RUNNING SELENIUM TEST IN DOCKER CONTAINER USING JENKINS WITH ZALENIUM & GRADLE.

RUNNING SELENIUM TEST IN DOCKER CONTAINER USING JENKINS WITH ZALENIUM & GRADLE.

Step 1:

Pull Jenkins image and run it.

Use the below command to pull and run the Jenkins docker instance.

docker run -p 8085:8080 jenkins/jenkins:lts

once the above command is executed, you will see the below output.

As you can see from the above output “Jenkins is up and running.”

Navigate to http://localhost:8085 to access the Jenkins.

Install Git & Gradle plugin.

Step 2:

Pull Zalenium docker image and run it.

 # Pull docker-selenium

docker pull elgalu/selenium

# Pull Zalenium

 docker pull dosel/zalenium

 # Run it!

  docker run --rm -ti --name zalenium -p 4444:4444 \

      -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \

      -v /tmp/videos:/home/seluser/videos \

      --privileged dosel/zalenium start

After the above command is executed, you can see the output as below.

From the above-highlighted content, you can see, selenium grid is up and running. Please use http://localhost:4444/wd/hub to connect to selenium hub.

Visit: http://localhost:4444/dashboard/# this will open Zalenium dashboard. Zalenium dashboard is a unique dashboard for all test execution status and report.

Visit: http://localhost:4444/grid/admin/live to see the live execution happening in docker container created by Zalenium.

Step 3:

Point your Selenium test to http://localhost:4444/wd/hub and run it.

If you wish to run this in Jenkins please use ip address of your host machine.

I have created a sample Java-Gradle project and kept it in bitbucket.

https://bitbucket.org/devakash/sel-zalenium

Step 4:

Create a Jenkins job, which have bitbucket configuration for above repo. And try running it. Sample configuration from Jenkins looks like below:

Happy learning.
