Setting a test using xvfb + PyCharm + vagrant

I have this environment:

I want to be able to run/debug tests using PyCharm. So far I can do it but I recently added selenium to my tests now I need to wrap the python interpreter within xvfb-run remote command. I tried adding a remote external tool but I can't make it work yet. I found this guy but he doesn't explain very well how he made it. Any idea would be very appreciated :-)

Thanks to this answer, I solved without adding an external tool. Steps:

  • Installed xvfbwrapper on remote python environment

  • Code sample:

    from selenium.webdriver.firefox.webdriver import WebDriver
from django.contrib.staticfiles.testing import StaticLiveServerTestCase
from xvfbwrapper import Xvfb

class UITestCase(StaticLiveServerTestCase):
    fixtures = ['data.json']

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.vdisplay = Xvfb()
        cls.vdisplay.start()
        cls.selenium = WebDriver()
        cls.selenium.implicitly_wait(3000)
        super(UITestCase, cls).setUpClass()

    @classmethod
    def tearDownClass(cls):
        cls.selenium.quit()
        cls.vdisplay.stop()
        super(UITestCase, cls).tearDownClass()

    def test_list(self):
        self.selenium.get('%s%s' % (self.live_server_url, '/#/app'))

        count = len(self.selenium.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="data"]/tbody/tr'))
        self.assertEqual(count, 2)
  • No changes needed to your test configuration (assuming it already ran successfully)
