• Test execution is done from the IDE, i.e. also on the host

Instructions

...

1a. VM Setup manually

1. Setup your VM and install Ubuntu for example
   1. mount iso image in optical drive
2. In VirtualBox preferences > Network > Host-only Networks, click the add icon
   
   • creates a new virtual network interface e.g. vboxnet0
      
3. In VM Settings > Network
   • 1st slot: select "Host-only Adapter", then choose the one you just created — that vboxnet0
   • 2nd slot: select NAT as is usually the default (to access the interwebs through the host)
4. Install guest additions
• When VirtualBox VM is running
• Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image...

1b. VM Setup with Vagrant

1. Download and install vagrant from https://www.vagrantup.com or use the vagrant manager http://vagrantmanager.com
2. Clone the repro https://git.magnolia-cms.com/users/mmuehlebach/repos/uitestmachine
3. Go to the cloned directory and run vagrant up
4. Start selenium server with ./selenium-server.sh

2. Selenium server setup

1. 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

2. On your host

   , adjust AbstractMagnoliaUITest (keep it local)
   
3. 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
4. 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

run the UI Tests with the variables seleniumServerHostName which is the address of your newly created VM and containerHostName which is the address used of your VM to access your host system (this is probably not equal to your machines address in the magnolia network)




Code Block
language

javatitleAbstractMagnoliaUITest.java

@BeforeClass
public static void setUpOnce() {
    System.setProperty(SELENIUM_SERVER_HOST_NAME, "<your-vm-hostname>.local");
    System.setProperty(DOMAIN_PROPERTY, "http://<your-hostname>.local:8399/");
}

bash

$ mvn -U clean install -Pjetty6-standalone,ui-tests -DseleniumServerHostName=192.168.56.101 -DcontainerHostName=192.168.56.1

If necessary replace the IP addresses.

5. Launch a UI test from your IDE to validate the setup
Profit

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