使用安装在服务器中的 jenkins 运行 selenium 脚本

Question

I already created a selenium script and I am able make it work. Also I tried to run this using jenkins installed in my local machine. Everything works fine. It was able launch my browser and everything. But when I try using jenkins installed in linux server ang access it through my machine I cant make it work. It got an error because it cant locate my chromedriver.

I'm only using this code to launch my browser. It works in my local machine even I remove the System.setProperty line.

String driverPath = "C:\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe";
public WebDriver driver;

@BeforeClass
public void launchBrowser(){
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", driverPath);
    driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

Can someone help me how to make it work. A step by step procedure would be very much help.

My local machine is on windows 7 and jenkins is installed in linux server.

I think the issue is that you are hard coding the driver path:

String driverPath = "C:\\Selenium\\chromedriver.exe";

So when you execute the script through Jenkins, the system tries to find the chrome driver in Jenkins machine. You should write generalized code. You can do that by:

 String chromeDriver ="src/test/resources/driver/chromedriver.exe";

 System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeDriver);

and check-in the latest drivers in the test Project only
