How to configure and run Selenium TestNG in Bamboo? I need a savior please.

[Nelson Ntege]

I have selenium TestNG test written in java and using STS IDE. I use testNG.xml file to run it as testNG Suite. I use Bitbucket to store all the repositories. Now I want to run the Selenium TestNG test using Bamboo. I have already connected Bamboo to Bitbucket to use the repositories. But I can't figure out how to configure the testNG.xml file, java file, and the jar to Bamboo.

Does any one have any ideas of how to go about it. I have searched from the net for quite sometime, but I haven't come across any good tutorial or guide of how to go about it. 

Here are the files I was using in STS IDE:

JARS

1. selenium-java-2.44.0.jar
2. selenium-java-2.44.0-srcs.jar

CONFIG.PROPERTIES FILE

url=http://mnn.com/

XML FILE

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="JobGo Suite">

<test name="FirefoxTest">
      <parameter name="browser" value="firefox" />
      <classes>
           <class name="com.mnn.MeTab"/>
      </classes>
</test>

</suite>

Please any help is welcome.

The simplest and most scalable way is to used Selenium IDE and this add-on in Bamboo. With one build plan you can target all major browsers from one build plan.

Hi Alexey,

Thank you so much for the help. At last it has worked out.

@Nelson Ntege can you please share a sample project/code how you made it work as I am stuck with the same problem. TIA. 

[Alexey Chystoprudov]

Hello Nelson,

I created sample repository with Maven project and WebDriver test: https://bitbucket.org/chystoprudov/selenium_bamboo/overview

Please see instructions at Readme section. It looks like you configured everything except Maven capability. please follow link in readme to receive more instructions how to setup it. It's pretty easy, you just need to define path to Maven home folder in your environment.

In case pom.xml is not in the root of your repository you need to specify work folder for Maven task

Hope it helps

Regards,

Alexey

Hi @Alexey Chystoprudov @Nelson Ntege

I am trying to execute testng using ant in bamboo. Please visit this link for config details. The problem mentioned in that link has been resolved, but I am unable to execute testng with chromedriver.

I am now getting configuration failure: 1, skips: 1. The testng listener is unable to initialize chromedriver.

How to set chromedriver capability in bamboo? (my bamboo server is on a RHEL server, and driver is located in /usr/local/bin/chromedriver)

Or should I use htmlunit driver? And how to set its capability in bamboo?

PS: Ant and JDK capabilities are already set, and I'm running chrome in headless mode. I haven't also downloaded selenium-java client. i am just working with standalone selenium server jar. 

The tests are successfull in my eclipse IDE and cmd.exe

Hello Alexey,

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I have made the modifications in code using Maven which executes when I use Eclipse IDE.  My biggest problem is with bamboo, I don't have a cue what to put in Executable and Environment variable fields as shown below. 

In the Executable field I have tried to link it up with the JARS from my local machine, but nothing happens.

The repository attached to Bamboo from Bitbucket contains mnn_maven folder (master branch). Inside it, it has the pom.xml and src/com/mnn/simpleBrowserTest.java

Please guide me from here as the configuration seems to be my biggest issue.

Cheers,

Nelson

It always pays off to read documentation: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Maven

Hello Nelson,

To execute your tests in Bamboo you should use some executable build tool. Bamboo supports Ant, Maven, Command line, Grails.

Example of Maven configuration for TestNG tests: http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html
