在Jenkins中执行Selenium HTML Test Suite无法在firefox上启动

Question

I am trying to integrate Jenkins with Selenium. I have prepared the following command:

java -jar <Full Path of the Selenium RC Jar, including jar file name> \
 -htmlSuite *firefox "<Application URL>" \
 "<Test Suite Path Including test suite name>" "<Results file name>"

When I executed the command in the command line, it worked fine. Then I called the same command through Jenkins and I got the following error:

INFO - Preparing Firefox profile...
HTML suite exception seen:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Timed out waiting for profile to be created!
    at org.openqa.selenium.server.browserlaunchers.FirefoxChromeLauncher.waitForFullProfileToBeCreated(FirefoxChromeLauncher.java:360)
    at

Then we created a profile for Firefox and ran with the profile. Now I am getting the following error:

516 [main] INFO org.openqa.jetty.util.Container - Started org.openqa.jetty.jetty.Server@13f3045
HTML suite exception seen:

I have jenkins 1.452 and seleniumHQ2.0

Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Before I invoke, Selenium RC, I have added one more command to export display, with this I am able to run selenium RC from Jenkins

Command I executed is

export DISPLAY=:0;

Answer 2

在我们的Jenkins实现中，我们使用Xvfb作为Firefox的无头X服务器运行。您可以在这里查看我们的实现细节http://www.hiringthing.com/2012/04/13/automated-ui-testing-with -jenkins-selenium.html

Answer 3

I was getting the same error trying to get selenium to run headless. After some searching I realised that the user I was running selenium as didn't have access to the Firefox profile directory I had created. Changing the permissions on the profile directory got me past this error.

你可能想在Firefox中为Selenium准备一个配置文件：看看这是否有帮助（答案没有标记为已回答，但是OP发布了他的解决方案。
