Gemini incompatible with latest firefox v50 #688
Description
I was trying to run the test using gemini on firefox (v50.0.2), although the firefox browser opened successfully, it didn't open the url in the address bar. Then in the terminal I saw this error message:
Cannot launch browser firefox: [init({"browserName":"firefox"})] The
environment you requested was unavailable.
Command:
sudo gemini update test.js
Code:
module.exports = {
rootUrl: 'http://example.com',
gridUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub',
browsers: {
chrome: {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome'
}
},
'firefox-latest': {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: "firefox"
}
}
}
};
The test runs successfully on chrome browser. I'm running MacOSX Sierra.
In the below link its mentioned that "Firefox v48+ requires Mozilla's geckodriver". Is it possible to install geckodriver with gemini? And can someone show how we can use it along with gemini?

@DudaGod Yes, chrome would not start at all otherwise, http://prntscr.com/hjw0c0, I run webdriverio tests with it, gemini version is latest available 5.0
sipayRT commentedon Dec 7, 2017
can you provide chrome and chrome-driver(from selenium-standalone) versions?
campside commentedon Dec 7, 2017
Latest available: 62.0.3202.94 64bit
selenium-standalone, also latest available through install: http://prntscr.com/hk7jvz
MacOs: 10.12.6

hm...
works fine for me
campside commentedon Dec 7, 2017
will check everything one more time
campside commentedon Dec 7, 2017
same configuration, reinstalled modules
same thing: green screen on running chrome then failure.
Is it possible that something could be missing in quick-start description? My colleague has the same result.
campside commentedon Dec 7, 2017
We have found the problem, we added: calibrate: false in .gemini.js
sipayRT commentedon Dec 7, 2017
but it's wrong solution - gemini should work with calibrate too
campside commentedon Dec 7, 2017
We have not found another way to run it

Is it possible in this case to update README and reflect the fact, that Firefox support is limited by older browsers?
Kenith commentedon Apr 18, 2018
I have build a docker image which support firefox 47.0.1, you could have a try here: https://github.com/Kenith/ta-visual-lib, and you could also get the samples.
Hope could be the help

Looks like this wd library is abandoned by maintainers. There is an open PR fixing that with no reaction for half a year
admc/wd#494
@sipayRT How do you feel about considering alternatives (webdriver.io or something else)?
generalov commentedon May 11, 2018
@Hypnosphi, the latest commit in
wdrepo was 11 days ago. Firefox example works fine at http://webdriver.io/guide.html.Hypnosphi commentedon May 11, 2018
OK, I'll try to summon the maintainer in that PR
Yes, that's on of the reasons why I've suggested webdriver.io as an alternative

It seems like
wdfixed it in admc/wd#533.Hypnosphi commentedon Aug 2, 2018
Gemini still fails for me with FF 61 and wd 1.10.1:
