com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: Connection refused: connect

[pyrojonc]

I am new to Selenium 2. I have a working install of both Webdriver
(using Eclipse w/ TestNG) and Selenium IDE. I am now trying to export
an IDE test as a testNG, import that test into my eclipse project and
run. I am failing on the following error:

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: Connection refused:
connect

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Which port are u using? and also check whether your selenium server is running or not.

Hi NeelakandanRVJ,

These might seem like noobie issues, but I am not sure what port I'm
running on. I have selenium installed on a Linux server, but am using
eclipse/testNG/Windows 7 to execute the scripts. I can run a
successful script using org.openqa.selenium.* packages, but not the
com.thoughtworks.selenium.* ones.

I was not sure if selenium server was running, but I have gone to the
linux server and ran this command:
- java -jar selenium-server.jar

I did not get any errors, but I am also not 100% sure that it is
running either.

I'll keep poking around at it, I've taught myself this much so far,
but any help is greatly appreciated.

Jon

Ok, I think that I have figured it out. I had installed Selenium 2 /
WebDriver but was exporting my tests from Selenium IDE as TestNG
(Remote Control). When I Exported the test as JUnit 4 (WebDriver),
and then converted the syntax to TestNG, everything works fine, and I
don't need to set up or run a server independently.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I have been using the add-on to enable WebDriverBacked, for which
there is a TestNG filter, but if you want to do pure WebDriver then
your solution is probably the best. It would help if there was a
TestNG for pure WebDriver, so you might want to log an enhancement
request, but right now the IDE is really not being worked on I
believe.
