Answer 1

First of all You are using a little bit old version of gecko driver. The newest from: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Then You need to set up system property with:

File gecko = new File("C:/Users/admin/Downloads/geckodriver-v0.19.0-win32/geckodriver.exe");    
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", gecko.getAbsolutePath());

If You really want to use marionette check answers on: Difference between webdriver.firefox.marionette & webdriver.gecko.driver

Answer 2

I haved this error for 2 days, the solution for me was in Set.Plataform put Platafor.ANY or Plataform.Windows because Plataform.WIN10 not worked, marionette wasn't necessary and I added and neether works, only works this. I hope this helps someone else:

public class Main { public static RemoteWebDriver driver;

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "D:/Lib/geckodriver.exe");
    DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities().firefox();
    desiredCapabilities.setPlatform(Platform.ANY);
    desiredCapabilities.setBrowserName("firefox");

    driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://172.20.19.182:5557/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);
    driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");
    driver.findElementByName("q").sendKeys("execute automation");
    driver.findElementByName("q").sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
    driver.close();
    // write your code here
}

}

Answer 3

You can also try using double \\\\ in the path of the geckodriver.

Also instead of using :

System.setProperty(
    "webdriver.firefox.marionette",
    "C:/Users/admin/Downloads/geckodriver-v0.11.1-win32/geckodriver.exe");

Can you try using

System.setProperty(
    "webdriver.gecko.driver",
    "C:\\Users\\admin\\Downloads\\geckodriver-v0.11.1-win32\\geckodriver.exe");

Answer 4

Title : Problem Resolved Solution Accepted : - Use latest version of gecko driver
