Vagrant and Chef resources for Selenium Firefox, Phantom JS, and Chrome

Intro

This project contains Vagrant and Chef resources for setting up a box in Virtual Box running Java, Selenium, Firefox, Phantom JS, and Chrome under Linux and under Windows 7 with Spoon.Net and Selenium, Firefox, Chrome and IE (more about IE versions below).

Environment

Based on the BOX_NAME environment the following base box is used

• ubuntu 12.04, ubuntu 14.05 (32- and 64-bit) base box with xvfb, xvnc, java runtime , selenium, firefox
• centos 65 base box with docker, java runtime
• centos 7 unfinished
• windows 7 base box with spoon, exploring available spoon images for selenium-grid and ie,9,10,11

The BOX_GUI environment setting is to toggle the gui(less)mode - important on windows box for spoon.Net testing , though not very stable.

The VAGRANT_USE_PROXY environment entry together with HTTP_PROXY are helpful to deal with firewall development machine setting.

Open Items

There is work in progress on adding chrome recipes to ubuntu, testing on centos, better error detection on windows7, especially with spoon.Net layer.

Note

There is a rich collection of bare bones Windows Vagrant boxes and Packer image templates based on images officially distributed by Microsot intended primarily for browser testing in speciic releases of the Internet Explorer. These boxes, especiallyolder ones, vary in how well winrm automation is supported "out of the box". Practically every one of those base boxes is somewhat large: multi-gigabyte.

With Chef, a big number of dependency cookbooks, especially with centos, is required. These are currently placed in the cookbooks directory which is added to .gitignore: apt, aufs, base, build-essential, chef-nssm, chef-selenium, chef_handler, custom_cpan_modules, databag_manager, device-mapper, dmg, docker, docker_registry, dpkg_autostart, firebug, firefox, git, gitignote.txt, golang, homebrew, hostsfile, iptables, iptables-ng, java, log4j, lxc, modules, ms_dotnet2, ms_dotnet4, ms_dotnet45, ohai, polipo, powershell, python, runit, sample, selenium, selenium_hub, selenium_node, spoon, sysctl, tweak_proxy_settings, vnc, windows, wrapper_hostsfile, wrapper_java, wrapper_yum, xvfb, yum, yum-epel

Occasionally this may lead to a error in provisioning e.g. conflict between build-essential docker dependency that is processed on a windows guest as it were a mac.

Credentials stored in script file

Greetings!

Just exploring the project and saw credentials stored over in launch_vagrant.cmd

https://github.com/sergueik/selenium_vagrant/blob/master/launch-vagrant.cmd

I'm sure those credentials are stale at this point, but you're cruisin' for trouble leaving it in there.
