My problem is: selenium standalone server log console shows blank
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Install selenium standalone-2.25.0.jar
Have test suites in same folder
Put in command to run the test through console
java -jar <location_of_selenium>/selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar -htmlSuite *firefox <website URL> <location_of_selenium>/Test_suite1/Test_suite1_ts <location_of_selenium>/Test_suite1_results.html
Expected output:
There are errors in my test and it should show in the Selenium log console as well as create a log file in my selenium folder.
Platform and other Details:
Selenium version: 2.25.0
OS: Ubuntu
Browser: FireFox
Browser version: 7
Pls look how this problem I solved:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar -htmlSuite *firefox http://libo.ru/ c:\temp\selenium\juzsay\testSute1.html testresult1.html
where:
website URL = http://libo.ru/
location_of_selenium = C:\temp\selenium\juzsay\testSute1.html (build with Selenium IDE)
location_of_selenium = testresult1.html (file with test result, in selenium-server-standalone folder)
Some remarks:
1) You should run cmd and open folder where your selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar file located in my situation is C:\tools\selenium2.0\
2) for help also user this command -h
Test suite names need to have .html extension in order for the logs to work
side note: for selenium to run all your tests and not just 1, you must add .html to your test case files as well.
SOLUTION: Rename the suite file to Test_suite1_ts.html

I'm about to run test suite parallel in Selenium IDE, so I have done the configuration (guided here) successfully.
Below is my selenium-side-runner folder.
My .side file is in "C:\Users\Sanjai\Downloads\OregonZoo.side".
When I run the cmd "selenium-side-runner C:\Users\Sanjai\Downloads\OregonZoo.side" it shows the error below:
I am currently working on configuring Jenkins to run selenium tests.
I am using Seleniumhq plugin and the Selenium HTML runner in the Selenium RC slot in the Jenkins configuration*.
In the particular job, I have a shell script running export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/geckodriver.exe to add it to the path followed by the SeleniumHQ htmlSuite Run step.
When it runs with this configuration, the job fails with the following errors message:

Publishing Selenium report...
ERROR: Test reports were found but none of them are new. Did tests run?
For example, /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/myjob-selenium-ide-test/workspace/suite1/results.html is 7 days 1 hr old
Build step 'Publish Selenium Report' changed build result to FAILURE
Finished: FAILURE
I can see that the issue is that the line System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","path/to/geckodriver.exe"); needs to be run. How do I properly configure this to happen? (I have tried to have it run as a Groovy build step, but this failed).
*(I have also attempted replacing it with an older version of the standalone server)
I am try to follow following references to run the selenium IDE test suites on standalone server . My ultimate purpose is to run headless data-driven tests on ubuntu.
Selenium RC with DataDriven
Running Tests from command line
Selenium Headless tests on Ubuntu
So after looking into these tutorials I have setup very simple test suite and trying to run from command line e.g
java -jar ~/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar -userExtensions user-extensions.js -htmlSuite "*firefox" http://google.com ./suite.html ./out/firefox-results.html
Output

It does not matter If I skip -userExtensions user-extensions.js,it gives same output , show two popup windows and hangs there. The firefox popup window shows test suite loaded successfully , but not command is executed further.
