Getting an "XHR error Response_Code = 500" on running test with latest senelium server 1.0.3

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 408

In order to run test suite on Firefox 3.6, I upgraded existing selenium 
server 1.0.1 to 1.0.3. But immediately after replacing latest selenium-
server.jar I have been getting an error "XHR ERROR: URL = 
http://localhost:8080/app/ Response_Code = 500 Error_Message = Internal 
Server Error on session 9201117329044c9dbc146dcdb7c77cc5" 

I am getting an error with the latest selenium server only. Same test is 
running fine with older selenium server (1.0.1) on Firefox 3.0.x

I am running test on windows XP OS.

Any pointers or input is highly appreciated.

Could this be related to bug 400?

It is smilar problem. but I have been getting Response code 500 on executing open 
command. It occurs with  *chrome and *firefox both mode. 

Kindly let me know if you need more detail and if there is any workaround to get rid

this issue.

I am getting the same issue for firefox 3.6

I'm guessing that this is always happening on the 'open' command. There was a bug where
a feature that was 
supposed to be disabled / transparent to the user wasn't nearly disabled enough. I
believe I have fixed this in 
svn, but does it resolve itself if you pass "true" as an additional argument to the
open command?

Reported by adamgoucher on 2010-03-10 13:02:18

[lukeis]

I am able to get around the XHR error by providing "true" as a second argument in 
open command but I am wondering how would I do the same in selenium.open() method?
I 
am using java as scripting language.

We have the same problem. After reading the suggestion from Adam above, I tried this,
with success:

        selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", port, browserString, url) {
            public void open(String url) {
                commandProcessor.doCommand("open", new String[] {url,"true"});
            }
        };

The problem is that with cubictest this fails miserably as i cant modify the open code

This needs a quick fix for cubictest !

I will notify Christian Schwarz about this issue

For PHP Selenim, you can put this hack on Driver.php, around line 714:

                } else {

                    //patch to ignore XSR errors
                    if ($command == 'open') $arguments[] = 'true'; //add me

                    $this->doCommand($command, $arguments);
                }

I am very new to Selenium. How can I call open() with true using SeleneseTestCase. 
Did not have any luck with TestCase and using default either. In my case, one of our

prodct url seems to be not working at all. It works using https but not http. I am

using selenium-remote-control-1.0.3.

Thanks.

 thomas.gronwall could you please provide the code for dot net to solve this "XHR
error Response_Code = 500" 

Reported by AarenFelix on 2010-05-14 07:19:56

[lukeis]

@hspatalia
What you want to do is replace your call to setUp(url,browserString) with a manual

creation of the DefaultSelenium object, as per thomas.gronwall's post.  You then have

to make a call to the selenium.start() method.

-- setUp(url,browserString);
++ selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", port, browserString, url) {
++          public void open(String url) {
++              commandProcessor.doCommand("open", new String[] url,"true"});
++          }
++        };
++ selenium.start();

@AarenFelix
I am not familiar with the dot net source but I believe the above explanation should

be easily translatable.

This has been fixed in r8480 and r8558 by adamgoucher. The latest Selenium 2.0 alpha

contains the fix, but Selenium 1.x hasn't been built since the fix was committed.

I've also experienced this problem when attempting to use SelRC to run scripts
created with SelIDE. After doing some research, found this thread, downloaded
selenium-server-2.0a4.jar and found that it fixed the problem.

any plan to apply this patch to the 1.x release?

Reported by smurfdaddy on 2010-06-09 16:55:41

[lukeis]

I /believe/ it is already in the most current 1.x release. If not, it is perfectly safe
to use the 2.x jar for 1.x work (it is backwards compatible) is you can get over the
fact it is labeled 'a4'.

I am having trouble trying to build r8558, is it possible somebody could attach a fixed
version of the 1.0.3 jar or email it to me at lees.d.a@gmail.com?

Reported by lees.d.a on 2010-06-11 09:57:47

[lukeis]

Slight typo in solution..Posting a correction that might save some newbies (like me)
some angst...
Replace setUp(...) with

Integer port = 4444;
String browserString= "*firefox";
String url = "http://yoururl.com";
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",port,browserString,url) {
public void open(String url) { commandProcessor.doCommand("open", new String[] {url,"true"});};
selenium.start();

And that's pretty much how selenium.open() can be overloaded with the true operator.

Issue 685 has been merged into this issue.

Reported by theautomatedtester on 2010-10-30 18:30:24

[lukeis]

Issue 685/Comment 22 (where Response_Code = -1, not 500—is this really a dupe?) appears
to be OS-dependent. I saw this issue for the first time right after updating from 1.0.1
to 1.0.3, but only under Linux (Ubuntu Karmic). Against the same version of FireFox
under Windows (Firefox 3.6.12 under Windows Server 2008 SP2), I'm not seeing this,
nor any other new issues.

Solon.Huang: Your workaround (comment 21) worked for me, too. But under Linux, the
test browser windows didn't close until Selenium Server was stopped. This problem did
not occur in 1.0.1 (without the workaround), nor under Windows (with the workaround).
I fixed this by adding a call to selenium.stop() in the tearDown method.

Also, could somebody tell me how to submit to this forum without Google posting my
address for every spammer in the world to see? So much for doing no evil.

@ sabu.thaliyath
That's pretty easy...
Try to find the file 'legacy_driver.rb' in your gems library, for example, path from
my machine is 
'C:\Ruby186\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\selenium-client-1.2.18\lib\selenium\client'
Hope you can find a similar one on your machine...

Change the open method as below:
        def open(url)
            remote_control_command("open", [url,"true"])

Instead of calling @browser.open, try this...

NOTE: The true is a boolean here as opposed to a string.

The solution to this is to update your server. 2.0b2 is the current one and includes
the RC API with fixes. The 'beta' label is more for the WebDriver component.

Closing.

(Oh, and for the person doing the Ruby code here; you should switch to the selenium-webdriver
gem as selenium-client has been abandoned)

Hello, I run into the same problem.

My question here is, instead of using Selenium RC's way (DefaultSelenium) of starting
the browser, I'm using Selenium Grid way to start the browser (ThreadSafeSeleniumSessionStorage.startSeleniumSession(seleniumHost,
seleniumPort, browser, url) ). In this case, how do I go about this problem? 

Help is kindly appreciated!

I'm having the same problem of comment 40. Selenium Grid's latest version is 1.0.8,
there's no 2.0 with the fix everybody talks about on this thread. 

Is it possible to "merge" the Grid with the RC code in order to get the bug fixed?
I'm going to try the overwriting of the open function but it would be extremely better
if it could be fixed with the new version.

Thanks
