1. Download Selenium Server (formerly the Selenium RC Server)
   
   • http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/
   • should be something like selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar
2. Adjust AbstractMagnoliaUITest  — locally only
   
   • 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 seleniumServerUrl = null; try { String vmHostName = "your-vm-hostname"; seleniumServerUrl = new URL(String.format("http://%s.local:4444/wd/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 in the attachments!: remote-webdriver.patch

1. Adjust the DEFAULT_DOMAIN constant as well, in AbstractMagnoliaIntegrationTest — locally only
   • 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

Double-click your script and you're good to go!
