sounds like we found the culprit!

With the latest push the failure seem to be fixed. We are in process to decide which patches exactly need to be backed out. So once done and a Nightly build shipped I would like to push one more time to this PR for verification.

It's really interesting that this issue can only be seen in GitHub Actions.

@titusfortner I could actually need your help here for the failure in the Ruby bindings which is related to the assumption that a window manager would set the DESKTOP_SESSION. Like the following tests work now with a window manager running:

  1) Selenium::WebDriver::Window can maximize the current window FIXED
     Expected pending 'Test guarded; no reason given' to fail. No error was raised.
     # ./rb/spec/integration/selenium/webdriver/window_spec.rb:108

  2) Selenium::WebDriver::Window can make window full screen FIXED
     Expected pending 'Test guarded; no reason given' to fail. No error was raised.
     # ./rb/spec/integration/selenium/webdriver/window_spec.rb:119

  3) Selenium::WebDriver::Window can minimize the window FIXED
     Expected pending 'Test guarded; no reason given' to fail. No error was raised.
     # ./rb/spec/integration/selenium/webdriver/window_spec.rb:130

I wonder if we should simply set the DESKTOP_SESSION=fluxbox environment variable manually given that Fluxbox isn't doing that, or removing this particular behavior completely and always enforce that a window manager is needed to run the browser tests. Without one all the window manipulation tests aren't guaranteed to work.

Regarding the Java failures I would suggest we defer until Ruby is done. Thanks

If we need a way to detect a window manager a better way should be the following:

xprop -root -display :99

If it's not failing to connect to the display and no window manager is installed we should expect a couple of _NET_* lines to be returned.

[titusfortner]

No, this is great. We only guarded them that way because I want to be able to run locally on linux and remotely on travis/github and have everything "pass" for the right reasons. If everything guarded for window_manager now works, we can completely remove that guard.

There is one Java test that now works with Firefox 105. I've created a separate PR: #11046.

[whimboo]

There are quite a few failures for Java on trunk as well. Those started between September 13th and 15th:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/actions/runs/3092869938/jobs/5004771191

The failures look similar to me so I don't think that this PR should be blocked on them. @titusfortner if you could have a look and review this PR I would appreciate.
