Avoid browser closing on selenium RC shutdown

Hi All,

I am using java/Selenium RC for testing. I start the selenium server programatically and i find that whenever an exception occurs or when the execution of a test case is completed, the browser gets closed. What can be done to have the browser opened?

I googled to find there is a property auto_stop. IT is mentioned that if it is by default set to true, and if it is made as false we can avoid the browser closing. But am not able to figure out where and how i can alter this property. Can someone plz let me know on this?

In your project code you have a command like:
selenium.Stop();

comment this, and hopefully browser will remains open.

bye!

I dont have any such line to stop the selenium server.

This is in C# here:

public void TeardownTest()
{
try
{
selenium.Stop();




Can you copy your java code here?
will try to let you know.
it must be there like that.

Sorry to interrupt the conversation, but is there a way to avoid this behaviour as well for Selenium perl test cases?

Its ok Nicolae!

You need to remove or comment this command in your perl code:

$sel->stop();


Let me know, if not work.


Thanks

I dont' have that line in my test case code, where do you mean I have to remove it from?
Thanks in advance!

if its not there.....then it should not stop automatically.

Can you copy your whole code here?

use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::HiRes qw(sleep);
use Test::WWW::Selenium;
use Test::More "no_plan";
use Test::Exception;

my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost",
port => 4444,
browser => "*chrome",
browser_url => "http://wpre1" );

my $range = 90000000;

my $random = int(rand($range)) + $minimum;
sub LetraDNI {
my $numbers = shift;
return substr( 'TRWAGMYFPDXBNJZSQVHLCKE', $numbers % 23, 1);
}
my $letter = LetraDNI ($random);
my $DNI = $random.$letter;

my $email = "name.lastname+" . $DNI . '@mail.es';
my $nombre = "Nombre";
my $apellido = "Apellido";
my $calle = "Palma";
my $CP = "28288";
my $poblacion = "Madrid";
my $telefono = "666999666";



$sel->open_ok("registrationform.do");
$sel->click_ok("//input[\@name='idtype' and \@value='1']");
$sel->type_ok("id", $DNI);
$sel->type_ok("identifier=registration-login-table-password", $password);
$sel->type_ok("confirmationpassword", $password);
$sel->type_ok("identifier=registration-login-table-email", $email);
$sel->type_ok("identifier=registration-login-table-confirmation-email", $email);
$sel->select_ok("//select[\@name='treatment']", "label=Sr.");
$sel->type_ok("identifier=firstname2", $nombre);
$sel->type_ok("identifier=lastname12", $apellido);
$sel->type_ok("identifier=lastname22", $apellido);
$sel->select_ok("//select[\@name='dayBirth']", "label=31");
$sel->select_ok("//select[\@name='monthBirth']", "label=Diciembre");
$sel->select_ok("//select[\@name='yearBirth']", "label=1990");
$sel->type_ok("identifier=street2", "Callejuela");
$sel->type_ok("identifier=zipcode2", "28028");
$sel->select_ok("//select[\@name='province']", "label=Madrid");
$sel->type_ok("identifier=city2", $poblacion);
$sel->type_ok("identifier=phonenumber2", $telefono);
$sel->type_ok("mobilephone", $telefono);
$sel->click_ok("readRules");
$sel->click_ok("submitButton");

In java you can avoid the line - selenium.close()
Selenium.close() - closes the browser
selenium.stop() - closes the RC log window
