Robot Framework Internet explorer not opening

Question

I am writing some test cases in the Robot Framework using Ride. I can run the tests on both Chrome and Firefox, but for some reason Internet Explorer is not working.

I have tested with the iedriverServer.exe (32bit version 2.47.0.0).

One thing to add is that I am using a proxy. When I disable the proxy in IE and enable the automatic proxy configuration... IE can start up. But it can not load the website. For Chrome and FF the proxy is working fine.

Error message: WebDriverException: Message: Can not connect to the IEDriver.

Answer 1

I have also encountered the same problem.Below are the steps which i have followed.

1.I have enabled the proxy in IE.

2.Set environmental variable no_proxy to 127.0.0.1 before launching the browser Ex: Set Environmental Variable no_proxy 127.0.0.1

3.Set all the internet zones to same level(medium to high) expect restricted sites Open browser>Tools>Internet Options>Security Tab

4.Enable "Enable Protected mode" in all zones

Please let me know your feedback.
