HTTP code indicates that request is invalid at line 168

[Vertexwahn]

I tried this program on Ubuntu 22.04:

#include "webdriverxx.h"

using namespace webdriverxx;

int main()
{
  FirefoxOptions opts;
  WebDriver browser = Start(Firefox());
  browser.Navigate("https://duckduckgo.org");
  Element elem = browser.FindElement(ByCss("input[name=q]"));
  elem.SendKeys("sha512 helloworld");
  elem.Submit();
  getchar();

  return 0;
}

I get the following output:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'webdriverxx::WebDriverException'
  what():  HTTP code indicates that request is invalid at line 168, file include/webdriverxx/detail/resource.h called from ProcessResponse (HTTP code: 405, body: HTTP method not allowed) called from Download (request: GET, command: , resource: http://localhost:4444/session/28380e5c-dcb6-46cc-b7f1-5a8454491694) called from CreateSession

Is it intended that this error is thrown? I guess not. Does this happen only in my system?

I see Firefox popping up and disappearing again - I assume that is the default behavior?

Same for me (Only starting Firefox) Fedora 38 Selenium Server 4.13.0 EDIT: Selenium Server 4.0.0 too EDIT: Idk what is GET request to /session/<session-id> supposed to do, but python selenium webdriver does not do such request

[dczaretsky]

I'm seeing the same issue on my end. Is there a fix for this?

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.1 I've tried both Selenium 4.0 and the latest 4.15.

What I've noticed is I see a similar message in the python webdriver library if I don't supply the "execution_path" parameter to the Service object. This is different than the binary location. However, there is no place to supply this in this library.

@tokox @dczaretsky I tried almost every version of selenium server from the last 3.X iterations to the latest, seems to not work at all, any news or idea how to solve this? maybe rolling back to a old commit of webdriverxx?

[0xVZ]

SOLVED! I did a checkout of https://github.com/GermanAizek/webdriverxx/commit/0b04c449b6f187ecff67addaf1a22ae23a43afd9 and all runned smooth, just a couple of comments in the CMakeLists.txt of the example to compile on linux and firefox works and goes to DuckDuckGo without a problem.

So the current working is commit 0b04c449b6f187ecff67addaf1a22ae23a43afd9 with selenium-server-4.0.0-beta-4.jar standalone

@0xVZ thanks for sharing! I did checkout this commit but I'm still having trouble getting this to run on Ubuntu with the selenium-server-4.0.0-beta-4.jar. The error I keep getting is the following upon startup. Have you run into this? Any thoughts?

@dczaretsky odd... i would try doing the checkout, making sure the current HEAD is at the commit, build and grab the error and see if the error is different that what you got building from the last commit.
