Selenium WebDriver - FirefoxDriver error: Failed to start up socket within 45000

Question

I\'m getting this error:

tests.IntegrationTests.Selenium.RegisterAndLogin (TestFixtureSetUp):
SetUp : OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Failed to start up         


        

Answer 1

I found that running an older version of resharper (9.2) failed to work with the latest nunit and that caused selenium to timeout.

The temporary solution was to disable resharper (Tools -> Options -> Resharper -> Disable), the permanent solution is upgrading resharper.
