Question

I had version of:

Firefox 24

But when I run Coded UI test I had received the next error:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestException: Failed to start up socket within 45000 ms

or the next error:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestException: An error occurred while connecting to Firefox

I folowed instructions of here: Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing

Please help to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Two things: update Selenium to v2.37 (v2.35 doesn't support Firefox 24) and don't use the strong-named assemblies unless you have to.

I mean, really, have to.

They create more problems then they are worth.
