How to setup Selenium grid remotely in protractor - selenium

Question

I have my conf.js file which runs fine locally. But now as per my requirement I need to run it in a bamboo task. Since my code is going to run on server there is a remote selenium webdriver that i need to add to the conf.js.
Can you please help me out how it is done? My conf.js looks like this :
exports.config = {
params: {
url: "URL",
testroadname:"Testing123",
sleeptime:1000
},
directConnect: true,
// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'chrome'
},
// Framework to use. Jasmine is recommended.
framework: 'jasmine',
// Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
// protractor is called.
specs: ['mapfeedback.js'],
// Options to be passed to Jasmine.
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
}

Answer 1

You have to remove directConnect = true and just give the seleniumAddress in your config or setup an environment.js file- you can simply add your remote selenium's address and fire up your protractor tests, following will be your environment.js-
// Common configuration files with defaults plus overrides from environment vars
var webServerDefaultPort = 8081;
module.exports = {
// The address of a running selenium server.You can add your remote address here
seleniumAddress:
(process.env.SELENIUM_URL || 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'),
// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
capabilities: {
'browserName':
(process.env.TEST_BROWSER_NAME || 'chrome'),
'version':
(process.env.TEST_BROWSER_VERSION || 'ANY')
},
// Default http port to host the web server
webServerDefaultPort: webServerDefaultPort,
// Protractor interactive tests
interactiveTestPort: 6969,
// A base URL for your application under test.
baseUrl:
'http://' + (process.env.HTTP_HOST || 'localhost') +
':' + (process.env.HTTP_PORT || webServerDefaultPort)
};
your config file will look like -
var env = require('./environment.js');
exports.config = {
params: {
url: "URL",
testroadname:"Testing123",
sleeptime:1000
},
seleniumAddress: env.seleniumAddress,
// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'chrome'
},
// Framework to use. Jasmine is recommended.
framework: 'jasmine',
// Spec patterns are relative to the current working directly when
// protractor is called.
specs: ['mapfeedback.js'],
// Options to be passed to Jasmine.
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 30000
}

To setup selenium-grid remotely for Protractor :-
start hub with command :-
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar -role hub -port 4444
Now start your remote node with command where you want execute remote test cases :-
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar -role webdriver -hub http://HubDomain-IP:4444/grid/register -port 5556 -browser browserName=internet explorer,maxInstances=1,platform=WINDOWS,applicationName=remoteNode -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=path to IEDriverServer.exe
Once your selenium-grid setup is done and node get connected with Hub, then take config file with configuratiion set as this conf.js file:-
exports.config = {
//The address of your running selenium Hub server.
seleniumAddress: 'http://HubDomain-IP:4444/wd/hub',
//Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'internet explorer',
// add node-name as applicationName where you have started node and wanted to remotely execute test cases
'applicationName': 'remoteNode'
},
//Specify the name of the specs files.
specs: ['grid_spec.js'],
//Options to be passed to Jasmine-node.
jasmineNodeOpts: {
onComplete: null,
isVerbose: false,
showColors: true,
includeStackTrace: true
}
};
With above mentioned configuration and setup commands you could run selenium-grid setup for Protractor.Thanks !
