OK, today is the day. I finally started (again) to use TDD.
I notice that this thing called Dusk has appeared. Great, browser testing.
The only problem is that I get this:
Failed connect to localhost:9515; Connection refused
I did chmod 777 on the chromedriver files and still get the error.
My dev server is a Centos vm. Is this the problem?
Edit:
I think I am making some progress:
yum install GConf2
Now I get:
cannot find Chrome binary
EDIT
I am back on this now.
php artisan dusk gives me:
Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\UnknownServerException: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.28.455506 (18f6627e265f442aeec9b6661a49fe819aeeea1f),platform=Linux 3.10.0-327.3.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64)
If I do this:
./vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chromedriver-linux
I get this:
Starting ChromeDriver 2.28.455506 (18f6627e265f442aeec9b6661a49fe819aeeea1f) on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
Any ideas?

Try running: ./vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chrome-linux
If you see:
Starting ChromeDriver 2.28.455506 (18f6627e265f442aeec9b6661a49fe819aeeea1f) on port 9515 (or whatever port you are using)
Only local connections are allowed. Then it is working. I also had to install the google-chrome binary:
How to install 64-bit Google Chrome on 64-bit RHEL/CentOS 7
The other thing to install is Xvfb. Then you can run this command in a new terminal: Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1280x960x24 &
This is supposed to be the way to run this. I however, have not been able to get this to work. I am hoping someone can also add some input here.
Update:
I got his to work. Make sure that nothing is running as root.
What I'm trying to do
Use selenium and its ruby bindings to open chrome and read a value from the DOM. This portion works great however I need to run it on a linux server headlessly. Seemed easy enough so I ran it using xvfb-run using this command:
export PATH=$PATH:./bin
xvfb-run --server-arg="-screen 0, 1024x768x16" ruby script.rb
The first line adds the binary chromedriver to PATH and the second lines runs the script through xvfb. I got this working on an EC2 ubuntu box which is essentially a dev box. Everything is great.
Now comes time to run it on another EC2 ubuntu box using the same bash script. It spits out an error that the chromedriver binary couldn't be found. Odd since it worked fine on the other box. I checked, the binary is there. I manually add it to the path and run the bash script again, same error. After some troubleshooting and googling I found this:
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver
This advises that the chromedriver needs to be symlink'd to /usr/bin/google-chrome. Again odd since it works fine on the other box and my local machine without this symlink. I symlinked it to this location and now this is the error I'm getting:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/selenium-webdriver-2.41.0/lib/selenium/webdriver/remote/response.rb:51:in `assert_ok': unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)
I've never gotten this on my local or dev box. Any ideas? Is this an issue with chromedriver, xvfb or the environment its running in? Some difference in the deploy box that would be different than the dev box I'm missing?
I figured this out. Misunderstanding the directions here. Installed google-chrome in /usr/bin and it worked.
I'm trying to set up CI on my local machine running on Mac. To do so I use Xubuntu virtual machine, Jenkins, and some simple selenium tests. tests on github
I get fresh install of Xubuntu, where I install Jenkins using official manual.
In Jenkins I installed some plugins(git, ruby, rake, rbenv).
In job config I use rbenv wrapper(2.1.0) with ignorance of os versions, also I use this gemlist:
bundler,rake,rspec,selenium-webdriver,capybara
and running that job with
rspec spec
And when I run this job I recieve something like that for every test:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError:
unable to obtain stable firefox connection in 60 seconds (127.0.0.1:7055)
full output is here
it looks like jenkins user have no access to display to run/see firefox.
Anyone know how to make it work?
We ran into this at work recently and actually opted for Capybara and set the driver to poltergeist. This seemed better than trying to figure out how to run FF on our VM's.
That said, we were able to get a small test suite running by following the instructions here
Answer was not so simple as I think.
The problem is that jenkins service has no access to displays (when it installed via native package). Thats why when I try to start Firefox it's throw me a error. try:
$ sudo su - jenkins && firefox
So it's need access to display to start browser successfully.
This is how I done it:
first of all I used answer form here where I changed to my local user.
Then I installed xvfb plugin to Jenkins, and in my build job preset display to '0' - which is my actual user display. with that option all my tests would run 'headless' but on actual display.
This could be not the best way to solve my problem, but it definitely works for me.
I get this error when I run my cucumber tests:
"*Unable to either launch or connect to Chrome. Please check that ChromeDriver is up-to-date. Using Chrome binary at: /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)
*"
I downloaded the chromdriver, unzip it, copy it to the path (/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome ) and sudo chmod +x /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome.
which google-chrome : /usr/bin/google-chrome
which chromedriver : /usr/share/ruby-rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318/bin/chromedriver
capybara (1.1.2)
cucumber (0.9.4)
cucumber-rails (0.3.2)
selenium-webdriver (2.20.0)
I searched my error but none of the answers worked for me!
