Selenium Plugin

Selenium server is bundled in plugins/selenium/WEB-INF/classes/hudson/plugins/selenium/selenium-grid.tgz.

This makes hard to change server implementation since you need to replace its JAR in this TGZ which is embedded in plugin dist: you must repeat this operation each time you updgrade Selenium plugin.

Any chance you make this easier by externalizing Selenium JARs in another directory ?

Anyway: great plugin

NB : I need Tellurium implementation of Selenium server

Hi,

I am having an issue with the delimiter that is used for selecting the RC. The browser string I specify is:

ff3.5:*custom c:/bin/firefox35/firefox.exe -profile c:/bin/firefox35/profiles/selenium

This is because I have Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 installed on the same machine but the plugin is tokenizing based on the colon. So it fails to launch as it does not strip out the label because there is more than one colon. Current work around is to use:

ff3.5:*custom /bin/firefox35/firefox.exe

which works (because it is all on C Drive) but does not give me a custom profile (if I remove the c: for the profile firefox does not start). Can this be changed to allow for windows (and unix) paths in the string. Perhaps the delimiter could be something different?

public class HudsonEnvironmentManager extends EnvironmentManager {
    /**
     * We accept "label:browser"
     */
    @Override
    public Environment environment(String name) {
        String[] tokens = name.split(":");
        if(tokens.length==2)
            return new Environment(tokens[0],tokens[1]);
        // take a chance and let it run on any RC.
        // this is useful for maintaining compatibility with standalone RCs
        return new Environment("&",name);
    }

For those who need to change the grid configuration:

It seems that the plugin uses the grid_configuration.yml from within the /var/hudson/selenium-grid/lib/selenium-grid-hub-standalone-1.0.4.jar and not the one located in /var/hudson/selenium-grid. Maybe you have to change the selenium sources to make it look in the correct folder / location.

see gridConfiguration() in https://svn.openqa.org/svn/selenium-grid/trunk/hub/src/main/java/com/thoughtworks/selenium/grid/hub/HubRegistry.java
and https://svn.openqa.org/svn/selenium-grid/trunk/infrastructure/core/src/main/com/thoughtworks/selenium/grid/configuration/ResourceLocator.java

Modifying the grid_configuration.yml and putting it into the .jar works for me.

Hi,
I've successfully deployed selenium grid on a Hudson 1.329 - everything is fine.
However I intended to do the same work on a 1.309, and I can't get it to work : installation of the plugin show no errors :

Indeed, Hudson is right : the selenium-grid directory doesn't exist in ~/.hudson
Any idea ?
Thank you,

Hi,

First, totally dig the idea of this plugin, it seems like it will work well once I get it all happily configured; however, I am having issues trying to get nodes configured, both windows and linux (ubuntu).  For some detail I'm running Hudson 1.343 and the 1.3 version of the plugin (which I believe are the most recent).  The server/master is running ubuntu 8.04.2 and is proxied through Apache (i.e. so i can do http://hudson.domain instead of http://hudson.domain:8080).  I've split my questions into two, one about Linux and one about Windows as they're a little long and I figured that'd be easier to track.

I'll start with linux since it goes farther into the process.  I tried the JNLP route (since that was what I tried with the Windows node, which I had done first) but that didn't work at all, so I moved to ssh which seemed cooler for linux anyways (so that it would configure from the master vs. the slave).  At first when adding the nodes in Hudson they would get all setup as hudson nodes but hit an exception when trying to do the selenium stuff.  Unfortunately I forgot to capture the stack trace.  However, this was with Hudson 1.342 and when I upgraded to 1.343 it started successfully setting up the selenium part too; not sure if this was 1.343 or the Hudson restart or what.  At any rate the slave is there, its listed in http://hudson.domain:4444/console and if i run against that URL with a test it will try to go; however, it can't run any tests.  When I try to run one it fails opening the browser (Firefox 3.0) with this error:

11:16:00.932 INFO - Allocated session 356444fa6b784141af114a114cb87cfc for http://hudson.domain/, launching...

I've also tried directly going to the port exposed by the slave and I get the same result.  As another experiment I downloaded the 1.04 selenium grid distribution (should be the same one that is used by the 1.3version of the plugin) and started that with rake rc:start and the appropriate options and when I use that it does correctly open a browser.  The startup commands for each are different, altough I can't figure out what is making the difference; here is what the java startup command looks like for each

Selenium RC via Hudson plugin (non-working)

Selenium RC via Rake (working)

java -cp "/home/fakeuser/selenium-grid-1.0.4:/home/fakeuser/selenium-grid-1.0.4/vendor/selenium-server-1.0.1.jar:

  >"/home/fakeuser/selenium-grid-1.0.4/log/rc-5555.log" 2>&1

The only perhaps meaningful difference I can see is Hudson using selenium-grid-remote-control-1.0.4.jar whereas the rake command uses selenium-grid-remote-control-standalone-1.0.4.jar.  I'm still pretty confused about what all the various JAR files are that are included with Selenium Grid, so I don't know which one is more right or what difference they'd have.Sorry about the lenght, wanted to make sure I was thorough.  If anyone has ideas or suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,

My windows issue has significantly less information.  I'm trying to get a windows 7 client running.  I've turned off Firewall to make sure that isn't blocking anything and I verified that the hudson master can ping the slave.  Again in this scenario Hudson adds the node just fine, deploys out maven.jar and whatever else it does, but then I get that dreaded

Unable to determine the host name. Skipping Selenium execution.

