How can I tell JWebUnit to contact specific Selenium servers

Question

We want to run selenium backed jwebunit tests from our hudson server. We have a couple of selenium rc servers already on our network which I'd like to reuse.

However how can I configure jwebunit to use those servers as I would like to avoid installing a slenium rc server on the hudson. Building is already work enough without starting/stopping firefoxes.

Answer 1

Ok, as far as i can see it cannot be done immediately : it is hardcoded in the implementation.

public void beginAt(URL aInitialURL, TestContext aTestContext) throws TestingEngineResponseException {
    this.setTestContext(aTestContext);
    selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", port, "*chrome", aInitialURL.toString());
    selenium.start();
    gotoPage(aInitialURL);
}

Have you tried Selenium Grid and then you just point your tests at the Selenium Grid Hub and your tests never have to know where the Selenium Remote Control servers are.
