Firefox profile in hudson

[poobathy r]

Hi  Folks

     I am running the automation suite through maven in my local machine

     where i created my firefox profile in my location machine and i hardcoded in my code as "FirefoxProfile fox = new FirefoxProfile(new File("C:\\profile"));"

     it is running in my local machine but when i created the hudson job and  while am running there it says that firefox profile doesn't exist 

     as  far as i know the profile is not there in hudson .. i want to know where can i create the  firefox profile for hudson any help would be appreciated.

     thanks in advance...

And why are you specifically looking to working with a Firefox Profile ? Wouldn't your tests NOT work without this ?

To answer to your question, since you did mention "Hudson" am guessing you have your codebase checked into a version control system [Git/SVN etc.,]. So if you absolutely must work with a Firefox Profile, I would suggest that you have it under your project. If you are using Java, you could have your profile under src/test/resources or src/main/resources and then work with that.

Thanks & Regards

Just move your c:\FirefoxProfile directory into src/test/resources and change new FirefoxProfile("c:\Profile"); to new FirefoxProfile("src/test/resources/Profile");

That should do.

      I moved  the profile to src/test/resources and after that also it says unable to find the profile 

     and my directory look like attached screenshot 

Still it is not configured in hudson yar.. am not able to run the test cases. 

please help me out 

[poobathy r]

Or do you want me to add anything in pom.xml 

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Poobathy,

Can you please elaborate a bit more on the error ? Stacktrace would do good. Also let me know as to where you are seeing this error. Is it in your local execution or is it in your hudson execution.

If this is on your hudson execution, then I suspect that you may not have checked in your firefox profile into svn.

Thanks & Regards

Poobathy,

The issue is with your CODE.

Take a closer look at the stack trace 

org.openqa.selenium.firefox.UnableToCreateProfileException: Given model profile directory does not exist: src/test/resources/Profile

Build info: version: '2.25.0', revision: '17482', time: '2012-07-18 22:18:01'

System info: os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'i386', os.version: '2.6.9-89.0.15.ELlargesmp', java.version: '1.6.0_25'

Driver info: driver.version: unknown

You are running on a LINUX box, which means, folder names are CASE SENSITIVE.

Your code is instructing WebDriver to find the firefox profile from "src/test/resources/Profile" whereas from the screenshot you shared of your svn repo, your folder name is actually "src/test/resources/profile".

Change :

src/test/resources/Profile 

To:

src/test/resources/profile [profile is in all small case ]

That should fix the problem.

so i have to check in linux machine  for the firefox path ?

but am running on hudson ... anything should i do for this

--Poobathy

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Is your hudson box a LINUX box or is it a headless environment ?

DO you know if firefox is installed on that box ? If not, then you would have to install it.

Your are right krishanan i request my release manager for the same
and one more thing in which path should  I install the firefox in that Linux box
the normal path where we installed the firefox or some other path we need to give..

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

If Firefox is installed with the default options, am guessing that Selenium/WebDriver should be able to find it on its own without much of a hurdle. But I am guessing that in this case, firefox is NOT even installed.
