your test code here
}
}
Take into account that Marionette will be the only option for future (for WebDriver 3+ and Firefox 48+), but currently (version 0.9.0 at writing time) is not very stable. Take a look to the Marionette roadmap for further details.
UPDATE
Selenium WebDriver 2.53.1 has been released on 30th June 2016. FirefoxDriver is working again with Firefox 47.0.1 as browser.
Try using firefox 46.0.1. It best matches with Selenium 2.53
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/46.0.1/win64/en-US/
I had the same issue and found out that you need to switch drivers because support was dropped. Instead of using the Firefox Driver, you need to use the Marionette Driver in order to run your tests. I am currently working through the setup myself and can post some suggested steps if you'd like when I have a working example.
Here are the steps I followed to get this working on my Java environment on Mac (worked for me in my Linux installations (Fedora, CentOS and Ubuntu) as well):
Download the nightly executable from the releases page
Unpack the archive
Create a directory for Marionette (i.e., mkdir -p /opt/marionette)
Move the unpacked executable file to the directory you made
Update your $PATH to include the executable (also, edit your .bash_profile if you want)
:bangbang: Make sure you chmod +x /opt/marionette/wires-x.x.x so that it is executable
In your launch, make sure you use the following code below (it is what I used on Mac)
Quick Note
Still not working as expected, but at least gets the browser launched now. Need to figure out why - right now it looks like I need to rewrite my tests to get it to work.
Java Snippet
WebDriver browser = new MarionetteDriver();
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/opt/marionette/wires-0.7.1-OSX");
If you're on OSX using Homebrew, you can install old Firefox versions via brew cask:
brew tap goldcaddy77/firefox
brew cask install firefox-46 # or whatever version you want
After installing, you'll just need to rename your FF executable in the Applications directory to "Firefox".
More info can be found at the git repo homebrew-firefox. Props to smclernon for creating the original cask.
If you're on a Mac do brew install geckodriver and off you go!
In case anyone is wondering how to use Marionette in C#.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(); // Your custom profile
var service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService("DirectoryContainingTheDriver", "geckodriver.exe");
// Set the binary path if you want to launch the release version of Firefox.
service.FirefoxBinaryPath = #"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe";
var option = new FirefoxProfileOptions(profile) { IsMarionette = true };
var driver = new FirefoxDriver(
service,
option,
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
Overriding FirefoxOptions to provide the function to add additional capability and set Firefox profile because selenium v53 doesn't provide that function yet.
public class FirefoxProfileOptions : FirefoxOptions
{
private DesiredCapabilities _capabilities;
public FirefoxProfileOptions()
: base()
{
_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.Firefox();
_capabilities.SetCapability("marionette", this.IsMarionette);
}
public FirefoxProfileOptions(FirefoxProfile profile)
: this()
{
_capabilities.SetCapability(FirefoxDriver.ProfileCapabilityName, profile.ToBase64String());
}
public override void AddAdditionalCapability(string capabilityName, object capabilityValue)
{
_capabilities.SetCapability(capabilityName, capabilityValue);
}
public override ICapabilities ToCapabilities()
{
return _capabilities;
}
}
Note: Launching with profile doesn't work with FF 47, it works with FF 50 Nightly.
However, we tried to convert our test to use Marionette, and it's just not viable at the moment because the implementation of the driver is either not completed or buggy. I'd suggest people downgrade their Firefox at this moment.
New Selenium libraries are now out, according to: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/2110
The download page http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ seems not to be updated just yet, but by adding 1 to the minor version in the link, I could download the C# version: http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.53/selenium-dotnet-2.53.1.zip
It works for me with Firefox 47.0.1.
As a side note, I was able build just the webdriver.xpi Firefox extension from the master branch in GitHub, by running ./go //javascript/firefox-driver:webdriver:run – which gave an error message but did build the build/javascript/firefox-driver/webdriver.xpi file, which I could rename (to avoid a name clash) and successfully load with the FirefoxProfile.AddExtension method. That was a reasonable workaround without having to rebuild the entire Selenium library.
