I’m getting an error (posted in thread to this post) after evaluating the following:

geckodriver was installed to /usr/local/bin via brew install geckodriver

macrobartfast06:11:19

this works:

$ geckodriver
1667801104398	geckodriver	INFO	Listening on 127.0.0.1:4444

(although I stopped that before attempting to connect from the repl, and tried it with it running, too, just in case it would work; I also tried it with geckodriver running in this way and specifying :host and :port in the function, but perhaps incorrectly).

macrobartfast06:11:19

/usr/local/bin has

$ ls -al | grep gecko
lrwxr-xr-x    1 fun admin       44 Nov  6 22:31 geckodriver -> ../Cellar/geckodriver/0.32.0/bin/geckodriver

I'll be happy to help you out with this soon @U0X9N9ZK5.

lread13:11:13

Ok I read over the above, it looks to me like geckodriver is having trouble finding the firefox web browser binary.

lread13:11:42

I'm assuming you have Firefox installed?

macrobartfast03:11:31

Thank you for the help! I do… but it is the Firefox Developer Edition… hmmm.

macrobartfast04:11:00

I’ll install the regular one too and see if that helps.

macrobartfast04:11:36

And there we go! It works! You solved the issue… thank you so much! 😀 Apparently, the firefox developer edition does not work for this.
