SSH command to start “webdriver-manager” on slave machine using Jenkins

Question

I am actually using protractor and Jenkins to run all the test on remote machine. I am starting "webdriver-manager" manually on remote machine and triggering Jenkins to run the tests, is there a way i can start "webdriver-manager" using Jenkins? like on pre-build step using SSH or "maven" script Your comment will really appreciated.

Answer 1

We've solved it using grunt , there is a specific grunt-protractor-webdriver plugin that would start the webdriver-manager for you:

This Grunt task starts a Selenium WebDriver, blocks until it's ready to accept connections, and then leaves it running in the background until the Grunt process finished.

There is also grunt-protractor-runner .
