How to install older version of Firefox on AWS (Ubuntu)? - amazon-web-services

I'm trying to use an older version of Firefox on AWS (running selenium, 55 isn't compatible) but I haven't had any luck. When I try to download the compressed older files, I get
(firefox:6186): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
Any ways to fix this/alternate ways to download?

I faced same issue with firefox when I was running selenium project with it. I did the following things that helped me. First uninstall the firefox by using command,
sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox
Some of the old files could also be there, you need to remove them manually.
Then you can install the previous version from the link provided below which shows list of all previous versions of the firefox, version 54, works fine for selenium.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox
When you install it, Mozilla build for Firefox would be opened as a browser and you can perform selenium tests there.
Hope this helps!

Termux error 502 and error: unable to locate package

today i opened termux for installing node.js on my phone (because i need npm), but it doesn't work, i runned pkg install nodejs but it gave me the error: unable to locate package nodejs.
I checked my connection and i'm connected to wi-fi with a really good speed, so i tried to install another common package to see if the problem was only for the node.js package or in the whole app,
i tried to install git and it gave me the same error.
So i started searching in forums: stackoverflow, github forum, termux wiki, etc...
I tried everything, apt update, pkg update, apt upgrade, pkg upgrade, etc...
Those gave me the error: the error
So, i don't know what to try anymore, please give me an answer, have a nice day.
This error is common one. You should change repository mirror for your termux packages.
Here is the instruction from the official Termux github page.
To select multiple repositories press space. To select new mirror for repositories use space and then enter.
Termux can be used for hacking and many other suspicious things which is definitely against playstore policies. So you just need to uninstall termux playstore version and download termux from F-Droid. That is actual termux not the play store one. You should not face any error in that termux.
Nothing else worked, neither running some command nor changing repo. The only thing which works is downloading termux from F droid

unknown error: call function result missing 'value' for Selenium Send Keys even after chromedriver upgrade

I am getting the below error while sending keys.
Result Message:
System.InvalidOperationException : unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120 (e3e53437346286c0bc2d2dc9aa4915ba81d9023f),platform=Windows NT 10.0.14393 x86_64)
I have updated the chrome driver to 2.36 but still my code search for 2.33?
Any idea ?
I've gotten the same error, please download the last ChromeDriver version and/or update chrome browser version and it will be working fine :)
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.36/
After updating the Google Chrome browser to Version 65.0.3325.146 (Official Build) (64-bit), I'm also encountered with the same error
while sending values to the input field, here's the error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
using Chromedriver 2.32 and Google Chrome 65.0
As I did some research on the same, I found a recent commit on Google chrome v65 changelogs which help me to resolve the issue.
Solution:
Update Google Chrome to latest stable version (in my case it's v65 on 9/mar/2018)
Download and configure latest chromedriver (v2.36).
For configuring chromedriver (on Ubuntu) follow these steps...
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Copy the extracted chromedriver file to /usr/local/bin or to the location where you usually store the executable binaries.
Add the same path (where you place the chromedriver file) to environment variable PATH as
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
For testing the installation, restart the terminal and type this command
chromedriver --version
it would show the version of chromedriver that you just installed.
Note: If the chromedriver already installed and configured then just replace the existing driver file and If you don't know where the Chromedriver binaries already stored then try to find the file using following command
sudo find -H / -type f -iname chromedriver
It is because of the update of chrome browser version from 64.xx to 65.xx
Now you have 2 options to run your tests successfully.
Downgrade your chrome browser to previous version and with the old chromedriver which you have now.
Upgrade your Chromedriver to 2.36 version with the updated Chrome browser.
visit https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.36 and download the new chromedriver.
Option 2 is better.
Replace your ChromeDriver.exe with latest version.. Same can be downloaded from Google easily.
Also its better to get it done automatically by using webDriver manager as explained below -
1. Add Mvn dependency to your project POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>${webdrivermanager.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Now in your Browser instantiation class instead of using traditional way to create driver i.e. by using System.setProperty(See belwo)...
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","src/test/resources/drivers/chromedriver.exe");
Use below approach:
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
webDriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
And that's all, you are done!
Use below links for your reference-
What is Browser Binary Manager how to use it for Selenium
or chkout git project for same-

