Hi, I have problem : 1. When i try to run selenium test and the host target is http://localhost:8080/, my browser (opera 9.5) hang, and do nothing after initial new window. Command on console to start selenium server: java -jar selenium-server.jar -multiwindow. Everything is ok until process try to create new DefaultSelenium(......) 2. I try to change browser to Firefox 3, and everything is stop for a long time, when selenium try to prepare profile for firefox. Thanks. Regards, Sai

The blog was informative.Can you paste your build.xml used by ant script? Can we start the selenium server through ant script itself?

Yes, the selenium server can be started through ANT script. Here's the snippet that will start the server: ... <target name="start-selenium-server"> < java jar="${ws.home}/lib/selenium-server.jar" fork="true"/> </target> ... The current issue is that the command will hang after it starts server. so you 'll have to do the rest of the steps in another window. or use 'start' command on windows to start selenium in the background. e.g. <target name="start-selenium-server"> <exec executable="start" failonerror="false" dir="testws/lib"> <arg line="java -jar selenium-server.jar"/> </exec> </target>

Hi i have tried to create a frame work following Aditya's steps. e) On top of the test method: @Test(groups = { "" }) e.g. @Test(groups = { "roller" }) My script is below and it gives error compile: [echo] making directory...

Nice blog. I'm trying to add multiple tests to the main testcase. They all ran successfully, however, they ran in random order. Would anyone know how to get the tests to run sequentially? [testng] [TestRunner] WILL BE RUN IN RANDOM ORDER: [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_5() [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_3() [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_2() [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_1() [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_4() [testng] [TestRunner] WILL BE RUN SEQUENTIALLY: [testng] [TestRunner] === [testng] [TestRunner] Found 5 applicable methods [testng] [Invoker 8568863] Invoking com.example.tests.main.MainTest_5 [testng] [Invoker 8568863] Invoking com.example.tests.main.MainTest_3 [testng] [Invoker 8568863] Invoking com.example.tests.main.MainTest_2 [testng] [Invoker 8568863] Invoking com.example.tests.main.MainTest_1 [testng] [Invoker 8568863] Invoking com.example.tests.main.MainTest_4 Thanks

Yes, you can use the sequential attribute in the annotation. @Test (sequential=true)

Would the sequential attribute be defined in all of the @Test instances as below? @AfterSuite(alwaysRun = true) private void stopTest() { selenium.stop(); } @Test(sequential = true) public void MainTest_1() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; } @Test(sequential = true) public void MainTest_2() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; } @Test(sequential = true) public void MainTest_3() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; } It compiles and runs but still, not sequentially. Thought it may be the testNG version, so I tried using 5.8 with the same results.

In the TestNG documentation, I found that the sequential attribute can only be used in the class level and will be ignored if used at the method level. Once I moved it to the class level, it's working as desired. Thanks for the suggestion.

Try this @Test(groups = {'Test_1" , sequential = true) public void MainTest_1() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; @Test(groups = {'MainTest_2" , sequential = true) ........ for each test class And, testng.xml file .......................... ........................

Correct the typo @Test(groups = {'Test_1"} , sequential = true) public void MainTest_1() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; @Test(groups = {'MainTest_2"} , sequential = true) for each test class And, testng.xml file <suite .......> <test name="MainTest_1"> <groups> <run> <include name="Test_1"/> </run> </group> <classes> <class name="com.......Test_1/> </classes> </test name> <test name=....> </test name> </suite>

When I added the sequential attribute after each of the @Test method lines, the test runs in Random order. Only way to get the test to say that it is running sequentially is by adding the attribute before the class level, like... @Test(sequential = true) public class Main extends SeleneseTestCase { ... (@BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite ... @Test(groups = {"Test_1" }) public void MainTest_1() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; } @Test(groups = {"Test_1" }) public void MainTest_2() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; } @Test(groups = {"Test_1" }) public void MainTest_3() throws Exception { Selenium Tests; } } When I run this, it reports [testng] [TestRunner] WILL BE RUN IN RANDOM ORDER: [testng] [TestRunner] WILL BE RUN SEQUENTIALLY: [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_1() [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_3() [testng] [TestRunner] com.example.tests.main.MainTest_2() [testng] [TestRunner] ==== Obviously, those are not in the sequential order.

Hi, I tried executing my project after I did the setup, but i have got some. Issue: The script was trying to open the local host using 4848 port ans it was not available. Can you please help in this?

Aditya, I'd just like to say this rocks, the set up was easy and all my tests ran the first time. Kudos
