Node mode and default protocol

[Alexei Barantsev]

Hi, all,

Let's suppose I start a node with the following options:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -role rc -hub ... -browser "browserName=*googlechrome,maxInstances=1"

You can see that there is no protocol specified in -browser option, but the node mode is set to RC.

Should this "-role rc" implty that by default the protocol is Selenium (not WebDriver)?

Regards,

You gave it a "-role rc" switch, so it is supposed to be in rc mode.

The roles only allow one to use a pre-canned config (RC corresponds to a particular yml file i believe). By using the -browser switch you are effectively overriding that config and if wouldn't matter if you specify -role node  or rc or wd (I think it's just wd).

I think it's up to the configurer of the node (person starting up the node) to specify a full and proper configuration. Although I wouldn't be opposed to that change to imply certain undefined parameters based on a specified role.
