如何从Jenkins运行Selenium Script（Junit）

Question

I'm encountering some issues by executing Selenium Scripts from Jenkins, I'm totally beginner so I need many explanations if somenone can provide some...

• So i'm running Jenkins on my VM Linux.
• I've got those selenium script in a folder of this VM.

What should I do to manage to make in run through Jenkins ?

I don't understand a lot so if you could give me as much as details as possible...

• If I have to use maven, what are the configurations in Jenkins ? Do i have to create a POM.xml ? If yes what to insert inside ? Where do I put it ?

• If that's not the solution ? what should I do ?

Thanks in advance ! :-)

If the Junit tests run properly on your workstation, then you must do the following:

• Ensure your application gets started your application (if you have a Java application, use for instance Maven Jetty Plugin ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/Jetty_Maven_Plugin ). You can tight that to the integration-test if you use Maven Failsafe plugin
• You'll need to start an fake X server before the job starts: use Xvfb Jenkins plugin ( https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin )
• You'll need the correct WebDriver for your browser, for Google Chrome, see https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
