Thanks,

At first: log from console 1.
You can run the server simply by typing in command line (from anywhere on the disk):
java -jar C:\Selenium\Selenium RC>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.12.0

At second: log from console 2.
The main problem is in this line:

Code:

Could not find the main class: ΓÇôjar.  Program will exit.

Is there any class in your test cases file?

Maybe this http://darrellgrainger.blogspot.com/2010/02/creating-selenium-test-case-in-java.html will help you. There is information how should look test cases file.

Hi Faramka,
Itried by this and got the output,

Can't find HTML Suite file:C:\Selenium\testtest\testsuite1.html:
Usage: java -jar selenium-server.jar [-interactive] [options]

-port : the port number the selenium server should use
(default 4444)
-timeout : an integer number of seconds before we should give
up
-interactive: puts you into interactive mode. See the tutorial for
more details
-singleWindow: puts you into a mode where the test web site
executes in a frame. This mode should only be selected if the
application under test does not use frames.
-profilesLocation: Specifies the directory that holds the profiles
that java clients can use to start up selenium. Currently
supported for Firefox only.
-forcedBrowserMode : sets the browser mode to a single
argument (e.g. "*iexplore") for all sessions, no matter what is
passed to getNewBrowserSession
-forcedBrowserModeRestOfLine : sets the browser mode to
all the remaining tokens on the line (e.g. "*custom
/some/random/place/iexplore.exe") for all sessions, no matter what
is passed to getNewBrowserSession
-userExtensions : indicates a JavaScript file that will be
loaded into selenium
-browserSessionReuse: stops re-initialization and spawning of the
browser between tests
-avoidProxy: By default, we proxy every browser request; set this
flag to make the browser use our proxy only for URLs containing
'/selenium-server'
-firefoxProfileTemplate : normally, we generate a fresh empty
Firefox profile every time we launch. You can specify a directory
to make us copy your profile directory instead.
-debug: puts you into debug mode, with more trace information and
diagnostics on the console
-browserSideLog: enables logging on the browser side; logging
messages will be transmitted to the server. This can affect
performance.
-ensureCleanSession: If the browser does not have user profiles,
make sure every new session has no artifacts from previous
sessions. For example, enabling this option will cause all user
cookies to be archived before launching IE, and restored after IE
is closed.
-trustAllSSLCertificates: Forces the Selenium proxy to trust all
SSL certificates. This doesn't work in browsers that don't use the
Selenium proxy.
-log : writes lots of debug information out to a log
file
-htmlSuite : Run a
single HTML Selenese (Selenium Core) suite and then exit
immediately, using the specified browser (e.g. "*firefox") on the
specified URL (e.g. "http://www.google.com"). You need to specify
the absolute path to the HTML test suite as well as the path to the
HTML results file we'll generate.
-proxyInjectionMode: puts you into proxy injection mode, a mode
where the selenium server acts as a proxy server for all content
going to the test application. Under this mode, multiple domains
can be visited, and the following additional flags are supported:

-dontInjectRegex : an optional regular expression that
proxy injection mode can use to know when to bypss injection
-userJsInjection : specifies a JavaScript file which will
then be injected into all pages
-userContentTransformation : a regular
expression which is matched against all test HTML content; the
second is a string which will replace matches. These flags can
be used any number of times. A simple example of how this could
be useful: if you add "-userContentTransformation https http"
then all "https" strings in the HTML of the test application will
be changed to be "http".

Thanks

Hi umashankar,

Yesterday I was facing this issue, so probably I can help you now

First of all: did you save a test suite in Selenium IDE (File -> Save Test Suite)? You have to generate test suite - it will contain information about test cases (which, of course, should also be saved (File -> Save Test Case)).

Are you sure the paths are alright?
And try put name of browser and URL in the quotation marks.

Code:

C:\Selenium\Selenium RC>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.12.0.jar -htmlsuite "*firefox" "http://book.theautomatedtester.co.uk" "C:\Selenium\testtest\testsuite1" "C:\Selenium\testtest\result.html"

Hi Faramka,

I was did everything as you mentioned but no luck again am facing the same issue, Where else i amay went wrong faramka?

The problem was solved, so I'll write how to deal with this.

Issue:
Info from log: "Checking Resource aliases"
Solution:
Please edit test suit file and check is there something like this:
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? >
If there is - remove it.

Yes faramka, now its working fine.. Thanks a lot for your great support..

Many Thanks..
