Facing HttpHostConnectException when using geckodriver
I just started setting up automation in my office with selenium help, but only at a basic level. I used the basic code initially just to check the browser is working and the code is processed further, but the problem is.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class ABC {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\12345678\\
AppData\\Local\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
DesiredCapabilities dc=DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(dc);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10L, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}`
**Below is the error i am facing**

Your code looks great, but a couple of points:
-
To work with Selenium 3.x and Mozila Firefox 52.x, you need to download the latest gecko driver from this location and save it.
-
Instead of "firefox.exe" you need to provide the absolute path to "geckodriver.exe"
Replace:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\Users\\12345678\\
AppData\\Local\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
By:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\your_directory\\geckodriver.exe");
-
Finally, the code will look like this:
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\SeleniumUtilities\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe"); DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(); dc.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile); WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(dc); driver.manage().window().maximize(); driver.get("http:\\gmail.com");
This code works great for me.
Let me know if this helps you.
