I'm using Serenity with JBehave. For configuration what driver to start I use "serenity.properties" file and standard serenity properties for driver
webdriver.driver=iexplorer
webdriver.chrome.driver=Drivers/chromedriver.exe
webdriver.ie.driver=Drivers\IEDriverServer.exe
When I set webdriver.driver property to "firefox" or "chrome" everything works fine and test are run as expected. But when I try to use IE browser is not opened and I get an exception:
ERROR net.thucydides.core.webdriver.WebDriverFacade - FAILED TO CREATE NEW WEBDRIVER_DRIVER INSTANCE class org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver
