I got Selenium IDE, followed this post, got to
python test_default_server.py
and it complains Firefox is not in my path:
Please
If on C# editor, use the following string:
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox C:\\Program Files\\firefox.exe", "http://www.google.com/");
Note: use an extra back slash before Program Files and firefox.exe, since a single backslash becomes an unrecognized escape sequence.
This helps very much.
setUp("http://localhost:8080/BingDemo/BingDriver.html", "*firefox C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
You have to use the following string when you instantiate selenium instead of just "*firefox":
"*firefox C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"
Notice: I'm not sure that path is correct, but it should be a similar one.
Update: Where do you instantiate your browser? By the tags in the question I suppose you're a python guy:
def setUp(self):
self.verificationErrors = []
self.selenium = selenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "http://change-this-to-the-site-you-are-testing/")
self.selenium.start()
I found it worth useful...
Selenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "http://gmail.com");
This helps very much. setUp("http://localhost:8080/BingDemo/BingDriver.html", "*firefox C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe");
However, replace all occurrences of \
with \\
in *firefox C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Additionally, you could point your PATH to in environmental variables to mozilla.exe
For Java Solution using Selenium Webdriver, you can import the below class:
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary;
and use the code snippet below to instantiate a new driver by explicitly specifying the path to the firefox.exe in your local system.
DesiredCapabilities browserCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxBinary ffbinary = new FirefoxBinary(new File("C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"));
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffbinary, ffprofile, browserCapabilities);
Note: You may need to replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with the path that points to firefox.exe on your local machine.