I wonder if I need to run/configure sth else
Example Test Suite and Test Case:
suite.html
case_a.html
Command
java -jar ~/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" http://www.google.com suite.html firefox-results.html
Tested Under:
A) OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8 x86_64 /java version "1.6.0_65"
B) OS: Windows 7 / java version : 1.7.0_02
Hacks Tried without any luck:
A) Removing xml tag
B) .html file extension
Since this question got much attention and needed a proper solution, which I found this way:
First of all we need proper addons to setup headless tests
Getting the right addons
I am already using following selenium IDE addons
datadriven v0.2
flowcontrol v08
includecommand 1.3
What I need is respective selenium addons which work with selenium core server for which I need
datadriven_v0.2-core.js
flowcontrol ( goto_sel08.js)
includecommand ( includeCommand_2.3.js) origional source
since openqa.org does not maintain these addons anymore (probably broken or so) You have to use wayback machine to get js files ( no luck with zip attachments). e g flowcontrol in wayback machine
Since I have done this already and created a gist with some fixes
datadriven_v0.2-core.js
flowcontrol ( goto_sel08.js)
includeCommand_2.3.js
user-extension.js ( all three of above combined)
Setting up Headless Tests
a) install xvfb ( X Vritual Frame Buffer and firefox )
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable xfonts-cyrillic xvfb x11-apps firefox
b) create xvfb init script /var/init.d/xvfb
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "`basename $0` {start|stop}"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
start)
/usr/bin/Xvfb :99 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x8 &
;;
stop)
killall Xvfb
;;
esac
c) add to startup script:
sudo update-rc.d xvfb defaults
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/xvfb
d) start the xvfb
/etc/init.d/xvfb start
e) Setup selenium Tests (you can put test anywhere)
sudo mkdir /usr/local/SeleniumTests && cd /usr/local/SeleniumTests
checkout/copy your html tests to /usr/local/SeleniumTests
f) create alias to test directory (config file 'selenium_alias')
(only allow from localhost)
<IfModule alias_module>
Alias /SeleniumTests/ /usr/local/SeleniumTests/
</IfModule>
<Directory "/usr/local/SeleniumTests/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
sudo mv SeleniumTests/selenium_alias /etc/apache2/sites-avaiable
sudo a2ensite selenium
sudo service apache2 restart
g) update selenium tests data
(/usr/local/SeleniumTests/tests/data)
e.g change test username/password and baseUrl to test app (which I have in xml file)
h) Download Seleninum Server jar file
sudo mkdir /var/lib/selenium/
sudo wget http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar -o /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar
i) Run the headless /Selenese Tests
export DISPLAY=":99" && java -jar /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite *firefox https://localhost "/usr/local/SeleniumTests/tests/my_app_smoke_testing_suite.html" "firefox-results.html" -trustAllSSLCertificates -ensureCleanSession -port 5561 -userExtensions /usr/local/SeleniumTests/addons/user-extensions.js
Note I have my selenium addons setup under /usr/local/SeleniumTests/addons
Some of the the steps might not be desirable in all situations.
Try this:
<Selenium server location path>java -jar <selenium-server name>.jar –htmlSuite "*<browser_name>" "<Url of base website>" "<Path of html_suite>" "<Path to store reports>"
selenium-server name :- selenium-server-standalone-2.xx.xx was used.
browser_name :- "iexplore" for Internet Explorer/ "firefox" for
Mozilla Firefox
Url of base website :- Base URL.
Path of html_suite :- The path of test suite you used to save file
(E.g.:"C:\TestSuite.htm", assuming "C" drive as location you used
to save test suite).
Path to store reports :-The path you want to save your test result
into (E.g.:"C:\TestResult.htm", assuming "C" drive as location you
used to save test result).
Some commands are not working in Firefox:
The user extension goto_sel_ide that defines the While and Goto
commands does not work with Selenium RC. Include the user extension
goto_sel08.js instead.
From: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Running_IDE_scripts_with_Selenium_RC
I think you are following these steps from this page:
Download goto_sel08.js
Download the 1.3 version of the includeCommand4IDE extension.
Download the most recent version (0.2) of the datadriven.js extension.
Merged these files to new user-extensions.js file. This order is critical!
create an xml file which must contain all the data–input and output–for a single test case.
Utilize your .xml file
Use Selenium-IDE or an editor to create an HTML test suite that includes your data-driven test as one of the tests to be executed.
Execute a command line:
-jar selenium-server.jar
-userExtensions user-extensions.js
-htmlSuite
"*chrome"
"`<base URL>`"
"`<Selenium test suite file>`"
"`<results log file>`"
-timeout nnnn
I don't post all steps. I think these steps are important for create data-driven testing from a Selenium-RC command line. Please check all steps!
Perhaps its working on Ubuntu OS, if its works on Windows. Two popup window is weird for me, but may be not is problem. I can only offer check these points:
create suite.html with firefox selenium IDE
try to use *chrome in command line.
Please check order of scripts in user-extensions.js file.
I hope it helps!
I have recorded some simple selenium tests by Selenium IDE. Now I want to run those tests in Jenkins.
