I already have Watir-Ruby scripts running on a macintosh which uses Firefox as the browser to run the automation.

I have been given a linux server where the Jenkins build is going on. I got to put my scripts in that server and the automation needs to kick off once the build is done. Will Jenkins on linux be able to trigger UI Automation on a macintosh or will the UI Automation run on the linux machine?

  • Hudson and Jenkins are nearly identical. Jenkins split up from Hudson some years ago, but the foundation is the same and they work very similar.

There are two directions you can take if you want to run the UI test on a Mac with Jenkins:

But Linux can run Firefox WebDriver tests just fine, question if they really need to run on the Mac :)
