GoCD Integration With Selenium

[Darly Senecal-Baptiste]

Hi,

Do you have any information about integration GoCD with Testing tool called Selenium? Because I am trying to find a GoCD plugin that integrates with Selenium.

Thanks

[Dan Ports]

I would also really like to know if anyone has gotten Go to work well with Selenium. I did some work with CruiseControl.NET and Selenium in the past and had no end of headaches...flaky/unrepeatable builds, etc.

Hey Dan,

 Go does not have a Selenium plugin. 

 At Thoughtworks we have a lot of projects running Selenium on Go via build scripts. 

 If you can provide more details on how you run selenium on your project we can help out.

[Dan Ports]

Thanks Zabil. Off the top of my head, there were at least 2 roadblocks that we ran into:

1. Running Selenium from a Windows service: CruiseControl.NET and the Go agent both run as Windows services by default, and browsers (IE at least) weren't happy running in session 0. I think we worked around this with CruiseControl.NET by setting up the server to automatically sign into a specified account when Windows booted and then run the console version of CC.NET on startup in that session. But it was a bit of a pain to set up and felt like a big hack.
2. IE driver flakiness: Often the IE driver process failed to exit, which would cause future test runs to break. I think we tried several approaches to work around this, but nothing worked reliably from what I can remember.

Could you share an outline of how you run Selenium on your end? e.g.: Which platforms/browsers are you running it on? How do you launch the driver and make calls to it?

Dan

Hey Dan,

 We have our windows agent services configured run with the "Allow service to interact with Desktop" option. 

  You can also start the agent using the "start-agent.bat" and leave the console window running. 

This is more of Selenium talk but here's what our setup looks like on our java projects.

maven or gradle for builds

Junit + Selenium Webdriver (not RC)

Headless Chrome Driver and Firefox Driver on linux 

the Internet Explorer Driver on windows.

On one of the .net projects

nant + rake + nunit

Selenium Webdriver.

Unfortunately it takes a while to get rid of flakiness. Here's a summary of the team's experience (a bit dated).

Thanks for the info, Zabil! I will revisit our setup at some point and see if we can eliminate the flakiness.

Does GoCD has any plug in for automation frameworks like TestNG and Nightwatch.JS

Thanks,

These "plugins" merely accept the parameters and invoke the command line. You could either just trigger a shell script (checked out from version control, and the recommended approach), or write your own "custom command". 

 

See https://build.go.cd/go/pipelines/smoke/865/Smoke/1 for an example (user: view, password: password), where it runs the tests from this repo: https://github.com/gocd/functional-tests (it checks out from a local mirror for performance reasons).

Thanks, 

Devendra
