Selenium Grid with Selenese html based test cases - selenium

Can I any body help in following questions?
How to use Selenium Grid with Selenese html based test cases?
How to distribute load for Selenese test cases on different machines using Selenium Grid and Selenium RC?
Please reply. Thanks
Sajjad

As you've noted, Selenium Grid only helps with the routing of Selenium RC requests to registered workers. If you come up with some way to run your Selenese through Selenium RC, that would work. Otherwise, there's no special handling of Selenese through Selenium Grid.

playwright integration with Selenium Grid

I have started using playwright automation tool from last few weeks, I want to understand, Is it possible to run playwright test using selenium grid? how I can point my test cases to grid hub endpoint using playwright?
In case of selenium we simply use RemoteWebdriver but I am not finding similar option in playwright.
Yes it is. You can use BrowserType.connect_over_cdp() to connect to your existing Chromium browsers over the Chrome DevTools Protocol. But this has the downside that you can't use WebKit or Firefox with it.

How to keep data after headless browser selenium tests are passed?

Currently, we are using selenium for the automation test within our projects. We are using PhantomJs WebDriver to be able to run headless browser tests on bamboo. We want to be able to see the data(or content) which are created and saved by tests using PhantomJs but looks like the content will be gone after that tests are passed.
If we run the tests on Firefox driver without PhantomJs, we can see the content (or data) which is created by tests.
How we could config Phantomjs WebDriver in selenium to be able to see new content (or data) after running tests?
Any suggestion?

Does Behat started to use selenium webdriver?

I know , behat framework uses Selenium stand alone server to run the files which is not very effective. Has it been updated to use selenium webdriver ??...
"uses Selenium stand alone server to run the files which is not very effective. Has it been updated to use selenium webdriver"
Using the stand-alone server is irrelevant. The stand-alone server has both Selenium RC and Selenium WebDriver built in. It all depends on which classes you are extending from.
So to your question:
Has it been updated to use selenium webdriver?
Behat is just a DSL of sorts... If you are using Behat with Selenium, then it depends on what you are extending your classes from.
Behat itself has nothing to do with selenium.
Web automation is implemented in Mink, which is used with Behat via the MinkExtension.
All the drivers supported by Mink out of the box are listen in their docs:
GoutteDriver
BrowserKitDriver
Selenium2Driver
ZombieDriver
SahiDriver
SeleniumDriver
As you probably noticed there are two selenium drivers - SeleniumDriver supports the old SeleniumRC protocol - while Selenium2Driver supports the webdriver.

Selenium Junits on headless browser

I have recorded scripts through Selenium IDE and converted them to JUnit 4 Webdriver scripts.
Of course converted scripts had to be changed to run smoothly as Junits. Now my next goal is to make these scripts run on CI, So obviously I need some headless browser for this purpose. I found some threads, but I am looking for Junits specifically.
What could be the best solution/approach for this, any help in this regard is appreciated.
Take a look at PhantomJS. It is a headless WebKit-based browser and there is Selenium WebDriver for that called GhostDriver.
That's what i use and is OK but there is also the option of using a headed browser like Firefox or Chrome and then use Xvfb to ignore screen output.

JUnit Format in WebDriver vs WebDriver Backed

I have recorded a test case in Selenium IDE and want to convert that to Junit. When I try to change through format, I have two options called ‘JUnit WebDriver’ and ‘JUnit WebDriver Backed’. Can you guys please explain me what is the different between this WebDriver and WebDriver Backed? Sorry I am new to Selenium, started learning through Internet Materials.
Thanks,
Abdul Hameed
You use "JUnit WebDriver" if you are using the Selenium 2/WebDriver API. You use "JUnit WebDriver Backed" if you are using the Selenium 1/RC API.
If you switch back and forth you can see the difference in the test method displayed in the IDE window.
More info on the Selenium website here.
The WebDriver Backed JUnit is a hybrid option to allow you continue using the Selenium 1.0 RC while migrating your existing tests to Selenium 2.0 WebDriver
