    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?

    – Dhruv Bhatnagar

  • 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.

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