            selenium.shutDownSeleniumServer();
            seleniumServer .stop();
            seleniumServer = null;
        }

Code to start and stop Selenium server with eclipse setup

This is the minimum code to start the server and shutdown.

package file;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

public class Reset extends SeleneseTestCase {

   private SeleniumServer seleniumServer;
   private Selenium selenium = new DefaultSelenium( "localhost",4444,
            "*chrome","http://");

  public void setUp() throws Exception
      {
          seleniumServer = new SeleniumServer();
          seleniumServer.start();
          selenium.start();
      }


//Test methods shd go here

  public void tearDown()throws Exception
      {
      selenium.stop();
      seleniumServer.stop();
      }

}

Eclipse Configuration

create new project->enter project name->next->libraries->add selenium server.jar and junit-4.8.2.jar and click finish.

Way to export the java program to eclipse IDE.

1)After recording test case,click on options->format->Junit 3
2)Copy the method and paste it in between setup and teardown method.
3)Run->run as Junit

You can see your test case running...Enjoy!!!

Run selenium tests in IE 8 (windows 7)

In windows 7, it is not possible to run selenium tests in IE 8. However, there is a workaround. Go to IE 8, Tools->Compatibility view Settings and then check the Display all sites in compatibility view.

Now if you type *iexplore in your code, it will run perfectly in the browser.

Creating Test Suite in TestNG

Create a Click class with 2 methods testClick1,testClick2 and Suite called ClickSuite.xml

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">


import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;

import org.openqa.selenium.server.*;
import org.testng.annotations.*;


public class Click {
public Selenium selenium;
public SeleniumServer seleniumserver;

@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {
RemoteControlConfiguration rc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();
seleniumserver = new SeleniumServer(rc);
selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.google.co.in/");
seleniumserver.start();
selenium.start();
}

@Test
public void testClick()throws Exception {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.windowMaximize();
selenium.click("link=regexp:Advanced [s|S]earch");
selenium.waitForPageToLoad("5000");
selenium.click("id=opt-icon");
System.out.println(selenium.getLocation());
selenium.click("link=Scholar");
Thread.sleep(10000);
}


@Test
public void testClick2() throws Exception {
selenium.open("/");
selenium.type("q", "selenium link locator");
selenium.click("btnG");
}

@AfterClass
public void tearDown()throws Exception {
selenium.stop();
seleniumserver.stop();


}
}

Now make ClickTestSuite.xml

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="ClickTestSuite" verbose="3">

<test name="testClick">
<classes>
<class name="Click"></class>
</classes>
</test>

<test name="testClick2">
<classes>
<class name="Click"></class>
</classes>
</test>


</suite>

Hope it helps...
