Unable to find a matching set of capabilities with Firefox when marionette is turned to false through Selenium 3.12.0

Question

I have set the path and firefox bin correctly, still don't know where the problem is. The piece of code to start firefox driver is added below:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/opt/config/x_conf_dir/geckodriver");
      System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", "/opt/config/x_conf_dir/firefox-bin");
      FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
      options.addArguments("start-maximized");
      options.addArguments("headless");
      options.addArguments("window-size=1200,1100");
      LOGGER.warn("Start initiating firefox driver");
      WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
      driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(50, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
      driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com");
      LOGGER.warn("Page title is {}", driver.getTitle());
      File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
      FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("/opt/config/x_conf_dir/screen.png"));

While initiating the firefox driver in java, it gives this exception when marionette is turned to false, else it gives "Unable to find a matching set of capabilities".

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Timed out waiting 45 seconds for Firefox to start.

Thanks..

"Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.net.UrlChecker$TimeoutException: Timed out waiting for [http://localhost:21425/hub/status] to be available after 45002 ms" seemes pretty clear to me. — pburgr, Jul 24 '18 at 05:52

As per your error stack trace you are using Selenium Java Client v3.12.0. So you have to use GeckoDriver and marionette as a mandatory measure. However by default marionette is set to true.

As you mentioned marionatte is turned to false hence you see the error as:

Working Code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:/path/to/geckodriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
dc.setCapability("marionatte", true);
FirefoxOptions opt = new FirefoxOptions();
opt.merge(dc);
FirefoxDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver(opt);
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com");

When you use GeckoDriver, marionatte is set to true by default. In that case you can also skip the marionatte capability and you use the following solution as well:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:/path/to/geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com");

You can find a detailed discussion in org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities while initiating Firefox v37 through Selenium v3.11.0

With marionette true, it gives "Unable to find a matching set of capabilities". Could you plz point me in correct direction. – karan ladla Jul 24 '18 at 08:38
Checkout my updated answer and let me know the result – undetected Selenium Jul 24 '18 at 08:57
After changing the marionatte to true or removing the capability altogether as suggested in your updated solution, it throws org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities. Also I'm running it on linux machine – karan ladla Jul 24 '18 at 10:57
Have updated the piece of code using to initiate firefox driver. Plz check and guide what I'm doing wrong. – karan ladla Jul 24 '18 at 11:15
