I was trying to execute my QAF framework in my local Firefox( Version 61) and I need to know how to call out firefox browser from QAF application.

driver.name=geckodriver
webdriver.gecko.driver = C:/DRIVERS/geckodriver.exe

Above one did not work. Do I need to give driver.name=firefoxDriver. Even then it did not work on QAF. Please help.

You need to set following properties for firefox:

driver.name=firefoxDriver
system.webdriver.gecko.driver=C:/DRIVERS/geckodriver.exe

You also can provide relative path like below:

system.webdriver.gecko.driver=servers/geckodriver.exe

In above case driver executable assumed under /servers. After setting above properties if you are facing any issue then you need to check geckodriver and selenium webdriver version is compatible with the version of firefox. If you are updating selenium version above 3+ make sure to use selenium-support version 3.0.0 or use qaf latest version (2.1.14-RC1 is the latest at present).

  • Thanks. Now I am able to load the browser but the URL is not entering in firefox browser. I am getting this error - "main: Driver: firefoxDriver org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output: startup on aushelper@mozilla.org version 2.0" – dineshbalajibingo Nov 04 '18 at 04:15
  • Also in the same test I am seeing "Failed to connect to binary" error too Unable to create driver instance in 1st attempt with retry timeout of 200 seconds. You can check/set value of 'driver.init.retry.timeout' appropriately to set retry timeout on driver initialization failure.Unable to Create Driver Instance for firefox: Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin) on port 7055; process output follows: – dineshbalajibingo Nov 04 '18 at 04:57
  • This is more related to webdriver compatibility. Check you have correct [version and executable of gecko driver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) for your environment and firefox version. Keep in mind that for windows there are 64bit and 32bit versions available for driver. It should match with your firefox version (32 or 64). – user861594 Nov 04 '18 at 23:26
  • I did try with Firefox window 63.0.1 (64-bit), geckodriver-v0.23.0-win64 with selenium version 3.14.0 and qaf version 2.1.14-RC1 and it worked fine for me. – user861594 Nov 05 '18 at 00:41
