Public bug reported: Hi all,
An application my team and I are developing makes use of a firefox selenium driver in python for ppc64le architectures. I noticed that this module in our application was not functioning due to an inability for the python library to connect to the geckodriver. I also noticed that the x86_64 version of our app is functioning with the same version of firefox and geckodriver. The python error we are seeing is the following: TimeoutException: Message: connection refused The timeout was set to 10 seconds, so I updated it to 40, and then 300 and got the same issue. geckodriver starts up without any errors. but selenium can't seem to connect to it. Upon deploying an old version of a docker container of our app (based on ubuntu 18.04), I compared versions of the old version, which selenium worked, vs the new version which selenium does not work. What I found was that although the apt packages for firefox and geckodrivers seem to point to a v75.0 build of firefox, the version in geckodriver did not change between version upgrades. so, firefox version changed 72.0.2 -> 75.0 geckodriver did not 36.0 -> 36.0 I suspect this is the source of the issue, because if firefox changes and the geckodriver remains the same, they won't sync up right. ========= Versions on non-working image (version from Apr 30, 2020 on ppc64le) ================= root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Release: 18.04 root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Candidate: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Version table: *** 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-updates/main ppc64el Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-security/main ppc64el Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 59.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic/main ppc64el Packages root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# apt-cache policy firefox-geckodriver firefox-geckodriver: Installed: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Candidate: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Version table: *** 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-updates/main ppc64el Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-security/main ppc64el Packages root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 75.0 root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# geckodriver --version geckodriver 0.26.0 root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# pip show selenium if you can create the driver successfully, you've made it past our bug.

I noticed that this module in our application was not functioning due to an inability for the python library to connect to the geckodriver. I also noticed that the x86_64 version of our app is functioning with the same version of firefox and geckodriver. The python error we are seeing is the following: TimeoutException: Message: connection refused The timeout was set to 10 seconds, so I updated it to 40, and then 300 and got the same issue. geckodriver starts up without any errors. but selenium can't seem to connect to it. Upon deploying an old version of a docker container of our app (based on ubuntu 18.04), I compared versions of the old version, which selenium worked, vs the new version which selenium does not work. What I found was that although the apt packages for firefox and geckodrivers seem to point to a v75.0 build of firefox, the version in geckodriver did not change between version upgrades. so, firefox version changed 72.0.2 -> 75.0 geckodriver did not 36.0 -> 36.0 I suspect this is the source of the issue, because if firefox changes and the geckodriver remains the same, they won't sync up right. ========= Versions on non-working image (version from Apr 30, 2020 on ppc64le) ================= root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Release: 18.04 root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Candidate: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Version table: *** 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-updates/main ppc64el Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-security/main ppc64el Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 59.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic/main ppc64el Packages root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# apt-cache policy firefox-geckodriver firefox-geckodriver: Installed: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Candidate: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Version table: *** 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-updates/main ppc64el Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports bionic-security/main ppc64el Packages root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 75.0 root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# geckodriver --version geckodriver 0.26.0 root@0d1a13cbda24:/usr/src/# pip show selenium if you can create the driver successfully, you've made it past our bug.
