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...

2. Selenium server setup

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: remote-webdriver.patch
3. 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
