Coded UI Cross browser firefox does not work - c#

I have an issue with codedUI. I have recorded step in Internet explorer. Step are lunching a website, login to the website and more... I tehn installed CodedUITestCrossBrowser following the instruction i could find http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2012/10/30/introducing-cross-browser-testing-with-coded-ui-tests.aspx
I run the test in each browser. for IE and chrome the test work but with Firefox, it will not lunch the URL. The page open but nothing is done. My test will then give me this error.
Test method QaAutomatisation.Reseller.DristributorCreation threw exception:

I am using visual studio premium 2012 with update 2, Selenium 2.32.1 and the crossbrowser extension.
Hope you have everything
Thanks again for the help !!

I got this error because I had an instance of Firefox running prior to my test executing. Make sure all of your Firefox browser windows are closed before running your coded UI test in Firefox.

Selenium IE 11 test on Jenkins Master Server Using nunit3-console.exe

I have a Selenium IE 11 test written in C# that runs perfectly when run locally in Debug or Release. this code is deployed to a Win 10 box with Jenkins (NO SLAVES). The Jenkins "Build" is configured to build the code, copy the test.dll to a folder and then call nunit3-console.exe to run the test. the Jenkins Service is also configured with a Domain User Account as a Service Logon Account.
I can logon to the win 10 box as the (Jenkins) domain user, and open a cmd window and run the following with no problem at all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\Prod Login>"C:\Program Files
(x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console\nunit3-console.exe" C:\Prod
Login\Tests\bin\Debug\Tests.dll
but if you try to "Build" the solution via Jenkins Web UI, it has a problem during the Nunit test finding some elements after it does a few clicks and a submit.
I know the IE configuration is rock solid like I said the test runs fine in a command window when logged in as the (Jenkins) Domain account
here is the error I get:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.AssertFailedException :
Assert.Fail failed. ProcessError* By.XPath:
//input[#placeholder='Username'], Following element not found:
By.XPath: //input[#placeholder='Username'], Timed out after 75
seconds;
again I know its not the locator, it works with By.Id or By.Xpath in the command window, AND my Chrome, and Firefox test with the SAME code base just a different WebDriver all work.
I can't help but think it has something to do with the Identity that's being used by Jenkins and or Nunit
any help is greatly appreciated!!!
** UPDATE
I just tried to configure a Jenkins "Slave" with the service account
running as the Jenkins Domain user, no luck still...
I am unable to post just a comment, but I have a debug suggestion. I know what you are saying with "the selector works fine", so I am not suggesting that the selector is wrong in any way. However, I do suggest having the test spew the page source just before the failing command. Driver.PageSource. And post it somewhere you can get to it.
That way, you can identify that the driver definitely sees the elements in the DOM that it has available to it.
This will help eliminate a whole slew of potential problems. There is always the possibility that the driver is simply not seeing the html that these selectors would point to, even though we can see it with our own two eyes.

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Failed to navigate to "....". This usually means that a call to the COM method IWebBrowser2::Navigate2() failed

Trying to open Explorer on a remote server by calling 'new InternetExplorerDriver() in C#'. I have opened the task manager to check if it opens explorer. And I do see the IEDriver(32 bit) and Explorer running in the background processes. But it raises an exception when I tried to open a link by setting 'driver.Url'.
It works fine for the other browsers (chrome, firefox). But fails for Explorer.
I have tried the answer that was marked right at
IE11 Selenium WebDriverException: Failed to navigate. (org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException ...IWebBrowser2::Navigate2() failed
The 32 bit bit IEDriver works fine in my local machine. But when I tried this on a remote server, it failed. I have tried it with both 64 bit and 32 bit IEDrivers on the server. I get the same exception.
I have also tried by setting the security zones to same level (Internet Options).
Could you suggest me some solutions, that you have tried?.
Thank you so much!

Selenium Timeout after 60 seconds when trying to create FirefoxDriver

I am trying to create a simple Selenium Test Case using Firefox and C#. I have installed Selenium 3.8, Gecko 0.19 and have a portable copy of Firefox 54.0.1(64 bit).
When I try to run the following sample code, I get the error
The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL
http://localhost:61397/session timed out after 60 seconds.
I get the same error no matter what I try. I have shared the code I have created below
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(#"D:\TestProject1\bin\Debug");
service.FirefoxBinaryPath = #"D:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe";
IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(service);`
I get the error on executing the last line with timeout error. But, I do see a Firefox getting opened each time and cursor focused on the address bar each time
For geckodriver 0.19 Firefox 55 and greater is recommended. Upgrade the browser version.

