Running PhantomJS within Selenium Grid (ie, remotely)

[Robert]

I was just wondering if anyone within this group has had success in setting up PhantomJS to run within a Selenium grid.  I've been able to successfully setup PhantomJS to run locally, but I'm struggling on getting it to run remotely.  If anyone has experience with this they'd like to share or could point me to some documentation related to this, I sure would appreciate it.

register phantomjs to hub

"/path/phantomjs.exe --webdriver=5567--webdriver-selenium-grid-hub=http://127.0.0.1:4444"  - donot use host name , or "localhost" , use only IP

use same verison of jars for hub and node machines ( EX: 2.37)

then use

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver("http://IP of the node machine:5567/wd/hub",DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs());

thanks

Thanks, I'll give this a try.

Dear Susanth,

In your example, I assume that you are running both node & hub on the same host. Is it feasible to run them on different hosts?

Thanks,

praneel

To the best of my knowledge that is the real use case for the grid setup. So yes PhantomJS should be able to run in that mode [ it and hub run on different machines ] as long as there is network connectivity and no port blockages.

Dear Krishnan, thanks for your response.

I am able to get the communication going well b/w the hub & node using Firefox. But the same does not work when I use PhantomJS. Even my assumptions are the same. What works with browsers should seamlessly work with headless ones too.

The node config shows as below in the grid - 

port:9301

timeout=60:

registerCycle:5000

newSessionWaitTimeout:-1

hub:http://54.184.118.46:4444/

prioritizer:null

remoteHost:http://127.0.0.1:9301

browserTimeout=60:

throwOnCapabilityNotPresent:true

proxy:org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy

dms256m:

maxSession:1

role:wd

servlets:[]

host:null

cleanUpCycle:5000

browserTimeout:0

hubHost:54.184.118.46

capabilityMatcher:org.openqa.grid.internal.utils.DefaultCapabilityMatcher

newSessionWaitTimeout=60000:

url:http://127.0.0.1:9301

register:true

Xmx2048m:

nodePolling:5000

hubPort:4444

timeout:300000

As seen in the config, remote host is being defaulted to localhost. But my remote host IP is 54.185.213.221.

There should certainly be a mechanism wherein i can override the remote host IP.

Thanks,

Praneel

Initially the connection does get established but drops shortly.

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9301            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8593/phantomjs

tcp        0      0 10.234.77.249:49477     54.184.118.46:4444      ESTABLISHED 8593/phantomjs  

After a few seconds, I only see this - 

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9301            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8593/phantomjs 

Thanks,

Can you please share the command you are using to register your PhantomJS node to a remote hub ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan, Thanks for your response & sorry for my delayed reply. I basically got it to work by passing in the complete IP of my local node.

i.e. Earlier I would run - 

sudo /tmp/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs --webdriver-selenium-grid-hub=<Remote_IP>:4444 -webdriver=9301

Running by providing my complete IP address instead of just the port solved the issue  - 

sudo /tmp/phantomjs-1.9.7-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs --webdriver-selenium-grid-hub=<Remote_IP>:4444 -webdriver=<local_IP>:9301

Thanks,