Need to update chromedriver :
In console, run: chromedriver-update 2.36
The error says it all :
System.InvalidOperationException : unknown error: call function result missing 'value'
(Session info: chrome=65.0.3325.146)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120
The error clearly complains about InvalidOperationException
Your main issue is the version compatibility between the binaries you are using as follows :
You are using chromedriver=2.33
Release Notes of chromedriver=2.33 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v60-62
You are using chrome=65.0
Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.37 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v64-66
Your Selenium Client version is unknown to us.
So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver version (v2.33) and the Chrome Browser version (v65.0)
Solution
Upgrade Selenium to current levels Version 3.11.0.
Upgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v2.37 level.
Keep Chrome version in between Chrome v64.x-66.x levels. (as per ChromeDriver v2.37 release notes)
Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
Use CCleaner tool to wipe off all the OS chores before and after the execution of your test Suite.
If your base Web Browser/Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it through Revo Uninstaller and install a recent GA and released version of Web Browser/Web Client.
Execute your #Test.
If you are on Mac:
brew upgrade selenium-server-standalone
brew upgrade chromedriver
if the above two are not installed:
brew install selenium-server-standalone
brew install chromedriver
I'm running Protractor and have encountered the same issue.
The solution in my case was rather simple.
$ npm update protractor -g
$ webdriver-manager update
If you are on the latest stable Google Chrome (e.g. 67) I recommend to:
brew uninstall chromedriver
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install chromedriver
These set of commands will uninstall your current chromedriver, check for updates and install the latest found (e.g. 2.40).
Use xpaths instead of class names to locate elements
After updating chrome and its drivers it didn't helped me at all!!
I don't know how much it makes sense but it worked for me when i replaced class name with xpath. This is the xpath , i used to automate sending whatsapp message using python.
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="main"]/footer/div[1]/div[2]/div')
previously i Was Using
driver.find_element_by_class_name('Some class Name Here')
In my case the team I'm on points selenium to a specific chromedriver file we had. In order to get Selenium to use the updated chromedriver, I first installed it with brew and then created a symbolic link to point where Selenium looks for it:
brew install chromedriver
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/chromedriver/2.36/bin/chromedriver /path/where/selenium/expects/chromedriver
On the chance this might be helpful to someone I needed an additional step:
I am on MacOS X. I did
brew upgrade chromedriver
bundle exec chromedriver-upgrade
I have the chromedriver-helper gem installed, but it is stashed and requires the "bundle exec" prefix or the shell can't find the command.
The above fixed my problem.
As mentioned by others, the latest chromedriver did the trick for me. In case you downloaded the driver manually and want to tell appium to use the new chromedriver you can do so by this command:
appium --chromedriver-executable /path/to/driver/chromedriver ....
I'm running Protractor (webdriver-manager) with Selenium in a Windows environment, and I had to do the following:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome="2.36" (This downloaded the new Chromedriver to the right path but didn't enable it in protractor.)
Edit %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\config.json and changed the chromedriver value from 2.32 to 2.36.
Delete my old chromedriver_2.32.exe from %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\protractor\selenium for good measure (not sure if that was required.)
Or:
When another Chromedriver update became needed, I was no longer able to update this way. A configuration setting still expected the old path and filename, and I couldn't figure out where to change that setting. So I just renamed the latest chromedriver to "chromedriver.exe" and stuck it in C:\Windows\system32 (which is always referenced by PATH). Crude, but effective.
If you're using gulp-protractor plugin, make sure to update it as well.
I don't know if you're still on this, but I was receiving a similar error. I had the latest version of chromedriver in my PATH and Google Chrome was updated. I run Python 3.6 on windows 10 x64 bit. What I was getting trying to select a value from a dropdown menu on a webpage. The weird thing was, it would select the dropdown value correctly and the page would be updated nicely, but I'd receive that stupid error anyway and my script would freeze. So I just made an exception error handler for it, because like I said it selected the dropdown value correctly, so I just wanted to bypass that dumb error message:
# select by value
try:
select.select_by_value('100')
except:
pass
hopefully someone finds this helpful.
The issue is because of mismatch in chromedriver and chrome browser version.
Below link specifies the versions of chromedriver supporting the chrome browser's version.

