Test run Failed: Invalid Browser name

Hi all,

Can someone help me with the following problem:

locations.ini:
[locations]
1=Test_loc
2=Public_Dulles
3=Appurify
default=Test_loc

;
; These are the top-level locations that are listed in the location dropdown
; Each one points to one or more browser configurations
;

[Test_loc]
1=IE
2=Test
label=Test Location
group=Desktop

[Public_Dulles]
1=WPT_Dulles_IE8
label=“WebPagetest.org - Dulles, VA”
group=Public

;
; Tese are the browser-specific configurations that match the configurations
; defined in the top-level locations. Each one of these MUST match the location
; name configured on the test agent (urlblast.ini or wptdriver.ini)
;

[IE]
browser=IE 11
latency=0
connectivity=LAN
label=“Test Location”
;browserExe=pagetest.exe
;key=TestKey123

;
; For a wptdriver configuration (chrome, firefox), the browser labels here
; MUST match the labels used in wptdriver.ini
;

[Test]
browser=Chrome
connectivity=LAN
label=“Test Location”

;
; This is an exaple of a “remote” configuration where tests can be proxied to a remote
; webpagetest instance. The test will be run by the remote server but the results
; will be downloaded to the local server and deleted from the remote agent
;
; Each location that you want to use from the remote server needs to be configured
; individually on the local configuration (location names do not need to match)
;
; To use the public webpagetest.org instance you will need an API key
;

[WPT_Dulles_IE8]
browser=IE 8
label=“WebPagetest.org Dulles, VA - IE8”
relayServer=“http://www.webpagetest.org/”
relayKey=
relayLocation=Dulles_IE8

;
; This is a special location for testing on Appurify mobile devices.
; Appurify offers mobile device testing as a service.
;
[Appurify]
1=Appurify_Mobile
label=“Appurify Mobile Testing”
lat=35.682175
lng=139.752731
group=Mobile

[Appurify_Mobile]
type=Appurify
label=“Appurify Mobile”

secret=

WPTdriver.ini
[WebPagetest]
url=http://127.0.0.1/
location=Test
browser=Chrome
;key=TestKey123
;Automatically install and update support software (Flash, Silverlight, etc)
software=http://127.0.0.1/installers/software.dat

Some how my test is not running:( it shows the error mentioned in the subject of this thread)

I’d start by removing all the stuff in locations.ini that’s not relevant but…

The main issue is there’s no browser specified in your wptdriver.ini

[WebPagetest]
url=http://127.0.0.1
location=Local-WPTDriver
browser=chrome
Time Limit=120
;Automatically install and update support software (Flash, Silverlight, etc)
software=http://your-webpagetest-server/installers/software.dat

[Chrome]
exe="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
options='--load-extension="%WPTDIR%\extension" --user-data-dir="%PROFILE%" --no-proxy-server'
installer=http://127.0.0.1/installers/browsers/chrome.dat

The path to Chrome changes depending on whether it’s a 32 or 64 bit OS, also you might want to add in sections for FF and IE eventually

Thanks Andy.

If I include my Chrome locations in wptdriver.ini, every time it tries to download the chrome(ending up saying software installation failed)

Note: I am not running VM. So I thought of removing the Chrome path in wptdriver.ini(I have chrome installed in my machine)

Is my assumption wrong. Please advice.

Try commenting out the installer line for Chrome
