Firefox is not launching URL through Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am using Eclipse Photon, Firefox version 62.0 Quantum, Selenium 3.14.0, geckodriver version 0.21.0.

When I run the code, Firefox opens but doesn't launch the URL. Everything is up-to-date, geckodriver is set as marionette. Please help.

My code is:

package firstSelenium;

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


public class test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty(
                "webdriver.firefox.marionette", 
                "C:\\Users\\nargi\\Downloads\\geckodriver.exe"
        );

        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
    }
}

As answered by amsankalp89 please update Property to gecko driver and code will work — thebadguy, Sep 13 '18 at 05:00

Use correct setProperty, as you are using gecko driver, so you need to use "webdriver.gecko.driver"

Correct code is

public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\nargi\\Downloads\\geckodriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}
}

You must check the compatibility of your geckoDriver and your Mozilla Firefox driver. In my system I am using geckoDriver version as 0.21.0 and my MozillaFF browser is FireFox Quantam 64 bit version 61.0.1. In my system this code works fine.

class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", path);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
}

}

Please check the compatibility and let me know if it works. Also verify that path to geckoDriver is correct and there is no other .exe file named as geckodriver.exe

Hi, my geckodriver version is 0.21.0 and firefox quantum version 63.o beta version. it looks like i wrote the path wrong to the geckodriver. It worked!! Thanks a lot! – Narcissa Sep 15 '18 at 03:45
So, in that case, my answer is also correct:) Anyway @Mukul Maheshwari there is no difference in my and your answer. +1 – iamsankalp89 Sep 17 '18 at 04:11
Yes @iamsankalp89 as Narcissa said, the geckodriver path was incorrect in code, there was no other code issue. – Mukul Maheshwari Sep 17 '18 at 06:52

For me this issue was solved when "marionette" was changed to "gecko.driver"
