after a lot with struggle to get the docker running correctly, i have the following error when trying to use RSelenium:

Selenium message:The path to the driver executable must be set by the 
webdriver.gecko.driver system property; for more information, see 
https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver. The latest version can be downloaded 
from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

 Error:      Summary: UnknownError
 Detail: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
 class: java.lang.IllegalStateException
 Further Details: run errorDetails method

The code is just:

remDr <- remoteDriver(remoteServerAddr = "localhost" 
                      , port = 4444
                      , browserName = "firefox"
                      )

remDr$open()

And whe I try to see the page https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver, i get error 404. Anyone knows what is this about? Im using windows.

Did you download geckodriver.exe from Github? This is needed if you want to use the Firefox driver with Selenium. – tblznbits Apr 28 '17 at 13:17
I guess not. I just installed docker and selenium. But this happens when I try to navigate using chrome also. – Bruna Wundervald Apr 28 '17 at 13:20
I've never tried using Chrome drivers for Selenium, but you should try downloading the gecko driver and seeing if that helps. – tblznbits Apr 28 '17 at 13:45
Can you help me with that? I know this is ask for much, but with the file I have here, the installation has not been successful. – Bruna Wundervald Apr 28 '17 at 14:10
What version of selenium/node-firefox docker image are you using? – Barney Apr 28 '17 at 14:12

[https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver) does not return a 404. You might want to check your internet connection and your proxy, if you're using one. – Mark Lapierre Apr 28 '17 at 20:20
