Gwen 2 has been released with the latest technologies including Java 8 and Selenium WebDriver 3. All binary dependencies have also been updated and the project is now built using Scala 2.12.
There is one impact to Firefox users but nothing else has changed. With the upgrade to Selenium 3, all browser vendors (including Mozilla) are responsible for developing and providing the native drivers for their own browsers. To use Firefox, you will now need to download a native Firefox driver and set the following in your gwen.properties file:
webdriver.gecko.driver=/your-downloaded-driver-location/geckodriver
The settings page on our Gwen wiki has also been updated.
Gwen 2.x will only run on Java 8 environments. Gwen 1.x will still run on Java 7 and above as before, but will no longer have new features added to it.
The latest Gwen release is available here. See also install instructions.
