Selenium with PHP firefox browser issues

Question

I have a selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar running on my ubuntu system with firefox 35 version. I am using phpwebdriver.As I run my Selenium script it open up the firefox browser and ends there. My script is:

<?php
require_once "phpwebdriver/WebDriver.php";

$webdriver = new WebDriver("localhost", "4444");
$webdriver->connect("firefox");                            
$webdriver->get("http://google.com");
$element = $webdriver->findElementBy(LocatorStrategy::name, "q");
if ($element) {
    $element->sendKeys(array("php webdriver" ) );
    $element->submit();
}

//$webdriver->close();

?>

When I run this script it opens the firefox and stops there and at last it throws me this error. I don't know how to resolve it.

Answer 1

i had the same problem while running tests on Firefox. browser has opened but unable to locate the URL in browser and given error. tried many ways but no help. finally i added all the jar files to library as how we do in eclipse using build path > libraries.

it is working fine and I'm able to run my tests. using Firefox 35. Also upgrade your selenimum jar file version to (2.45).

Hope it helps!!!