Which plugin to Jenkins do I need to do that? And how to run the tests step by step? Help is appreciated.
you can use recorded selenium IDE script and selenium-server.jar file to run it from Jenkins
Here is steps:
Go to SeleniumHQ page and download Selenium Server file
Eg: selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0.jar
Repair html test suite Use Selenium IDE to record then save as
html test case and test suite then put them in a same folder
eg: TestCase.html, TestSuite.html
In jenkins
Plugin Seleniumhq
Configure Selenium runner file
Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Selenium Remote Control: htmlSuite Runner = path to file u have download in step 1
Configure Job to run
In Build field click " Add build step" then select "seleniumhq htmlSuite Run"
browser: *firefox or *iexploer ....
startURL: http://www.google.com or ...
suiteFile: Input absolutely path to TestSuite.html file saved in step 2
resultFile: Input absolutely path to a file that results will be saved
Hope this help!
I did the same but the following error occurred:
Unable to find the HTML runner. This is normally because you have not downloaded
or made available the 'selenium-leg-rc' jar on the CLASSPATH. Your test will
not be run.
Download the Selenium HTML Runner from http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ and
use that in place of the selenium-server-standalone.jar for the simplest way of
running your HTML suite.
I made then saved a test case with the Firefox extension "Selenium IDE".
Now I want to use command line to run this exported html file.
I try to follow this how-do-i-launch-the-selenium-ide-from-the-command-line-with-a-specific-test-case but it doesn't work.
Please help me.
You will need the Selenium RC which you can get from:
http://seleniumhq.org/download/
And Java 1.5 or higher (Download Java here)
1) Install Java
2) Unpack Selenium RC.
3) Open a cmd.exe window and go to the directory containing the Selenium Server (selenium-remote-control-1.0.1\selenium-server-1.0.1)
4) Run the command below:
java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "http://10.8.100.106" "C:\mytestsuite\mytestsuite.html" "C:\mytestsuite\results.html"
This should run your test suite in Firefox and write the results to the html file. Obviously you will need to change the "http://10.8.100.106" argument to your own server (this might just be localhost / 127.0.0.1)
It is possible to run individual test cases using Selenese Runner. You can specify a single test case file or a test suite as the unit to run.
We should execute the SeleniumRC in using following command;
java -jar filename.jar
ex:
java -jar program1.jar
the program1 consist of the followings are:
program1.class file
Resource library file such as SeleniumRC Server.jar and Selenium Java client.jar file
This method is applicable for SeleniumRC execution. We can directly create the program1.jar file from eclipse using
File->Export.
Here is an article that explains you step-by-step process of how to run Selenium RC application in Java.
Create a Java Selenium RC test script and executing the script
I have needed to do this before, and used the following:
An Ant Build (complex)
Creating a test runner class(a part of junit framework)class.
Most commonly we would run into build path errors while trying to run from cmd.
If you want to run it from command prompt you may consider writing your selenium test in python.
Make sure you have python installed if you are on windows. Mac will have python by default.
Running test from CMD is quite easy.
Follow below steps
1- Go to home directory and Set class path
Home Directory > set classpath=Home Directory\bin; and press enter
Home Directory > set classpath=Home Directory\lib*; and press enter
2-Home-directory > java org,testng.TestNG testng.xml testng2.xml testng2.xml and hit enter
I have documented all steps here. Hope it will help. Cheers
1) Running from CMD
java -cp "C:\ProjectX\Mortgage\bin;C:\Selenium_latest\selenium2.49.1\*;C:\Selenium_latest\selenium-2.49.1\libs\*" org.testng.TestNG C:\ProjectX\Mortgage\testng.xml
Run above command in C:\ProjectX\Mortgage
2) Create batch file name runner.bat
SET projectLocation=C:\ProjectX\Mortgage
CD %projectLocation%
SET classpath=%projectLocation%\bin;C:\Selenium_latest\selenium-2.49.1\*;C:\Selenium_latest\selenium-2.49.1\libs\*
java org.testng.TestNG %projectLocation%\testng.xml
PAUSE
3) Run the batch file by double clicking on it.
To be able to run in Chrome browser, you can use *chrome option instead of *firefox like below
java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*chrome" "http://localhost" "C:\testsuite\testsuite.html" "C:\testsuite\results.html"
Other browsers list include:
*firefox
*mock
*firefoxproxy
*pifirefox
*chrome
*iexploreproxy
*iexplore
*firefox3
*safariproxy
*googlechrome
*konqueror
*firefox2
