Trouble with startup of webdrivers using selenese-runner

[Robldibobl]

Hello there,

I have to automate some browser tests using selenium and they want me to integrate these tests in Bamboo. This tool is the optimal choice for me, but I still have some issues/questions to figure out.

1.) When using Firefox (v46.0.1 installed on the server bamboo is on), it can't seem to start it. I read while researching that v47 and earlier are not supported with the geckodriver. Is there a way though to make it work? (Sorry, this one is quite off-topic) Error message: Link

2.) When using IE (version currently unknown), it won't start because of the protected mode which isn't the same in all zones. Is there an option I can call to alter this? Error message: Link

EDIT: I found the error and I feel stupid not to have found it earlier. Don't pay attention to this third point. 3.) When using Chrome (version currently unknown), I get an "access denied" error and it instantly quits. No idea what to do, but searching for the issue has not brought up any solutions yet. Please, if you'd have some hints for me.. Error message: Link

4.) Microsoft Edge is not supported at all? I saw the webdriver microsoft is offering, but haven't seen any way to use it with selenese-runner. Did I just miss everything or is it just not a thing?

Thanks

Hi,

I apologize for replying late.

As a premise, SeleneseRunner follows the latest Selenium. Selenium often breaks backward compatibility. (but the version number does not include that information) However, as a countermeasure to this problem, it is difficult for me to maintain multiple versions of SeleneseRunner.

1.) I think that I can not support this problem. I understand that the latest Selenium does not support Firefox without GeckoDriver. If I have misunderstood, please provide information on that.

2.) If the latest Selenium can use on IE, the problem is a bug of SeleneseRunner. If you have information on how to use Selenum with IE, please provide it. Otherwise, I will investigate the problem, but please understand that it will take time.

4.) It is similar to the problem of IE.

Thanks for replying!

1.) I finally found something that solves my problem for Firefox. There was a bug with Firefox v54 and lower where the 'maximizeWindow()' selenese command resulted in a NullPointerException. I could upgrade on the test system to v55 and with your updated version, it works with Firefox.

2.) It seems today is the day where I think I'm the most stupid person alive. I finally found what I had to do with the IE protected mode settings. I figured it out (pushing the security level in all zones to high AND checking the checkbox at the bottom of every single zone). This should also solve my problem with IE.

4.) Now to Edge. Kindly asking, are there options implemented (like for firefox/chrome à la --firefox/--chrome) to access and specify the MS Edge webdriver? This is not necessary for my testing purposes, but I think selenese-runner would be a more complete allround solution with Edge support. If it's something I can pull off, I'd like to try my best to help with this one.

As always, many thanks for providing help and this piece of software.

Hi, Can I hope for a IE 11 support anytime soon ?
