Selenium with VPN connection?

[Swami]

Hi,

Regardig the Selenium RC I have few questions. One of them is regarding the VPN connection and SRC.

*Questions #1:*
I have a test case written for my application which needs a VPN connection when accessed out of office network.
I executed the test case in Selenium RC by the below command.
\\ java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545 -htmlsuite "*iehta" http://www.ebay.com "C:\Selenium\Tests\login_suite.html" C:\Selenium\result.html (or)
\\ java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545 -htmlsuite "*chrome" http://www.ebay.com "C:\Selenium\Tests\login_suite.html" C:\Selenium\result.html


While for firefox it opens the application in the testrunner window instead of the window at the lower part and in case of IE it reports a "Permission Denied" error. This test case executes successfully in IDE with and without VPN connection. However i'm yet to check the RC execution without vpn connection. I'll do it sometime tomorrow.
Is there any known bug in RC for the execution with VPN connection.


Here is my other question,
*Questions #2:*
As i was stuck with above problem i recorded a simple testcase with google.com,

open|wwww.google.com\\ type|q|my first test case in selenium\\ clickandWait|btnG\\ VerifyTitle|my first test case in selenium

Executed with IDE gives a pass result.
While executing it in RC using the command,
\\ java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545 -htmlsuite "*chrome" http://www.ebay.com "C:\Selenium\Tests\ord_ts.html" "C:\Selenium\result_ord.html"

The test always report a FAIL, it opens some link named as
*http://pages.ebay.com/selenium-server/tests/www.google.com* and tries to execute the test case.

Just to debug about the issue i changed the command as:
java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545 -htmlsuite "*chrome" http://www.google.com "C:\Selenium\Tests\ord_ts.html" "C:\Selenium\result_ord.html"

The above command gives a PASS to the execution.

Could somebody explain the reasons for the above.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Swami

Hi,
For the second question, I would say:
On the command prompt the you wrote the URL as "www.ebay.com" where as in the test you wrote the command open "www.google.com"
When the browser launches, it opens the ebay site & tries to open the www.google.com link, but obviously it will not get it.
Its contradiction between the URL given on command prompt & the URLmentioned in the test.
That's why the test fails.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
I used "ebay.com" just a filler for the -html suite options.
Since I open google.com in the test case i did not use it here.

So does this mean that we should always use the weblink on which we are going to work?
Does this apply for both http and https links too?

Thanks,
Swami

Mary Ann,

Today after getting fed up i totally deleted all the selenium files and freshly loaded them.
After that i tried to execute the part in Question#2.
It is working fine.

Thanks for all the clarification.
I'm currently using the RC beta1.0-beta 2.

I do have one more question, I'm not sure whether i could post it here or in the previous post itself.
Let me do it here. After the removal and including the new files as stated earlier,

I tried to execute the test case i recorded for my application.
Now the IE does not report any permission Denied message but instead both IE and firefox opens the application in the test runner window itself.
In the sense the test runner page gets moved to my application.
When i tried to pause the script execution before it starts to execute, then i clicked on the step button. Somewhere in between the IE to open my application got closed. it reported a failure like below.
