Please help, unable to execute test with Chrome

Asked by pratik shah

Hi Everyone,

I've made some progress with executing tests with chromedriver. When I execute a test the Chrome browser launches but fails to run the actual test. The error cited is :

("Can not connect to the ChromeDriver")

this error is found in the service.py file and refers to not being able to connect to the port.
        while not utils.is_connectable(self.port):
            count += 1
            time.sleep(1)
            if count == 30:
                 raise WebDriverException("Can not connect to the ChromeDriver")

Ive set my port to 9515 which is a free port, is there anything else that needs to run?

Also, I've set my chromdriver path in the webdriver file for chrome :

    def __init__(self, executable_path="/root/Downloads/chromedriver", port=9515,
                 desired_capabilities=None, chrome_options=None):

Again, the browser launches but the test fails to start. Any help or pointers will be much appreciated!

make sure you have the latest version of chromedriver executable for your platform:
http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

there is no configuration..... just drop the chromedriver file somewhere on your path.

hth.

Can you help with this problem?
