Setting up Bromine v3 with Selenium RC

Start Selenium RC

  • In Windows open up Command Prompt (Start->Run and type cmd)
  • Navigate to the directory where selenium was unzipped (cd \selenium\selenium-server-1.0.3 in my case)
  • Start the server (java -jar selenium-server.jar)
Selenium RC

Configure Bromine

  • Login with admin/admin
  • Click “Or go to the Control Panel”

Adding nodes

  • Navigate to the NODES page. Here you can see all the configured Selenium RC nodes. There are two preconfigured nodes, and we’ll delete them to clean up this page. Once deleted with the Delete button from the actions column, we can add a new one
Bromine v3 Nodes
  • Click on NEW NODE and fill in the form with these values:
Nodepath: localhost:4444 (this needs to reflect the IP and the port the Selenium RC server is running on)
Operating system: Windows 7 (if you can't find your OS in the list, add it on MISC->OPERATING SYSTEMS page)
Description: Selenium RC on Win 7
Browser: Firefox (select the available browsers on your OS)
  • Submit the form
  • The NODES page is displayed, and you can see the newly added node here. Make sure that the icon in the new row is a green one with a check sign. This means that Bromine is successfully connected to the Selenium RC server.
  • If the dot is red Bromine can’t reach the IP address at port 4444. Check your IP address of the RC server and other problems that might interfere with the network. Firewalls etc.
