I need to run the Firefox browser in a remote machine, using a Robot test case.
My environment : RHEL 6.9 Santiago, python:2.6.6, Rebot 2.9.1, selenium2library
firewall rule created to access the remote machine (x.x.x.x:4444/) so accessing remote endpoint is not a problem.
Successfully configured selenium grid is running in the Remote machine
Remote machine configuration details: Selenium server standalone 3.4.0, Firefox Browser Version:53.0.3(32bit)
This is my robot test case
*** Settings ***
Library SSHLibrary
Library Selenium2Library
*** Keywords ***
Start Browser
[Arguments] ${navigation}
${dict} BuiltIn.Create Dictionary seleniumProtocol=WebDriver maxInstances=2 environment=firefox
Open Browser ${navigation} firefox None http://192.168.1.1:4444/wd/hub desired_capabilities=${dict}
*** Test Case ***
Start Browser http://www.google.com
When running the test case from my PC I'm getting the following error. Error message
19:50:36.131 INFO Opening browser 'firefox' to base url
'http://www.google.com'through remote server at'http://x.x.x.X:YY/wd/hub'
19:50:36.131 WARN Keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot' could not be run on failure: No browser is open

19:50:36.132 FAIL KeyError: 'desiredCapabilities'
What's wrong with this approach ? Any suggestions ?
