Cannot run example with Firefox 33 on Ubuntu

[numtel]

I'm trying to get the package running with the example tests from the readme. I was confused on first impression that sudo was required to run the tests. That helped and was able to get an instance of firefox to pop up with the included selenium 2.42.0 jar but no tests ran. It looks like the latest 2.44.0 must be installed for Firefox 33 support so I downloaded the jar and updated the package.js, nightwatch_from_app_root.json and launch_nightwatch_from_app_root.sh (displayed below)

#!/bin//bash
# run this file from your application's root directory

echo "changing file permissions"
chmod +x .meteor/local/build/programs/server/assets/packages/clinical_nightwatch/launch_nightwatch*.sh
chmod +x .meteor/local/build/programs/server/assets/packages/clinical_nightwatch/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar

echo "installing nightwatch in .meteor/local/build"
  cd .meteor/local/build
  npm install nightwatch@0.5.3
  cd ../../..

echo "running nightwatch"
   .meteor/local/build/node_modules/nightwatch/bin/nightwatch -c .meteor/local/build/programs/server/assets/packages/clinical_nightwatch/nightwatch_from_app_root.json $1 $2

Now it hangs trying to start selenium:

$ ./run_nightwatch.sh --verbose

Have you had any luck running with firefox 33 / selenium 2.44.0?

Looks like the jar works fine:

I have similar problem in Ubunutu with Firefox.

[istals]

I suggest temporary fix to downgrade firefox to version 31. I had the same issue with firefox 33 and i found out that version 33 don't have extension webDriver

Hmmm. I haven't seen those errors, but I'm getting ready to do some maintenance on the package and try to see if it will finally integrate with velocity. I'll see about upgrading the core libraries....

Confirmed that there is a conflict between Nightwatch 0.5.3 and Firefox 33 through 35. Updated documentation to specify which version of Firefox to use. Please use Firefox 31.

• Firefox 31
