使用CircleCI进行Ruby硒测试

Question

I am facing a problem running selenium tests with CircleCI service. If I try to test my ruby application's login functionality:

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox
driver.navigate.to "http://0.0.0.0:3000"

driver.find_element(:name, 'user[email]').send_keys('eser@email.com')
driver.find_element(:name, 'user[password]').send_keys('password')
driver.find_element(:name, 'commit').click

On local machine it works perfectly, but with CircleCI test fails. To be more specific, looks like on CircleCI my tests cannot access localhost (tried curl localhost:3000 in CircleCI test box - nothing found). I also tried changing 0.0.0.0 to localhost as well as to 127.0.0.1 - still same result. If I try very similar test for testing google's search (driver.navigate.to " http://www.google.com ", etc.) it works with no problem. Tried to contact CircleCI - no response so far. Any ideas how to get my test pass, or at least how to get my application address when it is on CircleCI server?

In order to run tests, you need to have a selenium grid up and running. It works locally, because your box can run selenium tests.. CircleCI cannot run tests, it's just a CI.

What you need to do, is in your project, have your selenium tests point at a grid.