Unable to Install GTK3.4(libgtk-3.so.0) to run firefox in AWS ec2

I am trying to run my selenium script which has been developed in Selenium 2.53.0 using firefox 46 in a headless AWS linux server. AWS has GTK2.0 and Firefox 46 is compatible with GTK3.4 and above.
I tried to install GTK 3.4 from the given links and it is installed but still I am getting error
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/firefox/libmozgtk.so:
libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
I do not have libgtk-3.so.0 installed in my system hence the error. If somebidy can help me on how to upgrade/install GTK 3.4 along with the said libraries to run my firefox in AWS EC2 server it will be really helpful.
The Links i have used : http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/3.4/gtk+-3.4.0.tar.xz
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/g/gtk3-3.22.15-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm
to install the GTK3
Installed Firefox 46 using the Code https://gist.github.com/joekiller/4144838 from here.
Thanks.

How do I install Jetty WTP Server Adapter for Eclipse 3.5?

Currently I am attempting to install the Jetty WTP Server Adapter for Eclipse 3.5 and get the following errors:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee,phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
No repository found containing: osgi.bundle,org.mortbay.jetty.serveradaptor,1.0.4
No repository found containing: org.eclipse.update.feature,org.mortbay.jetty.serveradaptor,1.0.4
To install, I attempt to add a new server runtime, click 'Install Additional Server Adapters' and follow the wizard I get when I click on the Generic Jetty Server Adapter that eventually loads. I've had this error in all the RCs up to this point, but currently the active RC is RC4.
I also found the 'Download additional server adapters" route to adding the Jetty (and Glassfish) server adapters failed, with the same dependency issues as the Original Poster.
Downloading the .jar and copying it into the 'plugins' dir of my Eclipse install idd not work. The Jetty server adapter was still not a recognised installed plugin.
I had to go to "Help->Install New Software->Add..." and enter the http://www.webtide.com/eclipse site manually. Then I could see the Jetty adapter, and install it successfully. It seems to have installed into the eclipse/plugins/ rather than copied a .jar file into eclipse/plugins.
This may be what the poster on 2 Jul was trying to say, but it wasn't very clear.
I don't know why, but the "download additional server adapters" dialog hasn't worked for me once with Eclipse 3.5, the install always fails with dependency issues.
I also found I had to manually install all the WST Adapter items to get around failed dependencies, for example:
"Web, XML and Java EE Development->JST Server Adapters", "WST Server Adapters"
and also the "Database Development" items. I'm not sure which were required.. when I'd installed everything that looked likely, all my dependency issues were resolved when installing the Glassfish and Jetty server adapters from their update sites.
There's a new (official!) Jetty WTP Plugin to support Jetty 7.x and 8.x: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty_WTP_Plugin
The problem could be resolved installing the JST Server UI before the Jetty Server Adapter. It is a current bug (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321663).
That way you can install it either as a plugin or in the servers view.
I think you need org.mortbay.jetty.serveradaptor.1.0.4.jar to install jetty adapter, download from http://www.webtide.com/eclipse , put it in plugins of eclipse.
Hope the answer could help you.

Problems installing django-1.0.2 on Windows XP

I'm a Windows user. I tried to install django-1.0.2 final through the command prompt and it kept giving me an error in line 70:
The error occured where u"SVN"... It couldn't get past that line.
What to do in order to be able to install django-1.0.2?
You do not have SubVersion installed on your machine. You are trying to synchronize from the current production stream via SubVersion, which is a source control system, which you do not have installed.
Easiest solution - download the latest official version per the instructions at http://www.djangoproject.com/download/
Please install a client for the Subversion Version Control System. Since you are on Windows, you can also use TortoiseSVN which is an easy to use SVN client for Windows.
Alternately, you can download the tarball of Django 1.0.2 directly.
And please don't SHOUT on Internet forums. We hear you :)
If I recall correctly, installing TortoiseSVN won't help you there cause Django's code tries to use SVN's command line version.
Install a command-line SVN like:
Slik SVN
CollabNet SVN Command line
What version of python are you using? I had the same error when installing on top of python 3.2 instead of 2.7. Django only works with 2.7.
