How to start and stop Selenium Grid programatically within Serenity framework

[80Vikram]

Hi All,

I would like to start and stop Selenium Grid programmatically within Serenity framework

Also register available nodes to the the newly created hub.

Please let me know if this is possible ?

Thanks,
Vikram

Hi John,

Can you please clarify on this query ? Any demo project to refer to ?

I need to start Grid server and later register emulators as nodes ( again from programe itself ) to run appium test cases.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vikram

This is not really the sort of thing that is in the sphere of influence of Serenity. Serenity would be a consumer/user of a Selenium Grid server, but it wouldn't start up and administrate the grid itself.

Hi John,

Thanks for info.

Is there a way I can set value for webdriver.remote.url in the script and consume other places, than passing this value from command prompt ?

Vikram

Hi John,

I'm updating Serenity + Appium project to do more advance things.

Till date I could achieve starting Selenium Hub, appium nodes ( android emulators ) register through java programme.

Now I'm struck how to run test case in parallel on available emulators ?

mvn clean verify -Dwebdriver.remote.url=http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub -Dwebdriver.remote.driver=appium

It's not able to run test on any of the available emulators

It's picking up properties from serenity.properties file ( which I use to run on single mobile )

Please clarify

Thanks,
Vikram

Hi John,

I've revisited section http://www.thucydides.info/docs/serenity/#_running_tests_against_a_selenium_grid_server

In case of appium, I need to mention

appium.hub ( how to give multiple values, in case of multiple emulators and/or devices , as each will have its unique IP address )

appium.deviceName ( same query applies here as well )

Please clarify

Thanks,
Vikram

Hi John,

Some more issues, I've removed all the flags related to appium from serenity.properties file

Later ran below command

mvn clean verify -Drun.parallel=true -Dwebdriver.remote.url=http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub -Dwebdriver.remote.driver=appium -Dappium.platformName=Android -Dappium.browserName=Chrome

below error is thrown

Not sure why serenity is trying to create FF browser, also I need to run native automation and not on browser, is there a way to skip flag appium.browserName ?

Thanks,
Vikram

In the POC project I had shared earlier, has got below flags in serenity.properties file and it works fine.

webdriver.driver= appium
appium.browserName = ""
appium.platformName = Android
appium.platformVersion = 5.0.1
appium.deviceName  = d6e4f8d6
appium.app =  ADD_FULL_PATH_HERE/Flipkart.3.0.apk
appium.hub = http://localhost:4723/wd/hub

I need to replicate this for grid situation as well.

Kindly help to solve this last piece of puzzle.

Thanks again.

I could make some baby steps progress on this problem

https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-core/issues/637

currently struck with passing available devices' names.

Grid & appium experts kindly help.


Merry X-mas everyone.

Hi John,

Can you please look into this query and help

Thanks & Regards,

I've updated subject as earlier one was not related.

Anybody is able to run test cases in parallel with serenity + appium setup ?

I'm not sure how to pass multiple device or emulators  names/id to grid.
