  • 0

I started playing around with JSTestDriver tonight and got it to work without too many issues. I attempt use the –browser switch to have it autocapture chrome or firefox on my local system here; however, it always threw an error saying “permission denied”. I attempted to run the command using sudo and still the same thing.

java -jar $JSTESTDRIVER_HOME/JsTestDriver-1.3.2.jar --port 4224 --browser /Applications/Firefox.app

I can open Firefox using the above path from Terminal so know that the path is valid.

I feel like I’m missing something simple and small. Has anyone seen this issue and know what I’m missing?

UPDATE 1:
Tried to move Firefox out of the /Applications/ directory and still same issue even running under the super user account (using sudo).

    Found my issue.

    While /Applications/Firefox.app is what’s shown the GUI, the actual executable script for the program is in the /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox file.

    Changing the path to the deeper folder resolved the issue.