When I run my test I do not see chrome starts!
I really dont know what is wrong! I tried two different versions of chromedriver!
Jenkins should run/executes my tests in CI.The tests work when you run them but not when Jenkins runs them? I could run them by another user and then I installed jenkins and I get this error. I get the same error when I run my tests in terminal at terminal as well.Did you read https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/My+software+builds+on+my+computer+but+not+on+Jenkins ? I couldnt find much about my problem here. xvfb: I installed the plugin in the jenkins but in the build environment if I click "run xvfb before the build and shut it down after", I get this error: "FATAL: null java.lang.NullPointerException"
Please provide more details. How does this question relate to Jenkins? Is Jenkins executing the tests? The tests work when you run them but not when Jenkins runs them? You do not go so far as to say that out loud, but I will assume it because it is what people usually need help with.
Did you read https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/My+software+builds+on+my+computer+but+not+on+Jenkins ?
If you are executing Chrome inside a Jenkins job, do you have something like https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin or https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvnc+Plugin installed?
chromedriver can be installed in two ways: downloading, decompressing the zip and putting the file in "/usr/bin" or adding the "chromedriver-helper" gem in your Gemfile.
Choose one or another way because doing both many time it causes problems. If you are installing chromedriver from google, be sure to uninstall the gem:
gem uninstall chromedriver-helper
and be sure chromedriver is in your path:
which chromedriver
Give this a try instead => https://github.com/flavorjones/chromedriver-helper
Finally I found the answer:
if you want to run GUI tests on Jenkins CI running on Windows do not
configure it as a windows service instead run it from the command
prompt or set it up as a scheduled task to run on windows logon using
the command “java -jar jenkins.war”

The firewall I'm behind is running Microsoft ISA server in NTLM-only mode. Hash anyone have success getting their Ruby gems to install/update via Ruby SSPI gem or other method?
... or am I just being lazy?
Note: rubysspi-1.2.4 does not work.
This also works for "igem", part of the IronRuby project
For the Windows OS, I used Fiddler to work around the issue.
Install/Run Fiddler from www.fiddler2.com
Run gem:
$ gem install --http-proxy http://localhost:8888 $gem_name
I wasn't able to get mine working from the command-line switch but I have been able to do it just by setting my HTTP_PROXY environment variable. (Note that case seems to be important). I have a batch file that has a line like this in it:
SET HTTP_PROXY=http://%USER%:%PASSWORD%#%SERVER%:%PORT%
I set the four referenced variables before I get to this line obviously. As an example if my username is "wolfbyte", my password is "secret" and my proxy is called "pigsy" and operates on port 8080:
SET HTTP_PROXY=http://wolfbyte:secret#pigsy:8080
You might want to be careful how you manage that because it stores your password in plain text in the machine's session but I don't think it should be too much of an issue.
This totally worked:
gem install --http-proxy http://COMPANY.PROXY.ADDRESS $gem_name
I've been using cntlm (http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/) at work. Configuration is very similar to ntlmaps.
gem install --http-proxy http://localhost:3128 _name_of_gem_
Works great, and also allows me to connect my Ubuntu box to the ISA proxy.
Check out http://cntlm.wiki.sourceforge.net/ for more information
I tried some of these solutions, and none of them worked. I finally found a solution that works for me:
gem install -p http://proxy_ip:proxy_port rails
using the -p parameter to pass the proxy. I'm using Gem version 1.9.1.
Create a .gemrc file (either in /etc/gemrc or ~/.gemrc or for example with chef gem in /opt/chef/embedded/etc/gemrc) containing:
http_proxy: http://proxy:3128
Then you can gem install as usual.
This solved my problem perfectly:
gem install -p http://proxy_ip:proxy_port compass
You might need to add your user name and password to it:
gem install -p http://[username]:[password]#proxy_ip:proxy_port compass
If you are having problems getting authenticated through your proxy, be sure to set the environment variables in exactly the format below:
set HTTP_PROXY=some.proxy.com
set HTTP_PROXY_USER=user
set HTTP_PROXY_PASS=password
The user:password# syntax doesn't seem to work and there are also some badly named environment variables floating around on Stack Overflow and various forum posts.
Also be aware that it can take a while for your gems to start downloading. At first I thought it wasn't working but with a bit of patience they started downloading as expected.
Quick answer : Add proxy configuration with parameter for both install/update
gem install --http-proxy http://host:port/ package_name
gem update --http-proxy http://host:port/ package_name
I tried all the above solutions, however none of them worked. If you're on linux/macOS i highly suggest using tsocks over an ssh tunnel. What you need in order to get this setup working is a machine where you can log in via ssh, and in addition to that a programm called tsocks installed.
