Selenium fails with error: Service geckodriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 2

I am using

Selenium 3.0.1

Python 2.7.12

Firefox 50

I have set the geckodriver's path in PATH but still I am getting the below error while running the test:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service geckodriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 2

Also, in geckodriver.log in my home directory below is displayed:

Usage:

    geckodriver [OPTIONS]

geckodriver: Unknown option --port

if firefox can be found via your PATH, there is no need to explicitly set the binary location in your test code.

It sounds like you may be using an older version of geckodriver. Do you know what version you're using? The latest version is 0.11.1

I am using 0.9.0 Is the possible cause for this error?

It could be, there were quite a few fixes since 0.9.0. There's a good chance 0.11.1 will work better for you.

– Lucas Tierney

I just checked the project itself, looks like that option was in fact added for 0.10.0
