PS: I'll still trying to figure how John's sample demo works with Chrome Driver first. Thanks a lot guys! And have a good nite and good weekend! I give it up for now -). Have anyone succeeded getting these things run together?Īny one knows if the Gecko Driver v 0.18 works with FF v55.x? or they are still in the trial phase?Īny one kind enough to share your working versions and your POM.xml? The error message above suggests that the 'WebDriverFacade' was trying to take over the FireFox Driver via Gecko Driver and it failed (?).

I do not know what actually took place but my guess is that Gecko Driver failed to kick off the selenium-server-standalone and thus it rendered the FF session useless? I wish I could know how to debug the execution. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.īut I do not see - before this error - how Gecko Driver activates the selenium-server-standalone.
