Derek and I have been working on a Django web app as a side project, and of course, we decided that we needed to do some testing on it.
Derek at set up some basic Selenium tests, but I was having some difficulty running them with Firefox. The error message that I got said:
Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start browser session: Error while launching browser
A few of the solutions out there suggested that I dump my temp folder, or even create a new profile and tell Selenium to use it. Unfortunately, none of those solutions work.
It turns out that Selenium RC (I’m running 1.01) doesn’t play well with Firefox 3.6. I had to uninstall Firefox 3.6 and re-install Firefox 3.5 to get it running.
Sigh.
