Error while running script selenium RC

Question

I am working on selenium 2.18.0 version with firefox 8.0.1.While executing script i am getting error like

15:52:07.342 INFO - Started HttpContext[/wd,/wd]
15:52:07.347 INFO - Started SocketListener on 0.0.0.0:5603
15:52:07.348 INFO - Started org.openqa.jetty.jetty.Server@33db4f6f

15:52:17.558 INFO - Killing Firefox...
15:52:17.560 WARN - Firefox seems to have ended on its own (did we kill the real
 browser???)

so i am not able to run script.

What can i do so that this error will resolve?

This is script i have generated by using IDE

<tr>
    <td>open</td>
    <td>http://www.gmail.com</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>id=Email</td>
    <td>test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>id=Passwd</td>
    <td>test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAndWait</td>
    <td>id=signIn</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>clickAt</td>
    <td>//div[@id=':oy']/div/div</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>name=to</td>
    <td>test@test.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>name=subject</td>
    <td>testSubject</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>css=body[class='editable&nbsp;&nbsp;LW-avf']</td>
    <td>asdasd</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>keyPress</td>
    <td>//div/b[text()='Send']</td>
    <td>13</td>
</tr>

this is first time i am using selenium RC, may be something missed out by me, but i am not able to get that one

i tried with IE 8 getting same error i.e.19:20:40.586 WARN - Embedded iexplore seems to have ended on its own (did we kil l the real browser???)

done with export (java)

Java Code

package com.example.tests;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.*;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class 123 extends SeleneseTestCase {
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        setUp("http://www.google.com/", "*chrome");
    }
    public void test123() throws Exception {
        selenium.start();
        selenium.open("http://www.gmail.com");
        selenium.type("id=Email", "asd");
        selenium.type("id=Passwd", "trest");
        selenium.click("id=signIn");
        selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
        selenium.clickAt("//div[@id=':oy']/div/div", "");
        selenium.type("name=to", "test@test.com");
        selenium.type("name=subject", "testSubject");
        selenium.type("css=body[class='editable  LW-avf']", "asdasd");
        selenium.keyPress("//div/b[text()='Send']", "13");
    }
}

Answer 1

Looks like you are trying to connect to a non-standard port for Selenium RC, I assume Selenium-Server isn't running on that port (This is usually the cause of errors like this).

Try changing your code to:

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*firefox", "<siteYouAreTesting>");

my assumption is that you currently have the port set to 5603 instead of 4444.

Of course this is largely guesswork as you have supplied no code...

Answer 2

maybe try running the jar file outside your testing script from the command line and subsequently running your test script. use java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.18.0.jar also upgrade your firefox to 10.

Answer 3

try to use the "*iexploreproxy" instead of *iexplore and same for firefox "*firefoxproxy" also set your port to 4444.
