Running Webdriver scripts from command line

[Aparna]

Hello All,

Does anyone know how to run Webdriver scripts from command line? I
have written my tests in Eclipse. Now I have to make the run everyday
basis automatically,

Please guide me.

Thanks,
Aparna

hey...

what language are you using? I'm assuming you're using the Eclipse IDE, but what programming language?

I think I posted on this before, but I should probably add it to my blog so I can just point to
it. Before you get an answer though what version of Selenium, what language, and what testing
framework are you using?

There is a way to start TestNG from your Java code, or you can use Ant or some other method to
start it, as I know a lot of people here do. Personally, I have my program code manage it all,
so it works the same in the IDE and at the command line. Google for starting TestNG
programmatically and you will find it.

So all I do is (from the correct directory):
java -jar program.jar <command options>

For running them every day it would help to know what OS you are using. On Windows I use Task
Manager, but on Linux or some other *nix platform you would use cron. In either case the job
would run a script/batch file to run your test program, changing to the right directory, using
any command line options, etc.

I hope that helps you.

Mike

The other alternative for kicking off tests automatically on a schedule would be to setup a hudson/jenkins server , create jobs on it which can be configured to kick off

Hi Krishnan,

Can you please provide information on how to create a job which would
run in a bamboo environment? The tests are written in Java using the
selenium-standaloneserver jar file as a dependency on a windows
platform using eclipse.

Thanks
Manoj

This doesnt have anything to do with Selenium.

Have you tried googling on this ? There are a lot of tutorials that teach you how to do this for both JUnit and TestNG.

Thanks,

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Ramesh,

You would need to tell us what is your client bindings flavor [.NET, Java, python ]


But i would suggest that you search for running java/.NET/python code from command line. That should help get answers for your question.

Ramesh,

The html option was built for Selenium IDE tests and NOT for WebDriver tests.

For WebDriver tests I would suggest that you please convert them into either JUnit tests or TestNG tests. 

Once you have done that, you can make use of either Ant or Maven to kick them off from commandline.

Thanks & Regards

ok, i am using testng test only, i install the ant also, can you tell me the steps, below are the details

package : jobserve

Classes : login, homepage, searchingjob.

I want to run all the classes from the command prompt can you send the steps.

[Ripon Al Wasim]

Write testng.xml enlisting all classes on <classes> tag. Then write build.xml and include testng.xml file on build.xml file.
