I have followed the steps in the tutorial (link below) to the letter, and every time I try to run selenium tests for php code it fails. The html output in the output window shows the error "cannot connect to selenium server". It shows a URL of "http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver" which appears valid. The link to the tutorial I followed: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/phpunit.html I had this issue before in Linux but it works perfect in Linux (Fedora 17) currently. I have documented my tests and PASS/FAIL results here: http://forums.netbeans.org/topic32842.html&highlight= This is currently only an issue in Windows as far as I can tell. Also, before asked here, I have documented all the general questions I can think of in the forum post listed above... and will answer here as well... Have I installed Selenium Server plugin: YES Is Selenium running: YES Is it running on port 4444: YES Can you run phpunit on command line: YES Does it pass on command line: YES Does it fail in Netbeans: YES Is bootstrap and configuration xml set in Netbeans: YES Is Selenium test directory set in Netbeans: YES When I run phpunit on command line, it works flawlessly whether I run the latest jar file down by hand or start the plugin in Netbeans. When I select "Run selenium tests" in Netbeans (whether using jar or plugin) it fails with "cannot connect to selenium server". Every developer that I ask at my office has run into this issue and has given up on using Netbeans for Selenium testing in PHP projects unless they run Linux on the Desktop. Also, there seems to be a large number of developers on various forms that run into the same issue.
Created attachment 126869 [details] The output from a failed selenium test I have tested the selenium server by opening a web browser and going to the following link: http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/ This gives me the expected sessions page where I can create and refresh sessions. This shows that selenium is in fact running. Also, the previous tests using phpunit on command line works as well. Just more information to help diagnose. ;-)
We do have a new version of Selenium plugin in distribution, so closing all old issues to start with the clean table.
