[selenium-users] Selenium RC :

[Shilpa]

Hello members,

I am a starter to use selenium automation tool. I am trying to run
Selenium-RC (using JAVA).

I downloaded selenium-RC and started the sever as java -jar selenium-
server.jar.

It started successfully.

Within eclipse when I try to run the selenium junit test case its
throwing exception as :

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: ERROR Server Exception:
sessionId should not be null; has this session been started yet?

I updated my local system path as /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4.

Still I am getting the same error. Any body faced this and any work
around?

Thanks in Advance,
Shilpa

Have you added the junit jar in your eclipse project and selenium
server must be up before running the selenium RC testcase .

Thanks,

Hi, I also faced the same problem once.

My situation is 

I have one test case to create a contact in which i am calling a method for login. after logging in successfull, I tried to access the same sel object in createcontact test case, but the login method is returning a null value.

what i suggest is,

check whether u r calling any methods in that testcase?

if u r calling then check whether it is returning the sel object or null?

Thanks & Regards

Hi All,

Not sure if this helps but you can give it a try

here what is did to get rid of this

=>first ensure that the browser is in the PATH before running the server. For example, you want to run the test in Firefox. Then you should do next two steps.

=>Locate firefox-bin (for example it returns /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin)

=>export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin;

Note: There is an alternative way to fix above error (browser is not in path). Simply replace chrome with browser PATH in SeleniumSTSanityTest.java file. For example:
line

setUp("www.google.com", "*chrome");
becomes
setUp("www.google.com", "*firefox /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/firefox-bin"); in SeleniumSTSanityTest.java.
To run the test in opera browser replace chrome with opera

Thanks,
