如何远程执行测试代码（maven/java/testNG/selenium）？

Question

I running locally a Maven/Selenium/Java/TestNG test project for a bit, and I wish I could push it to Docker/Kube so that it will be executed remotely, without using my machine's power and also in order to be able to be used "without" me.

My concern is that every time I look for examples or documentation about it, I can only find explanation about running the driver interactions remotely using Selenium Grid or similar. But never about running the test code by itself remotely. Any tutorials or examples about it?

I plan on using Browserstack (or a similar solution with remote driver) for driver interactions, and I already run a local Allure server for reporting, so I only need to containerise the test code, and I wonder if anyone of you has already done it and how. Any suggestion is welcome:)

Answer 1

You can do that by multiple approches, but first you need to create a dockerfile

Using a specific mvn plugin spotify and that needs to be configured in your pom file.

Or just by just using docker commands, https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/#:~:text=The%20docker%20build%20command%20builds%20Docker%20images%20from,instruction%20to%20reference%20a%20file%20in%20the%20context .

To run selenium you have to see the command line option. You can directly run using testng as per the below discussion:

How to run TestNG from command line

But as you are already using maven for build management, you can use surefire-plugin and run mvn test to execute the test. see the discussion at:

How to run testng.xml from Maven command line

When ever you integrate tests or any other tools in CI/CD or any other such tools see for command line options. See how you can execute test from command line
