问题
I received an exception after trying to setup a connection to selenium-server-standalone by using remoteWebDriver in an application test written in Java.
The issue is related the usage of remoteWebDriver starting selenium-server-standalone (with Xvfb) by using maven (because by running manually by a different session Xvfb and then selenium-server stand alone the application test is working). The environment is composed by RH Linux R4.1.x , Selenium 2.1, firefox 3.6. Both selenium-server-standalone and application test are executed on the same machine (Virtual Machine).
As previously said, the application test run successfully connecting to the instance of selenium-server-standalone-2.21.0 if this instance is started by a separate PUTTY session (separate from the one used for starting the application test) with the following commands:
#Xvfb :20 &
#export DISPLAY=:20
#Java –Dwebdriver.firefox.firefox=“/opt/firefox/firefox” –jar selenium-server-standalone-2-.21.0.jar -port 4441.
The application test code for connecting to selenium-server-standalone is the following :
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capability.setPlatform(Platform.LINUX);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver (new URL("http://127.0.0.1:14444/wd/hub"),capability);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Now trying to use maven for starting also xvfb and selenium-server-stand alone before starting the application test I get the following error (then within same putty session):
selenium server conenction string: http://127.0.0.1:14444/wd/hub

回答1:
I had the same error yesterday :
Exception: The path to the chromedriver executable must be set by the webdriver.chrome.driver system property**
I solved it by adding the chromedriver.exe in the path of the node machine. (https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list) But it's weird to have this problem if try to launch firefox ...
回答2:
npm install chromedriver
Had the same issue, that worked for me.
