This appears to be the problem: ------------------ selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. The output was: Error: no display specified\n' ------------------
Firefox, like all Unix GUI applications, requires the environment variable DISPLAY that points to an X server where it draws its windows. If you are testing GUI applications in Jenkins, you should either run Jenkins within a GUI login session (instead of running it as a background daemon) or use something like Xvfb or Xvnc to set up a virtual X server to Firefox to use. -- Sami 2012/2/21 Steve Barnette <stevebarne...@kossresource.com>: > Here is the error message and config's I am using during testing. > > Steve B. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > FYI: The python source is the selenium's example from thier doc. > > In first two cases appears source code is found, but the selenium > isn't. > Selenium is installed and from command line any account can run the > program, > only except is under the Jenkins account.
