Beginner learning Selenium WebDriver and here is my first attempt (in the pastebin link): https://pastebin.com/TC718eKi

OS: Ubuntu 23.04

IDE: intelliJ

Browser: FireFox

Dependencies: Selenium-Java (4.10.0)/ Selenium-API (4.10.0)/ TestNG (7.8.0)/ webdrivermanager (5.4.0)

But test failed with the following Error Message:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: Expected browser binary location, but unable to find binary in default location, no ‘moz:firefoxOptions.binary’ capability provided, and no binary flag set on the command line

    Hi, I’m not that familiar in selenium in both java and ubuntu. Have you tried installing firefox using apt instead since I believe this is caused by your firefox being installed either via flatpak or snaps.

      Firefox browser is the default browser that came with the ubuntu os. Been updating the version using snap though. A lot of the beginner material is suggesting to use chromedriver, I will eventually learn through that route, I’m just a bit stubborn when it comes to using the “not-so private” browser. Thanks for your response.
