I bootstrap PhantomJS in my Selenium tests by using Phanbedder.
This downloads and extracts the correct version of PhantomJS to a temp dir and my Selenium tests then use this version.
Is there a similar bootstrapping option for CasperJS?
I am working in a Java project and I already call casper from Java using a process builder.
If you install CasperJS using NPM, it includes some PhantomJS version in its node_modules directory. This is likely an older version.
Otherwise, no (I'm not familiar with such a project).
How would that even work? CasperJS is directly built on top of PhantomJS. It runs in PhantomJS. So, you would have to have an additional script for downloading such a version.
You would have to implement it yourself. You can set the PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE environment variable to point to your intended PhantomJS executable.

We use Protractor to automate our angular app and now need to run those protractor tests from a Bamboo CI server.
I'm new to Bamboo and was wondering if anybody could either show me how to or point me to a web article that would show me how to trigger/execute my protractor tests from Bamboo server.
Locally, we run the tests using gulp protractor which all run and pass; Now I'd like to execute those same tests from a Bamboo server.
I was only able to find some articles on Google that shows how to set up Selenium with Bamboo. I understand that Protractor uses Selenium under the hood but am just not sure if Protractor would follow the same steps as Selenium does, when setting it up on a Bamboo CI machine.
If Protractor follows a different setup than Selenium on a Bamboo CI machine, could someone please point me to either another article or simply show the steps here if it's simple to do.
This question is already a few months old, but it's still unanswered, so I try to help. ;)
I haven't tried it by myself, but there is a gulp task in bamboo. (as also mentioned here: gulp tasks execution in bamboo)
I think you have to install node.js on you bamboo server and then you can just add the gulp task to your plan and configure it for your needs.
Short field description:
Node.js executable: should be filled if you have installed Node.js on your bamboo server, or select the correct one if you have installed multiple versions of Node.js (I haven't installed Node.js, so there is no executable available for me)
Gulp executable: I'm not so femiliar with gulp, but I think this default value should be correct in the most cases.
Task: In your case you should insert protractor here
I am working on developing test automation code in selenium, I want to use 'sikuli' inside my code to handle windows and Flash objects in my web application,
I'm using 64-bit JVM, but there is no 64-bit version of Sikuli available, this is resulting in an error while running the code,
"Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform"
I could not find a 64-bit sikuli Jar on internet, but I found that Sikuli source code is hosted on GitHub, could someone help me understand if I can use that source code and compile it into a jar of 64 bit version?
I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
If you install Sikuli 1.0.1 you have the option to install 6 packages with it as well. I would recommend installing the first 5. Then you will have all the things you are ever going to use.
If you also work on different sytems other then Windows, the 6th packages is also advisable.
I have installed all 6.
Finally got this working, here is what I did,
Download the sikuli set-up Jar from
"https://launchpad.net/sikuli/sikulix/1.0.1/+download/sikuli-setup.jar"
Save this jar in a folder 'SikuliSetup',now create a sub directory
'Downloads' which will come into picture later.
Run the above Jar, this will generate two files under the above
directory.
Now run the 'runSetup.bat' file generated from above setup. This
will start the setup, now select the 4th and 6th option in the
'sikulisetup' pop-up and click on 'setup Now'.
The above step will fail for most people due to default security
issues.
If the above step fails then you need to download an offline
version of this jar from this URL
"https://launchpadlibrarian.net/156273987/Sukuli-1.0.1-Offline-Setup-Java-option3-option4.zip".
UnZip the above file and copy the '1.0.1-3.jar' file to 'Downloads'
directory created under the 'SikuliSetup' directory previously.
Now run the 'runSetup.bat' file again, this will generate a new
jar file 'sikuli-java' and its dependent libraries under 'lib'
folder.
That's it, now copy this jar 'sikuli-java.jar' to your java build
path in eclipse.
Now Java will use this sikuli libraries without any issues.
Once after you setup the jar file under build path, restart the
system and login again.
I am new to Selenium/WebDriver and created a project which I can execute through Eclipse IDE successfully. Now, I plan to run the test through command prompt by creating the proper TestNG1.xml and making sure the testng-6.8.5.jar is correctly pointed in PATH. I even tried giving full path of the testng-6.8.5.jar. Unfortunately I keep getting the error,
Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG
I don't have JDK installed (and I don't want to install) so wondering if JDK is mandatory to run TestNG tests from Command line? From above error it looks like it's not even trying to access the TestNG1.xml I have.
I plan to distribute these tests as group of files to my fellow Business Analyst who only have JRE installed on their machine.
Yes, you need JDK installed where you are going to run your Test Here is some documentation of TestNG
Having JRE is enough to run the TestNG tests, or no need to install JDK to run the TestNG tests through command line
the issue was with the testng-6.8.5.jar library as selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0.jar was allowing me to run the project with no errors.
I'm a QA and I want to use Spock + Geb for my testing. As I understand I have to setup grails (or gradle, or something like that) to use Spock + Geb. Or Grails is not required? In this case what is the minimal set of programs that I need to install to successfully test any application? Where I need to write test and how to run it?
Sorry for such stupid questions, but all this stuff is new for me and I don't really understand how it works.
The Grails web framework isn't required at all, unless the web app you are testing is written in Grails.
The Gradle build tool isn't necessarily required, but then you don't want to manually download Spock and Geb, manually compile the tests, manually run the tests, or manually set up an IDE. A build tool can automate all of this, and if you aren't using one already, Gradle is the easiest choice.
The Geb Manual explains how to set up a Gradle build for Spock+Geb and links to a fully working example project. Cloning this project (or downloading the zip) will get you started quickly. You don't even have to install Gradle, but can just run it via the gradlew (*nix) or gradlew.bat (Windows) script (for example gradlew test).
I did a patch in the HtmlUnitDriver.java file, as explained here:
Is it possible to ignore JavaScript exceptions when working with WebDriver (HtmlUnit, Ruby bindings)
I've followed the explanations on the selenium build wiki and in the readme, also the tip given here:
Building the Selenium Server Project
Still, I don't have a jar file like selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar which can be run and used as a headless browser for selenium tests.
... So I'm trying to recreate the selenium-server-standalone-2.xx.jar file with my patch, and use it to run my headless tests.
Can anyone explain to me how to do this? Thanks!
The best way I found is to do:
go //java/server/src/org/openqa/selenium/remote/server:server:uber //java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium:client-combined:uber
This will create a single jar for the selenium server
Then run go release.
The resulting .jar should be found in build\dist folder of the selenium source folder. (ex. ./build/java/server/src/org/openqa/grid/selenium/selenium-standalone.jar)
See also https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/Building-WebDriver#tips.
Here is a step by step building guide for selenium standalone server. The build process of selenium projects may be not so strait forward to newbies, so I recommend this detailed guide on how to create a runnable standalone jar.
