Whether selenium Standalone server 2.50 not support in Fire fox browser 49.0 version?

Question

Latest mozilla version not supported in selenium, Is there any solution?

here is my code

package Admin_Package;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import
org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class test {



public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    // Download "geckodriver.exe" from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\ecl_ee\\jar_files\\gecko_driver\\geckodriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");

    System.out.println("Application title is ============="+driver.getTitle());

    driver.quit();
} }
If I am using 3.0.1 standalone below mention error is coming java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: D:\ecl_ee\jar_files\gecko_driver\geckodriver.exe at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState(Preconditions.java:199) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService.checkExecutable(DriverService.java:121) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService.findExecutable(DriverService.java:116) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.GeckoDriverService.access$000(GeckoDriverService.java:37) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.GeckoDriverService$Builder.findDefaultExecutable(GeckoDriverService.java:95) at org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService$Builder.build(DriverService.java:296) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.createCommandExecutor(FirefoxDriver.java:277) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.(FirefoxDriver.java:247) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.(FirefoxDriver.java:242) at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.(FirefoxDriver.java:135) at Admin_Package.test.before(test.java:20) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.testng.internal.MethodInvocationHelper.invokeMethod(MethodInvocationHelper.java:86) at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeMethod(Invoker.java:646) at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeTestMethod(Invoker.java:823) at org.testng.internal.Invoker.invokeTestMethods(Invoker.java:1131) at org.testng.internal.TestMethodWorker.invokeTestMethods(TestMethodWorker.java:129) at org.testng.internal.TestMethodWorker.run(TestMethodWorker.java:112) at org.testng.TestRunner.privateRun(TestRunner.java:778) at org.testng.TestRunner.run(TestRunner.java:632) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.runTest(SuiteRunner.java:366) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.runSequentially(SuiteRunner.java:361) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.privateRun(SuiteRunner.java:319) at org.testng.SuiteRunner.run(SuiteRunner.java:268) at org.testng.SuiteRunnerWorker.runSuite(SuiteRunnerWorker.java:52) at org.testng.SuiteRunnerWorker.run(SuiteRunnerWorker.java:86) at org.testng.TestNG.runSuitesSequentially(TestNG.java:1225) at org.testng.TestNG.runSuites(TestNG.java:1075) at org.testng.TestNG.run(TestNG.java:1047) at org.testng.remote.AbstractRemoteTestNG.run(AbstractRemoteTestNG.java:126) at org.testng.remote.RemoteTestNG.initAndRun(RemoteTestNG.java:137) at org.testng.remote.RemoteTestNG.main(RemoteTestNG.java:58)

Yes there is, you should see this question posted : [Here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37785686/how-to-use-the-gecko-executable-with-selenium) — Omegaspard, Nov 07 '16 at 10:04
@ Bob Reynolds I am using your referring code but, getting same issue browser not supported — Divya, Nov 07 '16 at 10:52
did you try with the latest selenium jars? 3.0.1? or still trying with 2.50? — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 07 '16 at 11:46
upgrade to 3.0.1 and try. I don't think so 2.53 have support for geckodriver. From Firefox 48 onwards, you have to use geckodriver. https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 07 '16 at 12:10
@Naveen I am updating 3.0.1 jar but, getting error (above mentioned please check) — Divya, Nov 07 '16 at 12:14
the error says "The driver executable does not exist: D:\ecl_ee\jar_files\gecko_driver\geckodriver.exe". did you really keep the geckodriver.exe in the said location? — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 07 '16 at 12:16
Agree with naveen, this clearly is a "File not found" issue! nothing to do with browser support I guess! Is this solved? @Divya — Waman, Nov 08 '16 at 05:35
@Naveen & Wama U R right I am getting wrong path, It's modifying, but I am getting another error above is mentioned please tell me the solution (browser opened and get the URL, then this error is coming ) — Divya, Nov 08 '16 at 06:18
It seems a plugin issue that you installed in the firefox browser. go through all the plugins installed. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1006356. uninstall or update the plugin which is causing the problem. — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 08 '16 at 06:25
@Naveen I am using extended class but it's failed above is mentioned code please once check — Divya, Nov 08 '16 at 07:23
I did not understand the problem. not much aware of the framework. from the trace, I got to know that NullPointerException is raised "FAILED CONFIGURATION: @BeforeTest login java.lang.NullPointerException at Admin_Package.Role_Add.login(Role_Add.java:18)". check what is the reason for the exception. is it because the class run before some other class? or in the login method, element is not found? not so sure. — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 08 '16 at 07:34
@Naveen above mentioned in my code please once check. The same code executed in 45.0.1 firefox version — Divya, Nov 08 '16 at 08:21
Though I am not sure why NullPointerExcpetion is thorwn, I suggest check the folllowing things. 1. whether driver object is NOT null? 2. whether username field is NOT found? 3. whether Password field is NOT found? just use print statement as follows. 1. sysout driver 2. sysout driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='txtUsername']")) 3. sysout driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='txtPassword']")) and see whether are retuning NullPointer or the objects. same applies to all the elmeents in the login method — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 08 '16 at 08:30
I doubt the following XPATH "driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[2]/div/form/div/div/div[2]/div/button[1]")).click();" please recheck in the browser using Firebug plugin where it matches to any element or not? — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 08 '16 at 08:30
@Naveen All paths are in site, and I am using single class it's working, but when using extended class it's fail — Divya, Nov 08 '16 at 10:17
in the following line "WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();" remove WebDriver reference and try. It seems like you are creating a local variable which is causing all the problems (and you are referencing global driver object which is never initialized). — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 08 '16 at 12:41

creating a local variable is causing all the troubles.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

remove WebDriver reference in the object creation, so the reference will be added to the global driver object so that Child classes can refer.
