Installing selenium and web-drivers for Chrome & Firefox on Linux x64 and using phpunit.
In your home directory create directory ~/lib/selenium to start running selenium from.
mkdir -p ~/lib/selenium
Download the webdriver for Chrome from Google.
cd ~/lib/selenium
wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/108.0.5359.22/chromedriver_linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
Download the webdriver for Edge driver from Microsoft
Not spend any time to it.
Download the Selenium for Firefox (v107.0) from GitHub
cd ~/lib/selenium
wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.32.0/geckodriver-v0.32.0-linux64.tar.gz
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
Create shell script start.sh to start the server with the downloaded webdriver locations.
When in the same directory it is not needed pass them on the command line.
It seems it also tries to find using the path environment variable.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
java -jar \
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=./chromedriver \
-Dwebdriver.firefox.driver=./geckodriver \
selenium-server-4.6.0.jar standalone --port 4444
@echo off
java
-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=.\chromedriver.exe ^
-Dwebdriver.firefox.driver=.\geckodriver.exe ^
-jar selenium-server-4.6.0.jar -port 4444
Got the information from the PHPUnit Website.
Install using PHP composer the following modules in the root of your PHP project.
The <project-root>/vendor directory is created in the root of the project where the composer command is executed.
You need composer v2 because v1 is obsolete.
Added option --ignore-platform-reqs to ignore required and not installed PHP-modules ().
Als added option --dev since they are only used during development and not for deployment.
composer require --ignore-platform-reqs --dev phpunit/phpunit
composer require --ignore-platform-reqs --dev phpunit/phpunit-selenium
Tunneling port 4444 of localhost back the local running Selenium server
for when running a test from the command line on a remote machine.
Adding the debugging port tunnel for your IDE can be achieved adding -R 9000:localhost:9000 at the end.
ssh <user>@<machine> -R 4444:localhost:4444
# And fro debugging at the same time.
ssh <user>@<machine> -R 4444:localhost:4444 -R 9000:localhost:9000
For selenium on Firefox you need a profile called selenium
Goto the profile manager by entering about:profiles as the address in the omni-bar.
Click on the 'Create New Profile' button and enter the name 'selenium'`.
