Using Selenium without Java RunTime

[abid mahmood]

Is there a way I can use selenium without having to install java runtime on my remote machine?(the machine where the browser is)

The machine that automates the process( where the tests run will have java) but the remote machine where the browser is does not have java. is it possible? and if yes how ?

Nope. its not possible. You would need to have java to be able to spawn the selenium standalone jar on a remote machine.

Thanks & Regards

Not entirely true. It's true that the Selenium project only provides a Java remote server implementation. However, there is nothing preventing someone from creating a remote server implementation in any given language. There is at least one (little-used, seldom updated, mostly just a proof-of-concept) external implementation using the .NET runtime, no Java required (https://github.com/jimevans/strontium).

Thank you for the insight, I was wondering if this PhantomJS based ghost driver is something that can help me in this situation or am I understanding it all wrong ?
