How to run tests in behat on firefox 48 0 using selenium stand alone server

Question

Previously I worked with Behat 3 and Stand-Alone Server 2.45 and everything worked properly.

I use PhpStorm as my IDE. Later, after installing the update of Firefox (ver. 48.0) my tests stop working. I also try to run tests with Selenium Standalone Server Ver. 3.0.0-beta3 but Firefox browser not open.

Is there any way to run tests under browser FF 48.0?

Kindly share information about the working configuration of Behat, FF48 and Stand Alone Server?

Answer 1

Starting the selenium server standalone with chrome driver command,

for latest selenium (3.0+)

java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver.exe -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0-beta2.jar

for older versions (lower than 3)

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver.exe

So for the latest selenium, you need to specify the driver first and after that, the selenium jar.

Note: use the appropriate chromedriver version for your os
