how to run selenium rc test case in Internet Explorer

Question

My selenium RC java code is running successfully on firefox. Can anyone tell me how to run the same test case on internet explorer?

Solution 1

Change the browser start command string you pass to DefaultSelenium factory. It will be *iehta or *iexplore depending on your selenium version.

new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*iexplore", "http://www.google.com/");

Check out the docs for more info.

Solution 2

Just replace *firefox with *iexplore. The exact code will vary depending on what language you're writing your test in or how you're actually launching the browser.

see: http://seleniumhq.org/docs/05_selenium_rc.html#from-selenese-to-a-program and click the button for your particular language.

Solution 3

If you hit the Script error while running tests on IE with selenium RC, it might be because of not running the selenium server with Administrator privileges. I had the similar issue and could get it running with by running the selenium server as an Administrator

Thanks but it is throwing Internet Explorer Script Error. It is saying 'No such interface supported'

Which version are you using.. It depends on that. I think the earlier versions supported *iehta.. Check the docs for that version for more info about browser interfaces
