Selenium Server Setup and Testing

Using Selenium Server and a guest virtual machine requires a lot of setup and configuration. The following sections describe the configuration and test execution process when using Selenium Server.

VirtualBox and Virtual Machine Setup

The following steps describe the process for configuring an Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7 VM provided by Microsoft.

  1. Download a virtual machine from Microsoft by selecting 'IE9 on Win7' with 'VirtualBox' as the platform.

  2. Import the virtual machine with VirtualBox.

  3. Configure your VirtualBox preferences host-only adapter.

  4. Change the virtual machine network configuration.

  5. Boot the virtual machine.

  6. Setup Selenium Server on the virtual machine.

    • Create the directory C:\selenium
    • Download the latest version of Java
    • Download the selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar from here and extract it to C:\selenium
    • Download the IEDriver from here and extract it to C:\selenium
    • Modify your %PATH% to include C:\selenium

  7. Configure port-forwarding on the virtual machine.

    • Open PowerShell running as an Administrator
    • Run this command
      • listenaddress represents the SELENIUM_SERVER_APP_DOMAIN, generally localhost
      • listenport represents the port you expose using Selenium Server
      • connectaddress represents the host IP address (our host-only adapter IP address)
      • connectport represents the SELENIUM_SERVER_APP_PORT 
        $ netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=3001 listenaddress=localhost connectport=3001 connectaddress=10.100.1.1

  8. Disable Windows Firewall on all profiles.

  9. In Windows Network and Sharing Center, configure the Local network settings.

  10. Verify the machines are connected by pinging the guest virtual machine

    • From your computer 
      $ ping 10.100.1.2
    • From the Windows VM 
      $ ping 10.100.1.1

Setting Up and Starting Selenium Server

The following steps are for a macOS/OSX host running a Windows 7 guest with Internet Explorer 9.

  1. Install selenium-server
$ brew install selenium-server
  1. In a bash window, start a selenium-server hub
$ selenium-server -role hub
  1. In a CMD window on the virtual machine, start a selenium-server node:
$ java -jar C:\selenium\selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar -role node -hub http://10.100.1.1:4444/grid/register  -maxSession 15 -browser browserName="internet explorer",version=ANY,platform=WINDOWS,maxInstances=5 -Dwebdriver=C:\selenium\IEDriverServer.exe -port 5556
