WebElement weCustomizeDashboardBtn = this.driver.findElement(By.xpath("//h1[text()='Customize Dashboard']");

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Permission denied to access property "__eventWrappers1573722857587"

...implies that WebDriverException was raised while trying to access the property.

As per the documentation in Error: Permission denied to access property "x" this error is observed if your program attempts to access an object for which your program have no permission. These events are likely to occur while accessing an <iframe> element loaded from a different domain for which you violated the same-origin policy.

You code trials and the relevant HTML would have helped us to debug the issue in a better way. However you can find a couple of relevant discussions in:

Additional Considerations

You are using Firefox v45.5.1 which is pretty ancient. Ideally you need to:

  • Upgrade JDK to recent levels JDK 8u222.
  • Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.141.59.
  • Upgrade GeckoDriver to GeckoDriver v0.26.0 level.
  • GeckoDriver is present in the desired location.
  • GeckoDriver is having executable permission for non-root users.
  • Upgrade Firefox version to Firefox v70.0 levels.
  • Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
  • If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
  • Take a System Reboot.
  • Execute your Test as a non-root user.
  • Always invoke driver.quit() within tearDown(){} method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
