How to start SeleniumRC in Java IDE?

Hello,

I have trouble to run my test with NetBean as below:

public class MercuryTourTest extends SeleneseTestCase {
public static void main (String [] Args)throws Exception{
TestRunner.run(new MercuryTourTest());
}
}

I got the error:
1) MercuryTourTest(com.core.testscripts.MercuryTourTest)junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: TestCase.fName cannot be null
at com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase.runBare(SeleneseTestCase.java:212)
at com.core.testscripts.MercuryTourTest.main(MercuryTourTest.java:40)

Can anybody please help me with it?

What do you use in main to start your testXXX method?

If using below instead of TestRunner.run(new MercuryTourTest()), it would work.

MercuryTour obj = new MercuryTour();
obj.setUp();
obj.testMercuryTour();

Thanks,

Hi,

To start RC through java IDE you have tofirst link your selenium-java jar and junit to your project folder. Next your selenium server must be started before executing code.

I have one simple code created on google site and it is easy to understand and working fine.

Snnipet of code:

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

public class testElementProperty
{
private Selenium browser;


public static void main(String args[])
{
testElementProperty obj = new testElementProperty();
obj.setUp();
}



public void setUp()
{
browser = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*chrome", "http://www.google.co.in/");
browser.start();
browser.open("http://www.google.co.in/");
browser.type("q", "selenium rc");
browser.click("btnG");


}


}


Try this and you will get some hint to regarding your problem. Best of luck.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the above code and it works with Java IDE running as a Java application.

Suppose I want to use the same code to set up Selenium RC with TestNG so I can use TestNG's flexibility. I have read TestNG's documentation and tried some pure testNG class, but I had trouble to set up the above simple steps with testNG...

Please help me and thank you,

Hi all,

I just made it working.

from Selelium IDE export as Java TestNG, I got my test class with only one method as below:

package com.example.tests;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;
import static org.testng.Assert.*;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class GoogleTest extends SeleneseTestNgHelper {

@Test public void testGoogle () throws Exception {

selenium.selectWindow("name=null");
browser.type("q", "selenium rc");
browser.click("btnG");

}

In Eclipse, I needed to modify the above a little:

public class Tour_NG extends SeleneseTestNgHelper {

private Selenium browser;

@Test public void testTour_NG() throws Exception {

browser = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*chrome", "http://www.google.com/");
browser.start();
browser.open("http://www.google.com/");
browser.type("q", "selenium rc");
browser.click("btnG");

}

and configured a testNG run configuration and ran it successfully. It was simple and I got a nice report set in the file system under the test directory.

A big thanks to Adviser for your tips!
