How can I automate Google Chrome using Selenium RC

0 votes

I am trying to test my site with Selenium RC + NUnit + asp.net.

I am able to test my work on Firefox,Safari,opera,IE 8 but not google chrome. I entered this as an argument

 selenium = new DefaultSelenium(Server, ServerPort,
                                          "*chrome", DomainURL);

This always loads Firefox and not Google Chrome. 

How can be get it to run on Chrome?.

I am also doing the same thing, so can you share some point as in which file under framework i should put this

 selenium = new DefaultSelenium(Server, ServerPort,
                                          "*chrome", DomainURL);
Hey @Alok, can you please specify, which framework you are using?
hey kim  i am able to get my result with addming googlechrome, so this task is done, thx for your attention, but i really need a help-

I want to run my script in chrome but its not able to upload file using type cmd so is there any way i can upload a document using chrome browser, my combination is chrome + RC and i am reading data using xml files.

Hey @Alok, you can go with Autoit. There you can write script for uploading and downloading documents very easily and then you can call those scripts in your selenium code wherever needed.

Hope this helps!

Chrome is used to launch a special mode of Firefox (a mode in which the applications have various privileges with fewer security restrictions). So, the fact that Firefox is launched instead of Google Chrome is normal.

If you want to launch Google Chrome, you will have to use some other browser other than Chrome.

Using Selenium RC in interactive mode, with something like this :

$ java -jar selenium-server.jar -interactive

and using the getNewBrowserSession command incorrectly like this :

cmd=getNewBrowserSession

I get the list of browsers that are supported and not supported:

23:43:09.317 INFO - Got result: Failed to start new browser session: Browser not supported:
(Did you forget to add a *?)

Supported browsers include:
  *firefox
  *mock
  *firefoxproxy
  *pifirefox
  *chrome
  *iexploreproxy
  *iexplore
  *firefox3
  *safariproxy
  *googlechrome
  *konqueror
  *firefox2
  *safari
  *piiexplore
  *firefoxchrome
  *opera
  *iehta
  *custom
 on session null

So, you should be able to launch Google Chrome using *google chrome instead of *chrome.

This is not done on Windows. And I cannot find anything in the documentation to back me up. Still, with a bit of luck, this might help you.

Anyway, happy learning!
