RSelenium Throwing Error on initializing : - HTTP 403












2















I am using RSelenium package in my Ubuntu machine (server). However when I run function rsDriver() for initialization, I stuck with below error:



> library(RSelenium)
> rsDriver(browser = 'firefox', verbose = T)
checking Selenium Server versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking chromedriver versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking geckodriver versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 403.


Any idea how to resolve this error would be highly helpful.

          I ran into what appears to be the exact same issue. After inspecting the arguments for the rsDriver() function and realizing I was getting the error during the geckodriver version check (as are you), I decided to what other gecko versions were available. Using the code suggested in the rsDriver help section (geckover = what version of Gecko driver to run. Default = "latest" which runs the most recent version. To see other version currently sourced run binman::list_versions("geckodriver")), A value of NULL excludes adding the firefox browser to Selenium Server) I ran binman::list_versions("geckodriver"). I got the following output "0.20.1" "0.21.0" "0.22.0" "0.23.0". Then, using the second latest version, I subbed "0.22.0" into the geckover argument and everything appears to be running smoothly.
