I am newbie with selenium and writing selenium test cases, I am basically trying to modify existing code in order to enhance some functionality.
I am creating a webDriver using the following code :
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setBrowserName("firefox");
capabilities.setCapability("key", true);
capabilities.setCapability("key", "value");
if (driverUrl != null) {
System.out.println(" Capabilities are "+capabilities.toString());
try {
URL url = new URL(driverUrl);
System.out.println(" DriverUtil: createDriver() path: "+url.toString()+" protocol "+url.getProtocol()+" hostName :"+url.getHost()+" port "+url.getPort());
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(url, capabilities);
System.out.println(" WebDriver is "+driver);
return driver;
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Failed to create remote web driver for url " + driverUrl, e);
}
}
The url as well as the capabilities have the following values :
DriverUtil webDriver is http://xyz-qaa.abc.no
Capabilities are Capabilities [{browserName=firefox, key=value}]
I have modified the url in this question but as such the url has a valid value and can be opened in the browser.
But when I try to run the test cases I see this :
Caused by:
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Map
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.startSession(RemoteWebDriver.java:218)

at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.<init>(RemoteWebDriver.java:129)
at heimdall.ui.webtest.DriverUtil.createDriver(DriverUtil.java:46)
I have looked around to find a solution for this but I am unable to find one. Any suggestions?
I am not entirely sure which version of selenium is being used, because I am not the original author, but in te eclipse project I did find that the org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-remote-driver/2.32.0.jar and selenium-firefox-driver-2.32.0.jar is being used.
