Selenium Grid and Protractor for running tests in Parallel on Chrome Only

[Jay Perry]

Hi,

Wanted to see if anyone was able to get selenium grid working with protractor so that you can run tests in parallel that are shared across the running selenium nodes?

I found this writeup on how to setup selenium grid using docker containers and it's pretty easy and I have grid up and running.  I was able to run protractor and point to it but the tests only seem to run on one of the node containers.  I tried using the multiCapabilities and that didn't seem to solve it.  Anyone else doing this?

As for context, we have integration tests that use protractor-http-mock and we would like to spread these out over multiple browser sessions to have it run faster.  Using the multiCapabilities is slight flaky and doesn't consistently run all the tests.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Jay,

I am currently having the same problem, how did you solve yours?
Test execution is happening only in one node-chrome container. Also, I am unable to connect over VNC to see what is happening inside node-chrome-debug container and do you know anything about why is this happening?

This is my multiCapabilities setup:

  multiCapabilities: [

   {

       //shardTestFiles: true,

       maxInstances: 5,

       sequential: true,

       browserName: 'chrome',

       specs: ['tests/initial/*.spec.js']

   },

 ],

Thank you,

Almeid
