Unable to open firefox browser in Jenkins using selenium webdriver

Question

I'm using Selenium version 3.4.0 and geckodriver version 0.16.1 . My firfox version is 52.0.1 .

I have started Jenkins server through command line java -jar jenkins.war Jenkins server is working fine. But when I tried to execute Jenkins parameterized job (maven test) firefox opens for a moment and closes immediately.

Here is my trace log:

If I use chrome browser it is working fine in Jenkins.

NOTE: Same test is executing locally fine on firefox and chrome browser both.

My firefox configuration:

   public static WebDriver driver = null;
   DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
   capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
   driver = new FirefoxDriver(capabilities);

   driver.manage().window().maximize();
   driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
   driver.get("https://www.google.co.in");

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue ?

Here is the Answer to your Question:

The error says it all Missing 'type' parameter

It was a known issue on Missing 'type' parameter Build info: version: '3.4.0' on Selenium with Mozilla Firefox. You can find the discussion here .

Upgrading to Mozilla Firefox 53.x will solve your issue.
