Josh sent me to http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/9-important-tips-for-selenium-remote-control-java-client-test-tool/ for some trouble shooting tips. At this site they said that the error was caused by firefox not being on the path. I added it to the path and confirmed that it will open from the command line but same error. I updated from firefox 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 but still same error. The tests have been working previously. I have installed chrome since my last successful test? Has anybobody seen this error before?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Sorry I didn't think of this before, but the version of Selenium we're using doesn't work with Firefox 3. Try installing Firefox 2 in a different directory (they can coexist without problems), put it first on your path, and see if that helps.

Thanks,
Josh

The more recent builds of selenium will work with Firefox 3, but they haven't made an official build yet. I've been running some old version for a while now without any problems except for the Study BVT running slowly.

You can find the nightly builds of selenium here:

http://nexus.openqa.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/openqa/selenium/selenium-remote-control/1.0-SNAPSHOT/

Dig around in one of the selenium-remote-control-1.0-XXXXX-dist.zip files to find selenium-server.jar and selenium-java-client-driver.jar and replace your local versions in <labkey-root>/server/test/lib. Before replacing the jars, run "ant stopSeleniumServer" from the server/test directory.
