Answer 1

I ran into this error in a ruby on rails web app when running feature tests with rspec/capybara.

For me it was fixed by adding a "/" to the front of the url in the visit method.

so visit "your/test/path"

becomes visit "/your/test/path"

Answer 2

WebDriver api sends RESTfull request to Selenium server to execute a command. REST services uses http or https protocol for request/response. Hence when we call the url without mentioning the protocol prefix (in our case http), exception is thrown.

Answer 3

If the URL is saved with quotes in config file, it throws the f.queryInterface exception. Just remove the quotes for the URL and it will work fine.

Answer 4

The error is being thrown by webdriver's get method that is navigating you to the url that you provided. Most probably your URL is missing a protocol. So a wild guess would be, that you are passing url as www.example.com, but what you want to give is http://www.example.com

Answer 5

Another possibility is that you accidentally forgot/deleted the line require 'capybara/rails' in your test helper file in a Ruby on Rails project. Took me an hour to realize. Damn typos!

Answer 6

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: f.QueryInterface is not a function exception happens because of the missing protocol. If you are using url without protocol like (http or https) then it throws above exception.
