Setting the Selenium Grid

• Download the latest version of Selenium Server here. To set up the Hub, run

java -jar <path_to_selenium_server_jar> -role hub

This uses port 4444 by default for its web interface.

To set up a node, run

java -jar <path_to_selenium_server_jar> -role webdriver -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register/ -port 5566

You can use the free port of choice.

To check web console, go to http://localhost:4444/grid/console

If you are running hub and nodes in different machines, localhost should be replaced with IP address of hub. This should also be updated in project_dir/env/user.properties.
