Install Selenium Server

Installing and configuring selenium server for automated testing sessions.

Some time I do test using some internal or external selenium server, but they do not have the option of restarting every thing from the beginning .

I just want a very fast and basic solution, if the test finish I want the selenium server to restart, and gave me a fresh start for the next automated testing session.

I made this list of script with a basic installer which:

  • Have Selenium standalone server will downloaded and installed on your localhost or server.
  • Then selenium will start working after reboots.
  • This selenium server will start at the 4445 port number.

You will need to have Java first.

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

================================================================================

Run the following command to install selenium server:

$  sh ./install-selenium-server.sh

================================================================================

We could use the following commands to control the server

sudo /etc/init.d/selenium start

sudo /etc/init.d/selenium stop

sudo /etc/init.d/selenium restart

================================================================================

If you want to Uninstall :

$  sh ./uninstall-selenium-server.sh

================================================================================

Then Reboot.

The only thing we do need is a reset Button to restart the selenium server to work in a new automated testing session.
