WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver(capabilities) Initialize Gecko Driver using Desired Capabilities ClassĭesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox() ĬtCapability('marionette',true) tProperty('','D:\GeckoDriver\geckodriver.exe' ) Using Desired Capabilitiesįirst, we have to set the system property for Gecko Driver. There are three ways to initialize GeckoDriver: 1. Unpack the contents in a convenient directory.īefore writing the test script, let us first understand how we can initialize GeckoDriver in Selenium. The downloaded file would be in zipped format. Here, we are downloading the 64bit version of GeckoDriver for windows. Open URL: in your browser and click on the appropriate version for GeckoDriver download based on the operating system you are currently working on. Give your Class name as 'Second' and click on 'Finish' button. Right click on the 'src' folder and create a new Class File from New > Class. We will create our second test case in the same test suite (Demo_Test). Let us consider a test case in which we will try to automate the following scenarios in Firefox browser. Note: Selenium 3 has upgraded itself to now launch Firefox driver using Marionette driver instead of the default initialisation supported earlier. Even if you are working with older versions of Firefox browser, Selenium 3 expects you to set path to the driver executable by the.

Selenium uses W3C Webdriver protocol to send requests to GeckoDriver, which translates them into a protocol named Marionette. Marionette (the next generation of FirefoxDriver) is turned on by default from Selenium 3. It acts as a proxy between W3C WebDriver-compatible clients (Eclipse, Netbeans, etc.) to interact with Gecko-based browser (Mozilla Firefox). Gecko Driver serves as a link between your tests in Selenium and the Firefox browser.

The term Gecko refers to Gecko browser engine which was developed by Mozilla Foundation as a part of Mozilla browser. In this section, we will learn how to run your Selenium Test Scripts on Firefox Browser.īefore proceeding with this section, let us first understand the basics of Gecko Driver.
