I've ran into the following error when doing the function test on Chapter 5, Page 140

PHPUnit 3.6.3 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Running Fedora 16 so don't have Internet Explorer (not sure if this matters). The reply of this Yii forum post did help: Error in running functional test

I added below line to WebTestCase setUp() and it runs without Exception now.

$this->setBrowser('*firefox');

Edit: on a side note, at page 138, the lazy coders may replace

<?php echo CHtml::checkBox('test1', true)?>
<?php echo CHtml::checkBox('test2', false)?>
<?php echo CHtml::checkBox('test3', true)?>
<?php echo CHtml::checkBox('test4', false)?>
<?php echo CHtml::checkBox('test5', true)?>
<?php echo CHtml::checkBox('test6', true)?>

with

for($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++)
  echo CHtml::checkBox('test' . $i, $i % 2 == 0);

The error is about correct selenium configuration. In your case you've configured it in runtime. You can use XML config that's under test directory of your application as well.