Selenium(chrome) crashes on navigate

I am trying to open url with Selenium and Google chrome, however i always end up with chromedriver.has stopped working.
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(#"Path\To\The\Driver");
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com/");
i tried to sleep between initializing and going to url, however it does nothing.
As stated above, chromedriver version 2.25 will work. The problem with version 2.25 is that it crashes when running. You can see here the update history.
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/download .
I would suggest you use a later version of the driver.
Here is the link to the drivers that was given to me by visual studio. http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com
Choose a chrome driver version 2.37 for windows selenium version 3.11.1.
Any news on this topic? I have the same issue. The execution stops at driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(desiredUri); where the login window is shown. It waits for me to enter the username and password and manually it can be done but the execution has stopped there and it does not go to my next line var alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert(); from where I want to add the username and password.

Selenium Error - The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver timed out after 60 seconds

I've been using Selenium for a number of months, which we're using to automate some of our internal testing processes. The scripts have been passing fine. I've recently upgraded to C# 2.40.0 webdriver using FF 27.01 and our scripts are now failing in random places with the following error.

The latest error I've managed to track down to one single line of code:
_setup.driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//button[#class='buttonSmall lockBookingButton']")).Click();
The annoying thing is, trying to fix the problem is proving difficult, as if I run the test on my local machine, in debug it passes. Additionally, if I run it via the NUNIT runner on the build machine I'm running the test off, it also passes. It only seems to fail as part of our automated build running process when using Teamcity. Like I said, this has been running fine for months previously, and the only thing that has changed is the selenium webdriver kit.
I have experienced this problem before, whilst in debug, and when a Click() line of code was called, Firefox appeared to lock up, and only stopping the test would allow Firefox to continue. There are a number of suggestions on here including modifying the webdriver source? I'd like to not go down that route if possible if anyone else can offer any suggestions.
I had a similar issue using the Chrome driver (v2.23) / running the tests thru TeamCity. I was able to fix the issue by adding the "no-sandbox" flag to the Chrome options:
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("no-sandbox");
I'm not sure if there is a similar option for the FF driver. From what I understand the issue has something to do with TeamCity running Selenium under the SYSTEM account.
new FirefoxDriver(new FirefoxBinary(),new FirefoxProfile(),TimeSpan.FromSeconds(180));
Launch your browser using the above lines of code. It worked for me.
I first encountered this issue months ago (also on the click() command), and it has been an issue for me ever since. It seems to be some sort of problem with the .NET Selenium bindings. This blog post by the guy that works on the IE driver is helpful in explaining what's happening:
http://jimevansmusic.blogspot.com/2012/11/net-bindings-whaddaymean-no-response.html
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a real solution to this problem. Whenever this issue has been raised to the Selenium developers (see here), this is a typical response:
We need a reproducible scenario, that must include a sample page or a link to a public site's page where the issue can be reproduced.
If you are able to submit a consistently reproducible test case, that could be very helpful in putting this bug to rest for good.
That said, perhaps you can try this workaround in the meantime. If the HTML button that you are trying to click() has an onclick attribute which contains Javascript, consider using a JavascriptExecutor to execute that code directly, rather than calling the click() command. I found that executing the onclick Javascript directly allows some of my tests to pass.
Had same issue with Firefox. I switched over to Chrome with options and all has been fine since.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("no-sandbox");
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService(), options, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3));
driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad.Add(System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
In my case, my button's type is submit not button and I change the Click to Sumbit then every work good. Something like below,
from driver.FindElement(By.Id("btnLogin")).Click();
to driver.FindElement(By.Id("btnLogin")).Submit();
BTW, I have been tried all the answer in this post but not work for me.
Got similar issue. Try to set more time in driver's constructor - add eg.
var timespan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3);
var driver = new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile, timeSpan);
In my case, it's because I deleted the chrome update folder. After chrome reinstall, it's working fine.
In my case none of the answers above solved my problem completely.
I ended up using the (no-sandbox) mode, the connection with extended timeout period (driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capability, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3));) and the page load timeout (driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad.Add(System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));) so now my code looks like this:
public IWebDriver GetRemoteChromeDriver(string downloadPath)
{
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddArguments(
"start-maximized",
"enable-automation",
"--headless",
"--no-sandbox", //this is the relevant other arguments came from solving other issues
"--disable-infobars",
"--disable-dev-shm-usage",
"--disable-browser-side-navigation",
"--disable-gpu",
"--ignore-certificate-errors");
capability = chromeOptions.ToCapabilities();
