Running selenium tests using Jenkins in headless browser In following environment

OS- CentOS 6 and Xvfb installed in same machine

Xvfb screen resolution - Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &

Driver - Firefox driver

Selenium webdriver version - 2.52.0

The same test case working fine in windows os with firefox

Answer 1

This is the reason it is important to test on different browsers and on different platforms. Sometimes what works on one browser/os does not work on the same browser but a different platform.

I would update your setup so that you make a screenshot when you run into this type (and most other types) of error. In my experience this is the single best thing you can do to reduce the time spent to debug these issues.

In my setup I do the following:

• Create a screenshot
• Capture the coordinates from the Selenium error message
• Use an image manipulation program to automatically create a red dot where the click happened

Usually I just have to take one look at such an image to see exactly what is happening.

Answer 2

Try this. Install Xvfb plugin on Jenkins. After that install Xvfb in "Global Tool Configuration"

Then under your project configuration, setup xvfb

Try Using resolution given in image

Now run your build :)
