--------------------------------

             Summary: Fail fast if path to browser is not valid
                 Key: ARQ-1045
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1045
             Project: Arquillian
          Issue Type: Enhancement
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Extension - Drone
    Affects Versions: drone_1.1.0.CR2
            Reporter: Karel Piwko
            Assignee: Karel Piwko
             Fix For: drone_1.2.0.next


There is no reason to delegate failure to Selenium. If browser binary does not exist for default selenium, simply fail fast. E.g.

{code:xml}
<property name="browser">*firefox /opt/firefox-9.0.1/firefox-bin</property>
{code}

{code}
java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not start Selenium session: Failed to start new browser session: java.lang.RuntimeException: Firefox 3 could not be found in the path!
Please add the directory containing ''firefox.exe'' to your PATH environment
variable, or explicitly specify a path to Firefox 3 like this:
*firefox3 c:\blah\firefox.exe
	at com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium.start(DefaultSelenium.java:109)
	at org.jboss.arquillian.drone.selenium.factory.DefaultSeleniumFactory.createInstance(DefaultSeleniumFactory.java:67)
{code}
