I am trying to set Firefox to use IPv6 as opposed to the default IPv4 because it runs extremely slowly compared with Chrome. I have followed the instructions on the following threads:
Firefox Webdriver is extremely slow
Selenium geckodriver executes findElement 10 times slower than chromedriver (.Net)
My code looks like this:
FirefoxOptions firefox = new FirefoxOptions();
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
service.Host = "::1";
firefox.AddArgument("-headless");
return new FirefoxDriver(service, firefox);
I have also tried passing in the geckodriver location like this:
FirefoxDriverService service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(LocalConfig.Root "bin\\Debug", "geckodriver.exe");
The error I get is the following:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Cannot start the driver service on http://localhost:50171/
If I set service.Host to be an empty string, the tests will run without any errors.
If I pass it a load of random characters, it'll produce the same error as above, leading me to wonder if it even recognises the ::1 string.
Am I missing something obvious here? Thanks
