On my Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, I've created a Virtual Machine also running Ubuntu 24.04 with Groovy, Grails installed. I want to work through the book "The Definitive Guild to Grails 2" - the first app is the gTunes which I've created and done the first controller to basically is the Hello World. I'm trying to run the "./gradlew check" and it fails when trying to use firefox to do a check..

Reset to default 0There's a couple of things you can try to resolve this issue and get tests running with Firefox.
Try updating the geckodriver
version to '0.35.0'
in your build.gradle
file. I went to this page to see what the latest version of geckodriver is. I got an error running tests in my Grails 6.2.0 application when I specified version 0.36.0 (Driver url not found for name: "geckodriver", version regexp: "\Q0.36.0\E", platform: "mac", bit: "64", arch: "amd64"
), but '0.35.0'
worked!
webdriverBinaries {
if (!System.getenv().containsKey('CI')) {
...
geckodriver '0.35.0'
...
}
}
Secondly, try updating your Selenium libraries to the latest version. I checked out the Maven repository for Selenium Firefox Driver to determine what the latest version was. At the time of writing, it is 4.30.0
.
You can then find and replace all instances of the old selenium version in your build.gradle
file with the new version.
configurations {
all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details->
if (details.requested.group == '.seleniumhq.selenium') {
details.useVersion('4.30.0')
}
}
}
}
dependencies {
...
testImplementation(".seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-api:4.30.0")
testImplementation(".seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-remote-driver:4.30.0")
testImplementation(".seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:4.30.0")
...
testRuntimeOnly(".seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chrome-driver:4.30.0")
testRuntimeOnly(".seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-firefox-driver:4.30.0")
testRuntimeOnly(".seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-safari-driver:4.30.0")
...
}
