Unable to open Firefox browser with given URL - Selenium Webdriver & Java

Question

I have written the following selenium script which opens Gmail website.

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; <br>
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.*;

public class OpenGmail {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public void OpenGmailApp()
    {
        WebDriver webdriver = new FirefoxDriver();
        webdriver.get("gmail URL");
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        OpenGmail ob = new OpenGmail();
        ob.OpenGmailApp();
    }
}

When I execute the above script, I'm getting Firefox home page only. Its not gmail login page. Kindly guide what could be the error I made in that script.

Answer 1

If your jar files are old and the browser was updated to latest version, then download the latest jar files from selenium website -

You can also use the Selenium FF addon..

All the steps can be recorded in the addon and the script can be exported.
