Setup Selenium GRID 2 on Mac with iPhone and Android

Question

Hi I am trying to setup Selenium GRID II on Mac server using iPhone simulator and Android emulator. I am able to connect iPhone to Grid and even I am able to start the test. But while connecting Android Emulator I get following error.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Error forwarding the new session cannot find : {platform=MAC, browserName=android, version=}

What I am doing?

1.) I install android-standalone-server.apk on Android and forwarded port 8080 to 8080 using adb.

2.) Than started new node which connects to Grid as given below

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -port 8080 -browser browserName="Android",version="4",platform="MAC"

What's wrong I am doing?

Answer 1

I was able to finally get an Android test working. I followed the instructions detailed at https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AndroidDriver

Don't start a local node to connect to your hub. Instead, after starting the WebDriver on your Android device, forward the port using the adb -s {id} forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080 command. That is it. You are ready to test. You have modify your test to now connect to the port you are forwarding.

I use selenium grid, so I had to modify my tests to accomodate the different hub when performing android tests. I can't connect to the selenium hub, instead I have to connect directly to the android device as if it is a hub. I could not find a way to register the android device as a node with my main selenium hub that I use.

In your android tests, you need to connect to the http://localhost:8080/wd/hub when creating your RemoteWebDriver. This will connect you to the hub on the android device and your tests will work from there.

Wish there was a way to configure the WebDriver on the android device to register as a node with an existing hub. I am sure there is, but I haven't figured it out.

Answer 2

2 things to try.

1: try running the node launch command with this updated syntax: java -jar selenium-server-standalone.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -port 8080 -browser "browserName=android,version=4,platform=MAC"

2: follow the updated instructions here:
