How To Setup Eclipse To Run Selenium Script

1) Download Eclipse IDE : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ 2) Download Selenium RC : http://seleniumhq.org/download/ 3) Download Junit : http://www.junit.org/

A. Selenium RC Setup in Local Machine : - Download the Selenium RC : selenium-remote-control-1.0.3 to the C drive which must contain 'selenium-javaclient-driver-1.0.1' and 'selenium-server-1.0.3' floders. - Open Command prompt and run Selenium RC by below command : C:\selenium-remote-control-1.0.3\selenium-server-1.0.3> java -jar seleniumserver.jar - After pressing enter the selenium-rc will the running in the port no 4444 in a new window.

B. Create new project in Eclipse :

Go to File -> New -> Java Project Enter project name e.g. Sample Click Finish button.

C. Import Selenium and JUnit packages into the Eclipse project : In Package Explorer right click project Sample and select Properties.

Go to Java Build Path then select Libraries tab. Click Add External JARs and import junit-4.7.jar and selenium-java-client-driver.jar .

Note : - 'selenium-java-client-driver.jar' is found in the 'C:\selenium-remote-control-1.0.3\seleniumjava-client-driver1.0.1' And 'junit-4.7.jar' is found in the download JUnit folder.You have to set the build path of both JARs in eclipse from only from you local machine directory where these JARs are available.

Now our Eclipse environment is ready for Selenium Project [Congrats... !!!].

D. Step is to prepare a test case in Selenium IDE :

- A small test that searches for linux word in google. To export test case as Java, in Selenium IDE go to Options -> Format -> Java (Junit) Selenium RC. - As a result you should get something like this :

package com.example.tests; import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Untitled extends SeleneseTestCase { public void setUp() throws Exception { setUp("http://www.google.com/" "*chrome"); } public void testUntitled() throws Exception { selenium.open("/"); selenium.type("q", "linux"); selenium.click("btnG"); } }

E. Edit the Code as Below for Eclipse Running Environment :

package com.example.tests;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*; public class GoogleTest extends SeleneseTestCase { public DefaultSelenium selenium; public void setUp() throws Exception { selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.google.com/"); selenium.start(); } public void testGoogleTest() throws Exception { selenium.open("/"); selenium.type("q", "linux"); selenium.click("btnG"); selenium.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); } } F. Lets add it in our Eclipse project :

In Package Explorer right click on our Sample project and select New -> Class Enter class name GoogleTest and package name com.example.tests Click Finish button. Copy the above code and paste in the Eclipse and Save it. Check there shouldn't be any Error mark in the Code.

Note : If any issue please be sure about your JAR paths are correct in the JAVA-Build Path of Eclipse.

G. Test Script Execution :

- Now, to start the test just select Run -> Run As -> Junit test. Or Right Click on Eclipse code and Click RunAs : Junit

H. Observation :

- After a few Second 2 Windows will open as :

1. Selenium Debug window 2. IE with Gogle.com with search results for linux word.

I. Modify code to add more Scripts :

public void testGoogleTest() throws Exception { selenium.open("/"); selenium.type("q", "linux"); selenium.click("btnG"); selenium.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); } - Modify this script as per your functional test only by adding a new method start with 'test<scriptName>'. - Here any Method starts with 'test' which is the test-script execution entry point.

Hi Sarita, ANT" scripting helps in build creation and deploying the scripts you created . . it helps you in defining where your library, result location , where the test cases(RC scripts stored ) . The order of Test cases to be executed .. Better to say like a shell script or .bat file .

Or better to say it helps you in automating your automated test cases .

Hi Girija,

In this set up you required selenium client and server jar, eclipse and Junit jar. Do you know for what purpose behind using "ANT"?
