"unknown error","message":"connection refused","stacktrace" while trying to use firefoxprofile through GeckoDriver with Selenium on Mac OS X

I am getting connection refused error while creating a firefox driver.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "path to gecko driver");
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setLogLevel(FirefoxDriverLogLevel.FATAL);
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
options.addArguments("-profile", "./firefoxprofile");
options.setHeadless(true);
LOGGER.info("Completed setting firefox optons");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);

Log:

Web server is running and I could able to test it with curl command and I tried with 777 permissions on gecko driver bin file.

Also updated Gecko driver to latest version (0.24.0)

Solution

  • While working with Selenium v3.x, GeckoDriver v0.24.0 and Firefox Quantum v65.0 to use a new Firefox Profile on every run of your Test Execution you can use the following code block :

    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setProfile(new FirefoxProfile());
options.setLogLevel(FirefoxDriverLogLevel.FATAL);
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
options.setHeadless(true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
