Are you running as an admin user? I'm assuming you are in Windows XP or later. Try right clicking and running as admin. My guess is that your user doesn't have rights to launch ie from the command line/script by default.

Hi metman thanks for replying i am using windows xp ,actually after double clicking the bat file IE launches but the after IE launch it is showing the error as in the above post..
waiting for your reply....

If you are trying to run in IE, this line doesn't make much sense:

open /firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official Timed
out after 30000ms

It looks like somewhere you are using a firefox-specific URL, possibly in your script configuration. I'm not sure where that would be in the setup you have, but I'd suggest finding that and try switching it to something generic like about:blank or www.google.com.

Thanks for replying metman, actually this code runs fine for firefox but when i am running the same code for IE ,only we have to change is instead of "*firefox" we have to use "iexploreproxy" for IE ,as i have shown in the bat file, but i am not getting the right output , for IE the output i have shown above, as i m beginner in selenium, i am not able to understand quickly.....pls help me waiting for your reply

You changed your browser type, but you didn't change your base URL. In Java, you do that through one of the params to the setUp method. In the IDE, there is a text box at the top of the window to set your base URL. Your base URL appears to be /firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official which is valid in Firefox (which is why it works there) but is invalid in IE (which is why it doesn't work there). You need to switch that to a universally valid URL like www.google.com or whatever website you are using.

Hi metman Thanks for replying
According to your post have made some changes in the bat file instead of "http://www.google.com" i have change it to "http://www.google.co.in" becoz in IE the URL contains "http://www.google.co.in/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official" in the browser,
and also i have pasted the whole URL in the place of "http://www.google.com" by making these changes it is moving forward than earlier. but giving failure report.

i have created a bat file and storing a result in the results .html
below is the code for bat file.

Please tell me what to do if i am wrong.

The line:

suggests to me that your test is hard coded to go to the Firefox homepage. Try tweaking your test script so that it doesn't try to hit this URL any more.

Hi metman thanks for replying, actually this line comes by it self i have not hard coded to go to the Firefox homepage. i have tried for some other url than the "http://www.google.co.in" but the results is same it runs safely in firefox but failure in IE, below i am sending all the details please go through it

Please tell me what to do if i am wrong.

Please copy the contents of C:
/seleniumtestcase/suite111.html to the forum. Can't really tell you exactly what is failing from the bat /output level. Though I would point out that your script will likely stop working anyway, as it relies on a link on the Times of India website remaining static, even though the site's links change dynamically.

Hi metman thanks for replying below i am sending you the code for suite111.html , waiting for your reply

Code:


<html>
<body>
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr><td>A Suite of Selenese Tests</td></tr>
        </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr><td><a href="times.html">Times Selenium RC</a></td></tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>
</body>
</html>


times.html file is the file which i have recorded through the selenium Ide below is the saved file

times
open	/
clickAndWait	link=China to build two Pak nuclear reactors
click	//div[@id='storydiv']/div[2]
verifyTextPresent	completed

'open /' will open your base URL in the browser. Whatever your base URL is set to is what is important. Also, as I mentioned before, that link will likely not work anymore, as the Times of India site is dynamic. I'm pretty sure your problem all still comes down to your base URL.

Thanks for replying metman , actually you are right there was problem with base URL, i have checked for other url and it is running in Firefox and IE perfectly. I have checked for "https://seleniumforum.forumotion.net/selenium-rc-discussion-f4/selenium-rc-test-suite-issue-t200.htm" base url and getting the output passed

here in the above test case totalTime: 45 and the Timed out after 30000ms .Is the time diffrence between the Timed out and total time is the cause of error...i mean to say that Total time should be less than Timed out ,if it is so then how to adjust the totalTime and Timed out Please reply me..

I believe total time is the time the entire test took to run. Timeout is the time it took for an individual command (usually one that results in a page load) to complete. At least in Java, you can actually manually configure each individual wait time if you want to.

Thanks for replying metman , can you tell me when to use selenium-rc with eclipse, and what is the need to test with eclipse.Waiting for replying..

Where I'm at, we use IntelliJ as our IDE. You need to include the selenium and jUnit libraries in your project in order to utilize selenium. In addition, you need to have selenium RC server running on either localhost or a remote machine to run your tests. There are tutorials to be found through Google for all these things.

Hey metman , i am back after some days i have a question as you know that i am beginner using selenium tool , as i wanted to learn how to test the database using these tool. If you have any link where i will get the details please paste that URL..waiting for your reply .

Selenium itself doesn't really test directly in to databases. It is by definition a browser UI runner. However, since you are using Java, you can use JDBC and other Java functionality to link in to databases for your testing.

Hi Metman
Thanks for replying , i want to learn test selenium rc with TestNG using Ecilipse can u tell me..How to start testing selenium rc with TestNG or JUnit.Waiting for your reply

try this link,
http://automation123.blogspot.in/2010/05/selenium-for-functional-testing.html

Thanks amitbyte,

Actually i am using "selenium-remote-control-1.0.3" and you have send me “selenium-remote-control-1.0.1” and the configuration is diffrent in both the selenium server for JUnit and testNG , I am sending below a link which is showing how to cofigure with JUnit ..
http://www.scribd.com/doc/27530147/Selenium-Simplified-Junit-Preview?secret_password=&autodown=pdf
From the above link i am able to do the testing the Junit fine ..But cannot test with testNG... as i am not getting the point...

i have both "selenium-remote-control-1.0.3" and “selenium-remote-control-1.0.1” in my computer.
But when i am using ur link i am confusing about some point which i have given below

Under topic Selenium RC using Eclipse and TestNG written "copy testng-5.11-jdk14.jar and testng-5.11-jdk15.jar " from where i should copy these files .

Under topic Selenium RC using Eclipse and Junit written Select both jar files “junit.jar” and “selenium-java-client-driver.jar” only “selenium-java-client-driver.jar” is available not the "junit.jar" from selenium-remote-control-1.0.1

so i am not able to move forward .. please help me...

waiting for ur reply...

Sallu,
You can find testng-5.11-jdk14.jar testng-5.11-jdk15.jar from