The idea here is to create a dynamic tunnel via SSH (a socks5 proxy). We then configure tsocks to use this tunnel and to start our applications, in this case:
tsocks gem install ...
or to account for rails 3.0:
tsocks bundle install
A more detailed guide can be found under:
http://blog.byscripts.info/2011/04/bypass-a-proxy-with-ssh-tunnel-and-tsocks-under-ubuntu/
Despite being written for Ubuntu the procedure should be applicable for all Unix based machines. An alternative to tsocks for Windows is FreeCap (http://www.freecap.ru/eng/). A viable SSH client on windows is called putty.
Posts abound regarding this topic, and to help others save hours of trying different solutions, here is the final result of my hours of tinkering.
The three solutions around the internet at the moment are:
rubysspi
apserver
cntlm
rubysspi only works from a Windows machine, AFAIK, as it relies on the Win32Api library. So if you are on a Windows box trying to run through a proxy, this is the solution for you. If you are on a Linux distro, you're out of luck.
apserver seems to be a dead project. The link listed in the posts I've seen lead to 404 page on sourceforge. I search for "apserver" on sourceforge returns nothing.
The sourceforge link for cntlm that I've seen redirects to http://cntlm.awk.cz/, but that times out. A search on sourceforge turns up this link, which does work: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cntlm/
After downloading and configuring cntlm I have managed to install a gem through the proxy, so this seems to be the best solution for Linux distros.
A workaround is to install http://web.archive.org/web/20060913093359/http://apserver.sourceforge.net:80/ on your local machine, configure it and run gems through this proxy.
Install: Just download apserver 097 (and not the experimental 098!) and unpack.
Configure: Edit the server.cfg file and put the values for your MS proxy in PARENT_PROXY and PARENT_PROXY_PORT. Enter the values for DOMAIN and USER. Leave PASSWORD blank (nothing after the colon) – you will be prompted when launching it.
Run apserver: cd aps097; python main.py
Run Gems: gem install—http-proxy http://localhost:5865/ library
I am working behind a proxy and just installed SASS by downloading directly from http://rubygems.org.
I then ran sudo gem install [path/to/downloaded/gem/file]. I cannot say this will work for all gems, but it may help some people.
This worked for me in a Windows box:
set HTTP_PROXY=http://server:port
set HTTP_PROXY_USER=username
set HTTP_PROXY_PASS=userparssword
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://server:port
set HTTPS_PROXY_USER=username
set HTTPS_PROXY_PASS=userpassword
I have a batch file with these lines that I use to set environment values when I need it.
The trick, in my case, was HTTPS_PROXY sets. Without them, I always got a 407 proxy authentication error.
If you are on a *nix system, use this:
export http_proxy=http://${proxy.host}:${port}
export https_proxy=http://${proxy.host}:${port}
and then try:
gem install ${gem_name}
rubysspi-1.3.1 worked for me on Windows 7, using the instructions from this page:
http://www.stuartellis.eu/articles/installing-ruby/
If you want to use SOCKS5 proxy, you may try rubygems-socksproxy https://github.com/gussan/rubygems-socksproxy.
It works for me on OSX 10.9.3.
If behind a proxy, you can navigate to Ruby downloads, click on Download, which will download the specified update ( or Gem ) to a desired location.
Next, via Ruby command line, navigate to the downloaded location by using : pushd [directory]
eg : pushd D:\Setups
then run the following command: gem install [update name] --local
eg: gem install rubygems-update --local.
Tested on Windows 7 with Ruby update version 2.4.1.
To check use following command : ruby -v
Rather than editing batch files (which you may have to do for other Ruby gems, e.g. Bundler), it's probably better to do this once, and do it properly.
On Windows, behind my corporate proxy, all I had to do was add the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to my system.
Start -> right click Computer -> Properties
Choose "Advanced System Settings"
Click Advanced -> Environment Variables
Create a new System variable named "HTTP_PROXY", and set the Value to your proxy server
Reboot or log out and back in again
Depending on your authentication requirements, the HTTP_PROXY value can be as simple as:
http://proxy-server-name
Or more complex as others have pointed out
http://username:password#proxy-server-name:port-number
for anyone tunnelling with SSH; you can create a version of the gem command that uses SOCKS proxy:
Install socksify with gem install socksify (you'll need to be able to do this step without proxy, at least)
Copy your existing gem exe
cp $(command which gem) /usr/local/bin/proxy_gem
Open it in your favourite editor and add this at the top (after the shebang)
require 'socksify'
if ENV['SOCKS_PROXY']
require 'socksify'
host, port = ENV['SOCKS_PROXY'].split(':')
TCPSocket.socks_server = host || 'localhost'
TCPSocket.socks_port = port.to_i || 1080
end
Set up your tunnel
ssh -D 8123 -f -C -q -N user#proxy
Run your gem command with proxy_gem
SOCKS_PROXY=localhost:8123 proxy_gem push mygem
