startProfile(FirefoxProfile, File, String) undefined for the type FirefoxBinary

Is the method startProfile(FirefoxProfile, File, String) in FirefoxBinary deprecated ?

I have imported the latest selenium jar in my java project and I am having a compiling error when I'm trying to use startProfile(FirefoxProfile, File, String). It says : The method is undefined for the type FirefoxBinary. My code looks like this :

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(myProfileDir);
profile.setPreference("webdriver.load.strategy", "unstable");
try { 
        binary.startProfile(profile, myProfileDir, ""); 

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace(); 
    }

And when I look at the type hierarchy of the jar file, there is no startProfile(FirefoxProfile, File, String) method in the FirefoxBinary class.

Is there a way to solve this problem, or is there an other method that does the trick ?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Are you using the latest selenium standalone server jar ? If so, try the previous releases and choose the selenium server zip. Make sure you include all the jars in your build path.
