I am trying to run selenium 2.25.0 on a macbook pro with eclipse. I have created a simple class using the documentation example code. The code errors on this line:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

with the message:

Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output: dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022

I have tried downgrading firefox from 15 to 14, 10 and 9, but none of those worked either.

Very grateful for any help anyone can offer! Thanks!

first obvious possible solution: Try another drivers: IE, chrome drivers. Secondly, 

 @Before
    public void openFirefox() throws IOException {


        driver = new FirefoxDriver();       
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        driver.get(propertyKeysLoader("http://localhost:8090/rms-web/login/login.jsf"));
        doAdminLogin();
    }

Often after creating instance of firefox driver you make getUrl operation. Make sure that url u wanna get to is accesible from your browser.Otherwise it can possibly be the server issue.

  • Thanks for your answer. Actually I traced it to a different issue. I'll post a separate answer.. – Bruce Sep 11 '12 at 12:39

Problem turned out to be that firefox-bin wouldn't start on the command line either. It seems to be something to do with running on OSX 10.5.

Fix is as follows:

cd /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS
mv firefox-bin firefox-bin.original
ditto --arch i386 firefox-bin.original firefox-bin
