Selenium timeout in Volt 0.9.5pre4

Question

I tried to run

BROWSER=firefox rspec spec

on a freshly created Volt App

and got this error:

Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError:

unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)

The app hangs and raises that error after a long wait.

Is Volt Framework not locking selenium webdriver down to the correct version?

Answer 1

So, the solution was to upgrade selenium-webdriver:

  gem 'selenium-webdriver', '2.47.0'

Also, upgrading volt 0.9.4pre9 (or 0.9.5) will fix this as well.

gem 'volt', '0.9.4pre9'
