java - running selenium test on an headless server with htmlunit

Question

Hi I'm trying to run a simple selenium test on an headless server. I want to use HtmlUnit because the server has only 128 mb of ram so xvfb+firefox is unsuitable.

when i run:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite *webdriver http://example.com test.html log.html

i get this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: No webdriver session id given

I guess the problem is I have no htmlunit browser installed. Isn't it?

How can I install the htmlunit browser?

Answer 1

I think your code has some syntax error. I had used selenium server to run a html test suite without webdriver and used the following code:-

java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*browsername" "baseURL" "TestSuite name along with the path" "path and name of report to be generated"

hopefully this will help you..
