FAILED TO CREATE NEW WEBDRIVER_DRIVER INSTANCE

[lukacmilos]

Hi,
I set my project according to this repository. It worked OK, but now some random tests are failed with following failure. Issue tends to appear randomly, without any detailed stacktrace. I think that implementation is correct, because majority of tests works, it means that RemoteWebDriver is created correctly and connected to browserstack. I'm using serenity with cucumber and tests run on BS. Please have you any idea?

Hey its resolved

[mghiraw]

Hi PratapSingh09
How did you resolved this?
We are also facing this.

[isabellogz]

Hi, I have same issue. How was fixed?

[mghiraw]

Hi I did not solve it, but we are getting it incidently. For that we have a workarround. I use a try and catch in a loop. @step(value = "Open de standaard startpagina (portaal/login)") public void open_default_page() { boolean fireFox = false; int maxAantalKerenProberen = 10; int t = 0; while ((!fireFox) && (t < maxAantalKerenProberen)) { try { t++; configureFirefox(); browser.reset(); applicationPage.open(ApplicationPage.LOGINPAGE, new String[]{}); fireFox = getDriver().getCurrentUrl().contains("portaal") ? true : false; } catch (UnsupportedDriverException | WebDriverException e) { LOG.error("Fout bij het instantieren van de Firefox Driver:", e); System.out.println("Fout bij het instantieren van de Firefox Driver: " + e); configureFirefox(); waitABit(5000); } } applicationPage.getDriver().manage().window().maximize(); commonSteps.logNaarHtmlRapport("Opened page: ", getDriver().getCurrentUrl()); } @step public void configureFirefox() { getDriver().quit(); Serenity.getWebdriverManager().resetDriver(); Serenity.getWebdriverManager().reset(); Serenity.getWebdriverManager().closeDriver(); FirefoxProfile myProfile = new FirefoxProfile(); myProfile.setAlwaysLoadNoFocusLib(false); myProfile.setPreference("focusmanager.testmode", true); Serenity.useFirefoxProfile(myProfile); } 2018-07-26 11:50 GMT+02:00 isabellogz <[email protected]>:

My problem was, that I had 2 jenkins jobs, each for one browser and I had more than one connection to BS, then I added localIdentifier(randomString) and my problem was solved.

[xescuder]

I've the same problem executing the git example of browserstack with serenity

[vayaszsolt]

Any news about this issue? I receive the same issue randomly. There are jenkins build where the RemoteWebDriver to browserstack can be created but also there are fails with the same message as in this issue is specified. I will welcome any suggestion how can I fix this issue, I spent a lot of time to find a fix for it.
