Selenium tests on hudson

[wmoore]

We have a small number of tests in webadmin/tests/seleniumtests.py, enough to get tests running on hudson.

Selenium Plugin on hudson ​http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Selenium+Plugin

Will, there's no way I'll be able to address this for Thursday. Pushing to the next sprint. If anyone can pick it up before then, that'd be great. As of #4404, tests are being run for the OMERO-trunk-components job, so having these active would be useful. This will require on Linux either getting nginx (perhaps via a manual compile) or using the development server. On Windows, this will be trickier since it involves IIS.

(In [97f15c68eb46f954184c20060aa45b68bd36da1f/ome.git] on branch develop) Every build has to produce at least one junit-compatible XML file, see #2990, see #4452

At this moment selenium are started only on linux environment. Tests are failing because there are no supported web browsers installed:

Josh, I am passing it to you. Once any infrastructure changes appear I am glad to continue.

After ​https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/community/minutes/minigroup/webmeeting/2011/2011-07-26, putting this back in 4.3.2 for evaluation. Minimally need xvfb on all linux servers.

[atarkowska]

Due to large number of UI changes we will come back to selenium testing later once UI design is more stable.

[jamoore]

For evaluation over the summer.

Note that Robot Framework supports both Selenium 2 and Java Swing, which might help to reduce maintenance overhead for test scripts that apply to both Insight and Web. I'll take a closer look at the Java side of RF next week in working on #11210.

[jamoore]

Passing this to Will. It might be that someone else creates the job, but it seems like as this is one of the major goals of the summer's testing, Will should be happy and sign-off on whatever is setup.

[jburel]

The selenium tests have been rewritten using the RobotFramework.
See components/tests/ui/web

The test should be removed. Another ticket will be created.
