Ansible Selenium Server

This environment is used to install a Selenium Standalone Server on a virtual machine, merely for a testing platform.

Requirements

• Vagrant 1.5 or higher has to be installed.
• Ansible 1.8 or higher has to be installed.
• As the installation work only for Virtualbox, you will need to install it.

Setup

Run the following command in the directory containing the Vagrantfile:

$ vagrant up

Vagrant will launch a VM and install:

• Java
• Selenium Standalone Server (with Chromedriver)
• Xvfb (with a service for Selenium)
• Chromium
• Firefox

It can take between 5 to 10 mins depending on the amount of RAM you have on your computer, the hard disk drive I/O speed and your Internet connection speed.

Once the installation has completed, the Selenium Server is available at http://172.16.3.10:4444/wd/hub/.
