net.thucydides.core.webdriver.UnsupportedDriverException: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver

Question

I am using mac mojave 10.14.3, JDK 1.8, Serenity core 2.0.40 (latest) to develop my test cases. They all run perfectly well either with Chrome ver. 73(100% of time) or Firefox ver. 65.0(99% of time) on my local mac system. Our Jenkins is running on Redhat linux with no GUI. We installed Firefox browser( Firefox version 60.5.0 probably the latest available) since Chrome is not supported/ unavailable for RH Linux. When I merged code and ask my admin to run the git branch on Jenkins, I always get errors. I have these in my project code itself: Selenium-java :3.141.59 Selenium-api: 3.141.59 Selenium-server: 3.141.59 geckodriver:0.24.0 chromedriver:2.45.615355 Today after every test running 100% pass on my local Mac system, ran on Jenkins(RH Linux box) I am getting this error (ran 2 times). net.thucydides.core.webdriver.UnsupportedDriverException: Could not instantiate class org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver at net.thucydides.core.webdriver.WebDriverFacade.newDriverInstance(WebDriverFacade.java:154) Caused by: net.thucydides.core.webdriver.UnsupportedDriverException: Could not instantiate new WebDriver instance of type class org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver (Timed out waiting 45 seconds for Firefox to start.

*********POSSIBLY A BUG ?????** According to this page, [Serenity BDD Book]https://serenity-bdd.github.io/theserenitybook/latest/web-testing-in-serenity.html I prepared my config.properties file as ... Chrome Browser Headless Testing webdriver.driver=chrome headless.mode = true drivers.windows.webdriver.chrome.driver = src/test/resources/webdriver/windows/chromedriver.exe drivers.mac.webdriver.chrome.driver = src/test/resources/webdriver/mac/chromedriver drivers.linux.webdriver.chrome.driver = src/test/resources/webdriver/linux/chromedriver Firefox Browser Headless Testing webdriver.driver=firefox gecko.firefox.options = {"args": ["-headless"]} drivers.mac.webdriver.gecko.driver = src/test/resources/webdriver/mac/geckodriver drivers.linux.webdriver.firefox.driver = src/test/resources/webdriver/linux/geckodriver But I was having problem as reported above UnsupportedDriverException: I need to say, everything worked perfectly on my local Mac system, but NOT on RedHat Linux machine with Firefox browser 60.5 version (which should work with geckodriver 0.24.0) But our Jenkins System Admin added the geckodriver to system path, then it WORKED !!!!! Our Jenkins Server is running on RedHat Linux.
