Selenium 3.6.0 & webdriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities) - deprecated?

Question

Since upgrading to the latest version of Selenium the following code seems to be deprecated:

Selenium 3.6.0 & webdriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities) - deprecated?

Full code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", Base_Page.getConstant(Constant.GECKO_DRIVER_DIRECTORY));
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
webdriver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);   //deprecated

From https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/master/rb/CHANGES

3.4.1 (2017-06-13)
==================
Firefox:
  * Added new Firefox::Options class that should be used to customize browser
    behavior (command line arguments, profile, preferences, Firefox binary, etc.).
    The instance of options class can be passed to driver initialization using
    :options key. Old way of passing these customization directly to driver
    initialization is deprecated.

From the 3.4.1 version the FirefoxOptions should be used.

Changed the following code 'FirefoxDriver(capabilities) to firefoxOptions which uses .setCapcability()

FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
    firefoxOptions.setCapability("marionette", true);
    webdriver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);

You can try this line;

FirefoxOptions ffOpt = new FirefoxOptions();
ffOpt.setCapabilities("marionette", true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffOpt);

Is that java code? Then you are probably missing some `new` keywords – Nico Haase Mar 26 '18 at 14:33

Try following:

    FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
    firefoxOptions.setCapability("marionette", true);
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxOptions);
