SeleniumException: ERROR: Command execution failure. Permission denied.

Question

SeleniumException: ERROR: Command execution failure. Please search the forum at http://clearspace.openqa.org for error details from the log window. The error message is: Permission denied.

Although my test runs perfectly in Firefox and also in IE when running in Debug mode, in IE in Run mode it fails with the error message above. selenium.waitForPageToLoad("20000"); doesn't seem to be a solution.

Any other ideas?

Answer 1

I used Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000); after the action that requires time to reload parts of the page. It seems to work, but not in all of the cases.

Answer 2

What command is failing with the Permission Denied? It may be when trying to access something that doesn't exist yet. I would recommend using the waitForCondition command to ensure the target element is present/visible before attempting to interact with it.
