Error 503 on running selenium tests in jetty (LifecycleExecutionException)

Question

I am trying to run my selenium Integration tests in jetty, But I am getting a Error 503 Service-unavialable on the browser for all the test classes. Here is my pom plugin for running tests.

Answer 1

I was running out of same issues and fixed by updating dependency. Here is the solution.

Include the selenium dependency like,

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
  <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
  <version>2.43.0</version>
  <!-- <scope>test</scope> -->
</dependency>

Here the scope is very important because by default it is in "test" scope. We need to remove that one. Otherwise while running "mvn jetty:run" will not load that dependency.
