I'm using SpecFlow with NUnit. Some scenarios require reboot computer in the middle of their running. I did not find any approaches to do it for specified technologies. Is there someone who can help me?
Call a command line command from your code to reboot the system should do it, but it would also kill the test run on that machine, so you would also need to schedule the test run to restart after the reboot.
Windows reboot command:
shutdown /r /t 0
As advised Niels, you can split your tests. And, after test is finished, save data on hard drive, then in next test suite read that data.

I use remote shh interpreter in PyCharm regularly, using the configured deployment. I often run remote programs from PyCharm GUI (using F5 key), that takes hours to complete (e.g. training a deep net). This unfortunately means that any network outage causes running script to exit and I have to run the script over again. Is there a way to detach the running script so it keeps running? In the sense similar to what screen or nohup is doing? I know I can run it in screen manually via ssh, but it is a bit inconvenient.
Ok. I found out that this feature is not implemented yet. There is however a suggested workaround
I'm having troubles running Ruby/RSpec tests against Safari 11 when I'm trying to run tests via ssh manually or via Jenkins (where machine where Safari exists is remote slave).
When executing tests, I'm getting following error:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError:
unable to connect to safaridriver 127.0.0.1:7050
What is weird is that I'm able to run tests when I'm logged to the Mac machine directly. This leads me to the conclusion that there could be some permission which, by default, disables execution from ssh session but not sure why?
Also, to my knowledge, Safari Driver is part of Safari 10+ and as such is not installed anymore as extension
Update: I've found out that safaridriver executable that should be spawned by tests cannot be spawned from some reason when I login via ssh.
Example:
/usr/bin/safaridriver -p 7050
It will just terminate with non-zero exit code while running same command directly on machine will run safaridriver in foreground. Since I expect Jenkins to be running test job on this machine, my idea to overcome this issue would be to launch safaridriver on this machine (by cron or launchctl) and then use this instance to connect to it with my tests. However, so far, I was not able to make my tests (Selenium/Capybara) re-use existing safaridriver instead of always trying to spawn new one on different port. Any idea on this would also be greatly appreciated.
This is my environment:
OS: MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
Browser: Safari 11.0.2
Thanks in advance
There is a possible workaround to do this. First you need to create a Automator Workflow or Apple Script that launches the SafariDriver
Then save this as a application. Let assume we name it SafariDriver7050.
Then from the SSH session you need to execute
open /Applications/SafariDriver7050.app
This will actually launch SafariDriver in the logged in session and it should work for you.
The caveat being shutting it down, you will need to first kill the SafariDriver7050 app and then you need to kill the safaridriver process. The order matters, else it will create a error dialog on UI
Edit-1:
As you suggested, it would be even easier to do this, when you wrap your test as a app and then it will be automatically be able to launch SafariDriver without any issues. The key to issue is using open command in a SSH session
Edit-2
Why does SafariDriver not work in SSH? Well if you look at the linux counterpart
In case of linux we can use the DISPLAY environment variable to launch an app in an existing display or we can use something like XVFB to launch the browser in a virtual display. That is the concept that most frameworks use in case of linux machines.
But Mac doesn't have such kind of feature, which is why this workaround is needed. Now why it doesn't have that, I am not sure. There may be some other workaround that I may not be aware of, so anyone who has valuable info, can help improve this part of the answer
For my case:
On OSX host side was created Automator app as described above and modified a little bit:
security unlock-keychain -p your_host_password /Users/$USER/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db
safaridriver --enable
safaridriver -p 7050
On CCI/Jenkins side:
open /Applications/StartSafariDriver7050.app/
run pytest cmd
osascript -e 'quit app "StartSafariDriver7050"'
pkill safaridriver
In Python:
def safaridriver():
return webdriver.Safari(desired_capabilities=Caps.SAFARI, port=7050)
I have ran a command here at work that my coworkers told me to run:
They told me that this command was supposed to run in background, once it takes hours and hours to run ... but after running the command, the prompt stucked in this "Sending output to nohup.out" and it's like this for more than 1 hour.
Question: can I shutdown my computer? Sorry about my ignorance, I do not understand anything about it. By the way, this is a windows command prompt, connected to an AIX server using Telnet.
You are at a command prompt, the output of the previous command wrote on top of it. Yes, you can disconnect from the remote system and the command will continue (it will ignore the HUP signal sent on disconnect). Yes, you can shut down your Windows client.
I am writing batch script to automate the product testing. After product finished installation, I need to force computer NOT to restart.
Is there any way to do that with batch script?
Thank for reading
Try shutdown -a. It will abort the shutdown process.
Developing a program on OSX using Java and IntelliJ. Deals with network sockets and ICMP. Hence, the program needs to be run as root or sudo'd on OSX. Program runs fine from a terminal window outside IntelliJ under sudo. However, I would like to debug and run it from IntelliJ (V9). In IntelliJ it errors (I need root privs to enumerate network devices). I know how to pass program and VM parameters in IntelliJ but now how to hit Run and/Debug and have it run under sudo? What is needed is basically sudo java ...... MyProgram instead of java ..... MyProgram Any ideas or workarounds.
I came out with an answer and wanted to share it just in case anyone else runs into this. To solve the problem, I took my cue from what I do with QT & QT Creator when doing network programming.
On OSX, I opened up a terminal window and cd'd down to/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.3.app/Contents/MacOS. There you will find a file called idea which launches the IDE. I ran that as sudo (sudo ./idea). That took care of permissions on anything Intellij launched and I could debug and step through my code as needed.
sudo /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.3.app/Contents/MacOS/idea
Since this is a dev machine and I am in control of it security is not an issue in this case.
Hope it helps someone else out.
Inside a terminal:
sudo -s
give access to the root user.
from there you could run the Idea IDE using the script:
/Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA*/bin/idea.sh
and in this way I'm able to work on network where permission errors where printed before.
Debugging of sudo programs is disallowed by the operating system unless the debugger is running as root, for security reasons.
So, even if you can figure out how to get IntelliJ to use sudo it won't do you any good.
I know this is not what OP directly asked -
In case someone needs to do this on Linux (Ubuntu), e.g. in order to update Idea, just run from command line:
sudo /usr/local/bin/idea
Only make sure once the Update and Restart is finished to actually close Idea and start it normally
I agree with #Darron, it is not recommended to execute IntelliJ with sudo.
You can execute with IntelliJ terminal instead.
I maintain my project in IntelliJ. When I need to execute a unit test that requires sudo access, I just open IntelliJ terminal and type:
sudo gradle test
Good luck!
