Question

I looked on Google and here on stackoverflow, but couldn’t find it.

I know it is possible, to start the selenium standalone server with an Ant script.

I’m trying to do it now for a half of a day.

The only thing what the script should do is:

• Start the selenium standalone sever
• Go to 1 web URL in Firefox
• shutdown

Answer 1

I used the following solution to start the selenium standalone server with Ant:

<target name="selenium">
    <exec executable="cmd">
        <arg value="/c"/>
        <arg value="java -jar ${selenium.standalone} -htmlSuite ${selenium.browser} ${selenium.url} ${selenium.testsuite} ${selenium.result}"/>
    </exec>
</target>
