Selenium Integration in Builds

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi All,

I have this scenario in place:

  1. I have checked in Selenium Java files (Test cases) into my usual build and they are getting compiled in .class files.

  2. I also have a build.xml which is used to run these tests. It basically has this:

RELEASE_ROOT this has been set to the Java Project folder.

o SRC which defines the source folder of the project

o LIB which defines the lib folder of the project

o BIN which defines the binary folder where the classes needs to be pasted after compiling

o REPORT folder which defines the report folder where the test execution reports will be generated.

  1. Now I want to integrate the tests as standard process of the builds.

All i have is a build.xml, java tests. How to achieve it? Thanks in advance

Not sure what you are asking for.
It seems that you will have a complete solution on a big problem, you will not get that here.
Like I need help to create a rocket that take me to Mars and back, who to bild it, where to start etc.

What have you tried?

My code is on the server. I am not sure how to run the build.xml from UNIX box. I guess build.xml will invoke the browser and tests and hence a new report will be there.

I have attached my build.xml also.

Thanks

What build framework is being used ? Apache Ant ?

Hi,

You can use Jenkins-ci to achieve this.

Hi

Yeah I am already using JENKINS for my regular builds. But as I understood after reading from net, jenkins Hudson plugin has automation only for HTML Recordings of Selenium. I have JAVA programs that run the test on a browser. If you have further info, can you please kindly share?

Thanks in Advance

Hi

The link was very helpful and it was able to do most of the tasks.

If you see the build.xml :

  <target name="run">
                  <java jar="${RELEASE_ROOT}/lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.26.0.jar" fork="true">
  </target>

I was trying to run the selenium jar before compiling or running the tests. However on Running the build.xml via ant .....it gets stuck and doesnt move to compile. :

Output of Bash:

bash-3.2$ ant -f /files0/nlae_dev_atg/environment_build/scripts/envbuild/build-selenium.xml run-batch-test

How to run a jar file from build.xml so that the corresponding server is started and then it performs next steps?

Can you close the tag and try ?

<target name="run">
                  <java jar="${RELEASE_ROOT}/lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.26.0.jar" fork="true">
</java>
  </target>

Hi

Its still stuck after trying what you suggested. I guess I need to start it separately as a process. Any suggestions on this?

No, start server/run tests/stop server should work within the same ant script.

refer this link and see if you are missing anything while defining targets
