I was attempting to set the workingDirectory, logOutput and userExensions
parameters to set up the selenium:start-server goal in a pom, like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-selenium</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>start-server</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<background>true</background>
<workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}\myFolderName</workingDirectory>
<logFile>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}/pages/selenium/results/server.log</logFile>
<logOutput>true</logOutput>
<userExtensions>target/${project.artifactId}/pages/selenium/core/scripts/user-extensions.js</userExtensions>
.
.
.
I found that the server seemed to write to the logOutput folder as expected,
but it seemed to always look for the userExtensions file (not mine, the one
it creates by concatenating the default and mine together) in the
${project.build.directory}\selenium folder. I looked at the plugin code
(StartServerMojo.groovy) and found the following declaration
/**
* Working directory where Selenium server will be started from.
*
* @parameter expression="${project.build.directory}/selenium"
* @required
*/
File workingDirectory
.
.
.
* The file that Selenium server logs will be written to.
*
* @parameter expression="${logFile}"
default-value="${project.build.directory}/selenium/server.log"
* @required
*/
File logFile
I noticed that the logFile parameter has an expression AND a default value,
while the workingDirectory parameter ONLY has an expression that is hard
coded to “${project.build.directory}/selenium”
I am wondering if this is intentional or if it is an error. If it is
intentional, can you explain the reasoning?
Also, it would be good if the documentation for workingDirectory explained
what the parameter does, in terms of the server’s use of the parameter.
Just saying it is a “working directory” is very vague. For example, saying
something like “this is the working directory where the server puts all
files it creates. For example, the user-extensions.js file created by
concatenating the file, if any, specified by the userExtensions parameter
with the defaultUserExtensions file.”
