Help with Hudson Seleniumhq plugin

[scott hardegree]

Hello All,

I am struggling with trying to run a simple test case via the selenium plugin headlessly with Xvfb.  The web application is hosted on a RedHat 5 server in a QA type environment.  Firefox is the current ESR version.  I have verified that Xvfb is started, and every time I try to kick off a test I am presented with the below:

(The way I am starting the selenium standalone server on the application server is: sudo java -jar /path/to/jar/file/on/app/server/selenium-server.jar -debug -htmlSuite "*firefox" http://mysiteonport:8080 "/path/to/test/on/app/server/RESTATQA_LOGIN.html" "%WORKSPACE%/results.html")  I am unable to start the selenium server without sudo (is this a clue?)

Finished: FAILURE

The configurations that I have tried

1. creating a different firefox profile and adding that to my shell command

2. adding the xvfb plugin to jenkins

3. executing both commands via the server and jenkins job

4. verifying that firefox is installed on the server and is the current ESR version AND verified that it is compatibility with selenium by checking the following link http://docs.seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.jsp

5. adding a global variable in jenkins name=DISPLAY value=:99

6. verifying permissions are correctly set on the .jar file, the test *.html file, and the results.html to the best of my knowledge.

7. verifying that I am able to open my site on the server

Has anyone experienced a similar problem and have a fix for it?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Scott,

to run command without sudo. 

1) login to server with root user 

2) run command visudo

3) search for this "root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL"

3) add following line below <your username> ALL=(ALL)       ALL

I have add "export DISPLAY=:99" (please exclude double quotes) in /etc/init.d/jenkins script and restart jenkins. xvfb prcess should be started with user with which you are logged in. Eg. if you are logged in with jenkins users and xvfb process should be started with same user.

I am using Firefox 32 version and selenium-server-2.44.0.jar and its working fine for me.

I didnt face exactly same issue but i faced Firefox and selenium server versions compatibility issue. I would suggest to check if your selenium jar support FF version or not.

Thanks,

Ankush

THANKS ANKUSH!  I'll give this a try and post the results!

I've gotten a little further thanks to you.  It was user related after all.  I was able to launch Xvfb and firefox via a Jenkins job.  However, I came up against the following over and over again:

Build step 'Publish Selenium Report' changed build result to FAILURE

Some things I've done:

1. I was forced to set the selenium value -timeout 60 due to the job getting stuck a SocketTimeOutException which does not show up in the debug logs if I set this value.

2. I have done some Internet searches and have a couple of things I will try, such as re-saving the test case.

However, you got me further than I would have on my own, THANKS AGAIN.
