when i ran the test on firefox got an error as “SessionNotCreatedError: Expected browser binary location, but unable to find binary in default location, no ‘moz:firefoxOptions.binary’ capability provided, and no binary flag set on the command line” how to fix this? have updated the firefox driver and mentioned its environment too.
Tried running it with headless options. Changed the location of firefox installer and tried with updating the env path as well. nothing really helped. Where am i going wrong? Please advice!
