Huxley record session fails with null exception

[jhulme]

I'm having a problem when attempting to start a fresh record with Huxley. The exception error returned is below:

------------------------------------
Running Huxley file: huxtestfile.txt

WebDriverException: Message: None ; Stacktrace:

I have installed Huxley into a python virtualenv and ensured that the selenium server is running before attempting to start the record. My huxley file is a very basic:

[login]
url=http://2.2.2.2/login.html

I've confirmed my web application is accessible from Firefox (using the above URL) and I can navigate to 127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub successfully.

Checking the response in Fiddler shows POST request contains a NULL value for the sessionID. The resulting NullPointerException error appears to be the root cause of my Unknown Error.

{"sessionId":null,"status":13,"value":    {"message":null,"localizedMessage":null,"suppressed":    [],"cause":null,"class":"java.lang.NullPointerException","hCode":3963113,"stackTrace":    [null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,    null,null,null,null,null,null]},"state":"unhandled     error","class":"org.openqa.selenium.remote.Response","hCode":2501105}

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Issue was resolved by updating Selenium to latest version and then subsequently altering huxley - requires.txt file as per issue #42.
