8 years ago Firefox 49 requires the beta 4 server and the latest version of geckodriver https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases see https://github.com/ropensci/RSelenium/issues/81

8 years ago Thanks. This has introduced a new error now.
(I tried both - running it from the directory having the deckodriver and adding it to the system path)
I ran the following commands
library(RSelenium)
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(javaargs = c("-D webdriver.gecko.driver='C:/Users/username/Downloads/geckodriver '"))
remDr <- remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE))
remDr$openAnd this resulted in the following error:
> remDr$open()
[1] "Connecting to remote server"
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/jgraham/wires. The latest version can be downloaded from https://github.com/jgraham/wires

so it would be -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=.....

Can you run
unlink(file.path(find.package("RSelenium"), "bin"),
recursive = TRUE, force = TRUE)
RSelenium::checkForServer(beta = TRUE)then
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(javaargs = c("-Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=\"/Users/rouseguy/Downloads/geckodriver\""))
remDr <- remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE))
remDr$open()The same issue persists. Here's the command log:
> unlink(file.path(find.package("RSelenium"), "bin"),
+ recursive = TRUE)
> RSelenium::checkForServer(beta = TRUE)

Chrome works though.
I ran this:
brew install chromedriver
And then, in R:
library(RSelenium)
startServer()
remDr <- remoteDriver(browserName = "chrome")
remDr$open()But not working on Firefox.

8 years ago Note the escaping of the webdriver:
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(javaargs = c("-Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=\"/Users/rouseguy/Downloads/geckodriver\""))you can try:
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(javaargs = c('-Dwebdriver.gecko.driver="/Users/rouseguy/Downloads/geckodriver"'))In other words the shell may expect " rather then a '

8 years ago Unfortunately, neither of them work. Getting the same error.

8 years ago I dont have a MAC to test with. There is http://brewformulas.org/geckodriver which might help:
brew install geckodriverThen geckodriver should be in your path so you should just need to pass the marionette capability:
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer()
remDr <- RSelenium::remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE))
remDr$open()Thanks.
I found a solution that works - and another solution that has a new error :)
The problem seems to be the default port on Mac. And starting the selenium server.
So, I downloaded selenium standalone server from here After unzipping it, using Terminal, I navigated to the folder containing that file and executed the following command:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0-beta4.jar -port 5556
If I try running the above command without the port, I am unable to start the server. It gives an error like this:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.BindException: Address already in use
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.SeleniumServer.boot(SeleniumServer.java:144)My java version details:
java -version
java version "1.8.0_101"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)Now, in R, I ran the following commands:
library(RSelenium)
remDr <- remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE), port=5556)
remDr$open()This fires up the Firefox browser window.
The above solution has one bottleneck - that of starting the server manually.
I ran the following commands
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(port=5556)
remDr <- RSelenium::remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE), port=5556)
remDr$open()And this resulted in the following error:
[1] "Connecting to remote server"
Undefined error in RCurl call.Error in queryRD(paste0(serverURL, "/session"), "POST", qdata = toJSON(serverOpts)) :Any thoughts on how to get around this issue ?

8 years ago The port should be passed as follows:
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(args = c("-port 5556"))ellipsis is used for passing arguments to system2

8 years ago Awesome. Thank you so much. This works.
Recapping what needs to be done to make RSelenium work with Firefox on Mac
System Config: OS: Mac OSX 10.11 Firefox 49.0 Java Version: 1.8 RSelenium Version: 1.4.5
Download the latest version of Selenium. In R console, run the following commands
unlink(file.path(find.package("RSelenium"), "bin"),
recursive = TRUE, force = TRUE)
RSelenium::checkForServer(beta = TRUE)In terminal, run the following command
brew install geckodriver
Running selenium at the default port on Mac has an issue. Run the following command in R console
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(args = c("-port 5556"))
remDr <- RSelenium::remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE), port=5556)
remDr$open()Thanks I will add this to the geckodriver post. It looks like kerberos uses port 4444 on MAC. I will look to have a different default port for MAC.
I have
RSeleniumversion 1.4.5. Firefox version is 49.0. I am on Mac OSX 10.11.6I tried running the following three commands:
But I got the following error:
