Triggering tests through Jenkins on a self-hosted Selenium Server leads to Exceptions

[rmadakasira]

Hi,

I am able to run tests successfully through UI by clicking on "Execute Tests" in "Test Console" page. I am now trying to trigger tests through my Jenkins job, and it triggers the below error. I am able to trigger tests when the "WebDriver Service Provide" is sauceLabs.

Based on this I would imagine, I will have to make few more configuration changes, and I don't want to re-invent the wheel. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @rmadakasira,

I'm assuming that you've written your own class implementing RemoteWebDriverServiceProvider and configured the Settings page to point to your self-hosted server.

• Have you been able to trigger a test manually, i.e. through the TestConsole, against your self-hosted selenium server?
• What version of ccli are you using?

@nadeemg

• Yes, I am to run the tests manually from Test Console against my self-hosted selenium server.
  • I think I am using the initial version of ccli that I got from here (https://github.com/ryojiosawa/cinnamon-boilerplate)

@rmadakasira best guess is that the version of ccli you're using is outdated, and isn't working well with cinnamon. Unfortunately, we do not have a plan for releasing ccli.

Could you rewrite your jenkins job to go through the UI instead?

I don't think I follow you. Can you please explain what you mean ? Thanks.

Since you can manually run tests, why not write a little java or python using webdriver to login to your DE org and run the tests through the UI? This isn't a great solution, I know, but like I said, we have no plans for releasing ccli at this point.

Does this mean that the REST API is not supported either? Couldn't find documentation for it anywhere.

You should probably update http://forcedotcom.github.io/cinnamon/ and remove the mention of ccli.
