I have tried to install TestNG in eclipse Help--> Install new software http://beust.com/eclipse
I am getting following error:
Unable to connect repository http://beust.com/eclipse/content.xml
So I have downloaded testng-6.8.6beta.zip and imported those jars in Build Path and added Junit 4 library.
Still when I click Run As in the class (Test case) it does not show me Run As TestNG, shows only java application.
Am I missing anything?
You can try the following:
Open Eclipse -> Help -> Eclipse Marketplace.
and trying installing testNG plugin after searching it.
Try:
Open eclipse
Help > Install new software
Enter the update site URL in "Work with:" http://beust.com/eclipse/6.9.12
Click on ok
Edit:
Just click on http://beust.com/eclipse - it'll show you all the versions available.
Then Add the URL to work with as http://beust.com/eclipse/version_number (like the example given above)
Is there any possible way to execute the output of either Selenium IDE browser plugin or Selenium Builder plugin with the selenium-server-standalone.jar?
When I try to execute the Selenium IDE selenese output with the -htmlSuite flag of the selenium-server JAR, the server complains that sendKeys is not a valid command. sendKeys is a selenium V1 command, but the Selenium IDE outputs V2. You'd think the server could execute V2 syntax, but it can't.
When I save V1 syntax from Selenium Builder, and try to execute that with the -htmlSuite flag I get an error that "click" does not implement the event interface. (I'm guessing some other v1/v2 incompatibility)
There doesn't seem to be a way to execute the JSON output of Builder against the server either (there's a Jenkins plugin that claims to do this, but it doesn't seem to have enough logging or debug information to tell if it did anything at all).
Is there anyway to run the output of any GUI tool against Selenium Server 2?
UPDATE:
According to this bug, the selenese runner part of selenium server is abandoned. https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4349 But why would someone bother compiling, packaging and shipping abandoned code that doesn't work? I find it really hard to believe that something as popular as Selenium doesn't work with its own IDE browser plugin.
Yes, you can. First, do your research in the Selenium documentation and start a Selenium Grid on your computer. Then, you can use Maven to run Selenium Builder scripts (using a method like what I have done here: http://djangofan.github.io/maven-selenium-builder/ )
Of course, for the Builder scripts to connect to the Grid hub you need to change the calls to:
new FirefoxDriver();
to this instead:
new RemoteWebDriver( "http://hubIP:4444/wd/hub", capabilities );
, or something similar.
Thats it.
The correct answer is, "no, Selenium Server v2 does not support Selenium IDE output nor Selenium Builder output".
If you want to use the output of Selenium IDE browser plugin you need the incredible Selenese Runner project.
https://github.com/vmi/selenese-runner-java
Why this requires a 3rd party tool and isn't part of the Selenium family of products is beyond me.
I'm pretty newbie to selenium.
Im trying to configure selenium for a project in my university like the one configured with phppgadmin.
There is no .jar file, I dont need to run anything, dont even need to install libraries, etc... I dont know if this is a RC Server or Webdriver.
Also, I want to use the PHPUnit format, cause this way I can just export test cases from the Firefox Selenium IDE plugin. There is a way to do that?
There is a lot of information, webdrivers, etc in Internet but I believe the way phppgadmin do this is the best way.
If you're just looking for something quick and dirty Selenium 1 imported off of the IDE is probably for you. If in the future you plan on continuing your university project I would highly recommend learning about Selenium Webdriver (Selenium 2).
Just as a small aside: You can export your tests from the selenium IDE in any language you desire, PHP is just one of the many choices that include (Java (JUnit), Java (TestNG), Ruby, and Python). If you're interested in PHPUnit look here http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.1/en/selenium.html, this will give you the back drop on how to start coding your Selenium Tests.
If you're going to be using the selenium RC you want to go to http://seleniumhq.org/download/. Download Selenium server. You start the server with a java -jar command. So java -jar /path/to/sel/selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar. This will start the RC server and when you're interested in running some tests execute the tests and then selenium server will take care of the rest
I have Selenium IDE and i want to install Selenium Webdriver.
1) Can anyone tell me where can i download selenium webdriver. i don't see any link available in the documentation.
2)Can i use selenium webdriver with PHPUnit? I see some materials saying php is not supported in selenium 2 however there are some download links available for phpbindings for webdriver what is this exactly?
3)If i have Selenium webdriver do i still need selenium server to run test cases in different browsers?
I would appreciate your answers...
I completely agree with you. They have a ton of documentation, but they do a horrible job of explaining what you actually need. It took me about 2 days to put all the pieces together. You will need a few things...
If you are running tests with C#, download NUnit, C# client drivers. Create a class library project in Visual Studio and reference the dlls (assemblies) for NUnit (for appropriate dotnet version) and the C# client drivers. Compile your class library. It should create a dll inside of the bin\Debug directory. Then go into NUnit, create a project, and then open your assembly in that bin\Debug directory. That should get you started.
If you're developing using Java, download JUnit (not NUnit) and then download the Java Client Drivers, and use Eclipse instead of Visual Studio. You can launch JUnit right from Eclipse.
I've only tried NUnit and JUnit before. But I'm sure PHPUnit can also be launched from Eclipse (educated guess). There seems to be the most documentation for Java and Python.. from experience, but I've been doing everything in .NET and I haven't had anything I couldn't solve.
The Unit Testing software isn't required, but the code the format add-ins for Firefox Selenium IDE will build the code for NUnit (C#) or JUnit (Java), etc... so most use those tools.
If you want to get some boilerplate code, go into Selenium IDE and turn on experimental features under options. Then export your C# code (or Java code) from the format menu after you've recorded your commands. It won't all convert 100%, so be aware of that. Just google from there to get questions answered.
One thing to watch out for... clickAndWait commands won't convert to click and wait in the code. You will either need to do an implicit wait or a thread.sleep wait after certain commands before you'll be able to access the next element if you're waiting for an action to occur. You will also want to turn on native events so you can fire certain JavaScript events. Your fire events won't work if the driver doesn't have this turned on. The WebDriver driver.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
You can download Selenium server as well as client driver from the following:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list
You can download "php-webdriver-bindings-0.9.0.zip" from the following source:
http://code.google.com/p/php-webdriver-bindings/downloads/detail?name=php-webdriver-bindings-0.9.0.zip
In C# context:
Now the better way of including packages in C# project is using nuGet. nuGet is packaging utility which when executed from its powershell command window, quickly downloads the dll files and links them to project. Below link details on how to use nUGet to install packages of selenium webdriver, selenium support and nUnit.

My project is compatible only with Internet Explorer. I want the test scripts to get generated automatically as it is done in Selenium IDE.Can i use selenium RC to test my application?
I could not use selenium IDE as it can be used only with Mozilla Firefox.
Can you suggest any other free tools for my project.
thanks in advance ...
I think if you dig around for earlier versions of selenium they are compatible with IE. We use it here for front-end automation via IE6 anyway
