I’m trying to follow the tutorial here to setup a headless selenium test-run with jenkins. I’m running CentOS 5.6, and I’ve followed the instructions. Now, when I run this:

export DISPLAY=":99" && java -jar /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar -browserSessionReuse -htmlSuite *firefox http://www.google.com ./test/selenium/html/TestSuite.html ./target/selenium/html/TestSuiteResults.html

Selenium hangs on INFO - Checking Resource Aliases. I can run the TestSuite.html file manually, and the path is correct.

How can I even begin to try and figure out what’s going on? Is there a way I could connect to the display to see what’s happening? I am behind a corporate proxy, but with or without -Dhttp.proxyHost arguments, I get the same hung result.

    Well, after pointing at an internal server, I get right on past the INFO - Checking Resource Aliases step, so clearly the proxy was the issue.

    By trying to hit a site that required the proxy, I was doing too much at once. Confounding variables confounded me.
