• The Magnolia webapp runs on the host as usual
• with manual-tests profile
• e.g. mvn clean install verify -P jetty6-standalone,manual-tests
• free hint #1: run this build from another location on your machine than the one you typically work at
• free hint #2: run it in offline mode (mvn -o ...) if you just installed one of the modules you want to put under test

2. Selenium server setup

1. Download In the VM, download Selenium Server (formerly the Selenium RC Server)
   
   • http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/
   • should be something like selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar
   • and then run it, e.g. java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar
   Adjust AbstractMagnoliaUITest — locally only
   
2. On your host, adjust AbstractMagnoliaUITest (keep it local)
   
   • Adjust the SELENIUM_SERVER_HOST_NAME system property to your VM's host-name
     • so that UI tests launched from your IDE know where to point selenium's RemoteWebDriver to.
   • Adjust the DOMAIN_PROPERTY system property to your host machine's host-name
     • so that your VM's Firefox can access your running instance on your host machine.
     • mind that the port number may be different, depending on what branch/edition your bundle is currently running
   • Basically replace the FirefoxDriver with a RemoteWebDriver
   • pass on the URL of your selenium server
   • default URL is something like http://{your-hostname.local}:4444/wd/hub
   • pass the FirefoxProfile along through the DesiredCapabilities

   • Code Block
     language java title AbstractMagnoliaUITest.java
     URL@BeforeClass public seleniumServerUrlstatic = null; tryvoid setUpOnce() { String vmHostName = "yourSystem.setProperty(SELENIUM_SERVER_HOST_NAME, "<your-vm-hostnamehostname>.local"); seleniumServerUrl = new URL(String.format(System.setProperty(DOMAIN_PROPERTY, "http://%s<your-hostname>.local:4444/wd8399/hub", vmHostName)); } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {} DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); capabilities.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, firefoxProfile); driver = new RemoteWebDriver(seleniumServerUrl, capabilities);

   • Check out the attached patch file: remote-webdriver.patch
   • Launch a UI test from your IDE to validate the setup
3. ProfitAdjust the DEFAULT_DOMAIN constant as well, in AbstractMagnoliaIntegrationTest — locally only
   
4. should be your machine's hostname or IP address as to be reachable from the guest
e.g. http://mymachine.local:8299/

3. Fancy shell script + desktop launcher for the Selenium server

1. Create a new script, e.g. selenium-server on the desktop as follows
   
   • (provided your selenium server jar is on the desktop too)

   • Code Block
     language bash title selenium-server.sh
     #!/bin/bash gnome-terminal -e "java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar"

2. Make it executable
   • chmod +x your-script
   • Go to Nautilus (eq. Finder) preferences
     • Edit > Preferences, "Behavior" tab
     • Tick "Run executable text files when they are opened"
       
       
3. The fancy icon
   • Download it http://www.seleniumhq.org/images/selenium-logo.png and save it locally to e.g. /home/{user}/.icons/
   • Select your script, right-click and go to the file Properties > Click the icon and select yours
