Running Selenium Java Tests

The following steps will guide you on how to run Selenium Java tests using a repository of SeleniumHQ/seleniumhq.github.io examples.

Initial Setup

Prerequisites

Ensure that Java Development Kit (JDK) and Maven are installed on your system. If they are not installed, you will need to download and install them. You can find detailed installation guides for both on their respective official sites.

Clone the repository

First, we need to get the Selenium Java examples on your local machine. This can be done by cloning the SeleniumHQ/seleniumhq.github.io Git repository. Run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/seleniumhq.github.io.git

Navigate to the java directory

After cloning the repository, navigate into the directory where the Selenium Java examples are located. Run the following command:

cd seleniumhq.github.io/examples/java

Running the Tests

Install dependencies

Before running the tests, we need to install all necessary dependencies. Maven, a software project management tool, can do this for us. Run the following command:

mvn test-compile

Run all tests

To verify if everything is installed correctly and functioning properly, we should run all available tests. This can be done with the following command:

mvn test

Please be patient! If this is your first time running these tests, it might take a while to download and verify all necessary browser drivers.

Execute a specific example

To run a specific Selenium Java example, use the following command:

mvn exec:java -D"exec.mainClass"="dev.selenium.getting_started.FirstScript" -D"exec.classpathScope"=test

Make sure to replace dev.selenium.getting_started.FirstScript with the path and name of the example you want to run.
