Selenium Marionette WebDriverException: File not found

Question

while trying to upload an file via selenium I get the following error.

INFO: Two days ago I had FireFox 46, instead of MarionetteDriver I used FirefoxDriver. All worked well. Now after the auto-update to FireFox 47, I have some problems.

This is how Driver is setup

FirefoxProfile fxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();

fxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
fxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false);
fxProfile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", this.workingDir);
fxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
                            "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");

// System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:/Entwicklung/marionette/wires.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:/Entwicklung/geckodriver/geckodriver.exe");

DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
dc.setPlatform(Platform.WINDOWS);
dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, fxProfile);
// dc.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
// dc.setCapability("marionette", true);

this.driver = new MarionetteDriver(dc);

Here's the JAVA

WebElement field = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[id$=\"uploadComp_input\"]"));

field.sendKeys("D:\\Projekte\\Ticket.xml" + Keys.TAB);

Documentation on WWW seems to be rare since FireFox 47 is quiet new, hopefully I find someone who can support me.

Thanks for reading

Answer 1

I had the same issue yesterday, after my firefox auto-updated to FF 47. I don't think the current version of Selenium is compatible with FF 47.

This is how I fixed it: 1. Uninstall FF 47. 2. Install FF 46, if you are using Selenium 2.53 3. Turn off FF auto-update in your FF options 4. Run your selenium code

I hope this helps.
