Configuration and launch scripts for Mozilla's Selenium Grid environment.

1. Java Runtime Environment
2. ANT

Default properties are set in default.properties, and these can be overridden for an individual machine by providing a <HOSTNAME>.properties file. Any properties in this file will override the default. To find out your hostname run ant debug in the location you've checked out this project and look for something that looks like the following line:

[echoproperties] env.HOSTNAME=LokiMac.local

In this example the hostname is LokiMac.local so your properties file will be LokiMac.local.properties

The hub configuration is stored in hub_configuration.json.

Below are the properties that can be configured:

selenium.version

The version number of Selenium to use. This is used to locate the library, for example a value of 2.0rc2 will load the library lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc2.jar

hub.host

The host that the hub is running on. This is used when registering nodes with the hub.

hub.port

The port that the hub is running on. Also used when registering nodes with the hub.

node.configuration

Configuration file for the Selenium node, including browser capabilities.

rc.arguments

Any additional arguments to pass to an RC node when it's launched. For example, -singleWindow would launch the Selenium and the application under test in the same window using frames.

custom.firefox.profile

The path of a custom Firefox profile to use. If this property is specified but the value is empty then Selenium will not provide the -firefoxProfileTemplate command line argument and a fresh profile will be generated. Note that the Firefox profile needs to be located in firefoxprofiles directory, and the value of this property is the relative path within firefoxprofiles.

Run the following command from the project's location:

ant launch-hub

Run the following command from the project's location:

ant launch-node

You can override any of the properties from default.properties or <HOSTNAME>.properties on the command line by passing them in the format -D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE>. For example, to specify a custom firefox profile for an RC node you would use ant launch-node -Dcustom.firefox.profile=myProfile