Its a FF47 issue
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/2110
Please downgrade to FF 46 or below (or try out FF48 developer https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/48)
Instructions on how to downgrade:
https://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/how-to-install-previous-versions-of-firefox-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
Or if you are on Mac, as suggested by someone else in this thread use brew.
Firefox 47.0 stopped working with Webdriver.
Easiest solution is to switch to Firefox 47.0.1 and Webdriver 2.53.1. This combination again works. In fact, restoring Webdriver compatibility was the main reason behind the 47.0.1 release, according to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/47.0.1/releasenotes/.
You can try using this code,
private WebDriver driver;
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.marionette","Your path to driver/geckodriver.exe");
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
I upgraded to selenium 3.0.0 and Firefox version is 49.0.1
You can download geckodriver.exe from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
Make sure you download zip file only, geckodriver-v0.11.1-win64.zip file or win32 one as per your system and extract it in a folder.
Put the path for that folder in the "Your path to driver" quotes.Don't forget to put geckodriver.exe in the path.
I eventually installed an additional old version of Firefox (used for testing only) to resolve this, besides my regular (secure, up to date) latest Firefox installation.
This requires webdriver to know where it can find the Firefox binary, which can be set through the webdriver.firefox.bin property.
What worked for me (mac, maven, /tmp/ff46 as installation folder) is:
mvn -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin=/tmp/ff46/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin verify
To install an old version of Firefox in a dedicated folder, create the folder, open Finder in that folder, download the Firefox dmg, and drag it to that Finder.
Here's what the problem looked like in Wireshark
Just load up 2.53.1 and every thing will work.
As of September 2016
Firefox 48.0 and selenium==2.53.6 work fine without any errors
To upgrade firefox on Ubuntu 14.04 only
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade firefox
It seems to me that the best solution is to update to Selenium 3.0.0, download geckodriver.exe and use Firefox 47 or higher.
I changed Firefox initialization to:
string geckoPathTest = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "TestFiles\\geckodriver.exe");
string geckoPath = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "geckodriver.exe");
File.Copy(geckoPathTest, geckoPath);
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("webdriver.gecko.driver", geckoPath);
_firefoxDriver = new FirefoxDriver();
I can confirm that selenium 2.53.6 works with firefox 44 for me on ubuntu 15.
I have written the following selenium script which opens Gmail website.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; <br>
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;
public class OpenGmail {
/**
* #param args
*/
public void OpenGmailApp()
{
WebDriver webdriver = new FirefoxDriver();
webdriver.get("gmail URL");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
OpenGmail ob = new OpenGmail();
ob.OpenGmailApp();
}
}
When I execute the above script, I'm getting Firefox home page only. Its not gmail login page. Kindly guide what could be the error I made in that script.
If your jar files are old and the browser was updated to latest version, then download the latest jar files from selenium website -
Selenium Download
You can also use the Selenium FF addon..
FF Selenium Addon
All the steps can be recorded in the addon and the script can be exported.
I have faced the same problem. Now issue is fixed. download the latest selenium jar and replace the external jar of project in eclipse. Check the selenium jars. Selenium supports Firefox so it directly initiate the instance of Firefox WebDriver, but due to selenium jars compatibility url id not opening.
http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
This is due to the unsigned .xpi (selenium 2.45.0) not being loaded by firefox 43. It's a temporary fix. Selenium will be going to update their jar soon after this you will not need to use this profiling
Full Code:-
public void OpenGmailApp()
{
WebDriver driver = null;
final FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
firefoxProfile.setPreference("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
OpenGmail ob = new OpenGmail();
ob.OpenGmailApp();
}
Another thing which can cause issue is either old selenium jars or old browser version. So update both of them.
Download latest jars from below URL:-
http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
Hope it will help you :)
If you are running via Jenkins/Command prompt then along with updating your selenium jars, delete the older version of that particular jars in your library folder. Keeping both versions might create issue while running via Jenkins/Command prompt
