Selenium - Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser
java, selenium
Solution
If you're using the last version of Selenium RC (after 1.0) you should change the following:
setUp("https://www.google.com/", "*chrome");
for
setUp("https://www.google.com/", "*firefox");
If this doesn't work, try creating a separate firefox profile and using that one:

Problem
I am new to Selenium. I generated my first java selenium test case and it has compiled successfully. But when I run that test I got the following RuntimeException ``` java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser at com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium.start <DefaultSelenium.java:88> ``` Kindly tell me how can I fix this error. This is the java file I want to run. ``` import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*; import java.util.regex.Pattern; import junit.framework.*; public class orkut extends SeleneseTestCase { public void setUp() throws Exception { setUp("https://www.google.com/", "*chrome"); } public void testOrkut() throws Exception { selenium.setTimeout("10000"); selenium.open("/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=orkut&hl=en-US&rm=false&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orkut.com%2FRedirLogin%3Fmsg%3D0&cd=IN&skipvpage=true&sendvemail=false"); selenium.type("Email", "username"); selenium.type("Passwd", "password"); selenium.click("signIn"); selenium.selectFrame("orkutFrame"); selenium.click("link=Communities"); selenium.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); } public static Test suite() { return new TestSuite(orkut.class); } public void tearDown(){ selenium.stop(); } public static void main(String args[]) { junit.textui.TestRunner.run(suite()); } } ``` I first started the selenium server through the command prompt and then execute the above java file through another command prompt. Second Question: Can I do right click on a specified place on a webpage with selenium.
