I recently set up my Windows 7 VM with everything needed to run my tests. I'm using Ruby 1.9.3, rspec 3, selenium-webdriver 2.42.0, and capybara 2.4.1 gems. Setting up on Windows was easier than I thought (even easier than on MacOS, maybe).

When running the tests in Firefox, I run into this error:

Cannot perform native interaction: Could not load native events component.

My tests run fine in Chrome for Windows. My tests run fine in Chrome/Firefox on MacOS.

I've tried to disable native_events without any success:

profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.native_events = false
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, {:browser => :firefox, :profile => profile})

Any ideas? Is there a way to update Firefox driver? Am I missing an important installation on Windows?

  • Check out this SO answer, which may help explain why chrome is working but FF is not: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19922578/understanding-of-cannot-perform-native-interaction-could-not-load-native-event – orde Jul 18 '14 at 21:28
  • I've tried disabling native events completely, but am still having issues in Firefox. And why would this occur in Windows but not MacOS? – user3147367 Jul 18 '14 at 23:57
  • This is probably off topic, but reading about your problem made me realise that there was such thing as disabling and enabling native-events for Selenium firefox. While u were trying to disable it, i had to enable it because I didnt realize it was false by default. Life saver! My entire project's launch was saved after reading this! Thank you! :D – Tikiboy May 15 '15 at 08:43
