for an upcoming automation project I want to utilize Selenium for Firefox. I followed THIS GUIDE. Now when I want to run the mentioned script from within that guide using 'node /path/to/script/scriptName.js, a Firefox window pops up for a milisecond and closes immediately. The script so far is only copy/paste the contents from the guide.
Node/npm and webdriver are installed successfully. geckodriver is at '/home' directory and put into '$PATH'.
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
By = webdriver.By,
until = webdriver.until;
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.forBrowser('firefox')
.build();
driver.get('http://www.google.com');
driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');
driver.sleep(1000).then(function() {
driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys(webdriver.Key.TAB);
});
driver.findElement(By.name('btnK')).click();
driver.sleep(2000).then(function() {
driver.getTitle().then(function(title) {
if(title === 'webdriver - Google Search') {
console.log('Test passed');
} else {
console.log('Test failed');
}
});
});
driver.quit();
The console throws a lot of errors then, but I am not able to read out, what exactly is malfunctioning here. Can anyone tell me, what I might have missed?
