Use system properties to overwrite tellurium configuration

Robert Fletcher to tellurium-users

Hi

Is it possible to override config values from TelluriumConfig.groovy
with system properties? What I'm specifically interested in doing is
specifying the embedded Selenium server port and the browser, but
theoretically other things could be useful as well.

With the Hudson CI server I can allocate a random open port that I
could then assign for use as the Selenium server port. This means
multiple jobs can run simultaneously without clashing on port 4444.
Similarly the ability to have a system property override the browser
would mean developers working on different machines (especially since
Firefox 3.6 on Mac is not supported) could run in their preferred
browser, also continuous integration jobs can run the tests against
different browsers to ensure compatibility.

Cheers,
Rob
