Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed

Question

In Selenium Grid I am trying to execute a simple program and I'm getting Cannot find firefox binary in PATH though I have added the binary path in my code.
My code and the error are given below. Kindly need help. Thanks in advance.

Code

package Sample; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import org.openqa.selenium.Platform; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver; import org.testng.annotations.Test; import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest; import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest; public class sample1 {      WebDriver driver;      String  BaseURL,NodeURL; @BeforeTest   public void beforeTest() throws MalformedURLException {      BaseURL="www.google.com";      NodeURL="http://192.168.10.162:5566/wd/hub";      DesiredCapabilities capa =DesiredCapabilities.firefox();      capa.setBrowserName("firefox");      capa.setCapability("binary", "C:\\Users\\praveenraj.d\\AppData\\Local\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");      capa.setPlatform(Platform.ANY);      driver=new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(NodeURL),capa);   }    @Test   public void f() throws InterruptedException {       driver.get(BaseURL);       System.out.println(driver.getTitle());       Thread.sleep(50000);   }   @AfterTest   public void afterTest() {       driver.quit();   }  }

Answer 1

File pathToBinary = new File("C:\\user\\Programme\\FirefoxPortable\\App\\Firefox\\firefox.exe"); FirefoxBinary ffBinary = new FirefoxBinary(pathToBinary); FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(ffBinary,firefoxProfile); 

Answer 2

Another option is to configure the server rather than the test client.

Configure the slave node service so that it knows where the firefox is. Install location can change from node to node, or even need multiple services running on a node to support access to different versions of FF.

java -jar "selenium-server-standalone-2.2.0.jar"  -Dwebdriver.firefox.bin="C:\FirefoxCollection\Mozilla Firefox 36.0\firefox.exe"
