Body
copied!<p>I'm having trouble getting Selenium to see sites hosted on a virtual machine. The following test causes an error, and I have no idea why:</p> <pre><code><?php require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php'; class ActualTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase { protected function setUp() { $this->setBrowser("*firefox"); $this->setBrowserUrl("http://10.48.77.48/"); // IP of virtual machine $this->setHost('192.168.101.1'); // IP of my Mac } public function testGetHomePage() { $this->open("/", true); } } </code></pre> <p>It returns the following error message, indicating that it couldn't find the virtual machine:</p> <pre><code>$ phpunit ActualTest.php PHPUnit 3.5.6 by Sebastian Bergmann. E Time: 7 seconds, Memory: 6.75Mb There was 1 error: 1) ActualTest::testGetHomePage PHPUnit_Framework_Exception: Response from Selenium RC server for testComplete(). XHR ERROR: URL = http://10.48.77.48/ Response_Code = 404 Error_Message = Page Not Found. /home/craiga/ombudsman/app/systemtests/ActualTest.php:16 FAILURES! Tests: 1, Assertions: 0, Errors: 1. </code></pre> <p>I can access this site any browser anywhere on the network without any problem, but for some reason the browser launched by Selenium can't. This error occurs whether I launch the test from the virtual machine or the Mac.</p> <p>I can get the following test to connect to Google without any problem:</p> <pre><code><?php require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php'; class VanitySearchTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase { protected function setUp() { $this->setBrowser("*firefox"); $this->setBrowserUrl("http://www.google.com.au/"); $this->setHost('192.168.101.1'); // IP of my Mac } public function testSearchForSelf() { $this->open("/"); $this->type("q", "craig anderson"); $this->click("btnG"); $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000"); try { $this->assertTrue($this->isTextPresent("craiga.id.au")); } catch (PHPUnit_Framework_AssertionFailedError $e) { array_push($this->verificationErrors, $e->toString()); } } } </code></pre> <p>This test, which connects to my Mac's default page, also passes without any problems:</p> <pre><code><?php require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php'; class MacTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase { protected function setUp() { $this->setBrowser("*firefox"); $this->setBrowserUrl("http://192.168.101.1/"); $this->setHost('192.168.101.1'); // IP of my Mac } public function testMacHomePage() { $this->open("/"); try { $this->assertTrue($this->isTextPresent("It works!")); } catch (PHPUnit_Framework_AssertionFailedError $e) { array_push($this->verificationErrors, $e->toString()); } } } </code></pre> <p>Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I'm happy to provide whatever information I can about my setup. I'm using Selenium Server 1.0.3, and the latest phpunit from pear.</p>
