Originally reported on Google Code with ID 6988

Selenium version: 2.39.0
Watir-webdriver: 0.6.4
OS: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
Browser: Firefox
Browser version: 26
ruby version: 1.9.3p484

I have a cucumber/ruby/watir-webdriver project that runs fine on OS X 10.8.5 but need
to setup a new machine with the project. However this machine is using 10.9.1. When
I run my project on the new machine I get the following errors:

f.QueryInterface is not a function (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)
      [remote server] file:///var/folders/k2/t6yj80_s3p3byy9fc3jrn9h00000gn/T/webdriver-profile20140213-93954-1fpyqq0/extensions/fxdriver@googlecode.com/components/driver_component.js:8720:in
`FirefoxDriver.prototype.get'

      [remote server] file:///var/folders/k2/t6yj80_s3p3byy9fc3jrn9h00000gn/T/webdriver-profile20140213-93954-1fpyqq0/extensions/fxdriver@googlecode.com/components/command_processor.js:10778:in
`DelayedCommand.prototype.execute/<'

This webdriver-profile directory does not exist on the new machine but does on 10.8.5.
Not sure why that is. Not sure why I am getting a webdriver issue when I running watir-webdriver.
Is it because of a dependency? Tried posting this on the watir-webdriver github page
but was told it was a webdriver issue and should be posted here. Any help on how to
resolve this is much appreciated.

Thank you.

I was able to get around this issue by doing the following:

Downgrade to FF v25
Install java on the mac
Download and run selenium server
After running it once I stopped the selenium server

Reran the my project tests and it worked fine.

Maybe the foxdriver is not getting installed properly?

How can I extract the foxdriver from selenium server? Is it the file named webdriver.xpi?
I can't ask everyone that needs to run this project to go through all these steps.


Thanks.

Too many changes at once :)

Can you downgrade Firefox to version 25 only and retest with watir-webdriver in the
original OS configuration? (without Java and seleniuim server)

I believe I did that first before trying with selenium server but I will try it again.
Once I do I will post the results.

Without seeing the actual code that caused this error, I can only take a wild guess.

OP might be using something like driver.get('www.seleniumhq.org') without specifying
the protocol, where it should be driver.get('http://www.seleniumhq.org') instead.

Code to reproduce OP's error:

  # Environment tested:
  # Linux Mint 16, Ruby 2.1.1, selenium-webdriver 2.41.0, Firefox 29
  require 'selenium-webdriver'

  driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
  driver.get('www.seleniumhq.org')

Coming back to leave an answer. Was able to fix this on a few other machines by downgrading
the browser only to FF25. We have since upgraded to FF28 without the issue reappearing.
