Headless tests

This is experiment to run Selenium tests on remote Linux host.

Without Selenium Grid. Without always-on running Selenium server.

Here is the Linux system I used to run test:

• CentOS 7.5
• Firefox 60
• Chrome 66

And to write test, I used:

• TestNG 6.14
• Selenium 3.12
• Groovy 2.3
• Gradle

Steps to configure OS:

• Install Minimal CentOS 7.5

• Configure it's network:

  • sudo nmtui
  • service network restart
  • ip a

• Install some basic software:

  • sudo yum install rsync
  • sudo systemctl enable rsyncd
  • sudo yum install nano
  • sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless

  Install Apache and open firewall

  • sudo yum install httpd
  • sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
  • sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent && sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent
  • sudo systemctl restart firewalld
  • sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

? permissions for test results ?

• Don't install Firefox via yum, because it's old (v 52. it doesn't support headless mode)
• Install Firefox by downloading from Mozilla:
  • cd /opt/
  • sudo wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/60.0.1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-60.0.1.tar.bz2
  • sudo yum install bzip2
  • sudo tar xfj firefox-60.0.1.tar.bz2
  • sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
  • firefox --version
• Install Chrome:
  • sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo

paste:

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

• sudo yum install google-chrome-stable
• chrome --version
