[mojo-dev] Selenium 2.19.0 RemoteWebDriver support

[Koen Serneels]

Hello,

 

I'm using Maven selenium plugin 2.2 together with Selenium 2.19.0.

I'm using the RemoteWebDriver protocol to connect to the selenium server.

Whenever I launch a test I get a ClassNotFoundException on apache http core
libraries inside the Selenium server launched by Maven.

 

After some investigation it seems that the classpath inside the plugin is
not ready for the latest selenium, at least not when using RemoteWebDriver.

 

After adding following dependencies to the plugin source everything was ok:

 

pathelement(location: pluginArifact('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore'))

pathelement(location: pluginArifact('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient'))

pathelement(location: pluginArifact('org.json:json'))

pathelement(location:
pluginArifact('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chrome-driver'))

pathelement(location:
pluginArifact('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-ie-driver'))

pathelement(location:
pluginArifact('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-firefox-driver'))

pathelement(location:
pluginArifact('org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-htmlunit-driver'))

 

(this required me to build a custom version of the plugin to be able to
continue)

 

Finally I had to declare the driver dependencies as extra dependencies when
configuring the plugin:

 

<plugin>

                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

                <artifactId>selenium-maven-plugin</artifactId>

                <version>2.2-CUSTOM</version>

                <dependencies>

                               <dependency>

 
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

 
<artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>

                                               <version>2.19.0</version>

                               </dependency>

 

                               <dependency>

 
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

 
<artifactId>selenium-ie-driver</artifactId>

                                               <version>2.19.0</version>

                               </dependency>

 

                               <dependency>

 
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

 
<artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>

                                               <version>2.19.0</version>

                               </dependency>

 

                               <dependency>

 
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

 
<artifactId>selenium-htmlunit-driver</artifactId>

                                               <version>2.19.0</version>

                               </dependency>

                </dependencies>

</plugin>

 

Could this be changed in the next version so we can get rid of the the
custom version?

 

Thank you,

 

Koen.
