Error in running test case using batch file via selenium IDE

I used Selenium IDE firefox plugin to record a test case then i used '.bat' command line to automate testing using the below command,

java -jar C:\Selenium\selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "http://16.52.110.123:8080/AntExample/userRegistration.htm" "C:\Selenium\First_Test_Real_Suite.html" "C:\selenium\logs\Result.html"

the test was perfectly working using the .bat script when suddenly today I am facing this error message in firefox when I run the script

Firefox can't find the file at chrome://src/content/TestRunner.html?auto=true&multiWindow=true&defaultLogLevel=info&baseUrl=http://16.52.110.123:8080/AntExample/userRegistration.htm&resultsUrl=http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/postResults&test=http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/tests/First_Test_Real_Suite.html.

I am all ears to fix this issue

This is indeed because Firefox 43 doesn't allow you to run unsigned add-ons. If you insist on using the old Selenium RC Runner and want to run the latest Firefox, you can enable add-ons again by allowing for unsigned add-ons:

  • In Firefox go to about:config
  • Look for setting xpinstall.signatures.required and toggle it to false

Now any unsigned add-on will run, including the Selenium RC Runner. Use it at your own risk ;-)

You are getting this issue due to latest Firefox browser update :)

First Download and Install Previous Firefox Browser Version 42.0 (Link : Click here)

and Try to execute same Selenium Test cases using Bat file. It will work properly. :)

Also after Installing Firefox browser, Don't forgot to set following option

Goto Tools >> Options >> Advanced Tab >> Update Tab >> select "Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)" option to disable auto update.

Running Selenium Test cases using bat file will work properly once new "Selenium Standalone Server" version get released (Current version is 2.48.2 will work for Firefox 42.0)
