Thank you very much!!

Hi,

In order to run Selenium RC Server you have to go to "selenium-server-1.0-beta-2" directory :

Code:

cd selenium-server-1.0-beta-2

and run "jar" file using Java virtual machine:

Code:

java -jar selenium-server-1.0-beta-2.jar

Now your Selenium RC Server is ready to work !

"...implementing automated tests can create as many problems as it solves..." but, this is the only way to success!!!

Firstly there is nothing known as installing selenium RC.
RC has to be configured in eclipse FOllowing are the steps:

1) Make sure java and eclipse are installed in your machine.
2) Download the selenium jar files from selenium site.
3) Include the class files in the project classpath
4) Make sure junit or TestNg is installed in eclipse.
5) Make a test method in a class. Make sure that the class extends the SeleneseTestCase.java

This is a sample java file code which navigates to google.com:
package tests;
----------------------------------------------------------------
import java.io.FileInputStream;

import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterSuite;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestCase;

public class NewTest extends SeleneseTestCase{
@Test
public void f(Integer n, String s) {
String xpath_table = "xpath=//html/body/div[@id='searchform']/form[@id='tsf']/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[1]/table[@id='sftab']";

SeleniumServer server=null;

try {
server = new SeleniumServer();
server.boot();
server.start();
setUp("http://www.gmail.com/","*firefox");
selenium.setSpeed("3000");
selenium.open("/");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.windowFocus();




} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("SERVER NOT STARTED");
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}


}

}
