  1. POHaving trouble launching Google Chrome through Selenium RC server on Ubuntu
    text
    copied!<p>I'm running Selenium RC server 2.0b3 on Ubuntu 11.04. I installed Google Chrome and am trying to run some tests against it. I'm able to run tests against Firefox just fine. However, when I run my test against the Selenium server, it just hangs and then times out. This is all the server log reports (notice the null session):</p> <pre><code>16:14:16.810 INFO - Command request: getNewBrowserSession[*googlechrome, http://mydomain.com, ] on session null 16:14:16.810 INFO - creating new remote session 16:14:16.811 INFO - Allocated session 6913c9613c554db798e109eadefd43da for http://mydomain.com, launching... 16:14:16.811 INFO - Launching Google Chrome... 16:19:44.776 ERROR - Failed to start new browser session, shutdown browser and clear all session data org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteCommandException: timed out waiting for window 'null' to appear at org.openqa.selenium.server.FrameGroupCommandQueueSet.waitForLoad(FrameGroupCommandQueueSet.java:564) at org.openqa.selenium.server.FrameGroupCommandQueueSet.waitForLoad(FrameGroupCommandQueueSet.java:521) at org.openqa.selenium.server.BrowserSessionFactory.createNewRemoteSession(BrowserSessionFactory.java:374) at org.openqa.selenium.server.BrowserSessionFactory.getNewBrowserSession(BrowserSessionFactory.java:125) at org.openqa.selenium.server.BrowserSessionFactory.getNewBrowserSession(BrowserSessionFactory.java:87) at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.getNewBrowserSession(SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.java:785) at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.doCommand(SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.java:422) at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.handleCommandRequest(SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.java:393) at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.handle(SeleniumDriverResourceHandler.java:146) at org.openqa.jetty.http.HttpContext.handle(HttpContext.java:1530) at org.openqa.jetty.http.HttpContext.handle(HttpContext.java:1482) at org.openqa.jetty.http.HttpServer.service(HttpServer.java:909) at org.openqa.jetty.http.HttpConnection.service(HttpConnection.java:820) at org.openqa.jetty.http.HttpConnection.handleNext(HttpConnection.java:986) at org.openqa.jetty.http.HttpConnection.handle(HttpConnection.java:837) at org.openqa.jetty.http.SocketListener.handleConnection(SocketListener.java:243) at org.openqa.jetty.util.ThreadedServer.handle(ThreadedServer.java:357) at org.openqa.jetty.util.ThreadPool$PoolThread.run(ThreadPool.java:534) 16:19:44.777 INFO - Killing Google Chrome... 16:19:44.777 INFO - Got result: Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser on session null </code></pre> <p>I am starting Selenium as a service on system startup, like so ...</p> <pre><code>start() { log_daemon_msg "Starting selenium-server server: " /usr/bin/Xvfb :15 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x8 &amp; export DISPLAY=localhost:15.0 su selenium -c 'java -jar /opt/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-2.0b3.jar -userExtensions /opt/selenium/user-extensions.js &gt; /var/log/se_rc_server.log 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;' PID=$! ### Create the lock file ### echo $PID &gt; /var/run/selenium-server.pid echo </code></pre> <p>Any ideas how I can eliminate the Google Chrome null sessions and get my tests to run? Thanks, - Dave</p>
