mvn selenium:selenese hangs in the Spring Roo Tutorial


I am working my way through the Spring Roo Tutorial and I get stuck at this point:

http://static.springsource.org/spring-roo/reference/html/beginning.html#beginning-step-7

This is the Maven Command line output:

C:\pizza>mvn selenium:selenese
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
14:53:20.476 INFO - Preparing Firefox profile...
14:53:23.026 INFO - Launching Firefox...

at this point my FireFox 11 browser is launched but there is now visible URL and everything just seems to hang.

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

Environment: OS Windows 7 JDK 1.6 Maven 3.0.3 Firefox 11 latest spring roo downloaded


Solution

  • It's the selenium plugin configuration in the pom.xml. Note: Out of the box ( so to speak ) Roo is going to expect firefox 3.x You can either install Firefox 3.x or you can change the configuration to use another supported browser - for example:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>selenium-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.1</version>
                <configuration>
                <browser>*safari</browser>
                <suite>src/main/webapp/selenium/test-suite.xhtml</suite>
                <results>${project.build.directory}/selenium.html</results>
                <startURL>http://localhost:4444/</startURL>
            </configuration>
                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
                        <artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
                        <version>2.9.0</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>
            </plugin>
