Running a local test farm

Install​

Clone our local farm bootstrap repository with git:

cd my-root-folder-of-cool-projects
git clone https://pumpitup@dev.azure.com/pumpitup/pumpo-number-five/_git/test-auto-farm-bootstrap
cd test-auto-farm-bootstrap

For Windows users, edit the file docker-compose.yml, navigate to services.selenoid.volumes and do the following:

  • uncomment (remove #): - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
  • comment: - /mnt/wsl/shared-docker/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Pull all required docker images using docker-compose pull with the profile capabilities:

docker-compose --profile capabilities pull

The download process may take a few minutes.

Start-up​

Startup your local farm by running the following docker-compose command:

docker-compose up -d

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080/. You should see something similar to the image below:

selenoid-ui

Both SSE and SELENOID indicators should be green saying CONNECTED.

Congrats! You have a local test farm running.

You can now proceed to launching your first test. The test should connect to the farm on th url localhost:4444 and you should be able to se both logs and the browser on the test farm user interface when it is running.

Shut-down​

When done you can shut down your local test farm using the following command:

docker-compose down

Troubleshooting​

  • In case of you cannot get farm running locally (e.g. due to company policies) contact us directly by email and we can talk about using our 'shared farm'.
  • If ports 8080 or 4444 are occupied on your local machine, you can always use other ports by editing the file docker-compose.yml