SetRemoteWebDriver();
SetImplicitlyWait();
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));
return driver;
}
private void SetImplicitlyWait()
{
driver.Manage().Timeouts().PageLoad.Add(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
}
private void SetRemoteWebDriver()
{
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capability, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3));
}
But as I mentioned none of the above method solved my problem, I was continuously get the error, and multiple chromedriver.exe and chrome.exe processses were active (~10 of the chromedriver and ~50 of chrome).
So somewhere I read that after disposing the driver I should wait a few seconds before starting the next test, so I added the following line to dispose method:
driver?.Quit();
driver?.Dispose();
Thread.Sleep(3000);
With this sleep modification I have no longer get the timeout error and there is no unnecessarily opened chromedriver.exe and chrome.exe processses.
I hope I helped someone who struggles with this issue for that long as I did.
I think this problem occurs when you try to access your web driver object after
1) a window has closed and you haven't yet switched to the parent
2) you switched to a window that wasn't quite ready and has been updated since you switched
waiting for the windowhandles.count to be what you're expecting doesn't take into account the page content nor does document.ready. I'm still searching for a solution to this problem
In my case I found this error happening in our teams build server. The tests worked on our local dev machines.
The problem was that the target website was not configured correctly on the build server, so it couldn't open the browser correctly.
We were using the chrome driver but I'm not sure that makes a difference.
The problem is that the evaluation of Click() times out on your build env.. you might want to dig into what happens on Click().
Also, try adding Retrys for the Click() because occssionally the evaluations take longer time depending on network speeds, etc
In my case the issue was with SendKeys() and Remote Desktop. Posting the workaround I have so far:
I had a Selenium test which would fail when run as part of a Jenkins job on a node hosted in vSphere and administered through RDP. After some troubleshooting it turned out it succeeds if Remote Desktop is connected and focused but fails with the exception if Remote Desktop is disconnected or even minimized.
As a workaround, I logged through vSphere Console instead of RDP and then even after closing vSphere the test didn't fail anymore. This is a workaround but I would have to be careful never to login through RDP and always to administer only through vSphere Console.
We had the same problem. In our case, the browser was blocked by a login popup (Windows authentication), so not returning after 60 seconds. Adding correct access rights to the Windows account Chrome was running under solved the problem.
I had the same exception when trying to run a headless ChromeDriver with a scheduled task on a windows server (unattended). What solved it for me is to run the task as the user "Administrators" (notice the S at the end). What I also did (I don't know if its relevant) is selected the "Any Connection" from the task "Conditions" tab.
I was getting this issue. I'd neglected to update the Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver nuget package to match the version of Chrome I was using. Once I did that the issue was resolved.
changing the Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver from 2.40.0 to 2.27.0 is ok for me
The new FirefoxDriver(binary, profile, timeSpan) has been obsolete.
You can now use new FirefoxDriver(FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(), FirefoxOptions options, TimeSpan commandTimeout) instead.
There is also a new FirefoxDriver(string geckoDriverDirectory, FirefoxOptions options, TimeSpan commandTimeout) and it does works. But it's undocumented, and you need to manually specify geckoDriverDirectory even though it's already in Path.
Arrrgh! Faced this on macOS today and the issue was as simple as - the pop-up window suggesting to install the new Appium version was showing on the remote CI build server.
Just VNC'ing to it and clicking "Install later" fixed it.
I see this issue as well when running my tests so have been searching for the 'why' and the 'how to fix'.
My initial thought (after looking at the screenshot failures and the timeout message) was that the website performance must have gotten worse and that the website is taking longer to do some stuff which is causing the issue.
I've found a lot of solutions (which I plan to try out) HOWEVER, it seems like Most of the solution sort of indicate that the website performance (reaction time) got slower. If you have to change wait for 30 seconds to wait for 3 minutes, it is true that this will allow the test to pass ... but doesn't this mean we are having to wait around 3 minutes for the website to do something?
Question: Can 90% of the time this error message be chalked up to degradation of the website performance? I read some sites mentioned above and it sounds like the issue could also be with the chromedriver causing delays (maybe nothing to do with application issues). Is anyone brining this issue up to their application development team or are you just changing the wait times and not reporting?
I posted in selenium slack channel on how the timeout that we pass for Chromedriver constructor works and got this answer(C#).
"The timeout that you can set in the driver constructor is the 'command timeout' which is essentially the read timeout for the http client. The http client knows nothing about what the driver is doing.
If the page never loads and the command timeout is less than the page load timeout, you'll get an error saying "HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server timed out".
If the command timeout is greater than the page load timeout, the driver will respond to the client with a timeout error, and Selenium will report the message received by the driver."
For ChromeDriver the below worked for me:
string chromeDriverDirectory = "C:\\temp\\2.37";
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("-no-sandbox");
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeDriverDirectory, options,
TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));
Selenium version 3.11, ChromeDriver 2.37
