As far as I understand, "Selenium server did not return proper status" happens in the Selenium::Remote::RemoteConnection class. Here is how we can try to get more information on this problem:

  1. perldoc -l Selenium::Remote::RemoteConnection to display the file name of the module
  2. perl -d yourprogram.pl
  3. f path/to/Selenium/Remote/RemoteConnection.pm
  4. Use l command to view the source and b command to place a breakpoint before croak "Selenium server did not return proper status";
  5. c to run the program; after it stops on the brakepoint, use x to examine values of variables and expressions. Does Selenium client really connect where it is supposed to (localhost:8190)? What is returned in $status object?

I had a problem with Selenium client incorrectly guessing that I have a webdriver running and trying to connect to my I2P instance.
