Browser not launching in TestNG scirpt.

[Black Swan]

Hi All,

I am playing around with TetsNG, and have written the following simple script, the script seems to be fine but its not launching the browser. I have added firefox.exe to the classpath and have also tried with absolute path of the browser as well but of no use. Can anyone please point out what's wrong.

And as Mark mentioned in an another mail chain that SeleneseTestCase is deprecated, so I am using SeleneseTestBase.

CODE:
package tests;

import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestBase;

public class SampleTest extends SeleneseTestBase {
 
    @Test
    public void f() throws Exception{

        SeleniumServer server = new SeleniumServer();
        server.boot();
        server.start();
        setUp("www.quikr.com","*firefox");
        selenium.open("/");
        selenium.setSpeed("2000");
        selenium.type("id=query", "abc");
        selenium.select("id=categoryId", "Pune");
  }
}

First, your stack shows that TestNG *is* launching your test code. It
is in your test code that you are getting the error of trying to start
the browser. Specifically it is on line 16 in your code, which
appears to be you call to setUp.

A couple of questions come to mind:

1) Why are you starting a server in your code? This will greatly slow
down your test, as you need to wait for the server to start up, and
you do not need a server to run a simple test. Just using the client
library will start the browser for you. You only need a server to
handle multiple tests running at the same time from different
programs.

2) Was this test code produced by one of the IDE output filters? If
so which one, so I know to avoid it in the future? ;)

If you really wish to use a server then have it started and running
already prior to running your test code. If you need a server on more
than one system look into using Grid2 to manage jobs for those
servers.

You have to user SELENIUM GRID, because you don't have the server connected:

Download "selenium-grid-1.0.8"

http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/download.html

Unzip the file & open console (CMD), go to the directory of "selenium-grid-1.0.8" and enter:

ant launch-hub

After open other console and write:

ant launch-remote-control

More info:

http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/run_the_demo.html

Also you must send parameters with a file xml of testng

you can to use Grid 2

[Jayakumar C]

Pass the url with prefix 'http://'. So the url would be "http://www.quikr.com".

Also no need of calling both boot() and start(). Call boot() alone to start the Se-RC server(with configurations if any).

Hi Black Swan,

Try the following code to start your selenium server. For this first
you need to create a selenium server as a batch file.

To create selenium server as a batch file.
1. Open notepad
2. Type the following in the opened notepad

D:
cd Selenium\
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar (Here D is my local
drive where my selenium-server-standalone-2.14.0.jar file sits.).

3. Save the notepad file as .bat file on desktop (preferred).
4. Before running your scripts you need to start this batch file.

package firstPackage;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestBase;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

public class FirstClass extends SeleneseTestBase {

protected Selenium selenium ;

@BeforeClass
public void StartServer()
{

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*firefox","http://
www.quikr.com");
selenium.start();

try{
selenium.open("http://www.quikr.com");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("400000");
}catch(Exception e){}

}

@AfterClass(alwaysRun=true)
public void StopServer()
{
selenium.close();
selenium.stop();

}
}
