FirefoxWebdriver on remote machines


Is it required to install the Firefox web driver on the remote machines acting as node or hub? I tested the hub and nodes locally? I think, it is necessary to install the web driver on the hub and node. Any comments or suggestions?

Update:

Selenium jars are running (i.e. Java is installed and web driver also exists within the selenium jar as per the documentation). Why am I getting this error

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.remote.ErrorHandler$UnknownServerException: Unable to connect to    
host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:

Also,

(process:13023): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Error: no display specified

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • Yesterday, I was able to find the root cause, I was running these on the headless machines and needed those to be configured in order to launch ff. Thanks for your help!
