Not able to launch firefox browser with specific language in geb spock with selenium 3.3.1

Question

I am using geb spock framework which was working excellent with Selenium 2.52.0 and I was able to launch different browsers with different languages. For that I have written below GebConfig.groovy file.

When I upgraded selenium version to 3.3.1 and Firefox version as 56, I am not able to execute test cases on Firefox. Browser is getting launched however not able to load the url and getting below errors. I have tried several methods, however for time being please refer below GebConfig.groovy and error details:

GebCOnfig.groovy

Can you please guide me on this front, because my requirement is very specific to launch browser in multiple languages as well. The GebConfig file is working fine for chrome.

Thanks

Answer 1

I am able to resolve this issue by performing below settings: Selenium version : 3.6.0 Firefox Version: 56.0 Geckodriver version : 0.19.1

Then performed below changes in GebConfig.groovy

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setLogLevel(Level.OFF)
        options.addArguments("incognito")
        def firefoxDriver = new FirefoxDriver(options)
        firefoxDriver.manage().window().maximize()
        firefoxDriver

Firefox launched successfully.

Thanks for your help on this.
