Selenium-Grid-Extras hub as a Jenkins plug-in? #249

Open IgorBM opened 8 years ago

IgorBM commented 8 years ago

Any chance to have Selenium-Grid-Extras as a Jenkins plug-in? Maybe not as fully functional grid, but only a hub on master?

Hi @IgorBM . I think @dimacus was working on a jenkins plug-in. I don't know all of the details though.

looking forward for this plug-in, this could save lot of maintenance

Any updates on this ?

There is no update on this. Just curious, what is the need for a jenkins plugin ? I am no longer a maintainer on this project since I don't have any time anymore, but was just curious.

Hello,

I'd like to have a selenium grid extras plugin that allows you to configure a hub and several nodes (on dedicated machines) as well as remote node configuration from that plugin.

The plugin runs a docker container (inside cloudbees for example) that acts as a hub where the nodes take their configuration from that hub and register to that hub as well.

This allows us to have a highly available framework to handle browser testing.

Was i clear enough or should i explain more?

Thanks,

Jad

Hi, in times of my initial request, we used a regular Selenium Hub as a Jenkins plugin and it was very convenient that way, for example, when Jenkins is restarted its plugins restart automatically. However, you can not add any additional servlets that way, unless you develop you own plugin. We were considering Grid Extras as a possible solution, so we asked about plugin in order to keep Grid layout we had that time. Finally, we stick with Grid Extensions (with Sikuli), and moved the Hub to different host, but it appeared in a long term that we depend on a 3rd party team and when Selenium started releasing new versions very quickly that team fell far behind Selenium Release Schedule. And we had to spend time and have our own fixes to their code, forked their repo locall and compiled it with our changes, and submitted our changes back to them. Thus the Grid-Extension solution became inelegant. So, I would rather stick with plain Selenium, especially now we often use Docker and I do not want to create Docker images for Selenium with additional servlets by myself.
