The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL

Question

I have read a lots of guides over internet, but stuck in this issue.

I have created a Class Library (.NET Framework) project called JuiceShopAutomation.

where I have installed following Nuget packages:

Selenium.WebdDriver (v3.8.0)<br>
Selenium.Support (v3.8.0)<br>
Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver (v2.33.0)<br>
Selenium.Firefox.WebDriver (v0.19.1)<br>
Selenium.WebDriver.IEDriver  (v3.8.0)<br>
MSTest.TestFramework (v1.2.0)<br>
MSTest.TestAdapter(v1.2.0)

I have also added following code to Class1.CS

using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium;

namespace JuiceShopAutomation
{
    public class Class1
    {

        public void Go()
        {
           
            FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"C:\WebDriver", "geckodriver.exe");   
            service.FirefoxBinaryPath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe";
            IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(service);

            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

        }
    }
}

I also have added another project to my solution, a new Unit Test Project (.NET Framework) called JuiceshopTests.

For JuiceShopTests I add the reference Project>Juiceshop Automation where all things are installed.

To the new Unit test project I add following code into the file UnitTest1.cs

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using JuiceshopAutomation;

namespace JuiceshopTests
{
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {

            var c = new Class1();

            c.Go();

        }
    }
}

Then when I run the unit test it fails and throws the below error:

Test Name:  TestMethod1
Test FullName:  JuiceShopTests.UnitTest1.TestMethod1
Test Source:    C:\Users\XXXXXX\source\repos\Creating an Automated Framework With Selenium\JuiceShopAutomation\JuiceShopTests\UnitTest1.cs : line 12

Could someone help me out?

Answer 1

You don't seem to be running the selenium server or a selenium grid for it to connect to.

Your create method is failing to start or detect the server, this could be for a number of reasons.

Failure to detect means it's probably not running. Failure to start means Permissions or Configuration failure are the most likely.

Answer 2

The solution was to downgrade the geckodriver from 19.01 to 18.00 and also downgrade Mozilla Firefox.

Then it worked as fine!
