Finally don't forget to download the drivers for Chrome and Safari (firefox driver comes standard with selenium). Once done, you can start coding and testing your code with the browser of your choice.
This release marks an important milestone on the path towards a stable release of geckodriver. Large portions of geckodriver and the webdriver library it is based on has been refactored to accommodate using for JSON serialization. We have also made great strides to improving, to the extent that geckodriver is now almost entirely conforming to the standard. Added. Support for WebDriver web element-, web frame-, and web window identifiers from Firefox.
Added support for the non-configurable setWindowRect capability from WebDriver. This capability informs whether the attached browser supports manipulating the window dimensions and position. A new extension capability moz:geckodriverVersion is returned upon session creation.
Changed. All JSON serialization and deserialisation has moved from rustcserialize to.

The HTTP status codes used for and errors has changed from Request Timeout (408) to Internal Server Error (500) in order to not break HTTP/1.1 Keep-Alive support, as HTTP clients interpret the old status code to mean they should duplicate the request. The HTTP/1.1 Keep-Alive timeout for persistent connections has been increased to 90 seconds.

An error is now returned when there is no active session. An error is now returned when is given invalid parameters. The handshake when geckodriver connects to Marionette has been hardened by killing the Firefox process if it fails. The handshake read timeout has been reduced to 10 seconds instead of waiting forever. The HTTP server geckodriver uses, has been upgraded to version 0.12, thanks to. geckodriver version number is no longer logged on startup, as the log level is not configured until a session is created.
The version number is available through -version, and now also through a new moz:geckodriverVersion field in the matched capabilities. The webdriver library has been updated to version 0.37.0. Fixed. Parsing values has been made WebDriver conforming, by allowing floats as input. Implicit downloads of OpenH264 and Widevine plugins has been disabled. The commit hash and date displayed when invoking -version is now well-formatted when built from an hg repository, thanks to. Many documentation improvements, now published on.
Added. New -jsdebugger flag to open the when Firefox launches. This is useful for debugging Marionette internals. Introduced the temporary, boolean capability moz:useNonSpecCompliantPointerOrigin to disable the WebDriver conforming behavior of calculating the Pointer Origin. Changed. HTTP status code for the error changed from 400 (Bad Request) to 404 (Not Found).
Backtraces from geckodriver no longer substitute for missing Marionette stacktraces. upgraded to 0.35.0.
Fixed. The Firefox process is now given ample time to shut down, allowing enough time for the Firefox shutdown hang monitor to kick in. Firefox has an integrated background monitor that observes long-running threads during shutdown. These threads will be killed after 63 seconds in the event of a hang. To allow Firefox to shut down these threads on its own, geckodriver has to wait that time and some additional seconds. Grapheme clusters are now accepted as input for keyboard input to actions. Input to the value field of the keyDown and keyUp action primitives used to only accept single characters, which means geckodriver would error when a valid grapheme cluster was sent in, for example with the tamil nadu character U+0BA8 U+0BBF.
Thanks to Greg Fraley for fixing this bug. Improved error messages for malformed capability values.
