I would appreciate help with RSelenium (v 2.4.4 downloaded Nov 29, 2014). My first example is copied directly from the thread

# Get Google Chromes Inspect Element into R

library("RSelenium")
checkForServer()
startServer()
remDr <- remoteDriver(remoteServerAddr = "localhost", 
                  port = 4444, 
                  browserName = "firefox"
                  )
 remDr$open()

This results in

 > remDr$open()
  [1] "Connecting to remote server"
 Error:   Summary: UnknownError
      Detail: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
     class: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException

I also drew on the thread 

# Using Phantomjs with RSelenium on Windows 7

require(RSelenium)
# devtools::install_github("ropensci/RSelenium") # the latest dev version was installed
psPath <- "C:/Users/BG/Documents/R/win-library/3.1/phantomjs/phantomjs-1.9.8-windows/phantomjs.exe"  # local location of binary
pJS <- phantom(pjs_cmd = psPath)
remDr <- remoteDriver(browserName = "phantomjs")
remDr$open()

This returns

> remDr$open()
[1] "Connecting to remote server"
Error:   Summary: UnknownError
     Detail: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
     class: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.

  • Can you add the output of sessionInfo(). Also can you give the output of `system("java -version")`. – jdharrison Nov 30 '14 at 12:29
  • Have you tried the [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25745255/rselenium-error-driver-issues) from jdharrison, it is possibly the "release cycle from selenium and firefox a bit out of sync" – B.Mr.W. Nov 30 '14 at 17:07
  • Please file an issue at https://github.com/ropensci/RSelenium/issues and I will look into it. – jdharrison Dec 03 '14 at 06:54
