Error while running the WebDriver tests as HtmlUnitDriver

[fmtjatt]

I am trying to run WebDriver test in htmlunitdriver but they are failing:

I'm using Java/TestNg and Selenium 2.32.

Code:
HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.setJavascriptEnabled(true);

exception:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: javascript Build info: version: &apos;2.19.0&apos;, revision: &apos;15849&apos;, time: &apos;2012-02-08 16:10:57&apos; System info: os.name: &apos;Windows 7&apos;, os.arch: &apos;amd64&apos;, os.version: &apos;6.1&apos;, java.version: &apos;1.7.0_17&apos; Driver info: driver.version: HtmlUnitDriver at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver.get(HtmlUnitDriver.java:331) at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver$HtmlUnitNavigation.to(HtmlUnitDriver.java:1048) at test.java.core.WebDriverSetup.setup(WebDriverSetup.java:81) Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: javascript at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:592) at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:482) at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:431) at org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver.get(HtmlUnitDriver.java:329) ... 28 more ... Removed 26 stack frames

Everything runs OK in the IE and Firefox driver. Do I need to download the htmlunit driver like the IEDriver? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Got that resolved as it did not like fetching the url from the testng configuration file. Now it seems to be running but it is not printing anything on the console. Is this how it suppose to work?

I tried running just a single singin/signout test and even that does not do anything. Eclipse shows like something is running there is not output and no ending. Anyone has any experience with HtmlUnitDriver?

I have tried it twice at different jobs, and each time failed to get
login working. It seems brittle on javascript.

I believe HtmlUnit is not known to work well with javascripts in particular. So unless the application under test is a fairly simple site I believe HtmlUnitDriver is not the best option.

Try phantomjs

Krishnan,

Are there any other tools available for WebDriver so we can do headless testing?

Thanks,