I've seen that on other threads but they all seemed to be having issues with the pinging/accessiblity, but I don't believe that is my issue here, or at least not in the same way.  Unfortunately, I'm unclear what other debugging I can do; is there any additional insight on how Hudson's plugin is trying to get the host name and how to pass that through to Selenium correctly?

My other problem on Windows is that I'm using the JNLP method so I'm starting up from the client; that registers fine (aside from the issue above) but when I try to install as a window service from the menu item it gives me a permissions error.  Anything special I need to be doing here?  Also, I'm presuming installing as a service and running on startup will make this slave auto-connect to the hub when it boots is that correct?  Is there a more preferred way to get Windows clients on board?  I've seen varying information on what method to so, I'd like to use the most support method that will allow me to run browser tests (i.e. need a GUI) on the Windows RC; obviously being able to manage from Hudson (ala the SSH of the Linux clients) is preferred, but not at the expense of an extremely complicated setup.

Thanks,

\Peter

I'm trying to use the plugin on Hudson 1.355 to no avail - it doesn't seem to copy Selenium RC binaries to slaves and connect Selenium RC instances to the grid. Selenium Grid starts up fine on master though. Do I have the right idea about RC deployment, ie. should it indeed happen on slave startup?

Sample slave startup log (Windows slave):

Connecting to 192.168.15.174
Copying slave.jar
Starting the service
Waiting for the service to become ready
Connecting to port 1,533
<===[HUDSON REMOTING CAPACITY]===>���Slave.jar version: 1.355
This is a Windows slave
Copied maven-agent.jar
Copied maven-interceptor.jar
Copied maven2.1-interceptor.jar
Slave successfully connected and online

Any plans to update this to Sel Grid 1.0.7 (the latest at this time)? It adds some very nice features for the hub detecting dead clients and for clients to reattach to the hub.

Is upgrading as simple as renaming / dropping the new Sel Grid jars (client + server) into plugins/selenium/WEB-INF/lib or is there more magic involved in how those are built?

@Peter: We had miserable luck getting regular selenium running on Win7 (our dev machines). After lots of futzing with UAC and admin privs, I finally found SauceRC, a freely available SeleniumRC client that installs and works great with Win7. No grid features that I'm aware of though.

Thanks!

I am using selenium grid 1.0.3. My master runs on linux and my slaves are all windows VM connected thru ssh using cygwin.

I made little change in the code to run hub on one of the windows slave rather than on the master. for that i made changes in the following files

1. PluginImpl.java- commented the code which will start hub on the master. added one more field to read hub host name from user.

2. CompluterListernerImpl.java- made following change to start hub on slave matching the user input and start RC on slave having Label as RC.

The problem now is that Grid is copied too slave and starts Hub fine as per the log where as RC's are failing to register with the hub saying connection refused exception. I also not able to view grid console: http://<hotname>:4444/console returns nothing...

Not sure what did the trick.  I just restarted my machine and I see my RCs error gone.  I see registered remote controls. But under selenium grid hub http:localhost:4444/console, I don't see anything listed under "Configured environments" and "Available Remote Controls".

Hi.  I have a question about migrating javascript that extends Selenium.  We've been using a single RC, which gets started in the same environment that is running the tests (using Java & TestNG).  When we start the Selenium Server, we pass it a javascript file that allows us to add a few extra locators, as Selenium allows you to do.  This is what we add to our Maven plugin that starts the Selenium Server (the <userExtensions> element is the bit that defines the custom javascript)     <execution>
    <!-- Start the selenium server. -->
    <id>start</id>
    <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
    <goals>
        <goal>start-server</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
        <avoidProxy>true</avoidProxy>
        <skip>$skip.start.selenium.server</skip>
        <userExtensions>$project.build.directory/selenium/user-extensions.js</userExtensions>
        <singleWindow>$selenium.single.window</singleWindow>
        <ensureCleanSession>true</ensureCleanSession>
        <background>true</background>
        <port>$selenium.port</port>
        <timeout>300</timeout> <!-- 5 minutes -->
        <logOutput>true</logOutput>
        <debug>$debug.selenium.server</debug>
    </configuration>
    </execution>

If we were running the RCs manually, we'd pass this in.  I've just set up Hudson with the plugin (which is absolutely brilliant) and the hub is finding the slave node / RC just fine.  But when it goes to use a locator that depends on the Javascript contains within this extensions.js file, it fails because it can't find it.  Obviously, because it wasn't copied to it.

Is there a way to configure Hudson to copy a javascript file to the slave node, when it's also copying over the selenium-server.jar, as well as including it when it starts the RC?  If not, is there a way of adding this manually to each site, so that the server is launched with the extensions.js accesible by the RC?

Thanks for any info.  This is a big improvement over assembling this on its own.  I particular love how it starts the RC by default.  If I can't do this, however, I'm looking at trying to refactor my tests so they don't need this custom locator.  Which is a big job.

Is possible and, if yes, is it documented somewhere how to pass additional arguments (e.g. seleniumArgs) to the Selenium Remote Controls started on the slaves analogically to:

ant -DseleniumArgs="-userExtensions /path/to/user-extensions.js -firefoxProfileTemplate /path/to/my_profile -singleWindow" launch-remote-control

Hi I am new to hudson, so please can anyone tell me how to setup the master to run the selenium tests.

Can I run the selenium tests by using the master without setting up the slave.

Please let me know the steps to integrate the selenium with hudson
